Review: Hooked On You

Hooked On You by Kate Meader
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Violet Vasquez is the illegitimate daughter of Clifford Chase, the result of her mother's scheming to net a wealthy NHL player/owner in a one-night stand in Las Vegas. Following his death Violet and her two half sisters jointly inherit the Chicago Rebels. Oldest sister Harper manages the Rebels, middle sister Isobel coaches some of the players but Violet drifts from job to job, never finding a career. Of course having cancer and a preemptive double mastectomy can mess with your head a bit too.

Bren St James is the captain of the Rebels. A divorced father of two little girls his life imploded after years of heavy drinking and he checked himself into rehab. He and Violet met when she first moved to Chicago, she was looking for a quick hook-up with a hot stranger following the reading of Clifford's will and he was sitting in a bar after leaving rehab, looking for some self-respect which wouldn't come from a random hook-up with a tattooed bad girl, even if every part of her appearance speaks deep into his soul. Then Bren found out that Violet was technically his boss, ever since then the two of them have been at loggerheads.

Now Bren's ex-wife needs to 'look after herself' and has checked herself into a facility leaving Bren to look after his two daughters alone. The Rebels rally round but it ends up with Violet acting as temporary nanny, can the two of them put aside their attraction (and their animosity) to co-parent two cute but difficult little girls?

Loved it, just loved it. Sassy heroine, sexy hero, cute kids, a dog and hockey!!
