This was such a fun story. I really liked both Marshall and Clover. I love the best friend’s brother trope and this one was done well! I can’t wait for the next book by Jacob Chance.

I seriously freaking LOVED this book! Clover and Marshall’s sexy, hilarious, emotional, and swoon-worthy love story was absolutely brilliant and completely exceeded all of my expectations and more! They have some of the funniest banter, but some of the most heartfelt moments as well.

The storyline was stellar and definitely took me by surprise—in a good way. The plot was perfection and kept me addicted and entertained throughout with some twists and turns along the way. The chemistry between Clover and Marshall was through the roof, and at times it felt a lot more like hate than love. They could push each other’s buttons perfectly, knowing exactly how to wind the other up to reach boiling point. But when they actually opened up and began to let each other in, it was so clear how they were meant to be. The emotional journey these two will take you on is ever so slightly angsty, exhilarating and ultimately very rewarding. There are some very deep emotions that really balance out the humour and make this book a much more thoughtful experience. The slow burn, push and pull between these two had me devouring the pages. Their banter had me laughing out loud and smiling like a loon. The emotion between them just leapt off the page.

Hooked is feel good romance with just the right amount of heartfelt emotion and humour. I laughed so hard at so much of it but I was also so consumed with these multidimensional characters and the many layers that made them who they are. I enjoyed seeing the growth as their journey unfolded and I rooted for their happy even in times of tension. The story is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of everything. It's hilarious and witty and frustrating. It's crazy sexy and a whole lot of surprising. As a whole this book is so well rounded. The plot progression is everything. I was completely consumed from page one with the characters demanding my attention. It's seamlessly written and I felt every emotion that the characters felt and it’s also really relatable in so many ways. This book was an absolute delight to read, and the dynamics between the characters kept me utterly entertained. Without a doubt Marshall and Clover are a top Jacob Chance couple for me! A truly wonderful addition to this series.

Omg! I love this series!! Swoon—Marshall can try to win me over anytime! His gestures-in operation win Clover back-were so sweet & silly how could Clover not love them?? I seriously lol’d at the bathroom update (because yes like a teenage boy I found it hilarious-sorry not sorry).

Hooked is a best friends sibling romance in the Boston Terriers Hockey world.

I was happy to finally return to the Terriers world to see what our favourite hockey team is up to. Marshall and Clover's story was a bit of a frenemies to lovers type story where Clover was angry at Marshall for what he did four years prior and his attitude towards her was a little icy since he was attempting to avoid his attraction to her. I loved the banter and the tension build-up to them finally connecting and it was hot when they finally did.

I loved reconnecting with some of the other teammates and got a good laugh out of Maddie's reaction to Marshall and Clover even after she went through the same thing with Marshall's best friend. The book had me laughing and turning the pages too fast making it feel too short and left me wanting so much more. I can not wait for the next Boston Terriers hockey book.

I simply love this series. Jacob Chance is a master of type of storytelling. We are back with the kids from Boston University, and I missed them!

Clover has had feelings for Marshall for years, what she didn’t know was that those feelings were reciprocated. Take this journey with these two you will be better for it.

This story has everything you will need there’s emotion, a little drama and plenty of steam, plus we get to spend time with some of our old friends. This is a stand alone story but take it from me you will want to go back and read them all ! Jacob’s books are just that good!

I didn’t hate it?

So I read the first book in the series and even though I didn’t hate it I didn’t love it either. But I wanted to give this book a chance.

The story follows Marshall and Clover who are thrown together because Marshall’s sister dates his best friend and Clover is his sister’s best friend.

After a disastrous date with someone else Marshall saves Clover. Then they have their own fling.

I wanted to love it I really did but the dialogue between the characters was predictable, there was no emotion. I didn’t get to know the characters on a deeper level, which I would’ve liked.

If you want an easy read with not much emotion, then this is for you. But if you want something where you can fully engage with the characters then I wouldn’t bother.

This book was so cute but so short!! I wanted more but I was rooting for clover and Marshall the whole time, so I was happy with the outcome. Although I was a little irritated by how mad clover was with Marshall at the end, I can appreciate making a man sweat for a bit

I finished this so quickly. Such a great addition to the series! Marshall and Clover are definitely my new favorite couple of the series. Their story was amazing. It's definitely well-written. It's also filled with witty banter, hilarious back and forth, hot chemistry, and tension between the two. I was swooning with Marshall's tactics to win Clover after some misunderstanding. Definitely, a must read!
