 I miss Brenda Rothert books. Majority, I like her works. And Hooked does not disappoint me. Miss Rothert always have this ability to telling a story with such sweetness. Her characters are so endearing sweet and love able. If you ever see Maid In Manhattan, Hooked is similar to that movie. 

Jake is NFL player who falls for his hotel maid. Jake has a past where he lost someone. It makes him closed off. I like Jake. He is not typical brooding man whore hero. He has this sensitive side of him that makes him so vulnerable. And I like my hero vulnerable. I also like how Miss Rothert contrast Miranda world and Jake world. Jake world has all that money and fame and yet its like a empty shell. Meanwhile Miranda world is working class but full of love. 

What I wish that can be improved is the plot. I want the plot involving Hailey much more dramatic instead of just side dish of the main story. 

Overall I enjoy this book very much.
