ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Hooked On You

Series: Maple Falls Romance #1

Author: Kathleen Fuller

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Release Date: May 11, 2021

Genre: Contemporary Romance (clean/sweet)

She never wanted to come back. He never wants to leave. The town of Maple Falls has plans for them both.

Riley McAllister is living the dream in New York City . . . if the dream means being a struggling mixed-media artist, part-time food delivery driver, and having a carefully curated social media to hide all of the above. She refuses to admit defeat and move back to small-town Maple Falls, but when her grandmother breaks her leg sliding into third base during a softball game (she was safe, by the way), Riley reluctantly agrees to go home and help the woman who raised her—while secretly hoping she can convince Mimi to sell her house and yarn shop and move in with a good friend. Then Riley can return to her new life in NYC, on her own and for good.

But Mimi has her own plans, which include setting Riley up with local baseball star Hayden Price, who returned to Maple Falls after an injury ended his major league career. Now he works at his father’s hardware store, coaches the church softball team, and worries about the declining town. It’s not the life he dreamed of having.

With a little meddling and a lot of kindness from the town, Hayden and Riley find themselves unexpectedly falling for each other as they discover the true meaning of home.

Welcome to Maple Falls, where everyone knows your name and your business.

MY THOUGHTS

After having enjoyed lots of Amish fiction by Kathleen Fuller, this is my first non-Amish adventure with her. I certainly was not disappointed in the change of genre! Hooked on You is a very enjoyable and sweet story with a great mix of characters dealing with wide-ranging emotions and life-altering decisions.

Being an Arkansas girl who spends much of her time with skeins of yarn and crochet hooks, I found myself quite comfortable in Mimi's yarn shop in the fictional Arkansas town of Maple Falls. Friendships (both old and new) and family relationships (both nurturing and difficult) brought a delightful cast of characters to life for an engaging story. I thoroughly enjoyed accompanying Riley and Hayden on their journey toward learning the meaning of home and where to find it.

I highly recommend Hooked on You to fans of inspirational fiction, and sweet contemporary romance in particular. Thanks to JustRead Publicity Tours for providing a copy of the book. I am happy to share my own personal thoughts in this review.
