Hooker, don’t judge the book by its name because I promise you you’ll be wrong!

First up Brooke, you are an absolute genius at hooking a reader in with your first pages, because that scene was perfection lol!

Shayne and her besties are catching the train however it’s the annual event of where everyone doesn’t wear pants on. Super strange, I’ve never heard of such a thing but trust me I was invested. Shayne is adamant not to be involved but there’s no getting out of it.

So there she is with no pants, crammed on a train going to a brunch date with her besties. Yet when a super cute guy hops on and ghwur eyes instantly connect she can’t look away. She’s a matchmaker, and doesn’t believe in love at first sight but something about this guy has her hooked.

They don’t end up meeting then and so it’s just a breeze of a moment. Until they collide once again.

Shayne is focused on her job, she doesn’t really want to date. Especially when she hooks people up for long term relationships as her job it’s hard for her to see that for herself anymore. So instead as Nate tries to push his way into her life she pushes back.

I loved the laughs and tension between the two! I also loved how great her friends were with pushing them together.

Yet things can’t be easy, when Shayne has a PR nightmare for celeb client Ace Locke, she ends up being too nice in helping the poor guy out. So much she risks losing something that has only just started with a man she never expected.

Brooke Blaine, you’re amazing at rom-coms this book was light and airy and a breeze go go through! I binged it in a day after Licked and that’s go say something!

Blurb:

Whoever said singles were missing out by not finding true love and getting married before the age of thirty had never experienced the sheer pleasure of nightly romantic comedy viewings in their underwear while eating one of Licked’s famous Crazy Cat Lady sundaes. Because life just doesn’t get better than that.

At least, it doesn’t for Shayne Callahan. It didn’t take more than a handful of broken hearts after college to solidify that she was better at pairing up those around her than herself. As a matchmaker at the elite HLS—Hook, Line, & Sinker Matchmaking Company—in the City of Angels, she has a knack for finding the other halves of even the most eccentric clients:

Sugar daddy with a foot fetish? Gross, but no problem.A severe case of nudophobia? Match made before lunch.

But even the most happily independent of women can find their best-laid plans screeching to a halt when they meet that guy. For Shayne, that guy comes in the form of boyishly handsome, suspender-lovin’, dimple-poppin’ Nate Ryan on a pantsless (we’ll get to that later) Metro ride.

Of course, relationships can never be easy. Before the destined lovers can ride off into the sunset, they must overcome a power-hungry and sexual-punning boss, a celebrity scandal and cover-up, and let’s not forget Shayne’s dreadful foot-in-mouth disease—with which there can never be a happily ever after.

Will fate throw Shayne a freakin’ bone? Or will she be destined to live out her life as sexy(ish), single(ish), and L.A.’s finest Hooker (upper)?

Hooker is Book Two in the L.A. Liaisons series, but each book can be read as a standalone novel.
