Hooked on Trouble

This review was originally posted on Latte Nights Reviews. Raven had met Nico on a trip to Aspen. It was there she let herself be vulnerable and be open with a man, but Nico left and never called or texted. Raven is still holding a grudge against Nico, but he finally starts pushing, wanting her attention. And it just so happens Nico, being in the force, has the connections to help Raven find the sister that left her so many years ago. I've been wanting Nico and Raven's story for a while now and I'm super happy to finally have it. I loved that Nico was so persistent with Raven. I think it was the only way to really get her back. That woman can hold grudges like no one else. But Nico worms his way back in her life and helps her with finding her sister, Rose. Seeing Raven make mistakes, made her more real for me. In the previous book, she just seemed like a force to be reckoned with and like she could take on the world. She totally can, but seeing her be vulnerable (in her POV) and make mistakes, had me feeling for her a lot and rooting for her! She ended up with a lot of character growth towards the end, which is always a big plus for me in books. Nico is totally amazing! I was kind of hating the guy (just a tiny bit) in the previous book, but seeing things in his perspective and seeing how big of a softy this tough, big man really is, had my heart melting and wanting him to have his HEA. I also loved his family and how fun they are. The friendships were even better in this book! I loved seeing Lily in the book and seeing her get uncomfortable with the girls was very funny. She's totally the cutie of the bunch. She and Sawyer's banter was in this story and it made me miss this couple a lot! I was very happy with the way the series ended and the little confession that Shay and Kolton make towards the end. I think it fit the story perfectly and it came to a great conclusion. Overall, Hooked on Trouble is a light and fun story about hope and forgiveness. I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

My love affair with her books started when I began reading Chasing Crazy on a plane. (Which, if you've read this book, you understand why I feel the need to mention the plane...) I laughed so hard I cried and then I swooned and melted all over the place as the book went on. It only took that one book for me to be totally hooked on Kelly's writing. Since then, I've promptly devoured each book she's released and I've loved each of them in their own way. Her Over the Top series is a wonderful, fresh NA series with characters its easy to fall for and romance and friendships that are so real it almost hurts. (But in a good way.) Because of the way the story built throughout the Over the Top series, I was DYING to get my hands on Nico and Raven's story. I had to know what went down between them and why she was so against all things Nico, when he seemed pretty damn swoony from where I sat. I wasn't wrong. Everything about Hooked on Trouble was perfect to me. I loved learning more about these characters I'd seen in two previous books. It was wonderful to get to spend time in both of their heads, as this book is told from both POV. (One of my favorite things in books, especially when it's done well like it was here.) Raven and Nico's story was more than I could've hoped for — not only was it sexy as hell because oh my gods the chemistry, but it also gave me a fair few feels along the way. Also feel-inducing? Getting to catch up with Shay, Sawyer, Kolton and Lily. I just love them all so darn much! This was a brilliant ending to a series I loved from the very start and figure I'll reread a few times in the future, too. I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

It's attached to a tower of tattooed muscle, one I vowed never to acknowledge again. "If you want me, tell me something real." "There is darkness in all of us, but there is light, too. Yours still shines, Raven. How brightly is up to you." I'm hungry for her. Starving. Like nothing I've ever felt. My lips are nowhere near his, but his touch is like the first snowfall and running through puddles and falling into leaves.
