Lock up the Hooker.

***4.5 Stars***

I didn’t like Hooker. I know the four and a half stars may make you think otherwise, but I spent more than half the book asking myself –

Am I missing something here?

Is this chick really this silly?

Why…why…why is she doing this? NO job is worth that much sacrifice.

Why does Nate keep going back for more?

I gritted my teeth, mumbled a few expletives and carried on, hoping and praying I’d GET IT soon.

Brooke Blaine has just convinced me that she is a master in her trade. I nearly wrote this book off and called it a day a few times, but I’m so glad I stuck with it. By the end it all made sense. The struggles Shayne lived through needed to be witnessed by us to see her epiphany, awakening…Aha, moment. While we may not agree with her sacrifices and decisions, we come to realise that she honestly thought she was doing the right thing. I went from lacking a connection and disliking Shayne to realising that we’re all a little like her at some times in our lives. A lack of confidence, hesitation and reluctance to take risks and not seeing the beauty in ourselves are all things we suffer once or twice. Was I frustrated with her (and myself) for not having more confidence? BLOODY HELL…YES!! Did I want her (me) to start hearing what her friends kept repeating over and over and over again? Yep!! Did I want her to put love ahead of everything? I’m a romance reader, so, of course, the answer is YESSSSSS!!!

Hooker led me on a path of discovery. It made me look at myself and assess how much could change in my life? Am I not taking opportunities because of the risks involved? Will love get put on a back burner because I think something else is more important? Should I start listening to the compliments I receive instead of thinking they’re feeling sorry for me? Hooker was a great example of the happiness that can be achieved when you take a bit of a risk, listen to people you trust and put your loved ones before careers.

I'm absolutely addicted to this series and I LOVE these women and the men that come into their lives. I cannot wait for P.I.T.A.
