What a great romantic read.  I loved the characters, and being a Canadian - absolutely loved that it was based out in Nova Scotia.  The small town feel was something that I believe we are all missing in our busy lives.  I loved this book and it is a definite 5 Star Read.

Steamy, funny, outrageous (in a good way) cast of characters. Great story!
This was such an amusing story of an almost-innocent woman and the not-so-innocent man finding compatibility. Kira Palmer, 27yo absent-minded academic, mathematician has come to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia all the way from Victoria, British Columbia in order to settle her Gram’s estate. She’s not prepared for the weather, the quirkiness of the people and her guilt in not seeing her Gram for so long. She’s not prepared for most especially the HOT Fisherman who saves her from an angry runaway horse on her first day! This was one wonderful meet-cute. Her internal dialogue is hilarious. 
Nate Montgomery-Lancaster (he’s dropped the Lancaster part) saves this adorable young woman from Eddie the horse whose antics keep his owner on his toes, if not all out running. He appears to be a fisherman b/c he likes to get his hands dirty by working along side people who work for him. In actuality he is the CEO of Hooked, a multi-million-dollar seafood company. He is attracted to Kira as much as she is to him, but there are complications. Oh. My. Word. When they meet again later where she is planning on staying, well, this is just one of those remarkable moments written by Ms. Fox and there are many! Will secrets injure this relationship? Will this no-strings “thing” they have remain that way? Loved getting these questions answered!
There is camaraderie, humor, some angst, lots of steam and miscommunication. There were times that I literally laughed out loud, something I don’t do often. The township is another “character” of many in this book with whom you will fall in love. I volunteered to review an ARC through Entangled/NetGalley and I heartily recommend this book.

I found that i enjoyed Hooked on You.
Set in Nova Scotia (we need more books set in Nova Scotia). 
Kira is there when she meet Hot Fisherman, Nate. 
She's average, logical, a little, ok, a lot nerdy with no game. 
Nate has plenty of game and charm. 

But what makes this book work is the supporting cast of characters and they are true characters and the oddball animals. There's trouble brewing and plenty of high jinks.

Cathryn Fox is a new-to-me author, and I’m always willing to try books by authors I’ve never read because I’ve found so many amazing gems that way. I still have list of top favorites, but branching out is never a bad thing. And the blurb really interested me here. So I dove into Hooked on You and hoped for the best.

I got so much better than what I’d hoped for! Turns out, this book has a great mix of emotional, yet quirky. Those descriptors apply to the characters and a lot of the situations Kira finds herself in.

NICUnurse’s Rating: Hooked on You is a wonderful mix of an emotional tale told from both the hero and heroine’s point of view and some quirky and hilarious moments to keep the story flowing. You’ll fall in love with Kira and with Nate, but you’ll also fall in love with this small town. It’s most likely unlike any small town you’ve ever read about. And the townsfolk are quirky, unique, yet lovable and loving people. During a time when we all really need a heartwarming story, Hooked on You delivers heartwarming comedy in spades. 

I give Hooked on You by Cathryn Fox 5 out of 5 stars!

Hooked on You by Cathryn Fox is the story of Nate and Kira.
Kira has come to Nova Scotia to settle her grandmother's B&B.  Kira finds that it is overtaken with fishermen who do different things to keep the B&B going.  Along with that surprise she finds a man named Nate there who she thinks is a fisherman too.  But he has a backstory that has him in town for more than the fishing.  Kira and Nate are immediately drawn to each other and only grows stronger the more time they are together. Kira and Nate are so different but, they seem to fit together perfectly. 
I enjoyed the secondary characters so much too, which is always a bonus.

A humorous story with great characters both human and animals. Khloe is back in her grandmother’s small Canadian town when she is rescued by a very hot fisherman after she is almost run over by a runaway horse. Thus starts her fall into what she considers the twilight zone. Nate is not actually a fisherman, which leads to issues later. There is a blind cow in love with Nate, a B & B operating on an honor system and many more delightful things happening in this town that will make you laugh in delight. Nate and Khloe go into a relationship with their eyes open but both of them lacking all the facts. They spend time burning up the sheets and falling in love before realizing there is no turning back. The characters are really great and leave a lasting impression.

3.5 stars

Hooked on You is a fun book with an entertaining cast of characters!

Kira and Nate both find an unexpected family in the group of people living in the bed and breakfast her grandmother owned. She is in town because her grandmother passed away and she is supposed to sell the B&B. There she meets Nate and thinks he's a local fisherman. However, he's the CEO of the company Hooked.

The attraction between them is immediate and quickly grows stronger as they spend time together. Neither had the greatest family growing up, so it was sweet to see them so supportive of each other. I hope there are more books to come!

Small town romances are a favorite of mine. Especially one that has you loving the characters and wanting to be part of their lives. This is a sweet story that didn’t really suck me. It did have some cute and funny moments mixed with romance that many will surely love.  While it may not have been for me, I do encourage others to give it a read as it may be the perfect getaway. I will be checking out other stories by this author.

This book gave me all the east coast feels. It was sweet and quirky with just the right amount of steam!✨

Keira has returned to Lunenburg to sell her grandmothers B&B. What she doesn’t expect is for it to be filled with fisherman and running itself. She also doesn’t expect to be knocked over by a handsome fisherman. But what she comes to learn is he isn’t a fisherman and perhaps his intentions aren’t as pure as she thought.✨
.
This was a cute story. Keira is a bit lost. Struggling with insecurities and grief. Nate is there to do a job and the last thing he expected was to find such a deep connection with Keira. The two have chemistry you can feel from the very beginning and when it finally ignites, it is quite steamy. That Nate I enjoyed. He is sweet, chivalrous, sexy and quite the dirty talker.✨
.
In fact many of the supporting characters had quite the dirty humour. But in the funniest of ways. The additional characters really brought this story to life. Especially Sam, what a hoot he was. He definitely needs his own story. While I did feel this story was a little predictable, I really enjoyed the coastal small town feel. Horses running loose and blind cow crushes didn’t hurt either. Check it out if you enjoy a humorous, sweet and sexy romance.✨

Thank you to the author, @GrandCentralPub, @ReadForeverPub and @netgalley for this complimentary ARC for my honest review.✨

This is the first book by this author for me. I did like that Sam and Jason. Sam was super fun and made me want to get to know him more. I can honestly say I don't think I have ever read a book based in Canada and it made me want to go to this small town and get to see it. This book is told in the first person, the author does list who is talking so that does help. Over all I was not a huge fan of this book I found the book completely predictable and it just really was not for me. This book also has a ton of strong language and sex throughout, so it may not suitable for all.

Family isn't always who you're born into, but who you choose to be with. Nate isn't fond of his family, in fact he actively avoids them. He's looking to change the way they do business and take the company to the next level. Kira is looking for closure and to finish work on her theorem. Coming back to where she was happiest to say goodbye to her Gram takes some unexpected turns, starting with a run away horse.

It was an okay read. Kira is suppose to sell her grandmothers B&B however she's not sure she wants to and Nate is trying to buy her grandmothers art studio they don't know each others professions and its causes tension. **************I received an ARC for my honest opinion.************

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed many aspects of this story. I absolutely love this town and all of the characters that live there! I want to learn more about them and hear their stories too! I liked Nate and Kira and their love for each other and the town. I struggled a bit with the level of extreme instalust at the beginning, as well as their lack of communication. However, I at least understood why they were hiding things from each other, so I didn't totally dislike the trope like I often do.

I would recommend this book to people who enjoy small town romances and mistaken identities.

Hooked on You by Cathryn Fox is the story of bookish mathematician Kira who comes to a small fishing town in Nova Scotia to sell her late grandmother's B&B. What she doesn't expect is that in the year since her grandmother passed that the B&B has continued to run on the honor system among fisherman who come into to work for the different seasons. Kira is nearly taken out her first day and is saved by a man she assumes is a fisherman, Nate. Kira and Nate feel instantly connected but are both in the small town for different reasons and have no intention of staying. But as they get even closer and the town embraces them both will they be able to walk away? 

Kira is a smart girl who deserves to be loved and appreciated as the caring person she is. She enters into a physical relationship with Nate but it almost immediately is more than that, although neither wants to believe it. She continuously puts herself down which is a bummer because she is a kindhearted person who accidentally gets engulfed by a fishing family. 

Nate is a frustrating character to say the least. He so regularly puts himself down saying he isn't good enough for Kira and chooses to hide so many important things about himself rather than give her the chance to prove herself. 

I struggled with this story on a lot of fronts. I didn't feel connected to the main characters and more appreciated the interactions with the other fishermen and the towns people. The intimate moments were not my speed and I struggled to feel a real connection between the main characters. The story felt as though it dragged in some places and was completely rushed in others.

Sweet, steamy and satisfying:
Charming, funny and entertaining; small town romance at its best! I loved getting to know all of the B&B and town residents and how everyone banded together to help Kira and honour Grams.
Nate and Kira are so cute together, however they have convinced themselves that they could never have that kind of a future and they are also keeping secrets from one another. It was fun seeing them grow close and watching their hearts and reservations melt. I was so happy when they finally overcome the obstacles and embraced the possibilities before them.
I'd love to return to this quaint Nova Scotia fishing village as there are some delightful characters that it'd be fun to get to know more.  
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

This was a quirky, enjoyable small town romance that was full of interesting and zany characters who regularly use lobster as currency and whose knees can forecast storms, not to mention runaway horses and blind cows with crushes; and I was engaged throughout.

And with little angst, a sweet and absorbing romance and plenty of charm, this really was a delightful and whimsical story. That I would recommend to others, especially if you're looking for something light, easy, and comforting to read.

I received a free copy of Hooked on You in exchange for an honest review.  This was a quick and fun read.  What I liked most was the author's humor which was prevalent throughout the book.

The plot was intriguing, and I really enjoyed the small town atmosphere, and I'm always a sucker with a good grandma nexus.  The open bed and breakfast open concept was a little much, and how Kira didn't figure out Nate was the top dog in town was beyond me.  

Overall, this was a good read and I'd recommend his author to friends and family.

Tropetastic that was maybe a bit too much. 

Forced proximity, fish out of water, mistaken identity, and found family are all at play here. Normally I love a good trope-smorgasbord but this time it just felt like too much and not enough at the same time.   

The characters were all likable and the romance had some nice chemistry and steam but it just moved too slow for me.  However, I did appreciate that the while the mistaken identity part was drawn out the anger over it was not over the top.  And I liked that Kira was a mathematician and was unapologetic about needing to continue her work. 

If this becomes a series I think I’d definitely check back in for Sam’s story and what I hope would be Izzy and Heather’s story. 

I received a complimentary review copy of this book but all opinions are my own.

I liked the concept of this book. 

Kira is back in Nova Scotia to sell her Grandmothers BnB. She has no intentions of staying until she finds herself loving this small friendly town, that includes a runaway horse, a blind and lovesick cow, also inheriting a new adopted family. 

I found the book quiet repetitive if I'm honest, we know she's a mathematician who suffers from extreme low self esteem as a result. She continues to put herself down throughout the book which actually annoyed me. She dismisses Nate whenever he tries to explain to her what his job really is, just so she won't have to discuss her own job.

On the other hand this book is sweet and an easy read. There are a lot of areas that were unbelievable and farfetched however it was really sweet overall. I loved the relationship with her "roommates" aka her new family who have been running the BnB on an honour system. They are so funny, I absolutely loved Sam. 

Overall I enjoyed but but I won't be re reading

Hooked on You had all the elements I look for when selecting a book but sadly  failed to deliver  for me. There were elements that were funny and cute but overall I thought the main characters lacked a spark or connection.  
It kept me entertained but was hoping for more.
