Hooked on You by Kathleen Fuller

 

You might want to have your sweet tea nearby as you read Hooked on You by Kathleen Fuller, a charming southern romance.  Riley, our heroine, comes back to Maple Springs, Arkansas from New York  to help her grandmother, Erma, with her knitting shop, Knots and Tangles   Erma and her friends bring wit and wisdom to Hooked on You, and some sweet laughter.  

 Hayden Price, our hero, was the Maple Spring’s star baseball player who is now back in town working at his Dad’s hardware store and coaching the softball team.  Both Hayden and Riley  have baggage and we watch them grow, change  and transform in the story.  I found them both delightfully flawed and endearing characters. They have a vision for changing and updating their town.  Together with their friends they give the town character.  

I enjoyed my time in Maple Springs and look forward to visiting again .Kathleen Fuller has woven together an enjoyable read including themes of redemption and friendship with realistic characters in a charming small town setting.  I want to find out more about  the other characters of Maple Springs, and. I think you will too.
