And it happened again. 
 Finished the book in three hours start to finish (Thank God I learned my lesson after reading Licked and didn't try to start it when I had things to do like work) And just like Licked absolutely loved Hooker! Shayne and Nate's story brought out all the feels from sweet and sassy to heartbreaking as well as good dose of smexyness to round it all out. 
 Shayne was that character that was truly well rounded. Business woman/matchmaker Shayne was confident. She could read a situation, no matter how crazy it may be, and figure out a way to make it worth without breaking a sweat. Then there is Shayne not in business mode and I swear she is a hot mess, but still a sweet hot mess. She's an adorbable klutz and if you were to look under the term 'verbal vomit' or as she labels it 'foot in mouth disease' her name and picture would be there, but she's got such a great heart that she'll do what needs to be done to make things go smoothly, even if it isn't what she really wants to do. 
 Nate is patience and persistence personified. He's got a good head on his shoulders and doesn't get his feathers ruffled by the little things. His persistence has a the feel of an alpha male by going after what he wants regardless of the roadblocks his prey uses to deter him, but he isn't a domineering asshat about it either. He's sweet, sexy and I think I may now have a thing for suspenders. 
 I have to admit that I was just as mortified for Shayne as she was when she and Nate first meet, but it also had me doing the goofy grin at just how geeky cute part of it was. Shayne's tendency to put her foot in her mouth rears it's ugly head is what had me laughing while cringing but thank god it didn't put Nate off wanting to get to know her. In fact I swear it made him want to get to know her more and since persistence is his middle name he didn't give up, though as with all budding romances it can't always smooth sailing and this particular bump in their road to their HEA was a heartbreaker. Remember what I said about Shayne's heart? Well, that definitely comes into play here. The situation is one of those 'you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't' ones and quite honestly my heart hurt for all involved in it because there was no true villain. But things do work out and I loved how it came to be. It was very much in keeping with who Nate and Shayne really are at the deepest parts of their souls and showed why they deserve their HEA. 
 This book, and series, is just really a fun and well written read. The various twists and turns are well thought out and resolved in such a way that has me nodding my head in agreement. Ms. Blaine knows how to keep the good, the bad and the ugly well balanced so that it never truly tips one way or the other too much and the smexy moments are always well done. And I love all the characters we've met so far, well maybe not all I ~ could have done without Val *smirks*, and how they each have such distinct personalities that jump off the page at you that you feel like you know them. 
 The Bottom Line: Another great addition to the series and I can't wait for P.I.T.A's book!!
