Love this book so much. Hooking Him is the third book in the How to catch an Alpha series and this one was such a fun read.
Anna was born wealthy and always had everything in life. She was engaged to a man she didn’t love. But everything she had was not enough for her. So she gave up everything and broke up the wedding with her fiancé and move to a small town.
Anna is a strong character. She had little confidence issues but that was normal seeing how she grew up with her awful parents.
Love Anna’s friendship with Edie and “The Golden Girls” they had me cracking up with their antics.
Calvin is a police detective and very much dedicated to his job.
Calvin is swoony. Protective and all alpha.

The storyline with the side mystery had me anxious to know and I didn’t see that coming.
This is a light read that had me laughing, swooning and with two main characters that were perfect for each other.


My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ STARS

I was apprehensive starting this book I admit. The last two offerings from the authour left me bland, whereas I am usually in love. But my worry was for naught because this was a wonderful love story with just a wee but of extraneous drama

Hooking Him as a title had me a little confused, was it in reference to rugby? Crochet? Rock climbing? Hang in there, it all becomes clear at the end of the book! Anna moves to a small town to escape the life she was led to believe she needed to live. Taken in by her geriatric neighbour and her trouble causing friends, it is not long before she meets our hero, Calvin, a detective in their town. Attraction is instant and chemistry sizzles. As expected, our alpha male lays his claim and it takes a bit for our heroine to catch up. I would have been happy with just the development of the relationship but there was a crime to solve that was loosely a mystery, I mean, I figured it out pretty quickly, and I didn’t find it added anything to the storyline, but it didn’t take away either, it was just there. Loved the sizzle, loved the support, loved the alpha-ness, and loved the happily-ever-after!

Is there any surprise here? I love ARR and have enjoyed every book in this series. These characters were cute and I had a good time reading about them falling in love.

I really enjoyed our main character, Anna. I can respect a person who is willing to leave it all behind if they aren’t happy. She was an heiress who was engaged to a man she didn’t love and had a terrible family. She realized she wasn’t happy and walked away from it all. I feel like Calvin was really good for Anna. He showed her what being loved and cared for could feel like.

Besides our main characters, we were given some very funny side characters. This neighborhood had its own version of the Golden Girls. They were so damn funny and brought humor to the story.

Overall, I enjoyed this one! I don’t know if there will be more in this series, but I sure hope so!

I always look forward to reading books by this author and I just love the way that she writes and her style always completely pulls me in. She does it again with this book, it grabs you with its romance and reading Anna and Calvin's story was fabulous and these characters are so suited its awesome. This book is a beautifully written romance story and I loved reading it and so will you its awesome.

This book is book #3 in the How To Catch An Alpha Series.
Book #1 Catching Him.
Book #2 Baiting Him.
Book #3 Hooking Him.

Anna is a really tough person and has has some challenging moments in her life and with herself and her family. She realizes that no im not having this any more and I don't need to stand for this and she does something about it. Anna just wanted to be happy and realizes that you don't need money or material things to be happy you need to feel love and happiness.

Calvin is a sexy, gorgeous man who is also very protective and takes care of the people he loves. He wasn't looking for anything and neither was Anna when these two found each other and they find something in each other that makes them feel whole. They never knew that love could be like this and never truly experienced it for real until they show each other that you can have and be loved for real.

These two are great together and from the moment they lay there eyes on each other and they have great chemistry and they have a wonderful connection to each other. They have great banter together which is lovely to see and this story will make you laugh in moments too.
This book was a great quick read and I enjoyed reading it, this author does not disappoint with her books and I love to read her work. This book has love, laughs and tender moments and moments that will keep you guessing and this book will keep you hooked. I couldn't put this book down.
I always love books that have epilogues too as I feel like they always add something extra special to the story and this epilogue was beautiful. I recommend that everyone reads this book when it gets released.

Thank you to the author and the publishers for allowing me to read an early copy of this book.

I am thoroughly taken with this book, I loved all the books in the series but this one just stuck with me and I really connected with the charecters, I am not sure if Aurora is going to write more on this series but I would love to read more on all these people. I found this book a dream to read easy to follow and I love all the twists, turns, humor and the sweet romantic moments.

Anna has a Beautiful story of self discovery and remaking her life in the way she has always really wanted it to be. Anna just wants what everyone wants and that is just to be happy, happy with herself and happy with her life. Calvin is the hot detective who is all about his work, women aren't on his rader anymore after being burned by love before. Calvin is an absolute alpha and Anna has no problem throwing attitude, life just got crazy interesting.

I would absolutely recommend this book and author to anyone who loves an epic love that is beautifulin the making. I honestly hope you love it as much as I have. Happy Reading ♡

Another Great ARR story! I love her writing and this novel is no exception. Calvin is an alpha, but not a super billionaire businessman, he is a detective which is even hotter! Anna is a sweetheart and although her parents don't raise her lovingly, she turns out that way anyways. They butt heads upon meeting, but slowly find their way. A dash of mystery with a few plot points and a fantastic HEA!

Anna & Calvin are GREAT!! I love their story! She's funny & sweet & just searching for her own key to happiness. She finds it in a little southern beach town, a bakery, friends, and LOVE. Calvin starts out a bit prickly, but his true colors shine through. He's affectionate, swoony, protective... All the things we love in an ARR hero! And of course we have Bane, the awesome doggy companion, Edie & the Golden Girls causing a bit of mayhem, Gus & Chrissie encouraging our current couple's HEA, and a mystery.

Super fun, quick read w/ just the right amount of steam as well! 10+ stars!! : )
