Personal assistant Katie Edwards refuses to work any longer for a boss who continues to grope her every chance he gets. She decides that the best cure for what ails her is a short holiday to think about what she really wants in her life. A quick phone call from her best friend about a job results in a job offer she is hesitant to take.

Liam Kennedy writes articles for a sports magazine and needs a personal assistant who can travel with him on assignments. When he meets Katie he's not sure if his office manager has hired the right gal for the job...after all Katie enjoys shopping, the night-life, and hates sports! How could she enjoy romps around the countryside for weeks on end? While Katie quickly goes from lust to love, she is determined to be a good personal assistant. Can Katie remain as cool and professional as Liam can? Can Liam change Katie's feelings about sports?

Hooked On You by Anne Whitfield is a contemporary romance that had me hooked from the first chapter. Once I started reading, I couldn't stop. Mrs. Whitfield writes Katie and Liam in such a way that I can relate to what they are thinking and feeling. Katie is determined to keep her lust-filled thoughts from her boss and, like many typical men, Liam seems blissfully unaware. The way Katie is often tongue tied in Liam's presence reminds me of how first love feels and I laughed at Katie's sporting escapades. This is the first book I have read by Mrs. Whitfield but it will definitely not be my last. I found Mrs. Whitfield's style of writing to be a refreshing change from the more erotic romances I have read. I would recommend this book to all romance readers.
