He always plays by the rules... until almost losing the woman he can't live without changes the game.  After years of searching for the dom of her dreams, legal secretary Olivia Wright has all but given up on finding him. With a past full of heartbreak and intermittent dry spells, she is nearly resigned to the life of loneliness that seems to be her fate. She can't even garner the attention of her incredibly handsome boss, although she's certainly tried. Spending eight hours a day in her tightest skirts hasn't tempted the hotshot attorney at all. If anything, it has discouraged Olivia enough to try and move on. When she procures an invitation to Club Decadence, the most exclusive kink club in the state, it seems her luck might finally be changing. Dapper, dynamic, and disciplined, Joseph Hooks is not your average attorney. He's shamelessly smart, effortlessly powerful, and a stickler for following the rules. Intimidating his opponents in the courtroom comes as naturally as wielding his authority over the submissives he's drawn to in his private life. Although no matter who he's dominating, he never loses control. Until he spots his strictly vanilla secretary taking part in a new member recruitment event at his club. It's hard enough for Joseph to ignore Olivia and her divine derriere at work, watching her with another dom would be impossible to bear. Despite his attempts to exercise caution, work and play finally collide. The mutual desire smoldering between him and Olivia for three long years must finally be dealt with. Giving into temptation will change everything, but Joseph is hopelessly enamored. When he claims her, no matter the obstacles they must hurdle, he's not letting her off his hook.

I was the bad boy that girls like her were attracted to... The new Assistant U.S. Attorney was the last person I needed in my business... or my bar. The way she walked in wearing a tight suit and red power heels, flashing that badge should be illegal. Asking her for help was a mistake. Wanting her was a complication, one that I couldn't afford. We were from two different worlds. Taylor was spoiled, privileged and in way over her head. I was just the bad boy that girls like her were attracted to, a passing phase. An itch to scratch. I was no good for her and never would be. Hooked on You was previously titled Easy Moves, and is the prequel to the Annapolis Harbor Series.

There is no other way to describe me. I am the leading scorer for the Bellevue Bullies, I’m the captain, and people love me: my family, my teammates, my coach, and the NHL. This is my last year in college–I already have one foot in the draft. Hockey keeps me warm even when it’s freezing. It’s always there when nothing else is. And it pushes me to be the best I can be. It’s my one and only love. That is, until I see her against a tree with a guitar. Avery. The last thing I wanted was to meet anyone. My heart is on the bench because of what happened with my parents, and I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want to be hurt by anyone. I can’t give them that power. But my heart is begging for ice time, and I can’t control it around her. I’ve always been in the background. No one has ever had time for me and that’s fine; I’ve learned to cope. Coming from a family where hockey is life, the last thing I want is some big, burly hockey player charging at me. I don’t have time for it, but Jace Sinclair isn’t one to be deked around. I didn’t want to meet anyone. I didn’t want to end up freezing the puck with him. It’s not what I want. I have demons. I have issues. Living in the shadows, no one even knew until it was too late. But Jace wants to know. He wants me. And that scares me the living hell out of me. We were so worried about what would happen if we fell, but we never thought what could happen in the process of falling. We never saw it coming. But it’s here, and the repercussions are not pretty. We should have known that there is no way out of the zone when you are being Hooked by Love. **

Nat Idle, a San Francisco writer with a medical degree, narrowly survives an explosion in an Internet café after a stranger hands him a note warning him to exit immediately.The handwriting on the note belongs to his deceased girlfriend, a Silicon Valley venture capitalist whom he has obsessively been mourning. So begins HOOKED, a pop thriller for the Internet Age, written with the force of an adrenaline rush and the pace of an intimate email dispatch you can't stop reading. Each chapter of this novel will keep readers hooked as Nat Idle searches for the love of his life in the midst of manipulation and conspiracy.From Publishers WeeklyThis oddly flat thriller from first-time novelist Richtel opens with a warning in a dead girlfriend's handwriting, followed by an explosion in a San Francisco cafe. Nat Idle, who barely escapes, is perplexed by the note: his girlfriend Annie--from a very wealthy family involved in various opaque concerns--was swept off her sailboat four years ago and never seen again. Nat tracks down survivors of the blast, including waitress Erin Coultran, whose actions make Nat suspicious; when the home of aspiring novelist Simon Anderson, another survivor, catches on fire, Nat's suspicions intensify. Nat's investigations take him to Strawberry Labs, Annie's family company possibly named after Annie's childhood Labrador retriever. Despite intentionally short chapters à la The Da Vinci Code, Richtel (who writes the comic strip Rudy Park under nom de plume Theron Heir) has trouble bringing Nat to life or tension to the plot--in part because of Nat's first-person flashbacks to his relationship with Annie. Richtel's trying to do a brainy update of classic noir, but falls slightly short.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From BooklistNat Idle is a romantic. After finishing medical school, he abandons further training to become a freelance journalist; and he falls in love with Annie Kindle as soon as he hears her laugh. She is taken with his romanticism, even though her father, the alpha shark in Silicon Valley's venture capital sea, is grooming her to become his "smiling assassin." But Annie is lost in a sailing mishap, and four years later, Nat is still infatuated, still mourning. So, when a pretty woman leaves him a note in an Internet cafe, he follows her out the door--and escapes a lethal bomb blast. The note was written in Annie's distinctive hand. The scientist in Nat won't believe that Annie is still alive, but he begins to investigate the blast and finds himself immersed in Silicon Valley intrigue. Fully two-thirds of Hooked is a shrewd cinematic thriller, filled with knowing insights about San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the wired-wireless world. But Richtel, a reporter for the New York Times, stumbles a bit as the story unfolds into an uberplot to turn us all into Internet addicts. Still, many readers will happily suspend disbelief and simply enjoy the yarn. Thomas GaughanCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
