Hooked is a standalone Stepbrother Sports Romance. As a debut novel, Iris Parker did a pretty good job.

Hooked is exactly what the title is about. Simon is a British Rugby player who came back to US to make amends with his stepsister. Because when they were just teenagers, Simon was an angry kid that decided to take all his anger out on his stepsister. He lashed out and made Emilia’s life a living hell. For two years Emilia had to put up with his crazy ways, until Simon moved out….Years later when Simon finally grew up to be a decent guy and after keeping tabs on what’s going on in Emilia’s life, he decided to help out the gym that Emilia loved and worked at. Emilia wasn’t open to Simon at all, but when she realized how much Simon had changed… she started to let him in. It didn’t take long for them to spend time together and turned their friendship into something more. But will Emilia really get over their past and give what they have going a try? Read and find out.



This was a simple Stepbrother romance, that will either hook a reader or leave them confused. As much as I enjoyed the way Simon and Emilia got together, I was left a little confused with the Simon’s diary entries that I wasn’t even sure was a diary entry at first. It took me a little while to figure one what the diary entries were about, because they weren’t added in date order. I did however enjoy the sweet man that Simon had become and how much he cared for Emilia. Emilia was a forgiving woman and these two just belonged together, how matter what anybody say. If you love stepbrother romance this could be your book.

When I started Ryker, I didn’t expect much from it and out of all the guys Zack was my favorite, but after reading Ryker I’m not so sure anymore. Zack and Ryker are best buds and it’s really hard to pick which one is best. What I do love most about Ryker is he never plays, when he cares for someone he gives that person his all plus more. When his attraction for his new General Manager Gray Brannon can no longer be ignored, he acted on it and made it clear to her that he doesn’t do flings, that what was about to happen with them will be so much more. As Ryker and Gray’s new relationship starts, they are forced to keep it a secret. Gray being the new General Manager, it doesn’t look good for her to be in a relationship with one of the hockey players. Ryker never cared for secrets, he wanted to let everyone know who Gray belonged to..but for Gray he kept what they had a secret. Their relationship was hot and sexy behind closed doors, but in front of everyone they were just friends. Then there’s Ryker’s cheating ex-wife trying to make advances on him and threatening their relationship. How much can they take before they give up on the love they could have?



This was a real treat to read from the beginning to end. Ryker stayed real throughout the whole book, he was the man of his words and his heart. Also a great father to his daughters that adored him. This was a really sexy and sweet read and I enjoyed every page of it. Love it.
