HOOKED ON TROUBLE by Kelly Siskind (January 10, 2017; Forever Yours eBook; $3.99; Over the Top Book 3)
Reality bites. Hard.
The last time Raven did “real” was sixteen months ago, when she spent one unforgettable night with the tattooed, impossible sexy Nico, and then he disappeared the next day. Since then, she’s kept her guard up and her feelings to herself. She doesn’t have time for relationship drama when she’s busy searching for her long lost sister.
Nico hasn’t stopped thinking about Raven—her sultry curves, inked skin, or the fact that he ditched her after their night together. Now that they’re living in the same city, he knows this is his chance to make things right. What better way to prove to Raven he’s for real than helping her find her sister? But when the lines between right and wrong start to blur, putting his job on the line, Nico has to decide if the risk is worth the ultimate reward.

Excerpt
His large hand presses against my knee under the table. “Can we
talk?”
Jesus, his touch. It’s the first time I’ve felt the
weight of his palm on me since Aspen. It’s heavy. Huge. Callused. Instinctually
I shift forward, my body no longer mine to command. He doesn’t move his hand.
Just his thumb. It presses harder, dragging downward. I grip my armrests to
keep from sliding to the floor. He stares at me, waiting for my answer.
Yes. No. Maybe. I choose
silence.
The way our lives are entrenched with our friends, I’ll have to
spend time with him, and I can’t keep pretending I can block him out. Moving
here was about starting fresh, which means letting go of this grudge. But
talking about Aspen could stir up more feelings, the same way the experience
spurred my need to find Rose. If we talk about our time in the hot tub, it
could unhinge me further.
Our waiter arrives to take our order, and Nico’s thumb moves again,
a tiny brush, his skin against mine, sending a pulse between my thighs. My
sanity plummets. I shout, “Chicken,” like a lunatic as I push away from the
table.
Nico’s hand slides from my knee, but his eyes don’t waver. I feel
his gaze on my back as I hurry to the bathroom. The second I get inside, I
close the door and lean against it, thankful it’s not a public room with
several stalls. I take a few deep breaths.
How can that bit of contact turn me inside out? The smallest touch?
Memories of his other touches flip through my mind, snippets of
skin and ink, flashes of ecstasy.
My back arching.
His fingers exploring.
The curve of his inked shoulder.
His huge hands.
The sheer size of him.
We might not have had sex, and the details may be fuzzy, but
there’s no doubt it was the hottest night I’ve ever had. What isn’t fuzzy is
the time I spent with him in the hot tub prior, and how he took advantage of my
vulnerability.
Goddamn Nico. And Goddamn Aspen.

Nico knows he hurt Raven and she has every right but he will stop at nothing to win her forgiveness in the hopes she will give them another shot. The problem is getting her alone to explain his family issues since she is really is avoiding him at all costs.
When I first started this series it was funny original and kept me wanting more. Unfortunately I didn't love Hooked on Trouble as much as I thought I would. Nico and Raven had a connection but I didn't feel as if they were like the other couples in the previous books.
One thing I loved about Hooked on Trouble was that their relationship was more emotional then physical. From the beginning they both knew they had a special connection and it scares them a little both. Nico might not have started out as the favorite of the guys in this series but I loved how Ms. Siskind showed what a good man he was and yet also showed his insecurities.
I really missed the funny parts and sarcasm from the previous books, while Hooked on Trouble did have a few of those moments they were far and few in between. I found this story to be on the darker side for the simple fact that Raven and Nico both have a dark pasts that they are still dealing with in the present.
Overall, I did end up enjoying this story and am looking forward to see what Siskind will come up with next.
