ARC received from Hachette Australia for an honest revew

I am not going to lie - this is the first book by Ms Perry that I have read (even though I have had her books on my kindle and my bookshelf for what seems like forever).

Hooker had me hooked from the first word to the last.

From the minute we meet Jade I had a sense of hope for her - but with the title of the book I also had a sense of foreboding that I should have known what was going to hit me.

It was gut-wrenching, heart-breakingly sad.

Until Brock. Can I just take a minute to swoon over Brock Weston.... OK, I am back. I don't want to give too much away about him, but you will agree with me when you read him

Jade and Brock's story is one heck of an emotional rollercoaster. Hate. Despair, Love. And most importantly... Hope.

Hope for the life Jade wants to live. Hope she can get away from the situation she has been put in. Hope the she and Brock can have a relationship. Hope for love.

This was not your ordinary romance. I felt it was so much more.

Ms Perry grabbed my attention right from the start, and I was drawn into Brock and Jade's world, dragging me along for one heck of a ride.

The story flowed, was well paced and as much as I wanted to get to the end to find out what happened, I didn't want it to end.

Like the advertisements say, "Snickers really satisfies" (you will get this when you read)

Now, I am off to grab her other books off my shelf and kick myself for taking so long to read them.
