Hook, Line & Sinker: #Love Wins

By: Ana Byrde

Narrated by: John Solo

New Year's resolution: Get V-Card stamped

Wesley Moore is a walking wet dream. Literally. He's on the school's swim team - and absolutely gorgeous in Speedos. He also has a reputation. I figured he'd be perfect to pop my cherry with no strings attached. One night. That was all I wanted.

How was I supposed to know that he's made a bet with his roommate to fix his reputation?

How was I supposed to know he wants romance now?

I'm not looking for a boyfriend. My crazy family would never accept Wes...or any other boy I brought home.

I need to get him to sleep with me before I fall for him, and there's only one way to do it. Lace. I've got a whole box full of secret weapons, and I'm not afraid to use them.

Hook, Line & Sinker is a 68,000-word stand-alone m/m romance with little angst and lots of laughter, featuring a nerd and a jock, too many pies, awkward attempts at being cool, insane relatives, and two boys who make it work in spite of everything. Buy now if you need a laugh!

Catching Mr. Right

Hook, Line, and Sinker is the second book in the #LoveWins series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. Like the first book in the series, this book was full of humor, sassiness, and tenderness – all of this mixed together so well to create a wonderful romance that had me laughing and smiling the entire time. The chemistry between Oliver and Wesley was electric, and it definitely added to the humor of book. The audiobook was narrated by John Solo who does a fabulous job. John performs the book with just the right amount of energy and drama to bring it alive without overdoing it. All in all, this was a fun book that left a smile on my face.

An Amusing Opposites-Attract College Romance

I enjoyed this amusing, fairly breezy, and sometimes OTT opposites-attract love story. College students Oliver and Wes want to use each other - Oliver to lose his virginity and Wes to win a bet proving he can last a month dating without hooking up - only to find themselves wanting each other, period. Oliver is a ball of anxiety much of the time, largely due to his being closeted to his family, and despite a player reputation Wes is quite thoughtful, supportive and loving toward Oliver as their relationship develops and deepens.

This audio book is an easy listen and narrator John Solo delivers an engaging performance that conveys the humor and sweetness of this story, particularly in the small, quiet moments between Oliver and Wes.

extraordinarily humorous

I read this and fell in love, then I listened to it and totally lost my heart and soul! OMG! I'm totally dead and my sides are aching from laughing so much. Full on belly laughs, snorts, and tears in my eyes. I haven't laughed so much since "Fake the Date." Aunt Rosie delivers again in this fun fest. Lol. Oliver's mom and the pies, best of all shared with prejudiced dad. Love a supportive mama bear. There is never a dull moment and the laughs never stop!! This left me with an overwhelming feeling of joy, and I highly recommend it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. John does a brilliant job of bringing the characters and storyline to life. Amazing!!

Charming

What a great wonderful adventure. This story has everything from hot sexy guys to just wanting to get that v card stamped. The characters Wesley and Oliver are perfect and intriguing and they complete each other. John did a amazing job bring love and laughter to these characters they each have there own perfect personality and the voices compliment each one. Amazing adventure.

a perfect book to listen to.

I absolutely loved this book, I could not stop laughing, Oliver and Wesley make an adorable couple. i did not want to stop listening and I had to work. John Solo did an amazing job with the performance and Ana delivered another amazing story.

Cute sweet story

I enjoyed this book. There were a few lol moments which I like in a book. I liked Ollie but I loved Wes!

sweet.

It's review time 🎧
Warning ⚠️: mm romance, comedy, virgin, sweetness overloaded, second book in a series, standalone.

Narrator score🎧 ; John is a wonderful narrator i loved his work and it was very good as always.

Level of steam🔥: well, it was a slow burn , a funny one and I totally loved it.

Level of anxiety and sadness0😱😢: the book wasn't sad, yeah you had that not so bright father in the story. But that's that. The story was sweet, funny, and adorable.

The book itself📖: its a second book in a series, it is a full on standalone so don't worry if you hadn't listen to the first book, (thought the first book is as good as that one)
I loved the characters in that one, they were easy going as was the story. And I love the aunt she is sweetly creepy and endearing.
I just loved everything about the book.

Woke My Husband Up Laughing (so good)

Fake the Date was so much fun, but I am in love with Wes and Oliver. It gave me how to lose a guy in 10 days vibes, but SO much better! I made the mistake of starting this while I was trying to fall asleep. Brakes to say I got no sleep and actually woke my husband up because I couldn’t laugh quiet enough.

The opposing motives make for hilarious times and I could not stop laughing. There was a great balance of emotion and humor with just enough heat. Definitely need to check it out if for no other reason than John Solo being amazing!

Fish in the Water

Oliver is a fish out of water but as they move through the story he finally finds the water he needs to move forward with his life. It is sad but realistic that sometimes family won't accept your truth but it is also true that there are others there to fill in those gaps. Wesley is on his growth journey that almost makes them at cross purposes at first but it all gets turned around the right way. This story has some drama but is also full of lots of fun moments.

I really enjoyed the the audio version of this story.

Sweet

This was a short & sweet low angst story. I was glad the reveal and subsequent communication happened fairly early on. I hate lies and deception. The coupling in grandmas house was a strange choice to say the least. But overall this was a sweet feel good story with some laugh out loud moments.
