Welcome
to The Buoys, a West Coast haven where love comes in with the tide. Perfect for
readers of Jill Shalvis and Susan Mallery, the Fishing for Trouble series
features three unforgettable brothers—each of whom is a great catch.
Major league pitcher Liam O’Donnell knows his best days are probably behind him, but that doesn’t mean he’s ready to retire and become a fishing guide. Still, after all the time he’s spent chasing his dreams, he owes it to his brothers to pull his weight around the lodge. The Buoys is their father’s legacy, and they can’t let some developer take it from them. The one snag Liam isn’t counting on is a blast from the past: his ex-wife.
The moment Kate Hadley steps out of the seaplane, she knows this assignment is going to be trickier than she thought. She has to persuade the owners to sell—and one of them is Liam O’Donnell. Ten years ago, she made the biggest mistake of her life when she married Liam during a fling in Vegas. Now he’s her only lifeline in the middle of nowhere. Kate’s trying to keep things cool, but Liam just reminds her of the scorching few nights they spent together—and tempts her to make new memories that are just as steamy as the old.

They
were almost to her cabin when she shocked the hell out of him by slipping her
hand under his arm and nudging his shoulder with hers.
“You’re still
a hotshot pitcher, you know. Don’t talk about that in the past tense.”
Liam
blinked hard, then leaned in and pressed a slow kiss against her cheek. Half an
inch, that’s how close he was to those soft, warm lips he remembered all too
well, but no matter how much he ached to taste them again, he forced himself to
pull back and smile down at her.
Besides
his agent—who didn’t count, because Liam paid him to say it—Kate was the first
and only one to even suggest he might have something left, and if she’d said it
any other time or any other way, he might not have believed she was sincere.
But
looking at her now, with her foot up on the porch, ready to go inside, there
wasn’t the slightest trace of doubt in her eyes, just those damn bits of amber
flickering like little beacons.
“I, uh .
. .” Blowing out a hard breath, Liam shoved both hands through his hair, locked
his fingers together, and took a step back. “I better go. It’d really screw
things up here if we woke up married tomorrow.”
“Right.
Good thinking,” she said, her mouth curling into a slow, knowing smile. “’Cause I promise you this, I won’t be
nearly as nice the next time you divorce me.”
Off the Hook was my first story by Laura Drewry and I can tell you it won't be my last. I fell in love with her writings style and the characters in this story.
Off the Hook is a second chance romance story with a bit of sports romance too. Kate and Liam both are strong people who have a certain plan for their futures, the way their lives will go. Both have a great determination to make things work out for themselves. I enjoyed both of these characters, because they were easy to relate to.
Liam has wanted nothing more than a baseball career, but he knows that he's not in his prime, and his time for that is coming close to an end. While recovering from an injury, Liam knows he needs to do his part to help his family with the family business, not only getting things up to shape, but also keeping the property out of the hands of a developer. Liam didn't expect any complications during his time there, but he also didn't expect to see his ex-wife.
Kate wants a work promotion, but she knows the only way she will probably get it is by convincing her ex-husband and his family to sell off the family property. She doesn't want to go there again, but if she's going to get her promotion, she has to.
But as the saying goes, Expect the unexpected, and nothing ever goes as planned. The reunion between these two is dramatic, but also its easy to see that feelings are very much still present and the chemistry is flowing.
Off the Hook delivers a sometimes sweet, banterful reunion tale between two characters who thought they had their lives all figured out until they saw each other again. Laura Drewry sucks you in with hints of the past and a touch of the dramatic, but ultimately a swoony story. I look forward to seeing more from these characters in future books of the series.
