{"product_id":"2940045665537","title":"Hooked On You","description":"\u003cp\u003eHi, I’m Katie Edwards, 28 and single and living the life, that is until a few incidents occur which changes things. You’ll love Hooked On You and reading about my little adventure in finding true love and all that.\u003cbr\u003eAfter leaving a leech of a boss, who enjoyed putting the personal in personal assistant, my best friend in the whole world, Joanna, tells me of a job vacancy as a PA at a sports magazine.\u003cbr\u003eAnyway, after a night out on the town, getting thoroughly smashed, I wake up the next morning still wearing my office clothes from the previous day and suffering a hangover of gigantic proportions. The phone rings. I’ve somehow managed to get the new job.\u003cbr\u003eHoo-freaking-ray!\u003cbr\u003eWell, I’d have celebrated if the drum in my head stopped pounding.\u003cbr\u003eNow I work for a Mr Liam Kennedy, a sports freak, and I don’t even like sports. I don’t go to the gym, I don’t go on skiing holidays and the only time I run is when I’m chasing a bus, even then I soon stop and wave for a taxi. My job is to make his life smoother as he travels around trying out new sports equipment, interviewing celebrity athletes, reporting new sport crazes, etc.\u003cbr\u003eAt the moment, Mr Kennedy is in Cumbria, Northern England. I arrive at the hotel and have a fortifying drink in the bar while I wait to meet my new boss. Only, when I do, well, what can I say, he’s simply sex on wheels, the kind that model for men’s clothing in catalogues.\u003cbr\u003eMr Kennedy, Liam, is totally drool-worthy and as we have dinner I find that I’m mesmerised and alarmed by my attraction to him. How could I work in a professional manner when all I want to do is hop into his bed? Difficult dilemma, I grant you.\u003cbr\u003eBy the end of the week, and let me tell you what a week it was, after fishing, we went mountain hiking and then horse riding, and I was sure Liam was either trying to kill me or enter me in the next Olympic games. Anyway, I realised lust has turned into love. Brilliant.\u003cbr\u003eEver been in love with your boss?\u003cbr\u003eIt stinks. Don’t do it, ever!\u003cbr\u003eWhen Liam travels to Cornwall to see his sick grandmother, I’m told to return home and wait for Liam to contact me. For a whole week I’m in my tiny flat near Kensington miserable and in a quandary. Should I keep working for Liam and hope my feelings will go away, or do I quit and forget him?\u003cbr\u003eLiam calls the following morning, while Joanna and I are having a heart to heart talk. I’m thinking I need to quit working for Liam before I make a fool out of myself. He asks me to come to Cornwall and we’ll work from there while his Gran is sick. Should I go or should I stay?\u003cbr\u003eI go.\u003cbr\u003eCornwall is lovely, Liam’s Mum is lovely, everything is lovely, but I’m sick with despair, as I know Liam is ‘the one’ for me. After a day together working and then swimming at the beach, I decide it’s all too much and I can’t work for Liam feeling as I do. I plan to leave the next day, but over dinner Liam tells me of his plans for his future after he leaves the magazine. I’m shattered to think of Liam marrying and building a home with someone else. He asks what’s wrong and bravely I tell him that I have feelings for him.\u003cbr\u003eThankfully he doesn’t laugh. In fact, he hints that he has similar feelings too. How wonderful is that?\u003cbr\u003eWe go for a walk and talk, kiss and talk some more. After being single for so long, I’ve found that my old life was becoming rather tedious and a little stale and that perhaps…just perhaps, it was time for me to settle down and begin a new chapter in my life. A chapter that included the dashingly handsome Liam Kennedy, who kisses like a love god and sets my heart racing and my body clamouring for his touch. I think I could cope with waking up to Liam lying beside me every morning.\u003cbr\u003eWouldn’t you?\u003cbr\u003eKisses, Katie. xx\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annemarie Brear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078235668720,"sku":"2940045665537","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940045665537_p0.jpg?v=1763979209","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940045665537","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
