Book Review: Chase Hooper Likes It Hot by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey

This is a repost of an earlier review that has been available on GoodReads since February and prior to me starting the this blog. Chase Hooper Likes it Hot is book three in the Goose Run series and I have just reviewed book 4, which can be found here

Book Blurb

Chase Hooper doesn’t like people, apart from his housemates and his twin brother Cash. He especially doesn’t like the hot guy who stops by Goose Run Gas in the middle of every night to interrupt his nap and tell him how terrible his coffee is.

Lee Torres is a baker, and the best and worst part of his morning is when he stops at the gas station for coffee. The coffee is awful, but the guy serving it is kind of cute, even if he’s blatantly hostile. Still, something keeps Lee coming back for more, and it’s certainly not the stale pastries.

When Chase and Lee are thrown together working at Goose Run’s newest entrepreneurial venture, it’s a chance for both of them to get what they need. For Chase, it means no more night shifts. For Lee, it means running his own bakery. They can both keep it professional, right?

Wrong.

Sparks fly, and things are getting heated in the kitchen, but if Lee thinks he's going to be allowed past the protective walls that Chase has spent a lifetime building, he can think again. Because Chase Hooper doesn’t do feelings.

If they’re not careful, this could be a recipe for disaster.

Welcome to Goose Run, a small town full of quirky characters, big personalities, and unexpected romances. Just don't ask about the goose.

Book Review

Chase Hooper likes it hot is the third book in the Goose Run series by Lisa Henry and Sarah Honey. Chase Hooper and Lee Torres - a baker- butt heads regularly when Chase works the night shift at Goose Run Gas. Following a series of events Chase ends up working for Lee at the newly opened Goose Run bakery and the story follows their bumpy journey to becoming a couple. This was an incredibly moving story as Chase and his identical twin, Cash, continue to deal with the trauma of growing up with abusive parents. My heart broke for both of them, Chase in particular had trust issues, a quick temper and could be vicious. He was fiercely protective of his brother, often at the expense of his own needs. Lee was perfect for him. He was so calm and kind even when things became difficult. They were a really good couple and their story was so well written. I loved all the supporting characters, including the boys from the previous books, Lee’s Mum and his sister Sam. Even the Mayor and Lucille the goose were pitch perfect. I would definitely recommend this book. 4.8/5
