Book info:

Title:  Rooke  
Author:  Callie Hart
Genre:  Romance
Release Date:  February 21st, 2017


Watchmaker. Car thief. Heartbreaker extraordinaire.

Rooke Blackheath has spent enough time in juvie to know that he really doesn’t want to go to jail. The food sucks, the clothes itch, and there are absolutely no women in sight. Well…none he wants to fuck, anyway.

He should probably stop boosting cars, but the money is stellar and the high is out of this world. And why should he turn his back on something that sets his soul on fire anyway?

The answer to that question comes in an unexpected form: a petite five-foot-three firecracker named Sorcha, who refuses to give him the time of day no matter how thick he lays on the charm.

Rooke’s not easily deterred, though. Just like the watches he builds from scratch, Rooke knows all too well how women tick. Women are a game to him. A game he always wins.

Sorcha doesn’t stand a chance.

***

Sorcha Connor’s life has been permanently derailed since her son died five years ago. You wouldn’t know it to look at her, of course. She has a great job, a beautiful house, and caring friends. Every week, she hosts a book club featuring the sexiest, most romantic stories on the planet, and every week she falls for a new fictional knight in shining armor.

Fictional men are perfect, though. They don’t hurt you. They don’t break your heart. They don’t cheat on you after your child dies, and they rarely ever leave the toilet seat up.

When Rooke Blackheath shows up at Sorcha’s workplace, it’s clear he’s nothing like the men who grace the pages of Sorcha's favorite books. Dangerous, arrogant, sharp-tongued and sarcastic, Rooke’s not the kind of guy she needs in her life. Not to mention the fact that he’s eleven years her junior.

They don’t live in different worlds. As far as Sorcha is concerned, Rooke lives in a different galaxy altogether. She’d like to keep it that way, but fate appears to have other plans.

When Cinderella lost her shoe, Prince Charming showed up at her door.

When Sorcha Connor loses her book, an entirely different kind of rogue comes a-knocking

My rating:  4 stars

I just recently found this author, but I found him first as a cover model.  I'd been following him on Facebook for awhile, and when the opportunity came up to read his book, I definitely volunteered.  And I have to say I was not disappointed in the least!  As far as I know, I've only read romances by women authors before.  There were a few things that kind of stood out as a man having written this, but not in any way that made the story bad. 

There are two main characters that we get the story from, Judy and Garrett.  The start of the story we see the "meet-cute" between the two.  It's at a masquerade ball and while the two have a really nice dance and time, Garrett soon leaves, and goes on with his life.  The two of them didn't really know who the other was at the time.  But when Judy's town is trying to save itself by building a stadium, they call Garrett in to try to finance their plan to save the town.  Garrett is sure from the very start that there is no way he can help this town.  It isn't until Judy shows up, and he sees something about her, that he decides he will give her the chance to convince him, especially when she immediately pegs him as a conceited jerk.  Garrett's life is already pretty full, with many reasons for him to be pretty conceited.  He's been a champion football player, he's a billionaire, and all of this before the age of 30.  He does have a young daughter though, and she comes first. 

The three days that Judy has to convince him seem to go pretty well, until at the end the town refuses to accept the terms he puts out in order for him to help.  And when that happens, someone else swoops in to "help" the town. But really, they don't plan to help, they plan to let the town sink, and he intends to make it so that it seems it is all Garrett's fault in the end. 

Garrett will have to decide just how much Judy means to him, and if he is able to save the town and still reach his goals before the age of 30.  Judy will have to figure out how to deal with what is in Garrett's life, and what his being back has changed in her life. 

This second chance romance was a good one.  There were definitely some very hot and sexy scenes.  I really enjoyed this book, and look forward to reading more.
