Hypnotist Savannah Sinclair is known for helping clients overcome their deep-rooted issues, from anxiety to addiction. But her nontraditional approach also attracts plenty of skeptics—including her high school nemesis and rival, Mason Beckett, who just so happens to be the boy who broke her heart.
Mason’s life hasn’t gone according to plan. His latest novel was a flop, and the only gig he can land is writing a scathing exposé of his hometown hypnotist, Savannah. But in order to write an authentic article, he has to be a willing participant. Hypnosis is the last thing he he’s shedding his negative nature and opening himself up to new experiences…and when a fire alarm interrupts their session, Mason walks out into the real world entranced and sporting a sunny disposition and a tendency to say yes.
Hypnotized Mason is fearless, revealing things he’s never told a soul, acting completely out of character, and leading Savannah on a frantic chase to keep him safe. He likes his new self. The problem is, so does Savannah. She can’t fall in love with a man who’s in a trance, but can she keep him still long enough to get him to snap out of it?
My Review
This was such a fun story to read. Savannah was relatable and felt like someone I would want to be friends with. Old hurts are hard to get over and I definitely related to that. It was interesting learning more about hypnosis. I didn’t know much about it before reading this story.
I liked this quote when she was talking about expectations people have.
“Where do my defensive walls come from with regard to my job? A lot of places, probably. I know that part of it is from getting labeled in school. That when they say you’re ‘gifted and talented,’ there’s these expectations of the kind of life you’ll lead, the sort of job you’ll have. That if you’re not out in the world curing cancer, then you’re just wasting your life, even if what you’re doing makes you happy. How even when you are actually doing well, you still feel like a failure.”
Mason’s and Savannah’s interactions were fun and hilarious. I had to see what happened next. I like that there was definite sparks between them but still was clean. Just enough spice!
This whole story is about miscommunication, expectations, grudges and forgiveness. I think the reader can definitely relate to the characters.
I recommended this story to my friends.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I also purchased a copy for myself.
