Every other Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a romantic comedy book.

Hypnotized By Love  (2024)

Sariah Wilson 

Synopsis

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 expected: 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?

Positive Points

This is a fictional book that is an easy read if you are wanting something for escapism. It is a book with a unique and unusual story and may be something you want to read on holiday.

Negative Points

It is a story that is completely predictable and what I call a ‘non-story’ there wasn’t really a need for the actual book and felt personally it was bit pointless.

Overall Review

Personally I feel that Sariah has written much better books and this one felt a little bit pointless and didn’t see the point of the hard sell on hypnotism at the beginning as it felt like it did not really play a part in the story. However if you want a book to escape on a holiday it may be ideal.
