Amazon Description:
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?

Thanks to TLC Book Tours for sending me a copy of Hypnotized by Love for review! All opinions are entirely my own.
This was a new author for me and I enjoyed Hypnotized by Love. It was a fast-paced, engaging story that I read really quickly. I loved the idea of someone being in such a deep hypnotic state that the hypnotist would feel responsible for their choices. I also really liked the witty banter between all the characters. So funny!
One thing I didn’t like as much is that I felt the main character, Savannah, was hard to like. I totally understand that some hard things happened to her, but I still had a hard time looking past her negativity and immaturity. Her twin sister also had some tough stuff in her past and didn’t seem to let it make her bitter like Savannah did. It wasn’t enough to ruin the whole book, but I would have liked a main character who was easier to root for, although I will say that her character did show some growth as the story progressed.
If you like closed-door romantic comedies with lots of banter and action, Hypnotized by Love would be a good choice for you!
