4.5 STARS

It's official: I'm obsessed with Helena Hunting's words. This series has become my go-to when I need a sexy and feel good romance that's full of laughs and sizzle. It just never disappoints and I will never get enough of it. Admittedly I did things a little backwards by reading I Flipping Love You before this book, but since these are all interconnecting standalones, I never felt like I lost anything in the story by doing that.
Hooking Up was a totally addicting read full of laughs and sizzle. The premise of the story was a delicious page turner. I was riveted to the pages from beginning to end with a goofy smile on my face the entire time. I simply couldn't get enough of these characters.
What could be the worst thing to happen on your wedding day? For Amalie Whitfield, it's hearing your brand new husband getting a bj from someone that's not you over the reception loud speakers. Talk about your embarrassing disaster. So what's a girl to do? Cut herself out of her dress with shears and proposition her soon to be ex-husband's incredibly hot cousin in the bridal room, of course. What? A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Besides, she did Lex before her groom. It just happened to be that he looked like the epitome of bad boy and too good looking to be good for her. She's not exactly known for her great choice in men. Her current predicament is a prime example. In an embarrassed and devastated fog, she decides to go on her honeymoon alone to recover...only for Lex to end up on the same tropical island to work a deal for his family's hotel business. Suffice it to say, steamy moment ensue.
Can I just tell you all of the ways I adored Lex? God, this man was utter perfection. He's sweet with a side of dirty talker, tatted, muscled, and totally gone for Amelie. They know that all the odds are stacked against them, but a tropical temporary fling can't hurt, right? Until feelings get involved. And then things get a whole lot more complicated.
Amelie was a great heroine. I loved her sass and how she took no sh*t from her cheating "husband". As for Armstrong, the douche? I have never wanted a character to be killed off more than I did him. I swear I spent half the book hoping he'd be hit by a bus. Talk about your king of douchebags. This man took the cake. I absolutely hated him.
The romance was fantastic! I loved Amelie and Lex together. I loved their chemistry, in and out of bed. I loved their banter and watching them fall hard for each other.
If you're looking for a lighthearted, feel good romance that's full of steam and humor, this series is an absolute must read. Hooking Up was another amazing addition to this addicting series, and I'm already itching for my next fix.

Find me on:
He’s sweaty, I’m sweaty, we’re both glistening from the exertion. I glance down, checking out his abs as they ripple. His body is unreal. He should never wear clothes again. Ever.
“Hungry?� He’s grinning.
“That was my vagina asking for more orgasms. We need to know how long it’s going to be before ‘Oh God� can provide more of those.�
