Amalie
Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons.
Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie
and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak
out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded
male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.
Mortified
and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her
honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same
tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know
better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.
They
might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but
neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical.
Filled
with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an
airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next
standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Helena Hunting, the New York
Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up.
We all remember Amie!
She's Ruby's best friend and she's engaged to Armstrong - the idiot cousin of Bane and Lex.
Nobody can stand the guy and Amie is not so sure of him herself, but she's still hoping that it will all work out once they're married.
But it's not.
She ends up running away from her own wedding reception!
Then there's Lex. The guy who asked her out first, that same night Armstrong asked her. But Armstrong was the safer choice. Also, as history proves, Amie's not the best at choosing boyfriends!
And then once the wedding exploded, she literally threw herself at Lex for some revenge sex - but good guy that he is - he declined the offer.
But only because he wants more. He's always wanted more with Amie.
But she now thinks he rejected her because she might have acted a tiny bit crazy on her wedding day.
Off to paradise we go!
Alone on her honeymoon to forget about the wedding and everything else for a while.
But of course she's not alone - only it's not Armstrong on the plane with her - it's Lex - he needs to check on some of his family's hotels in Bora Bora....
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH AMIE & LEX?
WILL THERE BE A HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT! ☺
ADORABLE!
Poor Amie! We all knew that her stupid fiancé wasn't going to be her happily ever after.
But we know that Lex will be.
He's just perfect for her.
Of course it takes a while for them to get there.
Poor guy has to fight for his happy end!
But the reader has an amazing time watching them!!!
We have so many funny ...
... and sexy and adorable moments!
But also some very serious and moving and frustrating moments. Armstrong (that idiot) is not giving up that easily!!!
I just loved this book! There's really nothing more I could say!
READ IT!
HOOKING UP was the most adorable Romantic Dramedy!!!! Funny, sweet, sexy! I just LOVED it! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Lex - this one is MINE!!!!
... the only thing that didn't work for me - the cover. It's kinda hot, even though the guy is not my type - BUT - the guy is also not Lex. Helena always says how his brother - the pro rugby guy - is the muscley brother - so for me, this guy on the cover is waaaay too muscley and not in a good way for my tastes!!!!
ARC received for an honest review
Waaaah! This book is so freaking good!
I adored Amalie (Amie) in Shacking Up, and especially in the novella in the halloween novella that we got in the Eye Candy anthology).
But now? Now I love her so much!
In the earlier books, she is engaged to Armstrong, and we all think that he is nothing but a d!ck with no balls. Now we know that is true!
Do you remember Lex? He is Bane's brother and all kinds of good!
I might kinda be a little bit in love with him (ok, so I lie, I am a lot in love with him!) He is everything and more that a girl could ever want.
I did get frustrated at times with Amie - I wanted to knock some sense into her with my Kindle (damn girl, you need to wake up!!). I could understand why, but with everything that had happened, I just wanted her to give the big middle finger to everyone and be herself - maybe that is more my issue than hers though.
Hooking Up has a bit of everything. Of course there is some hooking up and sexy times (oooheeeee the sexy times!) however there is plenty of laughs and tears and some drama thrown in too.
Do yourself a big favour - buy and read Hooking Up. Right now. Do it.
