Tempt #3

Tempt the Hookup

Rate this book
Eliahn
Getting pregnant after a booze cruise hookup was not what any parent wanted to hear, so I picked up my entire life and moved to Paris to start over. Six years later, I was ready to go home.

I was a single mom and the only thing I knew about my son’s dad was his name—Luca. I didn’t need to know anything else.

The universe had other ideas because on our second day back home, the man came crashing back into my life.

Luca
Attending a welcome back party for my boss's daughter wasn’t how I wanted to spend my Sunday. But walking in and seeing my hookup from a cruise six years ago knocks me on my ass.

It was a weekend of fun and now I'm seeing a pair of eyes, identical to mine, staring right at me. The boy standing next to her is my son.

Now we’re living next door to each other and attempting to co-parent something that would be easy to do if the pull that brought us together wasn’t still there making things more complicated.

For six years she haunted my dreams, now she's haunting my every waking moment.
I let her get away once, now I want to make her mine.

This time, permanently.

Only one thing left to do. I have to tempt the hookup.

Spoilers ahead


They hooked up without exchanging last names
She gets pregnant and has no way to contact him
He goes to a party at his boss's house and sees her with a child who turns out to be his
I felt they handled the situation maturely especially in the telling to her parents
Both were CELIBATE during the separation (thank you dear author)

Honestly I was a bit bored but in a move of complete bias because of the celibacy I'm rating this 4 stars . A hero who couldn't stop thinking about the h and actually managed to keep it in his pants??? Yup worth the 4*!

REVIEW: 3.5-4 STARS
"I know that with you by my side, holding my hand, everything is going to be better."


You guys!! What fun this book was!! Ok, after reading so many heavy books for months - I love that I was able to sink into something so sweet and loving, without the feeling that I needed to hurry the story along. This was the perfect idea of a second chance at love. Once again, Natasha Madison gave me a light-hearted read that was not overly dramatic, yet one that gave me all the smiles. It’s not a heavy read with angst, but one that tells a simple story of finding the one....again. I loved the ease in which I settled into this one. It was a breath of fresh air.

The writing, while some of it may have been written pretty descriptively - script-like, her voice is clean. It’s not muddled. It’s not confusing. It’s not drama-laden. It’s just easy reading with some love and amazing second chance vibes. As she puts it, her "no frills" stories - and I am here for them. Without added drama, this may rub some as "too perfect and unrealistic" but I gotta say that it was actually what enticed me further into the story. This was the perfect book to end a very long and busy week, and it made me smile throughout, so I was so glad when I finally finished it and was still smiling.

"Without you, I just exist."

Something that doesn't happen often; I actually giggle-cried. What's that? You know when you giggle through something emotional and end up springing a leak in your eyes? I did that!! I giggled more than anything, but I still did the "awww" thing while reading. But again, not heavy. It just made me feel Eli and Luca's story just a little bit more. The banter was fun. The side characters were a hoot. The honest miscommunication between them added a level of anticipation on both characters' sides, but again - nothing overly dramatic.

You can see by the synopsis alone that the story starts off on the fun side of things with the booze cruise and assumed activities. I already smiled at that, so I was excited to actually jump in and see how Eli and Luca traversed the awkward and handled the unexpected emotions that worked consistently well with the chemistry these two had.

Eli was a very strong woman, and Luca was the sweetest alpha. The story read very quickly and I was actually pretty shocked at how quickly I got though it. From the premise to the characters, from the lack of drama and eye-roll-worthy moments, this book hit the spot for me! Is this type of read my normal? Sweet without drama, without a hitch in my breathing, anticipating the pain on the very next page? No, not really, but the fact that I enjoyed it and can't wait to read more in this series tells me a lot. It also tells me that Natasha Madison has a permanent spot on my reading shelf for when I need the light and fun story to calm my angsty-book-loving side.

Reminder: this is the third book in her Tempt Series, but can be read as a complete standalone. This was my first book in the series and I will be going back now and reading the first two because this one was so much fun. I know that I will have a straightforward, uncomplicated read with plenty of laughs and navigable circumstances to add to the plot. Natasha Madison has a great sense of humor that shines through in this one, and I'm so glad I picked this one up.

4.5 stars. This book is pure sweetness overload. It’s a great palette cleanser for when you need something light with minimal angst. I absolutely loved it for those reasons… but I know this won’t be for everyone. If you like extra sweet romances, and are ok with a very simple plot line, I’m sure you’ll like this as much as I did.



Safe; both H&h were celibate during their 7 year separation. No OM/OW drama but there was some jealousy and misconceptions. No cheating.

amazing hero and a treat for safety lovers!!

- both stayed celibate in the 7 year separation
- hero is literally the best and steps right up when he finds out he has a kid w/ heroine
- cute lil kiddo
- story-wise it was alright, i did put it down for a while before picking it back up and bumped to 4 stars due to the celibacy thing which is so rare these days

Second Chance | Accidental Pregnancy | Romantic Comedy

When I first heard that Natasha Madison was writing another book in the Tempt series I was stoked! She always manages to deliver smart, sexy, and giggle inducing romances and there is no question that the same applies to this book. Tempt the Hookup is a second chance romance between two people who met on a booze cruise 7 years prior and come face to face at a work event. Little did either know that the other was going to be there, and the surprises that both seem to have hidden all these years come back full force.

Overall, I loved this book. I devoured it in less than 24 hours because it's an easy read and kept my attention from beginning to end. I loved how this book is not loaded down with drama (it's actually quite lighthearted and simple) and really enjoyed being on the journey of second chances with Eliahn and Luca. I also love a book about an accidental pregnancy and Natasha hit it out of the park here. A lot of times authors throw in so much unnecessary drama with this trope and make the book feel dirty and cheap, but that's not the case here. I also want to mention the amazing group of secondary characters. What a fun group of people! I'm hoping more stories will be coming in the future.

If you are a fan of Natasha Madison, this is a must read! If you aren't familiar with her books or have only read a few I want to suggest grabbing this series immediately. These books are FUNNY. Especially the first book Tempt the Boss, which had me laughing so hard I nearly peed! This one is funny too, but there are only a few parts that actually had me giggling uncontrollably (like a wax anyone? How about some face cream?). Bahaha- so funny!

YES! YES! YES!
How many times do you read a secret baby trope where the heroine didn't tell the father about the baby for some unknown, stupid, not-good-enough-at-all reason? How many times have we read about the heroine being frozen and all chaste for years and years and years just because she is a single mom now (because good moms don't want sex (but single dads have no such problem, they find enough time to get laid often and still be a good parent)) whilst hero sleeps around. Hell the woman doesn't even need to be a single mom for her to be celibate!
Finally a 2nd chance, secret baby with years long separation that I can read! Because both of them are celibate! And the reason why hero doesn't know about the baby is because heroine didn't knw his surname or contact details. She wanted to tell him but couldn't.
Honestly I am impressed that the hero was celibate for 7 years because of just a hook up? I mean at least the heroine can use the excuse of being a single mom. But hell I have read books where heroine have been celibate for freaking over a decade (in one book, even 16 years, yikes) so if that shit is realistic, so is this.

Sweet, fun, sexy and gorgeously romantic, this is such a great read. Easy and fun with no angst or drama, I sat down and read it in one afternoon, and I loved it!

That blurb! It’s Natasha Madison, so I knew I’d be reading this one as soon as I could get my hands on it, but that blurb sucked me right in and I have been desperate for this book, and it was just what I wanted!

This book does tie in with the other Tempt books – Luca works with Noah (Tempt the Playboy), and his assistant is Lauren (Tempt the Boss) – and though those connections are fun for fans, they’re not key to the story with only limited character crossover and this book can absolutely standalone.

Luca and Eliahn met as college students on board a ‘booze cruise’. They connect instantly and share an incredible four days together, but knowing it can’t go anywhere they keep it to first names only and don’t share anything too personal. But their short time together will leave a lasting impact on both of their lives.

Seven years later, Luca is a successful lawyer who is married to his career and Eli is a single mother who has spent the last six years living in Paris. It’s now time for her to come home, and when Luca’s boss invites him to his house for a welcome home party for his daughter, they’re about to come crashing back into each other’s lives.

I turn my head, and my eyes meet the blue eyes that have haunted my fucking dreams since I walked off that boat. Her long blond hair is tied on the top of her head in a ponytail. She is looking around, and when she finally turns and her eyes meet mine, her eyes go wide. Her face goes pale, and then I look down at the little boy holding her hand, and I take a step back. He may have his mother’s looks, but those are my eyes.

I was tingling with excitement and anticipation as Luca and Eli are reunited. I could feel all that they were feeling, and I was desperate to see where their journey would take them (especially as it turns out that Eli and her son, Aiden, have moved into the house right next door to Luca. OMG, win!). It’s emotional, honest and raw, and they handle it functionally and sensibly, and their feelings for each other are right out there.

“I haven’t dated in years. Seven to be exact.” He gets closer and closer. “So I don’t have a girlfriend. Only because they had to live up to this woman I met seven years ago.”

The chemistry is fantastic and the sexual tension builds beautifully as they fall hard and fast. They have a lot to deal with, but they are absolutely devoted to each other, and their son, and though it moves fast, it feels natural, and I loved seeing them be so open with each other.

“What if it doesn’t work out?” I ask, trying to swallow, but the lump in my throat is suddenly huge.
“Baby,” he says softly. “Do you think we went seven years without each other to finally finding each other for us not to work out?” he asks, and I shrug. “It’s you, Eli,” he says. “It’s always been you. Even when you didn’t even know.”

*dreamy sigh*

Things more seriously fast between them. From the moment Eli and Aiden enter his life, Luca is all in, and Eli is more than happy to just go along with it. Honestly, parts of it felt a little unrealistic with how quickly it all unfolded, but I was caught up in the chemistry and excitement, and in the joy of seeing this little family together, and I just went with it.

Little Aiden is a delightful addition to the story. Sweet, funny, charmingly innocent and blissfully accepting of all of the changes in his life, he is absolutely gorgeous and his relationships with his mum, dad and grandparents is just adorable.

For those who are not fans of the ‘surprise child’ twist, don’t worry - hidden pregnancy books usually have me running for the hills, but this is the way to do it.

We get to see glimpses of their time together through memories and flashbacks, but this book is all about the present and watching Luca and Eli find the happy ending that they always wanted. It’s fun, easy and so freaking romantic, with a gorgeous epilogue, and I finished this book with a big grin on my face.

I loved it – 4 stars.

Tempt the Hookup is book three in the Tempt series but a complete standalone. Natasha is one of those authors who truly knows how to deliver standalone books within a series. There is no underlying plot throughout each book and you don't need to know any of the other characters to see the connection between everyone.

Eliahn (Eli) and Luca met six years ago on a booze cruise and only first names were exchanged. They never expected to see the other ever again and truly never expected to create anything out of their quick romance.

Fast forward to the present and their chemistry has brought them back together. There is no denying the chemistry between these two. What was so easy six years ago, is still the same now. Plus add in their son and things blend even better. This is just a sugar, sweet romance that readers will devour.

So why the 3 star rating?? Maybe it was the timing for me - it was too sweet, no angst or drama, and too perfect. Yes, there are many readers out there who love these books. And I have no qualms about them, I just need to be in the right mind to read them. My reads need to be deep and dramatized to really enjoy. There was just too much perfection for me to handle in one book. LOL

Natasha delivers a well-written romance, no doubt about it. But for me, it was just too sugary sweet and perfect. We'll just chalk it up to bad timing on my part and leave it at that.

But definitely go read it - if you love a sweet romantic story, you will love this one.

A surprise pregnancy with a second chance romance and an alpha that takes care of those that are his....HECK YEAH! And then add lots of hot loving-well that just made my day. Needless to say that I love, love, love these type of books!

Luca and Eliahn were perfect for each other and their chemistry was still hot even though it had been 7 years since they had last seen each other. Despite so much time that had passed they still yearned for each other and now they were bonded permanently. I loved that the drama was minimal and we got to see more of Luca and Eliahn getting to really know each other-outside of the sheets 😉 Need I say that I didn't want their story to end and am hoping to get more because yes I'm greedy 💓 Kara~5 Alpha Stars

Luca DiMarco has thought about Ellie for 7 years. After meeting her on a booze cruise and agreeing to only use first names he has regretted it since all his attempts to try and find her did not pan out. He is a successful lawyer now and while attending a party at his Boss’s house he comes face to face with the beautiful woman and her son.

Eliahn Coco has spent the last 6 years living in France and raising her son as a single mother. She has now moved back to the states so she and her son, Aiden can be close to her parents and enjoy family.

This book was really cute. I really enjoyed the way the story played out. There really wasn’t a lot of conflict which was refreshing and everything seemed to really be handled in a mature adult manor.

I know I read this out of order but it was available and when it comes to Natasha’s books I just can’t seem to wait.

Tempt the Boss was one of the not so many 5-stars reads I have read last year so no wonder why I picked this one up, especially when I saw there is a surprise baby and the drama behind it, which is like my comfort trope. However... (dot dot dot) I was so so underwhelmed. I could say bored at the time.

What happened?

That's the only question I'm asking myself.

3 stars for only the beginning of the story where all the action took place. I can easily say that my favourite part and oh so different from the other novels with this trope, was the fact that Eli did not try to hide the fact he was the father and they did tell everyone in the family straight away.

Fans of Natasha Madison's So series or Tempt The Boss, are going to love this addition to the line up with Tempt The Hookup. Once again, Ms. Madison has found her storytelling stride with this fun romantic story of second chances.

Luca and Eli are lust-crossed lovers who meet on a cocktail-and -sex college cruise. They meet up six years later with a pair of identical eyes staring right back in Luca's face. Eli and Luca have spent time with a hole in their lives that can only be filled by the other. We get to journey with them and their precocious son, Noah to a satisfying HEA.

This is my second favorite story in the Tempt series. Although light-hearted, Tempt The Boss will always laugh out loud riot reading. This story is more sweet and relatable. You can't help but hope this family can build something solid. I was in the mood for something lighter and easily devoured in an afternoon. The story did not disappoint in delivery.

Rating: 4.5/5

Having read and enjoyed other books by the author before, I couldn’t wait to read Madison’s latest release. Needless to say, Tempt the Hookup did not disappoint. It was a swoon worthy romance that will hook you from beginning to end.

In this story we get to meet, Luca DiMarco, a lawyer who works at Coco and Associates ever since he got out of college having graduated first in his class. It’s his success that has made him an irreplaceable asset in the law firm and his boss really admires him. But no matter what his success brings, he still has a void in his heart. One that he can’t seem to fill no matter who he dates. His heart has alway belonged to one woman and ever since they met on a cruise while in college, he can’t seem to move on from her.

Their arrangement was simple, no names during the four-day trip and they would go their separate ways. What he wasn’t expecting at the end of the trip was to really like her. Now it was been six years since the last time they saw each other and he still misses her. So when his boss calls for him to attend a welcoming part for his daughter, Luca agrees to go. Little did he know that his boss’s daughter would turn out to be the same woman he met at the cruise all those years ago and with her a kid that looks just like him. Luca might not know his son, but he is willing to do anything to catch up after all the years he didn’t have with him. Learning to co-parent would have been easy, but he still has feelings for Eli and will not stop until he wins her back.

Eli Coco never expected to meet anyone at the cruise she went on, but after stumbling across Luca, everything changed. There was no need for any more information other than names only and after that they were supposed to go their separate ways. But after a couple of weeks back home, she discovered that she was pregnant. Without the support of her family, she accepted the admittance into design school and left for Paris two weeks later. She struggled without knowing anyone there, but she had her son, Aiden and he made everything worthwhile. Her return from Paris was supposed to symbolize a new beginning with her family close by, but she got more than she bargained for the minute she sees Luca at the welcoming party. Eli is scared of what he might think of their son and of the life that he might have with someone else. It’s these fears that has her building walls to protect herself, but at the end of the day she still loves him now she has to find a way to let him that she does.

Tempt the Hookup was an overall sweet story about new beginnings. Luca is the sweetest when it comes to Aiden and Eli. He is protective over them right away and assumes responsibility of being a father. On the other hand, Eli has been through so much and she is happy to see that her son has a father figure to look up to. As the two get to know each other, the more they realize that they are meant to be together. As I mentioned before, the story is sweet and romantic. Yet, it lacked drama and I do wish the author could have extended some scenes between the characters. But the story does end nicely and everything comes full circle. I would still highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. :)

Tempt the Hookup by Natasha Madison is a sweet, light and no-angst romantic comedy. This is a second chance love story with a surprise pregnancy as a result of a 4 days booze cruise. As soon as I've read the intriguing blurb I knew that I needed to get my hands on this book asap! Natasha knows how to deliver an entertaining read with funny, sexy and very touching moments while making you hopelessly and irrevocably fall for her charming characters. This book is best savored with hot chocolate and a warm blanket. It will give you all the cozy and content feelings.

Luca, who is a Harvard graduate and partner in a huge law firm, attends the welcome back party of his boss' daughter. Never could he have expected that she is the gorgeous young woman he once met at a booze cruise. He has never forgotten her and the amazing time they've spent together. Imagine his surprise when he sees her holding a small boy's hand who looks like her but has his eyes. Luca immediately knows that he is his son.

Eliahn has been in Paris for six years after finding out that she is pregnant after a cruise hook-up. Since the only thing she knew about the father of her child was his name - Luca - she had to raise him all on her own. Now she is back home and wants to start anew with her parents' support. But the universe has other ideas when she meets her baby daddy at a party organised in her honor. And he's now staring knowingly at their little son.

On top of that it turns out that they are neighbors and now have to find out how to co-parent Aiden. This is definitely going to be a huge challenge on both sides since the strong pull they once felt between them is still very present and tempting. Luca once made the mistake of letting her go but now he will do anything in order to make her his.

The chemistry between Luca and Eli was off the charts hot. It's going to melt your e-reader ladies!
They instinctively knew from the first moment they've met that what they feel for each other is something special. But they were young, naive and labeled is as a once in a lifetime experience. I loved that they behaved like reasonable adults by wanting to give Aiden a healthy, happy and loving environment to grow. Their interactions with their kid put a huge smile on my face and made my heart melt. They were a wonderful family.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this book and therefore recommend it to all fans of this particular genre. Natasha truly did a good job with this story and I can't wait to see what she has next in tow for us. I'm giving Tempt the Hookup 4 twinkling stars.

It’s amazing how much a hook up/one-night stand with a stranger can alter someone’s life with just two little pink lines, but for Eliahn and Luca, the hero and heroine in Natasha Madison’s newest release, Tempt the Hook Up, what complicates things further is they have no way of communicating with each other about the bundle of joy headed their way in 9 months, which means that Eliahn will have to raise their baby on their own and Luca will never know he has a child.

But it seems fate has more in store for these two because 7 years later, Luca and Eliahn come face-to-face during an unexpected reunion and if the situation wasn’t already uncomfortable enough, the fact that they have a child together and Luca’s just finding out means these three will have to figure out this whole co-parenting thing while getting to know each other and doing what’s best for their son.

Tempt the Hook Up has a fast moving plot, and while some readers might find the pacing a bit too fast given the dynamics of the situation, to me, the timeline makes sense. Eliahn and Luca didn’t part on bad terms and they even tried looking for one another because they were constantly on each other’s minds, which means that the chemistry they felt on the cruise ship is only amplified once they start spending time together with their son.

It’s been awhile since I’ve read a romance with an accidental pregnancy, especially like the one in Tempt the Hook Up since Luca doesn’t meet his son until he’s 7. Because of that timeframe, Madison could have drawn things out and made anger and frustration the overwhelming emotions in the story line, but she doesn’t and it’s actually refreshing to read a story of this type where the hero and heroine act like the adults they are and put their child first.

I’ve read several of Natasha Madison’s books - some that have a more serious tone and address relatable and difficult topics and some that are more light-hearted and drama free. Regardless of the type of story, Madison illustrates her talent as a writer in being able to craft both kinds of books, and that’s what keeps her readers coming back for more.

Typical but good!

The story is quite typical but indeed entertaining. Two individuals who met and had no string attached consensual sexual relationship in a cruise. Years later found each other again, Luca realizing he had a son for the first time. Very nice twist because he happened to work with Eliahna's dad where they finally saw each after 7 years. Funny and good emphasis on solid marriage, role models and loyal friends. Nice!

Five great! Emotional stars!

Loved it! Can’t say enough good things. I love that I got to read a book without all of the angst that is so popular right now. Mild angst in the beginning. Safe book, there is no one for either of them, during the seven year separation. It’s a feel good book! Go get it!

Tempt The Hookup is book #3 in the Tempt series and was a super sweet, sexy and funny read. If you enjoyed the previous two stories Tempt The Boss and Tempt The Playboy, then you will sure love this one too. What I appreciate most about Natasha Madison is that she writes humor that doesn't feel forced. Every time I read her rom coms I can't help but shake my head in disbelief at her characters and their actions while laughing like crazy. This whole series are simply feel good books without unnecessary drama or angst that will put a huge smile on your face. This is why I highly recommend them!

Getting pregnant at age nineteen after a booze cruise hookup was not what Eliahn Coco expected. All she knew about her baby's daddy was that his name was Luca. In order to avoid judgement and find herself, she moves to Paris to start over. Six years later, she's returns back home with her son Aiden never anticipating that her life is going to be turned upside down again.

Luca DiMarco never expected to meet his old hookup at the welcome back party for his boss's daughter. As if that wasn't surprising enough, he also discovers that he's a father of a beautiful  little boy with identical eyes like his. For seven years Luca was unable to forget Eli and tried everything in his power to find her. He made the mistake to let the woman of his dreams get away once, but now he's determined to make her his.

Co-parenting and living next to each other will bring up old feelings and insecurities. Can Luca convince Eli to give them a chance as a couple and family?

I loved Eliahn and Luca. They were made for each other! Luca was the perfect gentleman. Smart, reasonable and protective. He's a very successful lawyer with a huge heart who feels very strong about family and responsibilities that come with it. As soon as he realized that he was a father, he stepped in and demanded to be a part in Aiden's life. Eliahn was a very strong, sweet heroine and a wonderful mother. She didn't hesitate to include Luca into Aiden's life and never held the past against him! From the first moment they met, she was as enamored by Luca like he was with her. But who totally stole my heart was the little boy Aiden. He was a funny, adorable and bright young boy who repeatedly embarrassed his parents in front of other people, lol!

I loved Lucas's friendship with his colleagues from Harvard: Jason, Nick and Tom. These guys were hilarious and made me laugh like crazy. I also appreciated the cameos of some characters from the previous two books like Noah and Lauren! I really missed them.

If you are a sucker for surprise pregnancies and second chance love stories with great humor, then this book is for you! Thank you Natasha for another amazing story. 4 stars.

WOW.... BLOW MY MIND... I LOVE THIS BOOK! sweet, romantic and just a great book that really makes your smile on your evening day of wanting to read some romantic safe love story....

THE HERO AND HEROINE meet at a cruise and agree to be strangers for their amazing trip. They DON'T TELL LAST NAMES BUT ONLY FIRST NAMES. THEY MEET AGAIN after 6 years... i know thats a bit a time for them to meet up again like that but i think its romantic and special.



--- IT HAS SEPARATION FOR 6 YEARS. BUT NEVER HAVE S*X WITH ANYONE ELSE. EVEEER... don't you see how special that is? Thats why i gave it 5 stars because how loyal both are and how both really love each other. THEY TRY TO GO ON DATES but never worked out so they never do anything further. Especially the hero said that would be wrong, he felt is wrong. He and her was busy doing their work...



--- NO DRAMA WITH OW. A BIT DRAMA WITH OM because the hero thought the heroine went on a date when she is not.



--- OTHER CHARACTERS ARE IN THIS BOOK. SO ROMANTIC AND CUTE...



--- NO VIRGINS

but after they reunited both said they are clean. And never have s*x with anyone else for 6 years... wowwwww



--- HOT SMUT SCENES



--- THE HERO IS PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE but not too possessive...



--- Their kids are so cute! We also get to see their parents from heroine and hero are very lovely and getting along so well...



--- HAPPY ENDING... ☺
THEY GOT MARRIED
HAVE KIDS...



--- MANY FUNNY MOMENTS lol

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, and heartbreak.

If you have not read the below I would recommend reading them first:
Tempt the Boss (Tempt #1)
Tempt the Playboy (Tempt #2)

This is Eliahn and Luca’s story. A hookup was all it was ever going to be, but she has a baby and moves on with her life. After all she will never see him, again right. Fats forward 6 years and they are face to face. He knows that is his son and he wants to be part of his life. But is she willing? The passion is still burning hot can they stay away from each other and just worry about the boy or will the feelings they can’t stop having pull them closer together? Could they really have a future?

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

I LOVED this book. The characters had me falling in love within the first few pages and I dare anyone to read this and not fall madly in love with Luca. Sweet lord this guy *fans self* He is the most perfect book boyfriend ever written. EVER! The guy hasn’t got a single fault as far as I’m concerned. Him and Eli are so right together. The chemistry between them, the respect they show each other, the maturity they show, it’s all perfect.

Natasha Madison has been a must read author for me for a while now and this is another brilliant example of why. Like all her books it has the right balance of emotion and humour, characters that aren’t only easy to like but that are so easy to relate to aswell and a story that’s pretty much impossible to put down. A definite must read!

I was so thrilled when I saw this ARC in Kindle. This is my fourth ARC from the author.

This book is the love-story of Luca and Eli, who met and hooked-up during a booze cruise then lost touch afterwards... fast forward many years, fate put them back together in the same path and did her magic...

It's not something I haven't read before but I enjoyed reading the story nonetheless. It was light, easy to read, sweet and swoon-worthy... the pacing was great and the characters were entertaining.

Reading this would make you see that what's meant for you will always find it's way to you... I know real life isn't like in the books or in the movies, and Luca is definitely too good to be true but who knows right? Reading this will give you hope that some day, some way... you will find your own person too despite all the obstacles in your way.

It's a heartwarming story between two soulmates who finally found each other at the right time and at the right place.

Luca has worked hard to make partner. What happens when he comes face to face with a ghost from his past? What about when this ghost isn't alone?

OMG!!! I loved every freakin' word of Luca and Eliahn's story! I laughed. I cried. Sometimes I laughed so hard I cried. This book will have you swooning one second, cracking up the next, and getting emotional the next moment.

Full of passion, humor, love, and all the sexiness! Tempt the Hookup will captivate you so deeply, you won't be able to put it down! Luca and Eliahn's story is an easy 5 stars! Amazing! Be ready to fall in love!

I really enjoyed Tempt the hookup it is book three in the tempt series and can be read as a standalone I do recommend that you read them in order though or read every book by Natasha Madison because she's amazing . I thought the characters were really likable along with the story line and I can't wait to read more by this author and hopefully see more from the characters .
