The Hook Up

Written by Kristen Callihan

Narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Maxine Mitchell

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all . . . No falling in love.

Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy, right?

Too bad he's committed to making her break every rule . . .

Football has been good to Drew. It's given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there's one problem: she's shut him down. Completely.

That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it's up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she's truly hooked. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for The Hook Up

[ioana · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Too long, weak story. It started good but left me so disappointed. Hated Iris. The h seemed just stubborn for no reason

[Alisha · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I liked this more than i thought i would. I would recommend it to anyone that likes contemporary romance. It's nice that you feel for the characters and the author builds them without using a history of abuse as the reason for thier behavior.

Solid. Entertaining. Everyday book.

Both voice actors are very good.

It is a bit of a miscommunication as driving the plot kind of storyline as the conflict is primarily around the female main character repeatedly pushing away what she wants because of her personal insecurities. It's frustrating, but dual POVs helps you become imvested in them working it out.

I loved this book. I always want more from these great books.

FMC is annoying. Can’t stand self-sabotage and lack of communication. Iris is an idiot.
