The Hook Up by Kristen Callihan
5.0
Thank you so much to the Harlequin for the exclusive copy of this!
This book was originally released back in 2014 but will be re-released on July 9th.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I am truly in my sports romance era. I gobbled this one up. I haven't read too many football romance (only the Alexa Martin series) but this one was just SO good!
"Doesn't noise hurt your head?"
"Your voice isn't noise. It's a song I want to hear over and over."
Drew *sigh* - if you are looking for a book boyfriend. Drew Baylor is the one for you. There is just something about him. I swooned the whole time from start to finish. He just was so enamoured with Anna. Anna was very resistant and Drew had not done anything to make her think differently but the reputation and him being who he was had her scared. They were just so incredible hot together. And their intimate scenes were so so good! OH and the fact that she wouldn't kiss him when they would hook up, who knew could be so hot.
One of my favorite chapters came later in the book (chap 36) where Anna is taking care of Drew. I just loved their vulnerable conversation and it was just a love fest of feelings. I was happy for Anna to own up to her mistakes in their relationship & the reasoning behind it - "I kept waiting for you to realize that you'd got it wrong. That I was the girl you were never supposed to see."
This was just a fun time from start to end. I just loved their dynamic. The banter between not only between Anna and Drew but the banter between each of their friend groups. I enjoyed when the scenes also included them! I loved George!!!
I paired my reading with the audio and the incredible Teddy Hamilton and new narrator to me Maxine Mitchell were so good as Drew and Anna. I really loved the tone and cadence of Maxine and what she brought to Anna. They both felt believable as characters.
I know there are more to the series and you betcha I will be checking them out! Especially because the next book MMC is Gray Grayson who made an impression in this book.
And with this re-release we get a bonus chapter that takes place after the book ends but before the epilogue!
I recommend this if you are looking for a college, steamy romance with dual POV!
