And that is a good problem to have! I thought they were both amazing and I really felt that they belonged together. “I assure you, there’s nothing nice about the things I want to do to you, the ways I want to have you.”īetween Lex and Amie, I couldn’t tell you which character I loved more. A ‘What happens in Bora Bora stays in Bora Bora’ thing… but, these two have undeniable chemistry and can’t seem to stay away from each other. Their connection is there and stronger than ever.

Now, after the wedding from hell, they are coincidently at the same place at the same time. Lex and Amie have had a connection from the moment they met, but it never went anywhere. Seriously, there is nothing redeemable about this guy. This wedding… gah! It made me mortified for poor Amie. The book starts out at Amie’s wedding… and she’s not marrying Lex.

If you’ve read Shacking Up, you know the back story of Amalie. It had parts that were emotional, and it was a bit of a forbidden love story as well. I loved Lexington and Amie! Their story wasn’t all laughs, though. Hooking Up is one of those books that kept a smile on my face. 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.įilled 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. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him. 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 he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.

She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception ― but for all the wrong reasons.
