New Release/Review: Hooking Up by Helena Hunting

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

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.

Hooking up hooks you right at the beginning. Amie is supposed to be happy and glowing on her special day, but feels off. Then she, along with all her wedding guests, hears her new husband with someone else.
Lex doesn’t want to be at the wedding. He doesn’t understand why Amie is marrying his cousin.

What starts as a hook up, turns into more in this laugh out loud romance. Helena Hunting is a great writer. The story flows seamlessly and is told in both Amie and Lex’s POV. – Reviewed by Christina
