Omg, its soooo cute!!! Fast reading, full of love

Contains: anonymous hookup obviously, great seggs scene, so cute, adorable, and plenty of joke.

I read this all book with a smile plastered in my face. It was so cute, adorable, full of loving quote, geeky playing chess while snarking each others, dogs playmates, and a hookup who cant stop popping out everywhere. And obviously, the title of their ever-changing relationship.

One character has broken up with his partner (months ago) but hasn’t gotten back into the dating pool so his friend requests he write an article about an anonymous hook up. All systems go until he meets someone, has quite the time of it and then down the track they unexpectedly fired paths. What’s a guy to do? 

I liked both MCs and this was super light, fluffy (and it’s not a bad thing). There was low angst and the critical point in their relationship was addressed well and quickly. 

I enjoyed this one - right book right time.

**I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.**

Lane Fenwick was just out of a crappy relationship and isn't looking for anything serious right now but he needs a way to get over his ex Preston. Jules, his best friend, suggests a hookup, something Lane has never done and write about an anonymous hookup for her blog. They agree it has to be the first person that catches his eye and it has to be completely anonymous, no names, no information, no strings. Lane is nervous but willing to try. He never expects to see the most gorgeous man he's ever seen and when he is assertive and takes the leap by propositions him. They share an amazing night and Lane is sad it can't be more but he has a great memory. Until he runs into him at doggy daycare could it be fate?

I loved watching this one play out. How they both tried so hard to keep it casual and it was everything but. It's the perfect amount of heat and sweet in this novella.

It was a fun quick read and was the first from this author for me. I am interested in seeing what else they have to offer and will be checking out other titles.

This is storytelling at its finest for me. I loved every second of The Anonymous Hookup by Jax Calder. This was sexy, laugh out loud funny and down right clever.
This is a novella but it didn’t feel like it. It wasn’t rushed like a lot are. A lot of times with novella’s you get a beginning and an end but this had a beginning a middle and a HEA. I can’t say it enough how much I liked this story. It’s by far my favorite novella I have ever read. I love Lane and Sam!!!
I received an ARC from Gay romance reviews and this is my honest opinion.
