The Hookup Hoax by Heather Thurmeier
3.0
3.5 stars
Thank you to Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of this book!
Last year I read two novels back to back, The Marriage Bargain and Beautiful Bastard. The Hookup Hoax reminded me of a blending of these two novels, and at time seemed to be the perfect balance of the best elements of both. It had the sweet campy 'together because of a pact' trope, as well as some satisfying work/work event sexual tension. The characters were even milder and less annoying and/or abrasive as some of the characters in the other novels.
Is The Hookup Hoax an original plotline? Absolutely not. If you're looking for something fresh and new, this isn't the story for you. But if you're looking for something fun and quick that will keep you entertained, then by all means, try this one out! Though a cliche near the end annoyed me because, though I LOVE cliches when they are fun and well done, some never add to the story, in my opinion and this is one of those cliches. Still, I enjoyed myself while reading this book and that's what I want in my fun romances. I just want to have a good time, so thank you Heather Thurmeier, for providing that!
