Getting pregnant after a booze cruise hookup was not what any parent wanted to hear, so I picked up my entire life and moved to Paris to start over. Six years later, I was ready to go home. 

I was a single mom and the only thing I knew about my son’s dad was his name—Luca. I didn’t need to know anything else.

The universe had other ideas because on our second day back home, the man came crashing back into my life.

Luca 

Attending a welcome back party for my boss's daughter wasn’t how I wanted to spend my Sunday. But walking in and seeing my hookup from a cruise six years ago knocks me on my ass. 

It was a weekend of fun and now I'm seeing a pair of eyes, identical to mine, staring right at me. The boy standing next to her is my son. 

Now we’re living next door to each other and attempting to co-parent something that would be easy to do if the pull that brought us together wasn’t still there making things more complicated.

For six years she haunted my dreams, now she's haunting my every waking moment.
I let her get away once, now I want to make her mine. 

This time, permanently. 

Only one thing left to do. I have to tempt the hookup.

My Review:

Having read and enjoyed other books by the author before, I couldn’t wait to read Madison’s latest release. Needless to say, Tempt the Hookup did not disappoint. It was a swoon worthy romance that will hook you from beginning to end.

In this story we get to meet, Luca DiMarco, a lawyer who works at Coco and Associates ever since he got out of college having graduated first in his class. It’s his success that has made him an irreplaceable asset in the law firm and his boss really admires him. But no matter what his success brings, he still has a void in his heart. One that he can’t seem to fill no matter who he dates. His heart has alway belonged to one woman and ever since they met on a cruise while in college, he can’t seem to move on from her.

Their arrangement was simple, no names during the four-day trip and they would go their separate ways. What he wasn’t expecting at the end of the trip was to really like her. Now it was been six years since the last time they saw each other and he still misses her. So when his boss calls for him to attend a welcoming part for his daughter, Luca agrees to go. Little did he know that his boss’s daughter would turn out to be the same woman he met at the cruise all those years ago and with her a kid that looks just like him. Luca might not know his son, but he is willing to do anything to catch up after all the years he didn’t have with him. Learning to co-parent would have been easy, but he still has feelings for Eli and will not stop until he wins her back.

Eli Coco never expected to meet anyone at the cruise she went on, but after stumbling across Luca, everything changed. There was no need for any more information other than names only and after that they were supposed to go their separate ways. But after a couple of weeks back home, she discovered that she was pregnant. Without the support of her family, she accepted the admittance into design school and left for Paris two weeks later. She struggled without knowing anyone there, but she had her son, Aiden and he made everything worthwhile. Her return from Paris was supposed to symbolize a new beginning with her family close by, but she got more than she bargained for the minute she sees Luca at the welcoming party. Eli is scared of what he might think of their son and of the life that he might have with someone else. It’s these fears that has her building walls to protect herself, but at the end of the day she still loves him now she has to find a way to let him that she does.

Tempt the Hookup was an overall sweet story about new beginnings. Luca is the sweetest when it comes to Aiden and Eli. He is protective over them right away and assumes responsibility of being a father. On the other hand, Eli has been through so much and she is happy to see that her son has a father figure to look up to. As the two get to know each other, the more they realize that they are meant to be together. As I mentioned before, the story is sweet and romantic. Yet, it lacked drama and I do wish the author could have extended some scenes between the characters. But the story does end nicely and everything comes full circle. I would still highly recommend it and I cannot wait to read more from the author in the future. :)

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**

My Rating: 4.5/5

About the Author:

When her nose isn't buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, she's in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. It's a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesn't listen to her...
