About this ebook

The rules: no kissing on the mouth, no staying the night, no telling anyone, and above all… No falling in love.

Anna Jones just wants to finish college and figure out her life. Falling for star quarterback Drew Baylor is certainly not on her to do list. Confident and charming, he lives in the limelight and is way too gorgeous for his own good. If only she could ignore his heated stares and stop thinking about doing hot and dirty things with him. Easy right?

Too bad he’s committed to making her break every rule…

Football has been good to Drew. It’s given him recognition, two National Championships, and the Heisman. But what he really craves is sexy yet prickly Anna Jones. Her cutting humor and blatant disregard for his fame turns him on like nothing else. But there’s one problem: she's shut him down. Completely.

That is until a chance encounter leads to the hottest sex of their lives, along with the possibility of something great. Unfortunately, Anna wants it to remain a hook up. Now it’s up to Drew to tempt her with more: more sex, more satisfaction, more time with him. Until she’s truly hooked. It's a good thing Drew knows all about winning.

All’s fair in love and football…Game on.

Ratings and reviews

sex was good but honestly kinda boring and i don't find the characters humor is entertaining nor funny. like when they laugh, i was like, erm not even funny?

Kristen Callihan can write paranormal steam-punk romance and now she's proven she can write a great contemporary new adult romance novel as well. Her characters are complex, well written, and easy to connect with. I really liked Anna, but I totally loved Drew. He's confident, patient, kind, loving, and considerate. Anna didn't see her beauty the way Drew did and it caused some problems between them. They had some great chemistry and the dialogues were killer. If I wasn't laughing, I was swooning, and I even cried a little. The Hook Up is a book that shines best when read, so pick it up for yourself and find out how amazing it is!

Couldn't put it down. Two imperfect and very different people who end up being perfect for each other. Love it, loved the book. Couldn't stop reading it. Ended up recommending it to a lot of friends.
