The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon is a great conclusion to the Boyfriend Project series. I love London and Drew's story, enemies to lovers romance. While I always enjoy the chemistry and attraction between the two main characters, I also enjoy the female friendships that Rochon presents. That's my favorite part!

The Hookup Plan brought this series full circle perfectly! Although these books can be read as stand-alones, I found enjoyment reading them in order. The dual POVs provided insight into both Drew and London’s minds which I loved. I also feel this book had more spice than The Boyfriend Project & The Dating Playbook. Overall, 3 1/2-4 stars! A sweet read of (high school) enemies to (adult professional) lovers.

I really enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to have two people already established in their careers and confident in who they are as individuals. It was also refreshing to have a Female Main Character in her 30s and not paranoid about ever having a baby. Many women do not want children, and this should be embraced.

The third and final book in the series, and of course, I was not disappointed. This might have been my favorite book in the series, although the residents I've come in contact with on a consistent basis is not like London. Plus London has more guts than I have, because my 30th class reunion will be coming up in a few years, and I more than likely won't be attending, much less, organizing it. The passion London has was so amazing and heartwarming, and I loved how even though she wanted this to stay as enemies with benefits, she grew and matured throughout the story. Great job

I received a copy of the book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions

This book was ok but wasn't one that I particularly enjoyed. I am sure that it will appeal to many but Drew was a little too devoted for me (weird that I can say that when talking about a romance novel but it go to the point of being overly cheesy). And I couldn't connect with London personally, a lot of her decisions were the opposite of what I would've done. I did like the friendship between the three ladies and seeing it all through the series was great. It was a good read I just didn't love it.

Farrah Rochon didn't disapppoint with her latest book, The Hookup Plan. Firstly, this book is an enemies to lovers which is my favorite trope ever. Secondly, Farrah Rochon knows how to bring the spice to any book, and I am totaly here for it!

London and Drew once were school rivals and now are temporarily working together with all the gorgeous and witty banter that I've come to love from this series. Just look at the gorgeous cover and you'll see the kind of push and pull that you're in for. This one can be read as a stand alone, but if you love it, then just know that you have a backlog of Farrah's books to look forward to.

Thanks so much to Forever Publishing for providing me an ARC of this book.

I thought it was great how this book highlighted not getting burned out & how women are treated in the workplace.

As the title highlights, London Kelly has zero interest in Drew Sullivan apart from having him massage her all over. and maybe licking his abs. He's her archnemesis, after all, the one person who just has to stand against her in all things since college. Little does London know that for Drew its always been about gaining her attention.

A super fun romp of a read. Another winner by Farrah Rochon.

I remember a few years ago when THE BOYFRIEND PROJECT was announced and I was sooo ready to dive into this series. I loved the concept (three girls get wronged by the same guy and find out by going viral on social media, then they become BFFs) and was excited to see where each companion novel went. I really enjoyed book one, mostly enjoyed book two, and am happy to say I loved book three. This was genuinely a delightful end to this companion series!

I’m going to miss these characters, especially the gals from the first two books. In this story, I really loved London and Drew. High school enemies to lovers with a badass surgeon and rich guy with a heart... can’t go wrong. They meet again at their high school reunion and decide to have a quick hookup, despite the fact that they were enemies and constantly competing in high school. Come to find out, Drew is actually going to be consulting at London's hospital in Austin, and she is not pleased to find this out post-hookup. Naturally there's some chemistry as they work together and keep up a friends with benefits arrangement.

Overall, I really loved that there was no major drama between the couple in this one either. They had things to work through, including London's work situation and next steps in her career, but there wasn't a real black moment. This is a really enjoyable companion contemporary romance series and I would highly recommend it!

Something I really enjoyed about this book is the ongoing communication between the characters. No miscommunication trope here! The characters were 3-dimensional and supported each other well. It did feel a little long in the second half, and I’m not confident it will be memorable for me, as there was little that made it stand out from the genre as a whole. However, there were definitely aspects I enjoyed!

I've had this series on my tbr for a while, so when I was given an arc copy of the third book, I was pretty excited! Unfortunately, I didn't love the book, primarily due to my dislike for London. I felt a disconnect from the story too and had a hard time getting through the first half because it felt like parts of the story were forced at times. I do plan to give the first two books a try though.

Thank you to Netgalley & publishers for allowing me an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was a good ending to the boyfriend project series. I definitely love London, and can relate to her more than anyone else. She’s level headed and knows what she wants. The romance was great! A little bit of enemies to lovers in this one.

DNF at 40%. When I requested this book, I remembered that I really liked the first book in the series. I should have checked my reviews though because I’m quitting this book for the same reason I quit the second book in this series - the diet culture references. I don’t need to see every time a character eats a cupcake that they reference multiple times the extra time they will spend on the treadmill to make up for it.

I also don’t get the enemies to lovers aspect since it seems so one sided. This was a miss for me. Thank you to Forever for the advance reading copy.

The Hookup Plan
By Farrah Rochon

I am a huge fan of the series of strong and inspiring women and super excited to finally read London’s story – its been a long time waiting for me, in this third book of the series.

The story was great! I loved every moment of the read form the sizzling hot chemistry to learning more about London and Drew – their stories were well drawn out and I found the story hilarious, sexy and also super sweet. The friendships and themes of self care was so important and I loved that London was a Pediatric Surgeon, and learning about the hospital side of things as a nurse this was fun for me.

What a fantastic series end – very entertaining and enjoyable read.

I liked this book, but less than the other two. It’s a personal preference with this one - I don’t really enjoy the enemies to lovers/friends with benefits trope. I did like the hospital setting a lot - it was very Grey’s Anatomy.

I have absolutely loved this series, and the Hookup Plan was the perfect ending and all I hoped for! The only complaint I have is I am sad it is over! I have been waiting for London's story and loved it. I'm such a sucker for enemies to lovers. And Drew is one of my favorite heroes! Love when two strong leads fall in love!

Successful pediatric surgeon London Kelley just needs to find some balance and de-stress. According to her friends Samiah and Taylor, what London really needs is a casual hookup. A night of fun with no strings. But no one—least of all London—expected it to go down at her high school reunion with Drew Sullivan, millionaire, owner of delicious abs, and oh yes, her archnemesis.

Now London is certain the road to hell is paved with good sex. Because she’s found out the real reason Drew’s back in Austin: to decide whether her beloved hospital remains open. Worse, Drew is doing everything he can to show her that he’s a decent guy who actually cares. But London’s not falling for it. Because while sleeping with the enemy is one thing, falling for him is definitely not part of the plan.

This is the third book in the Boyfriend Project series by Farrah Rochon. I've read all three, and this was my favorite! The series started when London, Taylor, and Samiyah found out they were all dating the same guy. The three women made a plan to put the experience behind them and to better themselves, and in the process they became best friends. Samiyah and Taylor have both found their love matches, now it's London's turn.

At first, London was a little too brash for my taste. However, as her character unfolded, I could understand the why behind the bold exterior. The hard shell is protecting a sensitive interior, and who would have thunk it would be her high school arch nemesis who would crack that shell?

I thought the writing and character development in this installment was far superior to books one and two! Very enjoyable!

Thank you to Forever/Grand Central Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in return for an honest review.

Farrah Rochon has an incredible gift of writing about the strength of friendship ...as well as not being afraid to bring in the romance and steam in characters' relationships. I truly ADORE Drew and London (sequel?!) and this book was just what I needed....workplace romance and Enemies to lovers! Such a fun read- look forward to what the author does next. Thank you NetGalley and Forever for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was my first Farrah Rochon book and the first of this series I have read. The steam was great and I appreciated the dynamics of them working through a complicated relationship. It was a solid read and I’d like to read the rest of the books in the series.

It seemed a bit slow in parts, and the hook seemed to come in the last 15% - I would have liked to have read more about what happened after the book ended - like what happened to Coleman?! What changes did they make at the hospital? How have they made it work? But maybe that’s why there’s another book in the series….

Thanks for the ARC - I enjoyed it!
