I'm so excited for this new series!

After Easton and Drake get a 100% match on a "hook-up" app, their chemistry is genuine and instant, creating a fiery pairing that burns hot until Drake shuts it down.

Getting to witness the bromance between Easton and his business partners was highly entertaining, right along with Drake and her bestie Saara. The characters are worth reading this book, and the storyline only makes it that much better.

Mr. Hook-up gives off strong You've Got Mail vibes, so prepare yourself for masked trysts, but the secrets are dragged out, which I greatly appreciated.

Diving into the worlds of Marni Mann is always a delight, especially when it's tied to her previous books, although it's not necessary to have read them first.

When you need spice in your life, Marni Mann will not let you down! She always weaves a great plot wrought with wonderful spice to heat you up and get your blood humming! The plot will not leave you wanting as it will feed your desire for delightful banter, a bit of will they/won't they and a plot twist leading towards the relationship between the main characters circling the drain! Never fear, the author doesn't leave you hanging and finds a clever way to bring you to the ultimate happy ending! Yes, double-entendre was purposeful and I promise it will be delightful! If your life needs spice, then this book should be on your TBR list now! For added fun, a couple of characters from another series make an appearance as well! I do so love a crossover, even if it is more of a cameo appearance than an actual insertion into the story. I really hope that this is the beginning of another series as it is obvious that the partners and friends of the main characters could be obvious main characters in future books! I know this is shocking, but even more than a good crossover, I do love a good series where you can really get to know the characters even better!

MR. HOOK Up By Marni Mann

Hooked. An app designed for the ideal one-night stand is the brainchild of Harvard graduate students Easton Jones and his two best friends. When Easton creates his Hooked profile, he gets a 100 percent perfect match. Who is this sure thing? Her username is Love. Their chemistry is off-the-charts explosive, and just when Easton begins falling for her, she disconnects from the app and disappears. Five years later, Hooked is now the number one dating app in the country. But that’s not the only thing on fire. Easton’s brilliant, gorgeous new recruit, Drake Madden, has ignited a desire he hasn’t experienced in years. Professionally and personally, they’re sizzling. Just as things really start getting serious, Love resurfaces. She wants a chance to explain, and she’s sending Easton’s heart into rewind. He has a loving woman in the flesh and a fantasy from his past—Easton’s world is about to be rocked. And rocked hard.


😊What i liked -

✔️ Workplace/One Night Stand/Love In An App /Second Chance/Forced Proximity.
✔️ Oh my this made me crave for Mr. Boston And Love kinda connection via an app.( had many awful app encounters)
✔️ With these two characters my favourite was Easton. Very Alphaie but ready to take the plunge kinda guy.
✔️I love the Bond they shared with their respective friends and love how they accepted the strong presence of each other’s friends in their life. (it’s kinda rare when a friends partner accepts the unconditional love a friend has)
✔️ Other than the MC’s my favourite was Saara and Belle.
✔️This book was a welcome treat with just the right amount of banter, angst, love and spice.


😊 What could have been better -

✔️ I was left wanting more.


😊Who Should read :

👶Beginners
💝 Romance Lover
💼Workplace Romance
💞One Night Stand Romance


My Rating : 4.5/5

P.s – What a perfect start to the series. Can’t wait to read what’s next in store.

Thank you, Marni Mann and Valentine PR, for a copy.

I flew through this book because it was so good! Marni Mann is the queen of angst and this book was filled with it. ⁣
🔹⁣
Part 1 follows the first meet of Easton “MrBoston” and Drake “SaarasLove”. Easton is one of the founders of the app Hooked and matches 100% with Drake. They have their first meet up and hook up but both are wearing masks so they don’t know who each other are. They have a crazy amount of chemistry but unfortunately they don’t get to meet again until 5 years later. ⁣
🔹⁣
Part 2 jumps to when Drake finds of Easton is her boss. They have such a connection and chemistry still! You don’t want to miss some of challenges they have to face to see if they will have this second chance!

***If Mr. Hook-up by @marnimann is not on your TBR, add it now. Mr. Hook-up is one of the best books I have read in a while!***

Here's a little bit about it...
Easton, the creator of Hooked, the hottest new dating app, never imagined that his hook would be a 100% match. Love was amazing, and everything Easton wanted until she ghosted him. 

Flash forward 5.5 years, and Drake walks into Hooked looking for a job. Drake doesn’t understand the instant comfort and familiarity she feels when Easton is around. It takes an after work, happy hour, and a tiny tattoo for her to realize the connection, but once she does, she becomes hooked again.

Mr. Hook-up had all Marni Mann’s signatures…a confident, alpha MC, a fast-paced story, and that steam we all love!⁣
⁣
I loved the first meeting between these two - who doesn’t want to meet their “Mr. Right” (or Mr. Boston in this case) at a masquerade ball!? ⁣
⁣
Easton and Drake were destined to be with each other, and deserved that second chance at love! Easton’s partners and best friends, Holden and Grayson, we’re just as great and I’m not sure whose story I’m more excited for first! Ok, let’s be real…it’s Holden because - single dad! 😍⁣
⁣
What to expect:⁣
📱Second chance romance⁣
💞Workplace romance⁣
📱👌🏻 spice⁣
💞Declan Shaw and Camden Dalton cameos ⁣
📱A random urge to try glamping! ⁣
⁣
Overall, a quick and easy read! Definitely check this one out! I can’t wait for the rest of the series!⁣
⁣
Thank you to the author and Valentine PR for an eARC and physical arc of this book! All opinions are my own.

This is a first read from this author.
Mr. Hook-Up was a fun, spicy, second chance workplace romance. Easy to read, easy to follow, enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. Insta-love at it's best. The spice between Easton and Drake was well delivered, as was the dramatic twist. Easton is the epitome of every good girls book boyfriend. Rich, attentive, and sexy as all get out.

A great light, spicy read! I'll definitely continue the series.

This needs to be series by Marni is everything I love and more. Easton, the hero, is GOALS!

Drake, the heroine, is fierce and strong! This new sexy and intriguing story is packed with all the feels! Drake and Easton have a chemistry that had my kindle on fire, I just could not put this book down for even a second.

I absolutely loved Marni Mann's Dalton Brothers series & had high hopes for this one too! Unfortunately, I just couldn't get into it. I really think it could be a promising story but the decision to make one of the first chapters nothing but text messages just didn't do it for me. Maybe I would have liked it a bit more if they had been formatted as actual text messages rather than just "Name: insert message in bold here". Maybe I'll try reading it again in the future, but it's just not the book for me at the moment.

💭 “I wanted to know what it would feel like to take the mask off and memorize her face. To touch her again. To kiss her without lace rimming her lips.”

➡️ I feel like I hit jackpot with this one, because it was my first book from this author and I absolutely had so much fun. There’s a little of everything I enjoyed: funny moments, great friendships, steam, love, dirty talking (from both sides!) and lots more. Oh for those who want to know no third act breakup.

Easton and his other two bffs launched a new dating app, Hooked, and the probability of a 100% match is almost inexistent, until their own owner hit gold with the mysterious Love. And without sharing their real names, they hit it off instantly and their connection is sexy and caring to see through. I was so obsessed. Until something happens and she leaves without trace.

Years later and wouldn’t you know, now Love is back and it’s working for Easton at Hooked. I was so happy that Drake and him found out their true identities quite fast, with unnecessary drama and their connection was even more strong. I adore when the couple form a strong bond and the kind f power couple.

Drake was an extremely likable character, so smart and power house professional. She also had zero inhibition with Easton and was super fun with her friend and really had her heart on her sleeve. Easton was oh so sexy and was head over heels in love with Drake now and even years before. I honestly can’t wait to read the rest of this series!

OMG this book is SO GOOD! I’ve read many books from this author and loved every one of them.

This book is addictive. I couldn’t stop reading. I adored Easton. He is Mr. Dreamy. Almost too dreamy. And hot, definitely hot. They are amazing together. There’s so much chemistry in this story! All the sexy time SIGH. The dialogs are witty and I laugh out loud many times. The secondary characters are really interesting and I need their stories ASAP! Specially Holden’s story! And his little Belle!
I highly recommend this super-hot romance!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Absolutely loved this book 5/5✨ It’s another great read with new characters and some Dalton cameos 😍 Easton (MMC) is one of the CEOs of Hooked, a hook-up app. He doesn’t anticipate his own profile matching 100% to anyone but it does with a woman named SaraaLove. They hit it off and he starts to fall which so was not the plan but then Love disappears and changes her phone number. It’s been five years. He’s tried to move on and yet she still haunts him. But things may change with their company’s new hire 😏

Drake (FMC) decides to apply for a position at Hooked and though she deactivated her account a while ago she is passionate to help them go international. She meets Easton and instantly feels like they have met somewhere or something but she can’t quite figure it out. She definitely shouldn’t be catching feelings for her now boss … could he be Mr. Boston 😯

Enjoyed this start to a new series and cannot wait for book 2! Loved how the first part was all in Easton’s POV. Then, in part two we got Easton and Drake’s POV. Adored them together and when he flew all the way to the west coast to save her reputation *swoon*. These two lit the pages and the plot was phenomenal. Cannot recommend it enough! Releases October 3rd!

Thanks for the ARC Valentinepr and Marni 🥰💗

Mr. Hook-up by Marni Mann is the first book in her new Hooked series and it was a fun and steamy second chance romance. We start when the app Hook was first created as a hook-up app. When Easton matches with username Love, they hit it off and have some great banter and then she disappears. Then we jump 5-years and a new woman enters Easton’s life and the sparks are all there…again.

I loved Easton and Drake so much. They shared crazy chemistry and I loved their back and forth. It was an office romance with a forbidden touch and forced proximity and I loved it and am so excited for the next book in the series.

Happy reading!

Mr. Hook-up by Marni Mann, is the first book in the Hooked Series, here we will meet Easton Jones, who together with his two best friends, while they are studying at Harvard, created an app to make connections without commitment, when Easton creates his profile, this gives him a perfect match, which they know is almost impossible but he is the exception to the rule, when he starts communicating with the girl in the SaarasLove profile the chemistry between them is immediate and something he had never experienced, they achieve meet at a dance but they are wearing masks, after the dance they keep in touch but never seem to have the time or be able to coincide to see each other, until one day she just disappeared, closed her profile and didn't answer anymore. After five years Easton and his friends have made the dating app the number one in the country, which has led them to create a very lucrative company, when among their new employees a girl capture his attention, Drake Madden is beautiful and very intelligent, leaves him completely captivated and they have an incredible chemistry, something that has not happened to him in a long time, when he begins to venture with those feelings towards Drake, the girl from the app who had disappeared contacts him again. This puts him in a big dilemma, because he has a beautiful, sweet and intelligent girl before him and one for whom he kept thinking about the what ifs. Who will he choose? You guys will have to read it to find out.
I loved this story! The author captures us with these new characters from the first page, Easton is wonderful, sweet, respectful, intelligent and sexy. Drake is witty and completely charming, you won't be able to help but fall in love with them. A story that you will enjoy from beginning to end. I already want more of this series. Highly recommended!

OMG Marni does it again!!!

I fell in love with Marni Mann during her Dalton brother series and when she mentioned these characters in there and now they have their own series im all about it. I love all three of the founders of Hooked I can’t even remotely wait for the rest of them. The story was so much fun! I loved the past and present so we got the full glimpse of the relationship. I loved both the main characters so much! And of course the spice was fantastic. Marni is a romance genius and I can’t wait for more by her!

this was a very highly anticipated release for me. i absolutely love marni’s books & this one did not disappoint. easton & drake were such a fun read. i liked the dual timeline & the way the second chance blossomed. workplace romances are my favorite & this one was *elite.* easton & drake had the best banter too. i loved the way he was so confident in her & always let her shine. ugh, it was just excellent & the spice was 🔥🥵. absolutely slayed. i can’t wait to read more in this series!

This was low angst and nice to see the guy fall first. And he was totally all in and never wavered. Enjoyable read and a fun couple, sort of second chance romance slash office vibes.

What happens when a couple of college guys develop a dating app for hooking up? For a one night stand. Nothing serious, no strings attached fun? And what happens when one of them matches up 100% with someone on said app? Well, Mr Boston is about to find out.

'Mr. Boston' and 'Love' match up on Hooked, the guys' dating app they have just started. They talk and have an instant connection all online. Their messages back and forth are filled with lust, chemistry and that je ne sais quoi that people look for in partners. But Mr Boston wasn't looking for more and that's just what he got. Someone that sparks something in him. Love also jumped on for the same reasons. She's also a college student and is traveling a lot and doesn't have time for more than a hook up. SO this app should work for both of them. WRONG! What they find out is they have more in common than they bargained for. Unfortunately, their timing is off and all they get are messages and one very steamy masked night for 15 minutes.

This story is all about instant chemistry, wrong timing and second chances. And you know Marni Mann will totally mess with her readers in one way or another. Boy does she do it with a big time jump after what we thought was just the beginning of something special. Time where are main characters were apart, no longer communicating, but also growing and settling into who they are. Fortunately enough, Love returns back to Boston and the timing just may work out for them. But you won't believe how they connect again.

I'm not usually an instant love type person, but it was the banter for me. I loved seeing the two MCs really connect through words first and then years later returning to one another unexpectedly. Still having that connection they felt all those years ago and not realizing they were one and the same. And although I'm always one for angst, I actually really liked that there was no 3rd act break-up, just drama that may have effected one person's job. The way Easton basically was a superhero and uncovered the truth was totally book boyfriend material.

If you enjoy very steamy second chance romances, with absolutely great banter and a connection that is palpable, you will definitely enjoy Mr Hook-up.

Easton and his friends have created a hook-up app that of course they're testing out themselves. When he matches with someone 100%, he and "Love" meetup for an anonymous/masked encounter that rocks both their worlds. But she disappears and he never sees her again until 5 years later. Now who's his new employee but the 100% match who broke his heart. Though not a good idea, their connection is still strong and they fall back into each other. A second chance could be in their future if workplace drama doesn't create too big an obstacle for them.

Alphas are my kind of men. When they're sweet alphas like Easton?! Even more so! The man is so freaking adorable the way he falls head over heels for Drake, is determined to keep her once she comes back into his life. We would all be so lucky to have someone that intensely in love with us. Workplace romance, no third act breakup, adults who act like adults, sizzling chemistry - this is just the kind of office romance and second chance romance I love most. The Hooked world is one I'm impatient to explore more now.
