Hookups weren’t for her.Rachel knew that. She was a good girl—sigh—she’d always been a good girl.Except when it came to him.She’d met the him in question in a bar of all places and his lean strength, gorgeous face, and way-too-charming personality had combined to shatter her defenses. All of a sudden she’d been doing all of those “dangerous, bad girl” things her grandmother had once warned her of. grandmother had once warned her of.
And just like her grandma had predicted, he’d vanished come morning.
No note. No exchanged numbers. She hadn’t even known his name.
Fine. Whatever. Rachel had chalked it up to a horrible—albeit, wholly pleasurable—mistake and moved on. She was the assistant to Heather O’Keith, a kick ass, take-no-prisoners CEO of a billion dollar corporation, she didn’t have time to sit around and worry over a man.
But then Heather had gotten her happily ever after by marrying equally successful business entrepreneur, Clay Steele, and Rachel discovered that she had to work in close, day-to-day contact with him.
Sebastian Henley. The man from the bar. The sexy, gorgeous, irresistible disappearing man from the bar.
And he still made her want to do bad, bad things.

Rachel was absolutely endearing! After physical abuse from her father during the few months she had to see him to the mental abuse she received from her grandparents the rest.

When she finally gets the chance to escape the abuse she gets as far away as the can and starts a new life. Enter dreamy sweet caring Sebastian who has a one night stand with Rachel never exchanging names or numbers. Till their bosses fall for each other and get married. Rachel and Sebastian run into each other at the wedding and exchange some words. Rachel fights the feeling she has for Sebastian because of her past unsure if she can let a man into her life after what she experienced.
Elise Faber is a new to me Author and far exceeded any expectations I could have had! Can’t wait to read more of her work!
I received a review copy of the book before release for an honest review.
This is book 4 in the series and the series is still pretty fun and magical. It actually brings together two of the authors series so I actually stopped reading midway so I could read book 3 in this series and also the novella about Clay’s brother who is seen in this story with his wife.
While this is book 4, and it can stand alone, you really should at least read book 3 as that really introduces all the players in this story.
Book 3 stars Clay Steele and Heather, a couple that ends up hitched in Vegas and they are business adversaries. They each have assistants and Heather’s assistant is Rachel and Clay’s is Sebastien. This story starts at Clay and Heather’s wedding and the two form a friendship and a business relationship and romance because of their bosses.
In this story we really learn who Rachel is and she is smart and a fighter and she is married in this story. I am spoiling that because its a big deal to some and she has sex with Seb while married. But Rachel has the worst ex ever and she is just about to be divorced. So this story has so BIG drama relating to her ex and I am nots spoiling that.
This was a fun story with lots of drama and some wonderful and strong characters.
Easy to read, characters quick to fall in love.
I have loved all the books in this series so far, this was no exception. Great characters and great storyline Loved it
Enjoyed this book very much. So much o I bought the next one. Bad Divorce! Likely going back for the earlier books in this series.
Elsie Faber has been an author on my radar for awhile, I just haven’t had a chance to read any of her books, so when given an ARC copy of Bad Hookup I jumped right it. I am so happy that I did, I loved this book! This is Rachel and Sebastian’s story and while very emotional(I cried in some scenes) it was a great read. Rachel is coming out of an abusive marriage and Sebastian is a guy she has a one night fling with, and as circumstances play out they are now connected because their bosses met and fell in love! While Rachel and Sebastian are building on their one night fling they are both dealing with inner turmoil. Rachel dealing with the scars left behind of her abusive husband and Sebastian dealing with his own self esteem, they are both so relate-able. Throw in the dialogue from Rachel’s group of girlfriends and this book is a total winner! I swear reading the banter between all of the girls in group sounded like my own group of friends! The story was well paced and the characters well developed. I loved it! Now I have to go and read the rest of the books in the series!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this deeply emotional read. The story quickly captured my attention and it was easy for me to connect with the characters. I loved Rachel and Sebastian. They were so perfect for each other. Each character had their own issues and baggage, which is something I always like in a book. Beautiful, heart aching and heart melting, this was wonderful read.
Rules are meant to be followed or else hearts are bound to be broken. For Rachel those are words to live by. Life has not always been kind and love has bruised a lot more than her heart. Sebastian could be just the distraction she needs to heal her fragile soul. One night of unbridled pleasure leads to a disappointing morning after. Will the sting of the morning after, deter these wounded hearts from taking a chance on love? Bad Hookup goes beyond the sexy. Faber paints a tale of heartbreak that wraps around a heart. Spice is nice, but love is so much more.
That was an extremely sweet but heartbreaking short read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It breaks my heart to think that there are people out there who think they have the right to not only hurt but control another person, especially one who isn’t mentally or physically strong. It was because of this that my heart broke for Rachel. I loved the support group she had, especially in Sebastian (Bas). Speaking of Bas, I loved him. He was sweet, kind, caring, and willing to do anything to make Rachel happy. He was perfect for her and fell into her life at the right moment. I’m so glad these two found each other. I think Rachel could have easily survived with Bas but I know she gave him the added strength that she needed to fight for herself. This was a great story and I’m glad I got a chance to read it. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*
This was a short, mostly sweet read. I usually love my OTT alpha males but I found Bas to be so sweet and adorable and I loved it!
Even though I didn’t feel like this could be read as a standalone story, I really enjoyed this book. I liked all of the characters and the storyline. Sebastian and Rachel’s flirting was cute with all their texting and stuff. This book kept me interested and was sadly over before I was ready to say goodbye to Sebastian and Rachel.
This is the first book in this series that I’ve read and I loved it! It was amazing! It was beautifully written with fantastic characters! I loved Sebastian and Rachel! They were perfect together! I loved the chemistry between them! It was a great story and I look forward to reading the rest of the series!
