EliahnGetting 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 … 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.

I like my H to be a little rough around the edges. Luca was such a nice guy. He was so hot but he never slept with anyone after Eli?
I feel like Luca and Eli’s story was like a fairytale. There was not enough drama for me. I know this is totally a personal preference so with that being said I did enjoy the book. I just wished there was some heartbreaking moment to buildup the story for the HEA.
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
This book is absolutely adorable! It’s such a sweet, romantic, funny and good for your heart and soul book! I enjoyed every word from beginning to end of Luca and Eli’s journey to their HEA! And what a sweet journey it is! Natasha Madison has once again given us a hero to love and admire in Luca. I fell in love with him so easily by the obvious strength of character and devotion he shows. And Eli is just as wonderful. In fact I really liked all the characters in this book. Two people could not be more perfect for each other as Eli and Luca though and I just adore that time didn’t change a thing for them. I truly loved this book! Those last couple of chapters and epilogue had me crying the happiest of tears!
This book was amazing!
I’ve loved Natasha Madison’s writing for what feels like forever and everytime i read a new book written by her it seems to get better and better.
I read the first two books ages ago and was so excited to see there was going to be a book 3! Then i saw the blurb and knew i had to read it!
I love the who secret baby trope so i knew i was going to love this book.
Luca and Eli was perfect together, had the right chemistry, the jokes and it all just tied together in a pretty bow.
Little Aiden was hilarious, the things he came out with, the things he would say with the child innocence around him too had me in stitches!
I loved seeing/hearing about previous characters too!
I have read all the Tempt books in the series. They were the first books that introduced me to the fabulous worlds that Natasha Madison creates. Well, this one surpassed them all. This was a beautiful story, Luca has the most gorgeous character ever. I completely fell in love with him. The bond that exists between him and Eli was truly magical even after seven years. Auden was such a delightful child, his interactions with Luca were marvellous. I don’t do spoilers, read the synopsis and for the love of all holy, buy this book! Another outstanding book from the talented Natasha Madison.

I loved every word of Tempt the Hook-up!!! It is definitely my favorite of all three books!!!
I knew this book was going to be good a.) because Natasha Madison wrote it and b.) it was a second chance romance with a surprise baby, one of my favorite tropes to read about!! I was instantly intrigued after reading the blurb for this book.
Sometimes I love a book that just sucks you in with the storyline and characters. Even though this is low angst and pretty drama free, I still found myself having a hard time putting it down. I would consider this a romantic comedy, because I will tell you I was laughing out loud in quite a few spots.
What I love the most about Natasha’s writing is the variety she gives her readers. She sometimes gives us a story that is all about the emotion and feels, that your heart breaks throughout the story, but she can also switch it up and give us a lighthearted, sexy and fun romantic and swoony story like Tempt the Hook-up.
Tempt the Hook-up is the third book in Natasha Madison’s Tempt Series. It is a complete standalone novel and is told in Dual POV. I loved the flow and pace of the story. Things moved along well and nothing felt forced or rushed. This is the perfect read for a lazy weekend by the fire with your favorite beverage.
In this book we follow the second chance romance between Eliahn Coco and Luca DiMarco. These character met when they were 19/20 years old and in college. They bump into each other on a 4 day booze cruise and agree to enjoy themselves, but with no last names. Little did either of them know that, that 4 days would completely change their lives. Eliahn found herself pregnant and alone at 19, so she decided to take an opportunity in Paris. Now 7 years later she has decided to come home and raise her son around family. Little did she know that at her welcome home party she would come face to face with Luca. Luca DiMarco is an up and coming attorney. He lives for his career, but has never been able to forget his 4 day fling with Eliahn. So when he is invited to a welcome home party for his bosses daughter, he can refuse. Little did he that party would change his life!!
I loved the secondary characters we met throughout this story. Luca’s friends from college were a hoot and I loved the bond these guys had. I also liked seeing Noah and Lauren again in this book. It was nice seeing characters from the first two books. They added enough to this story, but not enough to spoil their books, if you haven’t read them yet.
If you are looking for a book that is sexy, sweet, swoony, and a second chance romance that will melt your heart, then this is the book to read. I can recommend this book/series enough. This is the lighter side to Natasha Madison’s writing and I think all romance readers would enjoy these stories.
This book was devoured before anything else was done. Anytime I read a book by Natasha, I know I am in for a treat. What happens when you happen to run into your hookup years later only to realize your now neighbors? Loved it!
This is a second chance romance, as well as a lovers-to-friends romance. 😉 They met while on a cruise 7 years prior not knowing each other’s last names. A coincidence brings them together years later, but that isn’t the only surprise meeting. Luca is everything you’d want in a man. He may be possessive, but he isn’t smothering. He is smoking hot, but doesn’t use his looks to get things (including women… he isn’t a playboy.) He has a heart of gold and isn’t afraid to show it. He takes control of his responsibilities no matter the cost, and without blinking an eye. Eli is just about his equal in all things. She too takes care of her responsibilities without fuss. Has a kind heart and while she has reason to be worried about the future, she doesn’t use her fears against him. These two mesh so perfectly together… you’re almost waiting for the bomb to drop. There is a lot of humor throughout. If you have read the previous books in the Tempt series, you will see some familiar faces… but each can be read as a stand alone. Each features a different couple. The sexual content is limited, but there is some there (nothing overly graphic, but there is a little bit of heat.) There is also a lot of laughs during some of those scenes! 😀 There are a couple ‘almost needing a Kleenex’ moments, as well as a few ‘Awww’ scenes. It alternates between POVs. It’s a well told story that is easy to read, and keeps you entertained.
*I received an ARC of this book.
It all started seven years ago on a 4 day booze cruise. Who knew that one encounter would change Luca DiMarco and Eliahn “Eli” Cocos’ lives forever. Luca is a lawyer with Coco & Assoc. He is considered the stable, reasonable one of his friends. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to be in the predicament he got himself in for letting loose on one trip. Too bad for him that’s all it takes, but when he finds out who Eli really is what will he do? What can he do, his new neighbor and boss’s daughter just happens to be the very same girl he met & apparently made another human with!! Can they find a way to co parent or will unresolved feelings for each other come back into the fold? This was a hilarious romantic comedy about an accidental pregnancy, finding that one person and trying to find a way to make it work. Aiden is an adorable 6 yr old boy and loved to embarrass his parents! Luca and Eli are magic together. I loved all the funny and sweet moments together. A very enjoyable read from the very beginning! Told in dual POV
