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.

great read. Wish I could say something about it, but that would ruin it. Just a really fun read.
I enjoyed it so much, I bought the whole series!
Enjoyed this. Quick fun read
Anything Natasha write is wonderful!!
Entertaining
Light read. Liked happy ever after ending. Somewhat predictable.
Predictable and frankly a little boring. I fast forwarded to the end to see if I was missing something
I read this in one day. I think 7 years is unrealistic about a man going with out sex other than that it’s a good story
This book was great. There were places I laughed so hard I was crying.
Luca is awesome. Gentleman with enough alpha to be sexy and in charge. Eli is cool and love that she taught Aiden French and English as a kid. They have a romance worthy romance complete with seven year separation due to extenuating circumstances. But they work so well together. Wow I called that little surprise in the end but it was perfect and adorable.
09/17/2020 “Tempting the Hookup” (nook) was not quite what I was expecting. It was a different perspective on hook-ups and eventual reunions – with, of course, a surprise child for the man. I was touched by the fact that neither Luca nor Eliahn wanted anyone else during their seven years apart. That’s not a portrayal that I expected but it was good.
There were a few editing errors and, at times, the sentences were overlong. Still, a good read.
Such a good romantic easy read. Love all the characters. Absolutely love Aiden. Luca and Eli have such a romantic relationship. It’s a bit tamer then the other books by this authentic just as good.
Okay, I never thought I would write: After I peed in my pants with laughter, I just used the bathroom every 10 minutes–just in case! This is undoubtedly the most hilarious book I have ever read, and I am an addict of comedic romance. I’m not going to give anything away. Read it and find out for yourself.
Loved this book. What a great story and great characters
Loved this book – a light, entertaining story. If you enjoy Happy endings this story fills that bill for sure.
Wow! I totally loved this story. It was filled with so much emotion and so much fun. It was a book that I could not put down.
Natasha never seems to stop surprising me with her amazing words!!! Like I can’t get enough of them!! And lord Luca was like any I’ve read before and I dub him as mine all mine!!! And first let me say I love the name Eliahn and second let me say I love her character and how strong of a woman it took for her to do what she did. The dynamics of this book between the romance with that touch of comedy is my favorite to read and Natasha has a grasp on that so much. I’m also like can I please have some more!!! I would read anything this woman writes. So go buy this book I highly recommend it!!!

I have been a Natasha Madison fan since I read her Something So series (which I have to finish, btw…) So, when I had a chance to read Tempt the Hookup, I had to take it! I am so glad that I did. I completely binge read the entire Tempt series! So good!!
In Tempt the Hookup we finally get Luca’s story!! We have seen Luca in and out of the Tempt series. I knew that I would love his story. His story is a second change love story. He runs back into his “booze cruise hookup” whom he compares all other women to. So much so that he doesn’t even have another relationship. The problem… she just happens to be his bosses’ daughter.
Elliahn Coco has spent the past few years in Paris. She is final home with her daughter. Problem is, her daughter happens to be Luca’s!
NO PROBLEMS, RIGHT?!?!
I loved seeing Luca & Elliahn work out the co-parenting thing. Or should I say that it was fun watching Luca take over their lives! He was a fantast dad in every way. It was also fun to see him put Elliahn and their daughter first in every aspect of his life even if she is the bosses’ daughter.
If you get a chance, read this entire series in one setting. It’s better that way. You won’t regret it!

Natasha Madison has become one of my favorite authors! I actually laugh out loud while reading her books! Pure entertainment!
Tempt the Hookup by Natasha Madison is a sweet, light and no-angst romantic comedy. This is a second chance love story with a surprise pregnancy as a result of a 4 days booze cruise. As soon as I’ve read the intriguing blurb I knew that I needed to get my hands on this book asap! Natasha knows how to deliver an entertaining read with funny, sexy and very touching moments while making you hopelessly and irrevocably fall for her charming characters. This book is best savored with hot chocolate and a warm blanket. It will give you all the cozy and content feelings.
Luca, who is a Harvard graduate and partner in a huge law firm, attends the welcome back party of his boss’ daughter. Never could he have expected that she is the gorgeous young woman he once met at a booze cruise. He has never forgotten her and the amazing time they’ve spent together. Imagine his surprise when he sees her holding a small boy’s hand who looks like her but has his eyes. Luca immediately knows that he is his son.
Eliahn has been in Paris for six years after finding out that she is pregnant after a cruise hook-up. Since the only thing she knew about the father of her child was his name – Luca – she had to raise him all on her own. Now she is back home and wants to start anew with her parents’ support. But the universe has other ideas when she meets her baby daddy at a party organised in her honor. And he’s now staring knowingly at their little son.
On top of that it turns out that they are neighbors and now have to find out how to co-parent Aiden. This is definitely going to be a huge challenge on both sides since the strong pull they once felt between them is still very present and tempting. Luca once made the mistake of letting her go but now he will do anything in order to make her his.
The chemistry between Luca and Eli was off the charts hot. It’s going to melt your e-reader ladies! They instinctively knew from the first moment they’ve met that what they feel for each other is something special. But they were young, naive and labeled is as a once in a lifetime experience. I loved that they behaved like reasonable adults by wanting to give Aiden a healthy, happy and loving environment to grow. Their interactions with their kid put a huge smile on my face and made my heart melt. They were a wonderful family.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this book and therefore recommend it to all fans of this particular genre. Natasha truly did a good job with this story and I can’t wait to see what she has next in tow for us. I’m giving Tempt the Hookup 4 twinkling stars.
