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 adore Natasha Madison! I first found her a few years ago when I read the blurb for book 1 in this series and had to one-click. I laughed and swooned the whole way through. Then again in book 2. Now in book 3 Luca, Eli and Aiden steal the show! Secret babies are my jam so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this story and I savored every word!
All the impeccable written humor and banter I’ve come to love in this author’s work had me smiling while I read. These characters are fantastic. Luca had me melting in to a pile of goo. He’s everything I could want in an book boyfriend! Smart, successful, well endowed and holding out for the one woman he has compared every other woman to for the last 7 years. AND yet he still looks for her in every room he enters. Gah my ovaries exploded. Eli is strong, independant and a completely lovable heroine. These two together created the sweetest little human being, Aiden. When these characters cross paths, the story that unfolds is so enjoyable. I was rooting for them the whole way. Their families were great supporting characters as well as Luca’s friends. Never a dull moment. Always witty and entertaining. Just an all around feel good rom-com adventure!
Eli and Noah…second chance. The kind that leaves butterflies when you are reading it and a warm contented feeling. The characters are written in a way that I really want to live next door to them…super funny, sometimes awkward, and totally loyal. This is a low angst second chance that you will find you rooting for the characters in the end. There were even some very laugh out loud moments that make this book oh so fun to read….waxing and mosquito bites two of my favorites. This is a book that I would reach for again!
I loved Tempt the Hookup!!
Luca and Eliahn(Eli) met on a four day booze cruise. They only exchanged first names and it was just supposed to be a fling. Alas, Eli left with more than she arrived with. Fate steps in…seven years later, and they are reunited. I really enjoyed this storyline, it was a little different than the usual surprise pregnancy. This book checks all the boxes. It’s the perfect mix of sweet, swoony, steamy and once again Natasha Madison wove some literal laugh out loud moments.
This is yet another fantastic story from Natasha Madison’s Tempt series and wow,what a great book.
Luca and Eli are a fantastic couple who find each other again after 7 years apart.When they hooked up on a booze cruise 7 years earlier all they knew about each other was their first names and although Luca tried to find her, without a surname he had no luck.
Their story is beautiful and the interactions of their friends and family are hysterical.
Aiden is an absolute sweetheart who definitely steals the show.
This was so good I couldn’t put it down and stayed up all night to finish it.
Come sit, let me tell you about a book.
Tempt the Hookup by Natasha Madison is the third book in the Tempt series. Oh don’t worry it’s a stand alone.
This one will have you swooning, laughing and leave you wanting more. Plus, this dude, Luca will get your heart racing! Sit back, relax and enjoy a second chance romance with ALL the feels!!
Tempt the Hookup is captivating. A booze cruise, steamy nights, and chemistry so hot it could start a fire. Luca and Eliahn get a second chance at love years later after their cruise. The only difference is she has a precocious 6 year old son. Between time lost, jealousy and misunderstandings, can these two make it to end line together? This book was sweet, touching, sexy, funny and heart warming. I enjoyed this book very much. Great story, fantastic characters and a scene stealing little boy make this book pure magic.
Tempt the Hookup is the third book in the Tempt Series, and as usual Natasha has outdone herself!! I loved everything about this book, the characters were PHENOMENAL…starting with Luca and Eli and little Aiden, to both sets of parents. Luca and Eli meet and hook up on a booze cruise and spend 4 amazing days together….fast forward 7 years and Luca is at a barbeque at his bosses house when he meets his daughter and grandson….Eli and Aiden, needless to say Luca is surprised to see the girl he spent those few days with again, and stunned to see she has a son!! What follows is a lot of talking, getting to know each other again, and so many laugh out loud moments. Y’all really need to read this book, you will love Natasha as much as I do, and you have soooo many amazing books to read, and love on!! Thank you Natasha for another amazing story!!
4.5 Stars ~
Luka is to attend a garden party and learns it’s in honour of his boss’ daughter returning from France. It’s not what he’d planned for his Sunday and he wasn’t banking on getting the shock of his life either. The beauty he’d hooked up with on unforgettable weekend cruise years back is in front of his very own eyes; however, there’s a little boy stood next to her with his same eyes as him. They discover that they’re to be neighbours and whilst they do the sensible thing in co-parenting, Luka can’t help his feelings towards Eliahn. He wants to rekindle their romance and see where things head. She haunted his every thought and he would want nothing more than to make it permanent.
Eliahn didn’t think she’d end up pregnant on a boozy weekend cruising six years ago. Her parents weren’t happy with her predicament. so she uprooted her life to Paris, but she finally felt ready to come home. This single mum had worked hard to bring up her son but couldn’t contact the father because all she knew about him was his name. After returning home, her life is turned upside down when Luka comes crashing back into her life. Now she has to explain the pretty obvious circumstances of their weekend together. Luca is a caring alpha, very sensuous and he really stepped up to the plate as a father which impressed me no end. Eliahn’s strong and level-headed but I think she had to grow up too fast when becoming a mother at such a young age
As events unfolded and what seemed like a multitude of comedy errors, I couldn’t help belly laughing at the two protagonists. Some of the situations were hilarious and the supporting characters added to the hilarity of the situation. There is one incident that made me howl loudly but I’m not going to give it away. Readers will have to pick up the book and find out for themselves. At times, I thought the story was a tad repetitive; nonetheless, the fact that the characters are so lovable and the chemistry hotness and comedy gold, it was still an enjoyable read.
There are some misunderstandings along the way that had me telling them to talk as if they could hear me. I was pretty invested in the story wanting to know where their lives would ultimately end up. Some swoon-worthy moments, a son who’s such a funny little guy, this lighthearted read is well put together and very one-clickable.
Love Natasha’s Madison’s writing, love this series and love Eli and Luca. Loved Luca’s alpha role in this book. He takes responsibility, has never gotten over Eli and she has never gotten over him.
I love how Natasha Madison sets a story up, I get addicted! This book gives all the feels, the guys are so funny, the chemistry of Eli and Luca is incredible, the love of their son… amazing!! It’s all I hope for when I read a book! Thank you for that Natasha Madison!
I am a huge fan of Natasha Madison, and this one had all the elements I love about her books. Passion, a little bit of drama, humor and a steamy romance between two characters that you will fall in love with.
Eliahn and Luca intitally meet on a cruise ship, and hookup for a few nights of passion. They expect it to be with no strings attached but fate had other plans. Eliahn finds out she is pregnant and has no way of contacting Luca to let him know. Then bam, they meet again 7 years later and Luca is meeting his mini me for the first time, and his world is ROCKED. Luca could never seem to forget Eliahn, and now that she has re-entered his life and he is attempting to co-parent he can’t seem to do it without his heart getting involved with her too.
I LOVED that this story is low angst and low drama, both characters are so adult about the co-parenting, it was a refreshing change from some other accidential pregnency books i’ve read in the past, and the humor! I laughed out loud so many times, just like the other two books Tempt the Boss, and Tempt the Playboy. Note that Tempt the Hookup is a complete stand-alone but you will appreciate it so much more if you read the other 2 books first.
I loved their son, Aiden. He was so accepting of Luca, and I loved their connection as they get to know each other. Super sweet!
It was extremely fast paced but I still loved it and highly recommend you pick this one up.
**ARC received in exchange of an honest review.
When Luca went on the 4 day booze cruise with his buddies, he never expected to find ‘The One’. But after agreeing not to exchange details, they know they’ll never see each other again, right?
Wrong.
Fast forward 6 years. Luca goes to a party hosted by his boss, only to run into HER. And she’s not alone, she’s holding the hand of the most gorgeous little boy he’s ever seen…and he has Lucas eyes…
What do you do when you find out you fathered a child on said booze cruise, and that the object of your affection is YOUR BOSSES DAUGHTER?
What happens when you finally find the one woman you’ve compared every other girl to since that amazing weekend all those years ago?
You go all in.
This book is a gorgeous story full of second chances, laugh out loud moments and some massive swooning as we follow Luca and Eliahn on their journey to to rediscover each other while learning to co-parent their awesome super-hero loving son! The supporting characters were hilarious and had me crying with laughter on many occasions, as did both Luca and Eliahns personal mishaps!!!
With hints of Tempt the Boss, I absolutely adored this book! I finished it with the biggest cheesiest grin on my face. If you want a heart-warning, funny, sweet and sexy read I highly recommend it!
5 Swoony stars!!!
Tempt the Hookup is the 3rd book in the Tempt series but can be read as a complete standalone.
Lucca is the straightlaced, workaholic out of all his friends. After a booze cruise 7 years ago he graduated from Harvard law and focused on becoming a successful lawyer. With barely any time for a social life, he’s all but given up on dating and instead just dreaming of the girl he met on the cruise and never found again.
After a whirlwind fling on a cruise ship, Eliahn discovered she was pregnant and ran off to Paris to escape her disapproving parents. Six years later she’s back and shocked to discover the man she met all those years ago at her welcome home party.
Second chance love and instant family, this is a sweet, fun & flirty story with zero drama or angst. It’s a quick and easy read, and I really enjoyed Lucca & Eli’s story
Another great read from Natasha in her Tempt series, this was witty, funny, sexy and romantic with no major drama, definitely a book to curl up on the sofa with and get stuck in to!
Luca and Ali meet on a 4 night booze cruise, and only knew each other’s first names, agreeing that they needed to exchange nothing more and just enjoy their days together. Luca tries his best to find her after their cruise, wanting to continue the relationship but to no avail. Luca goes on to be a lawyer being married to the job.
Ali ended up pregnant from her cruise and moved to Paris, raising her son on her own for the next 6 years. But she is returning home, back to her parents, who throw her a big welcome home party, where she bumps into Luca…..
These two have so much chemistry together, whew!! Throw in the antics and banter of a fantastic 6 year old Aiden and you have a winning combination! A fab read you won’t want to miss.
I fell so hard for Luca and Eliahn’s story! I found myself easily lost in their story and didn’t put it down until I was finished. Who knew a booze cruise would change their lives forever? They agreed no last names, nothing past the length of their time on the cruise. Years later and their reencounter is not either one of them anticipated!! This is a must read!!!!
Tempt the Hookup was sweet, swoony, humorous and romantic as can be. I have to say that I read this book in one sitting as it just had me hooked throughout. This was a real feel good read that left me with a cheesy smile at the end. Lucas and Elihan had great chemistry and a couple you will really want to get behind. I loved that it was angst free and that Lucas was just a great guy. Natasha Madison once again delivers a really enjoyable romantic comedy and I for one would be happy to recommend this stand alone read.
This book is one of the sweetest that I have read in a long time. If you loved the first two books in this series Tempt Boss and Tempt the Playboy then you definitely are gonna love this one.
Luca and Eliahn are to cute together and their chemistry is off the charts. Add in their little boy Aiden and Luca friends and you get a get romcom. That’s what I love about Natasha, her humor isn’t forced and she makes you feel like you are part of the story.
Natasha Madison has brought second chance romance/single mom to an entirely new level with Tempt the Hookup. I fell hard for Luca and Eli’s story and read the entire book in one evening! I enjoyed how fate stepped in and brought them from the booze cruise to co-parenting in which they handled flawlessly. It was nice to read a book with a guy who steps up to take care of what’s his, there was no unnecessary drama to be had, and families that did nothing but show love and support. It’s very hard to find a book like that anymore but I’ll tell you, the author delivered!!
I love that there were hilarious moments thrown in with some HOT sexy times and I really loved the family/friends aspect of this story. This is my first book in the Tempt Series and I will be going back for the rest of them this weekend!
*4,5 stars*
I’ve really enjoyed reading this book. A fun flirty story that will no doubt pull on every heartstring! Definitely loved the chemistry between the two lead characters.
I actually would’ve liked a bit of more epilogue in the end but that’s just me personally 🙂
When Eliahn returns home after living in France for a couple of years, she never thought she would be standing in front of the one person she’d never thought she’d see again. Even though she’s changed a lot over the years and does everything for her son Aiden, she never forgot about Luca and the moments they shared years ago but everything has changed… When Luca goes to the party of his boss, he never thought he would see the woman again he has been searching for since the last day he saw her. Never did he imagine she would the daughter of his boss but when he finds out that she’s a single mom, everything in that moment changes for him and he’ll do everything he can to be there for both of them. Will Eliahn let him back into her heart? And will they both get the happy ending they both deserve?…
Another awesome read by Natasha. This one has absolutely no drama. Just a sweet love story – start to finish. A great HEA.
Eliahn and Luca meet on a booze cruise… a Carnival cruise in fact. Carnival Destiny to be exact. (I found this funny since we love Carnival cruises!)
Fast forward 7 years and Luca sees Eliahn at his boss’ house. She is his boss’ daughter! And she had his baby! He didn’t even know she was pregnant. You know, since they only exchanged first names. Yikes!
I greatly recommend this one. It is book 3 in the series. However, each book features a different couple and each can be read on their own.
One click this one!
Gah!! Luca is SWOON CITY!! I totally understand how Eli couldn’t resist him. Aiden is so cute and funny, the perfect little boy. This book made me laugh out loud at times and was just absolutely perfect.
