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.

Another book by this author that I absolutely devoured. I never get sleep when I have a book by this author. This one was sweet and fun and would make anyone feel a little heartbeat in their ovaries. This was a second chance at the one that got away. This is the third book in the series but can be a complete stand-alone, but for a pee in your pants laugh I recommend the first two. Luca is an attorney that is just rocked by seeing his hookup again after 7 years at his boss’s daughter’s welcome home party. No other girl has lived up and made him feel like Eli did that week on the booze cruise. With no contact or last names given out he searched but never found her. Eli ran off to Paris to school and becomes a single Mom to Aiden As soon as Luca sees Eli holding Aiden’s hand he knows he left more than Eli behind.
Luca is so freaking yummy he never doubts and mans ups so hard. Luca and his friends are so funny you will crack up the entire read. Swooning so much for this couple.
On your march get set, romance. Tempt the Hookup is a barrel of laughs that borders on temptation and catalogs in at irresistible. Eli and Luca have history. One HOT fling leads to six years of radio silence that culminates into a shocking reveal. Prepare for the hookup that comes back and bites you in the heart.
This was a book that I have been waiting for ever since I found out about it. The first two books in this series are two of my favorite ROMCOMs. I just knew that this one was going to be just as funny, if not funnier than the first two. Yes Lauren and Austin’s story had me from the chapter 1. And Noah and Kaleigh’s story had me laughing from all the stuff Noah had to say. So I just couldn’t wait to see what Luca an Eliahn had in store. Especially since there’s a secret child.
The wait for this book was well worth it. And I loved the laugh out loud moments that were from beginning to end. I cannot say one thing bad about this book. Especially since quite a lot of the funniest moments were ones that couples with kids either fear or have had it happen to them
I loved this story! It’s a little different from what I’ve read by this author. It doesn’t have an angsty plot or broken characters or alpha males, just a straightforward story about a young couple who hooked up in a booze cruise, said goodbye and meet up again six years later. The funny part is that there’s a child involved, and she’s the daughter of his boss. A mess, indeed! And so entertaining, too.
When Luca Dimarco was twenty years old and a Harvard Law student, he attended a four-day booze cruise with his best friends, Nick, Jason and Tom. During that cruise he met Eli and fell in love. They hooked up ALL during the cruise. Yet, they abided by the rules of the cruise, only shared first names, no other personal information. At the end of the cruise, they said goodbye but Luca felt a huge emptiness inside. He tried to find her last name and address but it was kept confidential by the cruise company. So, he’s spent six years working in Coco and Associates, the city’s best law firm, going up to become a junior partner. He’s making tons of money but can’t seem to find a woman who captures his attention like Eli did.
When Luca’s boss’ daughter comes back from six years living in Paris, the boss throws her a welcome party and invites all of his senior and junior partners. Imagine Luca’s surprise when he finds out that the daughter is his long-lost love Eli and that they have a six year old son, Aiden. There’s another incredible coincidence that is revealed later and you have to read the book to find out.
From here on out, we have a beautiful slow burn love story. Luca is an honorable man, he steps up and takes on responsibility for his son. He wants to pay up and make up for all the years he missed, and he wanted to get closely involved in Aiden’s life from now on. He also wanted to get up close and personal with Eli, whose real name is Eliahn Coco, whom he hasn’t forgotten in all these years and for whom he has been yearning all this time. Eliahn had never forgotten Luca and raised her son knowing about his father. Aiden is a delightful little boy who loves everyone and is constantly hungry. He’s a lucky boy because apart from now having a mommy and daddy, he has grandparents from both sides whose only quest is to spoil him and feed him cookies. He actually has to compete with one of his grandfathers for the cookies!
Apart from the difficult times about facing the parents, adjusting to a new life, and finding out if they still have their old feelings, this story had some hilarious moments that liven the story a lot, like when Luca got an allergic reaction to a face cream and his friend Nick uploaded a video with his deformed face and it became viral. Another funny instance I loved was when Luca and Eliahn were about to get sexy busy and Aiden stole the shot and got into bed, wanting to sleep with Mommy and Daddy. We also get appearances from Noah and Lauren, from the previous Tempt books, which is great fun.
This book was a delight to read, and I loved all the characters, but mostly Luca’s mother who is a typical Italian mother, spoiling her family with lots of pasta and baked goodies. It made me constantly hungry as I read the book!
Oh these two were super perfect for each other! Can we say sweet alpha-male? Can we say strong independent woman? How about a no-filter six year old? Grandparents who dote and are parents who may overshare a little bit? It is a tempt book, so there is that over the top wacky best friend, with his perfectly matched wife, and then a couple more zany friends for added hilarity.
The root though, the base, is two people who connected on a physical, and emotional level, long ago. They held their agreement, and realized the second it was done, they were wrong. Nobody has compared since, and nobody measures up to them. No hesitation when they are finally reunited, just some misunderstandings to wade through first
I laughed, I teared up, I cheered, I cringed, I squirmed, and I loved every single thing about Luca and Eli’s story!
I LOVED this book. The characters had me falling in love within the first few pages and I dare anyone to read this and not fall madly in love with Luca. Sweet lord this guy *fans self* He is the most perfect book boyfriend ever written. EVER! The guy hasn’t got a single fault as far as I’m concerned. Him and Eli are so right together. The chemistry between them, the respect they show each other, the maturity they show, it’s all perfect.
Natasha Madison has been a must read author for me for a while now and this is another brilliant example of why. Like all her books it has the right balance of emotion and humour, characters that aren’t only easy to like but that are so easy to relate to aswell and a story that’s pretty much impossible to put down. A definite must read!
I’m ashamed to say that this is the first book by Natasha Madison I have read. I’ve seen her books around but never picked one up.
I fell in love with these characters, all of them even the secondary characters and Eli and Luca’s parents. Eli and Luca are perfect for each other in every way, and I loved watching their relationship develop. Their chemistry was off the charts hot. I love how Luca was with Aiden, he jumped into the parent role straight away and did everything he could for his kid. I loved Aiden’s timing with shouting mom or dad because it’s exactly right.
The story was really enjoyable, one of those that you find yourself just smiling at at every chapter. I ended up reading it in 1 sitting. I just couldn’t get enough of these characters. It was such a fun read.
I’m definatley looking forward to reading more books from this author!
Tempt The Hookup is book three in the series but can be read as a standalone. I really loved it. It was a sweet rom com read! I loved loved Luca and Eliahn. The chemistry and connection was amazing. They were scorching and perfect together! Aiden was a cute kid! Definitely recommend this!
Tempt The HookUp is my first book in the Tempt Me series by Natasha Madison. It’s sweet and funny, full of heart and flowers and no angst. It’s not quite a slow burner, but as a second chance romance, the two characters already know each other. As well as you can after four days anyway.
Eli and Luca met on a booze cruise seven years ago. They hooked up for four days of fun and decided not to tell each other their full names.
Neither wanted to leave the other at the end of the trip, but they did. They took each other’s hearts with them, but unbeknownst to Eli, she took something else as well.
When they are accidentally reunited, Luca has a shock in store for him. Eli has a son… and he’s Luca’s.
Luca is a sweet and sexy, protective alpha, but not in a beat his chest way, which is just as well. Eli has been on her own for over six years and in a foreign country to boot. It’s only because she missed home that they met again. So, Luca could have made her wary of him if he’d been a big. Broody grunting male. Thankfully he wasn’t.
In most books, this scenario would be a cause for fights and recriminations, not to mention threats of custody battles. But, Eli and Luca just knew… they were meant to be.
The book follows their sweet, somewhat sexy relationship. I say somewhat because they are seriously blocked from smexy times by their adorable son, Aiden. This little chap played a huge part in the story as did the parents of both Luca and Eli. Add in their crazy, sassy friends and you’ve got it all. It’s a truly family-orientated story and one I thoroughly loved. I read it in one sitting, it a quick read and un-put-downable. I could have read much more about them and was sad when it all ended. Still, I’m sure there’s more on the way, so for now, I’ll have to be satisfied with what I have.
Tempt The Hookup by Natasha Madison is the third book in the Tempt Me series and can be read as a stand-alone. It tells the story of Luca and Eli and pulls you in from the first page.
Luca and Eli met 7 years ago on a booze cruise and unbeknownst to Luca she became pregnant and had a child. 7 years later he is a junior partner at her father’s law firm and they run into each other at a party.
The two navigate co-parenting, but also can’t resist their attraction, which hasn’t waned since they met all those years ago. Their son Aiden is such a wonderful addition to the story line and you have to chuckle at some of his comments.
Natasha Madison is a great story teller. This book did not have any angst and was a joy to read. I can’t wait for her next release.
This 4 star story is a sweet and enjoyable experience. A page turner that kept me reading for hours on out.
Luca and Eli see each other again after 7 years. 7 years ago they met on a cruise and then parted ways. Neither had forgotten each other.
This was a low key, angst free romantic sweet story. Great characters that made me love them. Once i started, I had to see the end. This the third book in The Tempt series, but be rest assured, it can be read a s standalone.
Told in a dual POV with an HEA. I recommend this story.
If you enjoy a sweet, fun, easy to enjoy romance story then Tempt the Hookup is perfect for you! Eli and Luca are going to melt your heart as their separate journeys finally merge back together after seven years!
Seven long years they each waited and hoped to find the other. Not knowing each other’s name made the task of locating each other near impossible, but when fate put them back in each other’s paths the draw they felt for each other was even stronger. Now, they also have more than just each other this time around, they have a son!
I enjoyed this book so much I couldn’t put it down! You will love all the characters in this one, especially the son Aiden! Get read to laugh out loud, I sure did! 5 amazing laughing stars for this one!
Meet Luca, lawyer, working for the best law firm in the city. When he’s invited to his boss’s daughters welcome home party, the last thing he’s thinking is that the daughter is his hookup from a booze cruise he and his friends did six years ago!
Elihan returns home with her son, he father goes overboard with a huge party to celebrate, and when she see’s Aiden’s father there, she can’t believe her eyes!
These two have a chemistry and their banter with each other, as well as their son, their friends and family, omg you will love this whole crew! Grab this asap!
It amazes me just how ‘readable’ everything that Natasha Madison writes, actually is!
Not only does she give us kick a**, swoon worthy heroes and the sassy women who win their hearts but she also gives us a story worth reading.
Although I loved Luca and Eli, Aiden stole the show! Alongside a pair of wonderfully supportive families who embrace additions to their family unconditionally, it makes my heart sing to believe there are good people like this in the world, even if they are fictional!
Additional humour is of course provided by Luca’s buddies. Who doesn’t love a bit of college buddy style humour?
All in all, another ‘not to be missed’ addition to the Natasha Madison catalogue.
This book has all the feels you want and expect in a five star read, Natasha Madison has once again given us a book with characters you can’t help falling in love with as well as giving us a story that draws you in and captivates from the first line to the final word.
Eliahn is a single mum doing the best for her 6 year old son Aiden and when she returns home after living in Paris for 6 years the last thing she expects is to come face to face with her sons father….
Luca never expected to see the woman he hooked up with all those years ago, after all he tried to track her down with no success and now not only is she home but she also has a lot more than just memories from that night of passion they shared on that booze cruise….
This book ticked all my boxes, I laughed, I cried and I swooned and I fell big time for Luca and Eliahn and let’s not forget the adorable Aiden who has some classic one liners throughout this great read.
This is a must read for all lovers of romance, it’s sweet, it’s hot and it’s full of witty banter so what are you waiting for you need to get your one click finger working now !!!!!
Tempt the Hookup by Natasha Madison is more than a five star read. It’s an ALL THE STARS read. This book is filled with so much goodness. This story will put a smile on your face and a giggle to your day.
Luca and Eli are two of my favorites couples I’ve read this year. I’m so happy that Natasha brought us back to the Tempt Series.
A second chance romance that has a surprise. Luca and Eli meet on a booze cruise, but what happens seven years later is a surprise to Luca. He can’t believe what he finds out at his bosses cookout.
We follow as these two re-connect. We follow as they begin their new “normal”. And what a sweet, sweet ride it is.
I couldn’t put this book down.
This book is another reason Natasha Madison will always be in my top five automatic one-click author list.
*I was given a free advanced copy of this book by the author in exchange for my honest and voluntary review. All thoughts and opinions in this review are those of my own.*
I love Natasha Madison’s writing and storylines! They are always so funny, sexy, sweet and heartwarming!! Luca and Eli had such an amazing connection that was able to span 7 years with no contact, yet still feel genuine. Aiden was so freaking adorable and hilarious. Their parents were cute and so loving. I just really loved the family vibe they all had even with their friends. Everyone was so loving and accepting and welcomed you fully with open arms! Natasha’s book always leave me feeling warm and fuzzy even if you have to go through some bumps to get there. Beautiful story as usual
And she does it again! I have yet to find a Natasha Madison book I don’t love! Tempt the Hookup is a fun, steamy, hilarious story! You can’t help but fall in love with Eli and Luca right from the start.
What happens on the booze cruise, stays on the booze cruise! Or so you think, sometimes what happens on the booze cruise comes to life nine months later.
Luca DiMarco comes face to face with a reality he wasn’t expecting in the most awkward place. He goes to a welcome home party for his bosses daughter and when he meets Elihan Coco he comes face to face with the woman he’s been in love with for seven years, and her big secret. Elihan Coco left for France seven years ago when she found out she was pregnant and had no idea how to find the father. When she attends her welcome home party the last thing she expects is to see the man himself, and then to learn he works for her father and his her neighbor. It’s clear from the start that the chemistry Luca and Eli had seven years ago never left. From the moment they see each other again everything changes and not just because of their son.
Temp the Hookup is everything we have come to love from this series! Madison adds plenty of laugh out loud moments, I mean the face cream come on! There’s plenty of misunderstandings and jealousy, that add fuel to the chemistry fire Luca and Eli have going on.
I read this book in one sitting, I absolutely could not put it down and did not want to. When I was finished I needed more. Luca and Eli were such a fun read and I cannot wait to see who will get the next book in the series. Madison does a great job in tying all the books to each other without really needing to know the background of each
5 Star Review Tempt The Hookup (Tempt #3) by Natasha Madison
From start to finish Natasha Madison wove such an engaging story that I couldn’t help but be hooked. This is Eliahn and Luca’s story and oh what a fabulous story it is. Eliahn is a single mum to 6 year old Aiden, thanks to a wild and oh so spicy hookup on a cruise.
Returning home after six years away, Eliahn is shocked to come face to face with Luca, Aiden’s father who is even more shocked to learn that he is a father.
The chemistry between Eliahn and Luca was off the charts and so smoking hot, you could almost feel the air sizzling as you read their story. Eliahn and Luca are a great pairing and I really wanted them to get their happily ever after, although at times I feared they wouldn’t.
Tempt The Hookup is a second chance at love story, which was well written and highly entertaining.
Tempt the Hookup, #3 in the Tempt Series, and as always, Natasha Madison has outdone herself once again.
In this saga, we get Luca’s story, I loved everything about he and Eli, it was sweet, sexy and it gave us a little anxiety to mix in. Then there was Aiden, what a sweet lovable character, and so innocent. This book will have you swooning, crying (a little from angst but mostly from laughing so hard), it will set your kindle on fire too! Both sets of parents were hilarious as well, they added so much to the story line.
I loved every word of this book, this so far is my favorite of the series. Don’t miss out on Luca, Eli and Aiden.
