Nothing better then getting over an ex is to find a good rebound/revenge sex. For Alexa she's had her whole life planned out but when she's left at the alter she's broken a bit but it's more for everything falling apart versus what her ex did. Going to a break up bash shouldn't be a good time, but when she sees the dancer from her bachelorette party well there was a connection back then.

Rafe has been done with dancing for awhile, but thanks to a bet and an emergency he's forced out retirement and both times he's been in Alexa's path. Their chemistry jumps off them in waves. So when they agree to hook up until she moves. What could go wrong? Health issues, family, pasts, and work will play against them as they continue to enjoy each other's company. When insecurities flare, they will have to fight if they want more than just a hook up.

Alexa was stood up on her wedding day by her cheating fiance Brian. She decides to go to a break up bash where six months ago while she was the bride to be at her bachelor party she met Rafael and it was instant lust, they had a hot kiss but kept it at that because she didn't want to cheat, come to find out that is exactly what her scum of a fiance was doing. Rafael could not forget that hot kiss he had gotten six months ago so when he is at this break up bash he couldn't believe it was Alexa and when he finds out that she is single and she wasn't cheating they have a hot one night stand which turns into many nights. Alexa's ex comes back and wants to get back together with her and she is getting pressured (rich people) do these instead of love. Alexa has fallen in love with Rafe, but even though he also loves her he is holding some baggage from his last girlfriend and he is comparing Alexa's situation to his ex and he almost almost loses her.Enjoy!

The first rule of hookups concerns Alexa who has been left at the altar by her fiancé who also works in the same company as her. Not wanting to be around when he returns to work she decides to relocate . As a farewell she attends a break-up bash with her friends.

My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Easy going, quick romantic read. The challenges of love and lost are always present. Alexa and Rafe meet for some fun with no relationship ties. Yeah well we all know that is not going to happen in a HEA story. Likable characters with smooth story line. Smooth writing by Nina Crespo hope to visit her work again. "A copy of this book was provided by Entangled via Netgalley with no requirements for a review. Comments here are honest and my personal views."

This was an enjoyable, entertaining, sexy read. That drew me in from the start, due to the likable characters, plenty of chemistry, and an interesting storyline. That kept me engaged throughout; and I would happily recommend it to others.

What a fun and sexy book this was. Even if it started out where the female lead was a little bit in the dumps.

I felt I could really relate in some ways to Alexa. She was left at the alter and even though she was a strong and independent woman, she didn't want to be anywhere near her ex when he returned to work. So she took another job and decided to try out a new location. She loved her family and her friends and for the most part was an upbeat person. She wasn't totally on board going to the Breakup bash but she was hoping to get a glimpse of the hot dancer there.

Rafe now is the owner of Club Escapade and no longer takes off his clothes for a living. However there was one woman, months ago that he can't get off his mind. When she shows up at the Breakup Bash and Rafe is required to fill in for a sick dancer, these two are brought back together.

I loved these two together. There was spark, chemistry, laughter and just an easy understanding between them. I had to pump my fists in the air when after seeing Rafe again, she follows him back to his office and demands he kisses her. I was so jealous of her being able to do that.

I would highly recommend this book.

What was supposed to be the happiest day of her life turns out to be the worst, and the most humiliating when Alexa’s groom to be runs off with his side chick. Months later she is doing better but the betrayal did leave a sting. So what’s a girl to do but go out with her friends to get her drink on and she sees Rafe. Rafe was the dancer that she met on the day of her bachelorette party. He intrigues her but she was going to get married so she did not let it go past a kiss. Now she has nothing stopping her from taking things further.
What starts off as a simple arrangement soon turns into something deeper, but Rafe has some hang ups too. He feels that them coming from different social classes will eventually drive them apart. It also doesn’t help when Alexa’s former fiancé comes back trying to get back together. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and I can't wait to see if more books are written for Alexa's friends.

Wow what a great story this was! I loved these two together and the story line is the best. Nina is such a great writer and what you get compacted into this short period with Rafe and Alexa is phenomenal! The plot, the story, the characters- there wasn't one thing that could have been better.
The steam factor is off the charts and Nina does these scenes oh so well! You can't ask for more with this book! This is a must read. Yum!

I wasnt sure I would like this book at first because it just jumped right into the story without getting to truly know the characters separately but I think that added to it. I loved this book. You have a woman who's recovering from an unexpected break up and I guy who might have started out in a career that most put down but he made more of his life and owned who he was. It was easy to love both Alexa and Rafe. The book was a definite winner in my eyes. I'll definitely be looking for the authors other books.

Great book! This is Rafe and Alexa book, Rafe owns club escapades and he used to dance at the club years ago before he bought it with one of his friends, Alexa was marrying her supposedly soul mate and has her bachelorette party at the club and gets a special dance from Rafe, a while later after her idiot soul mate leaves her for another woman, she goes to a breakup party at the same club! She meets Rafe again who is now the owner but she doesn't know that! It was definitely a funny, really hot 🔥🔥🔥 interesting story! I highly recommend this book! I really enjoyed it! Definitely don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers and brazen for sharing this book with me!

Wow, The First Rule of Hook-ups, left me hot and bothered quite a bit. Sometimes just bothered. Men can be dense sometimes. I felt bad for Alexa, she seems to have bad luck with men. Good thing Rafe is HOT, if not I'm not sure Alexa should have forgiven him.

Where Rafe is concerned Alexa can be an impatient woman, “I don’t care.” She kissed and nipped his bare shoulder and tugged at the knot in his workout shorts and pulled at the waistband. “Off… take it off.” I liked this book, I liked how Rafe and Alexa meshed well together.
