Farrah Rochon never disappoints!

London reconnects with her high school nemesis, Drew, at her high school reunion. They are once again on opposite sides in their working lives, but throughout their fighting through the situation they find sexual tension, humor, and FEELINGS! I love romance novels with "older" main characters instead of the early life twenty-somethings PLUS the enemies-to-lovers trope gets me every time!

I apologize for taking such a ridiculously long time to post this review. I read the entire The Boyfriend Project series, and I loved it so much! The Hookup Plan is the third (and sadly, final) book in the series, and it was my favorite! London, Samiah, and Taylor are the best! I adored their strong bond and support for each other. The banter and chemistry between London and Drew was the icing on the cake in this book!! I highly recommend The Hookup Plan (and the series)!!

Another charming, witty, and empowering romance from Farrah Rochon! Centered around pediatric surgeon London Kelley, the novel blends steamy chemistry with heartfelt emotional depth as she reconnects with her high school rival-turned-billionaire, Drew Sullivan. Their enemies-to-lovers journey is full of playful banter, personal growth, and swoon-worthy moments. With smart writing and a cast of relatable, supportive friends, Rochon wraps up her Boyfriend Project series on a high note. A feel-good, flirty read that will leave you smiling.

This charming, own-voices romantic comedy was truly delightful. The characters were exceptionally well-developed and engaging, each possessing a distinct and endearing personality. Furthermore, the storyline unfolded at a perfectly balanced pace, keeping me thoroughly invested without feeling rushed or stagnant.

Thank you to NetGalley, Farrah Rochon, and Forever for providing an advanced reader's copy of *The Hookup Plan*.

The Hookup Plan is the highly anticipated final book in Farrah Rochon’s The Boyfriend Project series, and while it didn’t quite live up to the excitement I had for it, it still provided an enjoyable and steamy read. The story follows London Kelley, a pediatric surgeon, and her high school rival, Drew Sullivan. Their paths cross once again at their high school reunion, leading to an unexpected one-night stand that turns into an agreement for a casual hookup plan. The catch? Drew has been hired at the hospital where London works, and their time together is limited to the duration of his work assignment.

The chemistry between London and Drew is palpable, and the rivals-to-lovers trope is done well with plenty of banter and sexual tension. However, I did find London’s hang-up on their high school rivalry a bit repetitive, especially as the story progressed. I wished she could move past the bitterness faster, allowing more room for the romance to fully blossom. That said, Drew was a likable and grounded character, and I appreciated the way he supported London, especially with the added pressure of her high-stress job.

One of the main drawbacks for me was the lack of development in the romance itself. I was hoping for more intimacy and deeper connection between the characters, but the focus remained on the external conflicts, like the hospital crisis and London’s emotional baggage. While I understand the need for a plot outside of just the romance, I would have liked to see more attention given to their evolving relationship.

That said, the secondary characters, particularly London’s friends, Samiah and Taylor, were a highlight. Their friendship and banter added much-needed humor and warmth to the story, and I found myself wishing for more of their interactions. The pacing was generally quick, and Rochon’s writing is witty and engaging, making it an overall fun read despite the few areas that fell short for me.

Overall, The Hookup Plan is a lighthearted, steamy rom-com that will appeal to fans of the rivals-to-lovers trope, but it didn’t quite meet the emotional depth and intensity I hoped for. If you’re looking for a quick escape with humor, chemistry, and plenty of rom-com fun, this one is worth picking up.

Thank you to Farrah Rochon, NetGalley, and Forever for the ARC. I look forward to reading more from Rochon in the future!

This was my favourite of The Boyfriend Project trilogy! London was funny and determined, while Drew managed to erk her in just the right way. I love enemies to lovers and a good millionaire trope never hurts. I can't wait to read more from Rochon outside this trilogy!

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! I just couldn't get in the mood for this one, but I do love this author!

This was a fun romantic comedy that featured African American leads that focuses on an enemies to lover story. The leads had great chemistry. that involves hooking up which leads to love.

The Hookup Plan is the last book in the Boyfriend Project Trilogy. London is a cardio surgeon resident. Drew is leading the management team who is auditing her hospital to determine where to make cuts and find efficiencies. And, oh yeah, London and Drew went to high school together and hated each other.

This enemies to lovers story was a great way to wrap this series. It’s set in Austin and I really enjoyed it.

Thank you to #netgalley and the publisher for the e-copy of #thehookupplan.

Farrah Rochon's "The Hookup Plan" is a sizzling tale of love and self-discovery. Dr. London Kelley juggles her career and an unexpected reunion with Drew Sullivan, her high school nemesis turned irresistible suitor. The plot weaves through themes of trust and personal growth as London battles between her guarded heart and Drew's persistent charm. Both characters are refreshingly reliable, with genuine motivations driving their actions. The narrative unfolds at a brisk pace, keeping readers on their toes with witty banter and emotional depth. A delightful read for romance enthusiasts, this novel is a must-add to your reading list.

This is one of my very first books from Farrah Rochon that I've read, and I actually enjoyed this one. This book falls into the tropes of: friends with benefits, the guy falls first, fast burn and former rivals. All the tropes I absolutely LOVE. I love how stubborn London is and how sweet Drew is, you already know thats the perfect potion to a good book. This book had me swooning instantly the way Drew treats London, and to top it off the rivalry between them gave this book the kick it needed. Character development was top tier because as you read further into the book, you can see the development. I thought this book was a standalone but it seems to be apart of the Boyfriend Project series which I will be looking into but as far as standalones, this can be read as one.

This book is getting a solid 4 for me, because who doesn't love steamy scenes and banter?!

I love love love Farrah Rochon, and her latest installment does not disappoint. London is hardworking and smart, and struggles to balance the daily demands of being a woman in her industry. There is immediate attraction between the two characters, which I always love.

This is my first Farrah Rochon book but won’t be my last! Her characters are so well written; I felt like I knew them and understood them. I loved London’s dedication to her profession and her confidence; loved Drew’s steadiness and the ease with which he cared for London. I really enjoyed the growth showed, especially on London’s part. And of course I loved the girlfriends and need to read their books now!

One small criticism—I thought there were too many spicy scenes. I think because they hooked up immediately, there wasn’t that tension to play with, and it just seemed like filler, which made the book too long in my opinion. But I loved that there was no third act breakup 🙌🙌 and really enjoyed how it all wrapped up.

3.5 stars rounded up to four! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

3.5 stars. This was a great ending to the series focused on three friends who had a bit of an unconventional start to their friendship. And I think this book was my favorite in many ways - it was nice to have gotten an introduction to London prior to this story and to see her story unfold while she navigated the things going on at her hospital. This one is a lust/lovers to relationship story - meant to be a one-night stand that continued into a (reluctant) friends with benefits situation and ultimately a relationship. I sometimes struggle with these types of storylines because the initial interactions between the two MCs can feel very surface level.

I thought the fact that they were high school rivals was an interesting layer to the storyline. I was happy to see London's growth throughout the story, to be honest at the beginning of the story I didn't like her very much. Drew was fine as a MMC - at times he felt a little one dimensional - but he was definitely not the stereotypical multi-millionaire character. I appreciated the way that he cared for London and the way that he pursued her, knowing what he wanted out of the relationship and making that clear to her. I was a little frustrated with the resolution with regards to London's career, but I understand the rationale behind it and am glad that she made the decision that was right for her.

Overall, this is an enjoyable series. This book can be read stand-alone, but there are cameos from the other two friends and there are some references to what happened in previous books that may not make sense without the context. I always enjoy a strong FMC and London definitely fits that bill! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this book.

Great book! I really like this author and was thrilled at the opportunity to read this ARC. The characters in this book were great. Loved the women in stem rep.

The Hookup Plan was a quick read. It’s the next novel in Rochon’s series about a group of friends and it’s time to find love for London. It’s an interesting premise where there’s a dash of enemies to lovers but it doesn’t hit the enemies part very hard for very long. They quickly transition their relationship away from antagonism. So it’s an interesting blend of tropes. All in all, a quick read and worth picking up if you’re invested in this series.

I thought it was an okay read. I know it is an adult romance, but at times felt like it was intended for a younger audience. London just felt so annoying and immature at times, but I know she is in her early 20s. Enemies to Lovers is also a favorite trope, but it felt very weak. London was holding a grudge on Drew for how things went in high school, but it felt so naïve and childish.

I DNF’d early on because of the profanity and what is very evident will be an open door, spicy romance.

I wasn’t able to get into this but I’m hoping to pick it back up soon, this author’s books are popular and I’m sure I will enjoy this if I pick it up again at the right time!

It took me a while to finally get to this as I haven't been in a romance mood until this summer, but thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

This novel is the third in a series, but can be read as a standalone as well.

I enjoyed this fine... I thought it was an okay read. I know it is an adult romance, but at times felt like it was intended for a younger audience. London just felt so annoying and immature at times, but I know she is in her early 20s. Enemies to Lovers is also a favorite trope, but it felt very weak.

It was a fast paced read and did feel perfect for summer. Would be a great beach/vacation read!
