So I am not sure how I missed the previous two books in this series. But I am glad I finally stumbled upon The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rachon.

London Kelley, a successful pediatric surgeon, hasn’t seen her high school rival for almost 15 years. But at her reunion she runs into Drew Sullivan, even though he did not RSVP. They immediately fall back in a pattern of jokes, witty comments and tension just like all those years before. Except now, they may be inching more towards the friends line rather than enemy’s.

I loved London’s strong personality, and adored Drew’s patience and steadiness in his wait for London. I also adored London’s friends, so I cannot wait to circle back and read the first two books in The Boyfriend Project series.

I am a sucker for a steamy enemies to lovers trope - and this did not disappoint, with the added flare of sass to boot. This was my first book by Rochon, and I am happy to say I immediately went to find other books to add to my TBR from her. I haven't read the other books in this series as they seem to be able to be read as standalones, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the previous books as I enjoyed the friendships and from my understanding the others in the series feature the same characters, and I do love a round journey through a group like that. I enjoyed the dual POV as both the love interests had good back stories and I enjoyed their separate journeys and growth as characters. I wanted a fun, sassy, sexy romance and this gave me all the goods.

I've loved this series from the beginning and have been eagerly awaiting London's book.

I love love love London. She's smart and hardworking, loyal and ready to love. Drew is charming and giving and knows how to push London's buttons. Together they have history and chemistry and banter for days. I loved reading them reconnect and figure out how the relationship went from hooking up to friends to more.

Plot wise, it was good. There's little to no angst (even though I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop) and the conflict doesn't really come from the relationship. These two are honest with themselves and each other and it was so refreshing to see the communication on the page. Of course, the scenes with all three ladies were some of the best and it's really been a highlight of this series. And the ending chapter was absolute perfection.

Overall, these three books really shine when it comes to female friendships and I know I'll be reading them again and again.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing an arc free of charge**

My favorite is enemy to lover's, this book definitely delivers that. I haven't read the other books in the series as they can be read as standalones, but I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the previous books.

The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon is a great conclusion to the Boyfriend Project series. I love London and Drew's story, enemies to lovers romance. While I always enjoy the chemistry and attraction between the two main characters, I also enjoy the female friendships that Rochon presents. That's my favorite part!

The Hookup Plan brought this series full circle perfectly! Although these books can be read as stand-alones, I found enjoyment reading them in order. The dual POVs provided insight into both Drew and London’s minds which I loved. I also feel this book had more spice than The Boyfriend Project & The Dating Playbook. Overall, 3 1/2-4 stars! A sweet read of (high school) enemies to (adult professional) lovers.

I really enjoyed this book. It was refreshing to have two people already established in their careers and confident in who they are as individuals. It was also refreshing to have a Female Main Character in her 30s and not paranoid about ever having a baby. Many women do not want children, and this should be embraced.

The third and final book in the series, and of course, I was not disappointed. This might have been my favorite book in the series, although the residents I've come in contact with on a consistent basis is not like London. Plus London has more guts than I have, because my 30th class reunion will be coming up in a few years, and I more than likely won't be attending, much less, organizing it. The passion London has was so amazing and heartwarming, and I loved how even though she wanted this to stay as enemies with benefits, she grew and matured throughout the story. Great job

I received a copy of the book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions

This book was ok but wasn't one that I particularly enjoyed. I am sure that it will appeal to many but Drew was a little too devoted for me (weird that I can say that when talking about a romance novel but it go to the point of being overly cheesy). And I couldn't connect with London personally, a lot of her decisions were the opposite of what I would've done. I did like the friendship between the three ladies and seeing it all through the series was great. It was a good read I just didn't love it.

Farrah Rochon didn't disapppoint with her latest book, The Hookup Plan. Firstly, this book is an enemies to lovers which is my favorite trope ever. Secondly, Farrah Rochon knows how to bring the spice to any book, and I am totaly here for it!

London and Drew once were school rivals and now are temporarily working together with all the gorgeous and witty banter that I've come to love from this series. Just look at the gorgeous cover and you'll see the kind of push and pull that you're in for. This one can be read as a stand alone, but if you love it, then just know that you have a backlog of Farrah's books to look forward to.

Thanks so much to Forever Publishing for providing me an ARC of this book.

I thought it was great how this book highlighted not getting burned out & how women are treated in the workplace.

As the title highlights, London Kelly has zero interest in Drew Sullivan apart from having him massage her all over. and maybe licking his abs. He's her archnemesis, after all, the one person who just has to stand against her in all things since college. Little does London know that for Drew its always been about gaining her attention.

A super fun romp of a read. Another winner by Farrah Rochon.

I remember a few years ago when THE BOYFRIEND PROJECT was announced and I was sooo ready to dive into this series. I loved the concept (three girls get wronged by the same guy and find out by going viral on social media, then they become BFFs) and was excited to see where each companion novel went. I really enjoyed book one, mostly enjoyed book two, and am happy to say I loved book three. This was genuinely a delightful end to this companion series!

I’m going to miss these characters, especially the gals from the first two books. In this story, I really loved London and Drew. High school enemies to lovers with a badass surgeon and rich guy with a heart... can’t go wrong. They meet again at their high school reunion and decide to have a quick hookup, despite the fact that they were enemies and constantly competing in high school. Come to find out, Drew is actually going to be consulting at London's hospital in Austin, and she is not pleased to find this out post-hookup. Naturally there's some chemistry as they work together and keep up a friends with benefits arrangement.

Overall, I really loved that there was no major drama between the couple in this one either. They had things to work through, including London's work situation and next steps in her career, but there wasn't a real black moment. This is a really enjoyable companion contemporary romance series and I would highly recommend it!

Something I really enjoyed about this book is the ongoing communication between the characters. No miscommunication trope here! The characters were 3-dimensional and supported each other well. It did feel a little long in the second half, and I’m not confident it will be memorable for me, as there was little that made it stand out from the genre as a whole. However, there were definitely aspects I enjoyed!

I've had this series on my tbr for a while, so when I was given an arc copy of the third book, I was pretty excited! Unfortunately, I didn't love the book, primarily due to my dislike for London. I felt a disconnect from the story too and had a hard time getting through the first half because it felt like parts of the story were forced at times. I do plan to give the first two books a try though.

Thank you to Netgalley & publishers for allowing me an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This was a good ending to the boyfriend project series. I definitely love London, and can relate to her more than anyone else. She’s level headed and knows what she wants. The romance was great! A little bit of enemies to lovers in this one.

DNF at 40%. When I requested this book, I remembered that I really liked the first book in the series. I should have checked my reviews though because I’m quitting this book for the same reason I quit the second book in this series - the diet culture references. I don’t need to see every time a character eats a cupcake that they reference multiple times the extra time they will spend on the treadmill to make up for it.

I also don’t get the enemies to lovers aspect since it seems so one sided. This was a miss for me. Thank you to Forever for the advance reading copy.

The Hookup Plan
By Farrah Rochon

I am a huge fan of the series of strong and inspiring women and super excited to finally read London’s story – its been a long time waiting for me, in this third book of the series.

The story was great! I loved every moment of the read form the sizzling hot chemistry to learning more about London and Drew – their stories were well drawn out and I found the story hilarious, sexy and also super sweet. The friendships and themes of self care was so important and I loved that London was a Pediatric Surgeon, and learning about the hospital side of things as a nurse this was fun for me.

What a fantastic series end – very entertaining and enjoyable read.

I liked this book, but less than the other two. It’s a personal preference with this one - I don’t really enjoy the enemies to lovers/friends with benefits trope. I did like the hospital setting a lot - it was very Grey’s Anatomy.
