I had a hard time getting into this book. I didn’t realize this was part of a series, so I definitely wish I had read the other two before I jumped in. Though the chemistry was good, the rest of the plot was underwhelming, but it’s very possibly I felt that way only because it was expected that I’d already be invested in London from previous books. Overall, this was cute, but a bit hard to follow with the half baked elements of the plot being far less developed than the love story.

I've really liked reading this series so far, and the addition of The Hookup Plan did not disappoint. While maybe not my favourite in the series, it was still a very fun and entertaining romance. There was good character development, fun banter, and I thought the chemistry was definitely there between the two main characters, London and Drew. If you enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope, you just might want to add The Hookup Plan to your TBR!

Thanks for the advanced copy! I was so excited to read London’s story after reading the previous two books and loving them. After the rave reviews, I was eager to pick it up. Sadly, this didn’t hit the mark as I had hoped it would. It’s not that there was anything wrong or that I disliked in it, it just didn’t fully keep my interest as I was reading it.

This book was my favorite of the series. I loved London so much and her friendship with Samiah and Taylor. And who doesn't love a "no strings attached hookup" that without a doubt always becomes more? Drew was a wonderful love interest and friend despite his unfortunate career. I really enjoyed that this book touched on some complicated topics but also had a lot of joy and fun. A great read! 4.5/5

After reading the boyfriend project I was so excited to read the hook up plan. I didn’t realize it was the third in the series but it didn’t give anything away. I love a series that takes on different characters from previous books.

Thank you to ReadForever Pub and NetGalley for granting me access to this title!

This is my first title by the author and.. I have fallen in love!! Her writing is so good! I loved her characters, the storyline and the banter. I will definitely be picking up more of her novels. I highly recommend!

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for the gifted eARC of The Hookup Plan! All opinions in this review are my own.

London works hard whether it is at her job as a pediatric surgeon or planning her high school reunion. Unfortunately, this also means that her stress levels are high. When she reconnects with Drew Sullivan, her nemesis from high school, she decides that some casual fun will help. What London doesn't account for is that Drew has liked her all along or that he owns the company who is in charge of helping her hospital get back in good financial standing. Now Drew is around all the time and London is determined to keep their arrangement as casual as possible.

If you like enemies to lovers or romance books where he falls first, you have to read The Hookup Plan! I loved London and Drew as a couple and I liked how the spice built up as the story went along. When the first scene was fade to black, I thought the whole book would be like that. However, as the couple grows closer, there is more and more spice. While I could have used some more scenes with Samiah and Taylor, I liked that a lot of this book was London working through her own issues and feelings for Drew.

I am sad to see this series finished, but I like how Rochon wrapped everything up at the end! Plus, I read these books slightly out of order and still have The Dating Playbook to read because I wanted to save the fake dating story (my favorite trope) for the end!

I’m preemptively eating this a 3, even though I don’t plan to finish it. I have truly not enjoyed any of the characters in this series very much. London is brash and annoying. These books are far too long, with not enough plot happening to support it. When you don’t like the characters, it’s very hard to listen to so much of their inner (and outer) dialog.

All London Kelley needs is the opportunity to de-stress. When former high school rival Drew Sullivan comes back into her life, she decides to relax in the form of a hookup plan with Drew - no strings attached. But when Drew becomes entangled in London's professional life, London quickly finds that she starts craving more and more from Drew than just a hookup.

I really enjoyed this book and I look forward to more from Farrah Rochon!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!

This was my favorite of the series! I will always come back to these three friends any chance I get and loved this one so much.

I wasn’t able to get into this one after 20% and it was a did not finish.

I don’t think this was book was for me but thank you for the opportunity to try it!

I really enjoyed this! Farrah Rochon does a great job of fleshing out all parts of a character. Both London and Drew had full lives outside of their romance and were super believable in all of their actions.

London and Drew were high school rivals, but Drew has always been secretly in love with her. When they both attend their high school reunion, they decide to enter into a friends with benefits relationship to let off some steam - and there was lots of steam! The rivalry made for great banter and an awesome will they / won't they.

I also really liked watching London try to figure out what was most important to her and what her next steps should be. She had great character growth throughout the book.

This is part of a series but all could definitely be read as standalones.

Sexy and smart. Farrah Rochon writes romance between smart and independent women and the men who love them, and handles more sensitive topics with nuance and respect.

The Hookup Plan by Farrah Rochon. Pub Date: August 2, 2022. Rating: 4 stars. I am a huge rom-com reader and this book totally fits the bill and was just what I needed to read to get me out of a slump. In this enemies to lovers swoon worthy novel, a successful female pediatric surgeon finds herself entangled with a a millionaire she reconnects with at a high school reunion. What she thought would be one night of fun turns into their personal and professional lives intertwined with both career and love lives on the line. I loved the strong female lead who showed females can be smart and vulnerable at the same time. I loved the simplicity of Drew's intentions and his gentle ease to win London's heart. I found this novel to be engaging, realistic and just what I needed at the time I read it. I absolutely recommend this novel! Thanks to NetGalley and Forever for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review. #thehookupplan #netgalley

A high school reunion, nemesis, second chance, enemies to lovers, in this spicy story of a woman looking for one night and discovering that her plan changed.

What will happen when Dr. London Kelley discovers her one wild night becomes something she never anticipated with Drew Sullivan. Can they work together or will old feelings resurface?

Figuring out what we want in life is difficult enough but when friends and family widdle their way into the decisions, it can make things sticky. Maybe this rivalry will finally come to an end?

Discover why the ones you love to hate are not always the ones you want to hate forever in this spicy read..

I love this authors writing style and find myself really easily immersed in her books and this one was no exception. Enemies to lovers is a trope that doesn’t always work for me but here I really enjoyed it. This would read well as a stand-alone but I would recommend this whole series!

My favorite book of the series! Love an enemies to lovers trope. That being said, I was still kind of bored lol. I found it repetitive and wasn't really sold on the chemistry between characters. I did appreciate that there was no miscommunication or third act breakup.

The Hookup Plan
Rating - 3.5⭐️
Genre - romcom/ contemporary romance

This series can do no wrong in my eyes and I’m bummed this is the last book of the friend trio. A sweet, and semi-spicy romance with laugh out loud moments fit right in with the first two books in the series - I can’t pick a favorite! Cannot wait to see what’s next for us from the author!

Be sure to pick up this series if you’re a romance fan that appreciates career driven women in STEM or strong female friendships.

Rochon knows how to write the cutest romance books! I loved this one just like I did the others in this interconnected series.

After pediatric surgeon London hooks up with her high school nemesis Drew at her reunion, she finds out the real reason he's in town - his job is to decide whether or not her hospital stays open. Drew is doing everything he can to convince London he's a good guy - because sleeping with the enemy is not on London's to do list.

This was the third book in the series about London and her friends, and it was my favorite! I loved the enemies to lovers trope, and London and Drew had some serious chemistry.
