Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I am really liking Marni Mann's books and they keep getting better with each release! A great start to the series

every time i finish reading a marni mann book i’m left feeling completely satisfied. this book was no different, it had marni’s signature spice, outstanding banter, a fierce and amazing heroine, and a mouthwatering hero.

there was no question right from the start that easton and drake had an instant connection. the chemistry between them was scorching and just amazing. i loved the support they had for one another and how they were each others equal. the development of their relationship was simply amazing.

mr. hook-up was a fun and playful read that had me smiling from ear to ear. i thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next book in the series.

What can I say Marni Mann did it again.

Easton and Drake....... hot damn.

The beginning really had my emotions all over the place. I really didn't know where Marni was taking us, but as the story progressed I knew exactly what she was doing. The chemistry and dynamic between easton and Drake was sweet. I kept swooning till the very end. Easton is the perfect book boyfriend but also I loved the little crossover with another one of Marni's serious had me jumping up and down.

Overall an amazing book. Deserves more than 5 stars. I can't wait for the next book in the serious.

Eeeek I love this book!!!! When I first saw this advertised, I just KNEW I'd love it, and I did!!!

The book is split into two parts and I love this!

Easton and Love match 100% on the new app that Easton creates with his friends. There were sooo many "will they, won't they" moments and I was screaming for them!!

Part 2 introduces Drake who is 🔥 she's incredible and a great match for Easton.

I love this book!!! You need to read it to find out what happens 😘

I cannot wait for book 2 in this series!

This book was deliciously spicy while still captivating. I was hooked and read this faster than I've read any other romance in the past year

Book #1 in the Hooked series by Marni Mann, Mr Hook-Up is a contemporary romance that can be read as a standalone. If you are a reader who enjoys a bit of smut, some dirty talk, office romance, forced proximity and a sexy billionaire, then you definitely need to check out this book.
In this story the main characters are Easton and Drake (Love). Easton and his two college friends have created an online dating app called Hooked. Easton has a 100% match up with someone called Love and these two have some heated texts exchanged between them. Their chemistry was undeniable and after a while they give into their urge to meet up but at a masked ball where they can hold onto some of their anonymity. After a night of passion, Love goes incognito and disappears.
5 years later she ends up working for Hooked and guess who her new boss is. There are some familiar traits that these two have but are they able to put two and two together and figure out who the other is and the bond that they once had? Will they both get their HEA?
Mr Hook-Up was a fantastic introduction into the Hooked series. Marni did an amazing job with the storyline and introducing us to the other characters who will be a part of the series. I also loved how she brought characters in from her other books. Now bring on the next two books as I need the stories of Easton's business partners.

This was my first Marni Mann title. While I see the reasons that other people adore these books, and I did enjoy this one, overall I don't think that I'll continue with the series. I set this book down for three months accidentally and forgot that it existed. When I did pick it back up, it was a fun read. But, I was able to walk away and not feel inclined to pick it back up.

The blurb for this book was great and what pulled me in. I enjoyed the spice but felt it was a little too instant love for my liking but did enjoy the story overall.

I look forward to reading Mr. Wicked next.


Thank you Montlake for my copy.

I really enjoyed this book! I flew threw this and this is my second book by this author. It was spicy which was great! Though at the end I felt like it could've been shorter. That camping trip kinda seemed outta nowhere lol but other than that I really enjoyed this book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

POV: First person / Dual
Genre: Workplace Romance / Boss & Employee / One Night Stand / Second Chance / Secret Romance

Easton and his friends, Grayson and Holden, are the founders of an app called Hooked, a new anonymous dating app. I. The first stages of the apps rollout he matches with an anonymous woman who he shares a compatibility score of 100% with.

The connection, albeit virtual, is instantaneous and after a while, they met up on a masked ball and had a one-night stand. Easton hopes for more, but suddenly she disappeared and changes her number. Now, 5 years later, she’s back, the connection is still there, only now it’s forbidden because his anonymous girl, is now his newest employee...

Marni Mann has an incredible writing style that captivates you from the start. Mr Hook-Up was a clever and unique Office Romance that had a modern You’ve Got Mail vibe, with incredible chemistry, steam and sweetness. A phenomenal start to the new Hooked series, I’m looking forward to reading both Grayson and Holden’s stories!

Mr. Hook Up is a beautiful start to to wonderful series. It's Easton and Drake story and it's going to win all readers hearts.
I Loved Easton. He is such a sweet, loving and caring alpha male who falls hard for Drake.
I Really enjoyed the story and Cannot wait to read his two Best friends stories next.
Highly Recommend it to all readers.

This wasn't the book for me. The insta love felt so unrealistic, and sometimes cringy with second hand embarrassment. This isn’t my first book by this author and I will continue to read her books this one just wasn’t it for me.

This sadly wasn't the book for me. I knew from the start it wasn't going to be my thing. It felt unrealistic, cringy and to much like insta love. My first book by this author and I would try another i just don't think this one was for me

Such a wonderful story between the two main characters. Marni did a fantastic job! I look forward to reading her next book.

Easton and Drake, alias Mr. Boston and Love, initially connect on the dating app Hooked, where Easton, one of the founders, is surprised to find a 100% match with her. Despite their chemistry, life gets in the way, and they lose touch for over five years. However, they reconnect when Drake interviews for a position at Hooked, leading to a revelation of their true identities. Despite some initial frustration, Easton's caring nature shines through, and their relationship flourishes without the typical third-act breakup trope. The Hooked app adds an intriguing twist to the romance plot, while the palpable chemistry between the characters keeps readers engaged. Although the steamy scenes are enjoyable, they sometimes overshadow the emotional connection. Overall, "Mr. Hook-up" is a recommended read for fans of steamy romance novels, offering a fun and captivating story with a unique premise.

The Spice!

I absolutely loved this new release of Marni's. The concept behind a app designated for hooking up that leads two people into a such a good romance plot.

I can't wait for more in this series.

Finding love and the one who completes you will make all those hookups a thing of the past. Such a great story that will fall in love with Marni’s stories.

Easton and his best friends create an app designed to make it easy to hook-up. What he doesn't expect is to get a 100% match with Love.

Part one of this book is told completely from Eastons POV, and we see how he falls for Love through the app.

Nearly six years later, part two gives us the reconnection between Easton and Love, and this is told in both POV's, so we get to her side of the story and why she disappeared.

I'm an absolute sucker for anonymous messages, so I knew I was going to absolutely devour this book, and I wasn't wrong.

I really liked that we only gor Easton's story at first as it added to the mystery of who love is.

I love Marni's writing.
The spice is so good, and the chemistry between the characters is fantastic.

I can't wait to read more from this series.
His best friends totally deserve to find their HEA's too, especially Holden
