My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hookup Handbook by Kendall Ryan was such an outstanding book! I had so much fun reading this. It was seXXXy and sweet with small bursts of humor to break up the scenes that got a little more angsty. Although I wouldn’t categorize this one as an angsty read at all. Instead, it’s easy to jump into and before you know it you’ve read the whole book in one sitting… or that might be just me.😉

Kendall Ryan is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author with more than two dozen titles in her catalogue. I’ve had the pleasure of reading this author before and have always enjoyed the stories I read. I find her books well written and since the books—the ones I’ve read anyway—always show that attention to editing has been paid, I love to jump into Kendall Ryan’s stories. The Hookup Handbook is the second book in the Escort, Inc series and can be read as a complete standalone. (Full Discloser: I haven’t read the first book and had absolutely zero difficulty following this story.) It’s a dual POV, best friends little sister, office romance with a fresh plot and characters which I thoroughly enjoyed. Case owns his own male escort business and when tasked by his best friend to find a job for his little sister, Case hires her to help him write the ultimate handbook for guys. While their start is rocky, Case quickly realizes he wants to keep Sierra around—and not just for the short term! For more than that, you need to read the book! 😊 Both primary characters—Case and Sierra—will win you over quickly. Initially, Case is a bit of an asshole, but with his… uhm, problem… I can understand his frustrations and how overwhelmed he was until Sierra stepped in, filling a gap he didn’t even know he had. Sierra and her brother, Ryder, come from a privileged background but are very down to earth and while I expected her to be entitled, she was not. Nor was Case what I expected of a male escort. These characters were thoughtfully written and will surprise you repeatedly much like they did me! I loved the forbidden nature of their relationship. The Hookup Handbook is SEXXY! Seriously I found it hot, but then again, I usually do when it comes to Kendall Ryan’s romances. The Hookup Handbook was an engaging and entertaining read for sure and my review of 4.5-star reflects my enjoyment of Kendall Ryan’s latest release. I’m soooo looking forward to reading Kendall Ryan’s next release and crossing my fingers to go back and read Boyfriend for Hire, the first book in the Escort, Inc series soon.

QUOTE:

She doesn’t act one bit like I expected her to, and I have no idea why that’s so appealing to me … I guess it’s because I’m used to women fawning all over me, wanting to fuck me from the word hello. Sienna is nothing like the women I’m used to. She’s all fire and spice. Which is a good thing, I remind myself. If there’s one thing I definitely can’t do, is picture myself fucking Ryder’s little sister.

I’ve got to get my body back in prime condition. Rippling abs and bulging pecs are a given with the job description. So is a rock-hard dick, but I still haven’t figured out how to fix that one.

I spent too much time analyzing his stare, wondering if it meant he hated me. Now I know it’s just the opposite. He’s eye-fucking me across the table.

Sienna is officially the sexiest woman I’ve ever been with, and now that I know she still wants me too, there’s no way I’m letting her go without another taste.
—
“What do you want, Sienna?” And the answer hits me harder than a flying ballet slipper to the head. What I want is Case. Maybe even all of him.
—
As I press my mouth to the space between her legs, she squirms beneath me, but I move my lips over her, slowly pushing the lace to the side with my tongue. She gasps when I reach my destination, lapping at her center like my life depends on it— and in a way, it feels like it does. I’ve never wanted a woman so badly, so desperately before.
—
And that’s when it hits me, harder and more devastating than any realization I’ve had in a long time. “You don’t feel the same way. You never did. I was just a fling for you.
