The Hookup Equation

From the moment I started reading ‘The Hookup Equation’ I found myself hooked to the two main characters Thalia and Caleb. Obviously, through reading the book description, you already know a little how things are going to go but there was just something about these two that I loved from the start.

Teach me everything. My whole life, I’ve been a good girl. I follow rules like nobody’s business. I obey guidelines like I was born to it. Show me a line, and I’ll toe it. I’m even a twenty-two-year-old virgin. Good is my middle name. And then, I break one tiny little rule. Miniscule. Inconsequential. Next thing I know, I’m trapped with an incredibly handsome stranger. He’s got eyes like cut emeralds, biceps that makes my head spin, and a smile that has me rethinking all my life choices. We escape a bar bathroom together. We go on an impromptu date. We share the hottest kiss I’ve ever had, one that leaves me panting for more. We promise to see each other again. Turns out, we see each other the next morning. In my calculus class. Which he’s teaching. My handsome, sexy date is Professor Loveless, and we’ll be seeing each other plenty. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all semester. There’s no choice but to call it off. We both have too much at stake: I could lose my scholarship, and he could lose his entire career. But I can’t call off the way I feel. I can’t call off the way he looks when he rolls up his sleeves and explains imaginary numbers. I can’t call off the heated glances, or the way our hands touch when I hand in my homework, or the memory of his body pressing against mine that night. I’m a virgin. He’s my professor. And if we give in, it could cost us both everything. But I’m so tired of being a good girl.

Thalia and Caleb met randomly in a bar, and there is this instant attraction to one another. I loved how the author was able to really make me feel their chemistry right from the start. They are both not the type of person who hooks up with someone in a bar easily. But there chemistry can’t be denied and they go on this perfect date.

Everything between Thalia and Caleb seems to go perfect, put then they find out they are in the same class.. Only one is a student, and the other one is a professor. Yes, not good! Although I could easily guess how things where going to go, this book kept me sitting on the edge of my seat dying to know what would be happening next.

Yes, I loved the romance between Thalia and Caleb, and there where some pretty sexy moments. But I also loved the setting, and the side characters. Caleb’s brothers where definitely guys I would like to read about to. And Thalia’s character definitely made me laugh. She is just so.. normally awkward.

This book was my first Roxie Noir read, and I really loved it. I loved reading this book through both Thalia’s and Caleb’s point of view. And although this book is part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone.
