Hooked Up: A gripping and suspenseful steamy romance Kindle Edition

Okay so I have read books 1-3 own them all. I was like what the hell did I get myself into when I first started reading book 1. I could not put these books down as I wanted more. Pearl and Alexandre made we want to be their friends. This story line has everything that you could image in any book series. If I had it my way we should have around 3 more book and I would have been happy. The love that came out of this made me wonder if this kind of love story could really be true.. Could not look, lust and love after the one they are with unconditionally. It made you believe in the impossible. The sexy and love making in this series was off the hook good. This was dangerous, suspenseful, crazy, loving, fun, funny, heartbreaking and full of wonderful all in one. Thank you for this read. I give these books a 5 STAR because once I started reading I could not put it down. I cried a lot while reading these books. I felt like I had made some new friends overall and the way it opened me up on the inside which is hard to do it that reason for the high stars. I loved the Pearl series but this puts an entirely new spin on it. Alexandre is so in love with Pearl and now she realizes she made a big mistake listening to someone else. But I am glad that she was able to see the truth and made her soul happy again with her one true love. Age ain't nothing but a number I must say.Just so that you know I ordered these book awhile back.Digital Order: December 30, 2016Recipient:Christy Reid

This book should have come with a warning that read, "Previously released as (Shades Of Pearl, The Pearl Series, Volume 1)".I was about 3 pages in when I realized that I had previously read this book. What is upsetting is that this is the exact bookas the first one, word for word.I couldn't stand the different POV's because they were exactly the same which made them unnecessary.I did like the chemistry between Pearl and Alexandre. It felt real and believable. I loved Pearl's character, whichis why I read 3 of the 5 books in the Series.40 year old Pearl Robinson just wants and interview with the owners of the social media site HookedUp,25 year old Alexandre Chevalier and his sister Sophie Dumas. After a chance meeting with Alexandre ata coffee shop, Pearl gets more than she bargains for from the very handsome, very mature 25 year old.Unfortunately for Pearl, outside forces are looking to keep the two of them from being more than just afling.Great series that have been taken from 5 books to 3.

Scorching hot, super sexy and addictive...It took a while for Pearl and Alexander to hook up, but when they did... wow.Some of the longest sex scenes I ever read, and just when you think it's over, the POV alternates and you get to experience it all over again.I loved Pearl and her little insecurities, I loved Alexander and his surprising layers...No choice but to jump right into book 2....

Hooked Up is supposed to be book one in a series. Books in series are usually standalone books and don't end in a cliffhanger. This book is not standalone and it ends in a cliffhanger.It's told from a dual POV - Pearl's and Alexandre's. This is not a well written dual POV. Pearl is a 40 something year old who meets 25 year old billionaire Alexandre, accidentally on purpose. Pearl is a immature, insecure woman for her age and we aren't told why. From the moment she meets Alexandre, she's deceitful about who she is when she has no reason to be. Alexandre is immediately attracted to her. He first thinks it's lust as usual. He determines very shortly that's it's more than lust. Even though Pearl isn't open and honest with Alexandre, she's extremely jealous.The book goes from Pearl thoughts to Alexandre's thoughts. Pearl becomes more and more dislikeable while Alexandre grows on you as he tries to put his sexual affairs in order because he acknowledges his feelings for Pearl. Pearl is is more and more insecure and dishonest with no intention of telling Alexandre the truth.Of course , Alexandre's older sister and business manager, Sophie, investigates Pearl and finds out how deceitful she is. The book ends abruptly on a cliffhanger. I had read reviews that stated the book ended in a cliffhanger. I've read series where reviewers said the book ended in a cliffhanger, when in fact it did not. This book does.Still since I'm intrigued by Alexandre, I bought the next book. If this book ends as abruptly, I may notcare enough to purchase the last book.

This book started of very good with great characters. After a while, I started getting bored. I got to the middle of the book, and there was still no conflict, which is in every romance novel. Almost ready to put the book away, I came to the end, and there was the conflict as a cliffhanger for the next book.The conflict wasn't even something to be angry about; it was just a misunderstanding. The character overreacted, in my opinion, and I had ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST in buying the next book.

This book was,interesting . The,way the couple met and the sex wow Alexandre really knows how to satisfy Pearl . However I didn't really like the ending . Also the age difference I don't know if they will last ,but I need to read book.2 other than that great book.

The book was quick and kept me interested .. sad that I have to find the next book to find out more

Very annoying with this going back and forth with the same story line. Couldn't get into it.

Good story, nice writing.

Awesome book .... a must read !!
