Mr. Hook-up

Hooked, Book 1

By: Marni Mann

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese, Meg Sylvan

They’ve made the ideal connection on a hot new no-strings hook-up app. But their hearts have other plans in an unpredictable and wildly sexy romance by a USA Today bestselling author.

Hooked. An app designed for the ideal one-night stand is the brainchild of Harvard graduate students Easton Jones and his two best friends. When Easton creates his Hooked profile, he gets a 100 percent perfect match.

Who is this sure thing? Her username is Love.

Their chemistry is off-the-charts explosive, and just when Easton begins falling for her, she disconnects from the app and disappears.

Five years later, Hooked is now the number one dating app in the country.

But that’s not the only thing on fire.

Easton’s brilliant, gorgeous new recruit, Drake Madden, has ignited a desire he hasn’t experienced in years. Professionally and personally, they’re sizzling.

Just as things really start getting serious, Love resurfaces. She wants a chance to explain, and she’s sending Easton’s heart into rewind.

He has a loving woman in the flesh and a fantasy from his past—Easton’s world is about to be rocked.

And rocked hard.

Critic reviews

“Mann delivers another steamy, sexy novel that leaves nothing to the reader’s imagination. Fans of Chelle Sloan, Colleen Hoover, and E.L. James will be drawn to this new series.”—Library Journal

Good!

I really liked this book, but I think book 2 is better. This one kid really good though. The plot and storyline are excellent and the narration is too. I felt like it dragged a little in the middle, but stick it out, it’s worth it!

Marni’s best work yet!

I’m calling it! This is absolutely 100% my new fave Marni book. It was sweet, it was sexy, it was swoony, it was EVERYTHING. I loved everything about it.

The connection between Drake and Easton was written absolutely perfect. It was SO dang refreshing to see an honest and open relationship between two characters.

Easton - that MAN is the swooniest man ever but will also bring you to your knees (literally and figuratively) with his dirty mouth 🤭

This book also ties into The Intern so it was nice to see my man Declan 🥰🥰

🎧 Narration: both narrators were new for me so it took me a little bit to get into their flow but overall it was well done & i enjoyed the dual narration. i liked how cocky the male narrator made easton’s natural voice but how soft he made it when he spoke to drake. the female narrator had an excellent range of emotions & i was impressed with her during the spice scenes.

this was a very highly anticipated release for me. i absolutely love marni’s books & this one did not disappoint. easton & drake were such a fun read. i liked the dual timeline & the way the second chance blossomed. workplace romances are my favorite & this one was *elite.* easton & drake had the best banter too. i loved the way he was so confident in her & always let her shine. ugh, it was just excellent & the spice was 🔥🥵. absolutely slayed. i can’t wait to read more in this series!

Funny and easy audiobook

This audiobook was so funny. I will always love pen pals trope, specially with text messages!
The performance was great and the MC were so hot together!!

Love this story!!

This author is fantastic. The narrator did an excellent job as well. I look forward to reading Mr. Wicked..

Reuniting-Second Chance ♥️📲💬💙

If you enjoy secret trysts with a second chance romance, this is a good book for you. There is so much mystery around Drake and Easton’s first meeting, and when they come back into each other’s orbit, the story gets really good.

There is a lot to tech start up and real world situations. I can totally see this as a story for today’s world. It was a good story.

I enjoyed the voice of Drake more than I did the voice of Easton. Both narrators did an OK job, and the story was easy to listen to.
