Thank you so much Hambright PR for sending me this ARC!
Synopsis:
Not so much, though, when that strong, competent man is your ex. Your secret ex.
And the reason you need a gown is because you’re part of a charity auction.
The charity auction where he gets into a bidding war to win you.
And now, because you’re one of few female coaches in professional baseball, and he’s the captain of the local professional hockey team, and he paid a ridiculous sum of money for you…
The entire city is shipping you. You can’t leave your apartment without getting a knowing wink from strangers. Your bosses want to use the publicity to have you jointly launch a new community outreach program.
That’s bad enough. It truly is.
But even worse?
Duncan Lavoie, the green-eyed, curly-haired, dimple-cheeked, hot-as-lava hockey player wants a second chance. And he’ll play dirty to get it.
Review & thoughts:
The Secret Hook-Up is the newest Sport Romance and Romantic Comedy standalone from Pippa Grant and she once again proved why she is one of my favorite rom-com writers, I loved Duncan and Addie’s story!
When Addie finds herself stuck in a dress in a fitting room, the last person she expects to help her is Duncan, the hockey player she was secretly dating a few years ago. With their jobs forcing them to work closely together and Duncan paying over 100k in an auction to go on a date with Addie, their old feelings quickly resurface and they both need to decide if giving each other a second chance is worth the risk of having their hearts broken again, especially with Addie’s aversion to commitment.
I always have so much fun with Pippa Grant’s books and this one was no exception. I loved both Addie and Duncan since the moment they appeared and was rooting so hard for them to realize how perfect they are for each other despite all the obstacles they were facing. Addie was a really badass FMC, she went through a lot in her life and I completely understood why she was so afraid of commitment but it was amazing to see her open up to Duncan and they had a great communication. Duncan was a perfect hero, he was so patient with Addie and the way he was always taking care of all her needs but also respecting her independence, I just loved him so much. These two have a great slow burn second chance romance and while it’s definitely a rom-com (I was laughing so much during some scenes, their first date was hilarious) I also liked how emotional this book was at times and watching Addie and Duncan overcoming their traumas was amazing. I also loved all the side characters, their antics cracked me up so many times and I can’t wait to see them again in this author’s other books.
The Secret Hook-Up is a really great sport romance and rom-com that I absolutely loved and definitely recommend to everyone. I already can’t wait for Pippa’s next book.
