The Hookup Dilemma by Constance Gillam
4.0
Rashida Howard is a food critic who is trying to save her grandmother’s neighborhood from becoming one of Marcus Quinn’s projects that caters to the rich.
Elliot Quinn is an architect who owns his own company and fills in for his father after he has a heart attack.
After a long of day at work, he takes notice of a beautiful, confident woman and then goes to a bar. It so happens that Rashida is frustrated that Marcus wasn’t in that she ends up at the same bar. It’s lust at first sight for Elliot. They end up having a pleasant evening by going out to dinner and then proceed to have an unforgettable night in a hotel room.
Imagine their surprise when the next time they see each other, they are on opposite sides of the land issue. From here on out, Elliot has to balance a budding romance, loyalty to his father and doing what he thinks is the right thing.
First of all, I just have to say that I love this cover. It immediately drew me in and I told myself, “I HAVE to read this”.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved how intense Elliot and Rashida’s chemistry is. That was one thing that I noticed right off the bat. They were drawn to each other like moths. I was expecting more of a strangers to lovers to enemies to lovers vibe but this was actually really sweet overall. I will say it has more of a frenemies to lovers vibe! There was a little bit of tension in the beginning but they actually communicated about a lot of things.
I loved the family dynamics in this book. It was so interesting to see the loyalty that both mc’s had to their own families. I also want to say that I LOVED how strong Rashida is. She is a confident and powerful woman. And she absolutely wasn’t afraid of going against the norm and fighting for what she believed in and to protect her grandmother.
