The Hookup: The Jordan Brothers

The Hookup is the first book in The Jordan Brothers series by Erin McCarthy and definitely a great start to a series that I want to read more of. Erin McCarthy usually writes books about flawed characters that gravitate to one another out of necessity or need and this story is no exception. Cain and Sophie decide that each other is the perfect hookup, but what starts as something meant just for fun and only one night becomes a habit that neither one wants to break. I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.

Erin McCarthy, an New York Times bestselling author, gives us the The Hookup, book one in the Jordan Brothers series. YES, there will be more Jordan men, insert happy dance. I just love the fact that both these characters are flawed in the most realistic way. Sophia with her safe zone and her OCD qualities. Cain drinking himself away. This is so well written that you are "hooked" from the beginning. The story just keeps flowing right on smoothly till it is over. Two different personailities that seem to have instant chemistry that becomes explosive. Sophia is all about the numbers, there is a solution to everything, but she spends so much time working towards her PhD, that she forgets about having a love life. Up in Maine for her sisters wedding, she decided to do a little experiment and walking into the bar that first night..Cain seems to be the perfect man for the job. Cain is stuck in life. His twin brother, Christain is not who everyone thinks he is. Not knowing if the son that Christian is raising is his or not. So drinking at the bar has become his life. One night in walks a tourist and there is no playing around with her, she is different and possibly the one who makes him want to change. One thing I would like to point out as an example of how well written this book is, is that Sophia has accepted herself. She knows her quirks and how they might upset people but she is still doing her own thing, at times it may be hard but she keeps going. That is a life lesson for everyone. 4 healing stars **Review by Lisa, Late Night Reviewer for Up All Night w/ Books**

This is a surprisingly sweet and emotional romance. Cain & Sophie's romance is amazing in the way that two complete opposites find their way to happiness. Erin McCarthy writes a story that hooks you from beginning to end. You are charmed by Sophie's OCD and quirks, and similarly enticed by Cain and his devil-may-care/tortured hero persona. I look forward to more of these brothers and their shenanigans as the series continues.
