The Hook-Up

This was actually a great read. For some reason I was expecting the novella to go straight to the deed, so I was pleasantly surprised to start off with the day in the office for Neil. Thinking about the first three books of the series I was glad to see my perception of Neil was 100% correct, and it was interesting to see where he stands on the ex/current girlfriend axis. Not that it wasn't clear before, but it was interesting to have it explained from his point of view.

Still thinking about the books, it was also weirdly reassuring to see how Neil thinks about Sophie and how he's completely smitten with her. He might be a little too smitten for my taste, but some people work like that and considering everything he went through it's not a surprise.

Forgetting about the series and looking at this from a Neil x Emir angle, it was great! I wanted them to go a bit deeper although I know that wouldn't have been possible, but it's not all lost; there's hint of a repeat or at least a get together and I'm going to keep an eye open for that.

Emir is great, I liked him since Sophie laid eyes on him. He's a great lover, he's dashing and he seems to be having an open and honest relationship with his wife (and I'm so curious on how that works, but I just might have to settle to a little glimpse), there's really nothing I didn't like about him.

Big thumbs up for safe sex all the way. It took a little from the eroticism of the scene, but I appreciate safe sex more.
