Hooking Up by Helena Hunting

Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw.

Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn’t holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him.

They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical. 

Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy from Helena Hunting, the New York Times bestselling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up.

Hooking Up is a fun, sexy, and sweet read that will have you laughing out loud and rooting for the heroine, Amalie. 

Amalie gets humiliated during her wedding reception, when she hears her new husband getting a little way too friendly with a guest. So what is a mortified bride do? Find the nearest, hottest man and get revenge. Ok, it didn't quite work out for Amalie with her rebound guy--she more than embarrassed herself with him. So she takes off in hiding and the perfect getaway from all the drama is to go on her honeymoon. Alone.

But Amalie gets a surprise when the hot man, she tried to seduce ends up at the same vacation spot. Their chemistry is hot, but both decide it's best to leave their attraction on the island. But it's not that easy, when family and friends start to mix into their relationship. 

I was really pulling for Amalie--her husband is a total jerk--one of the most a-hole characters out there. And you think leaving him would be easy, since what he did, but Amalie will find out it's not. Another fantastic read from this author.
