The Hookup Dilemma, Constance Gillam

Story Blurb

What happens when a random hookup turns into the ultimate dilemma?

Rashida Howard has never been a one-night-stand kind of woman, but she has good reason for making an exception with Elliott after meeting him in a bar. Cliché? Yes. Utterly amazing? Absolutely. Regrets? None.

Elliott Quinn is a workaholic. The one night he decides to break his routine, he has an encounter with the woman of his dreams. But no matter how amazing they are together, work will always come first.

Both of their lives get turned upside down when they find themselves on opposite sides of an ongoing fight between Elliott’s company and Rashida’s community. Though their chemistry is undeniable, neither of them will risk their integrity…or their heart.

And just when they think they might have found a solution that benefits both sides, they uncover a secret that will change everything.

My Thoughts/Opinion

I thought the premise to this story was very cute. And I really wanted to like the characters, but Elliott was at times a total beta, and at other times, an over the top alpha. Just couldn't get a good read on him. I struggled to reconcile that their one time hookup could turn into insta-love on Elliott's part. I would have like to see Rashida work a little on her side for their HEA. If I was giving out stars, this would be a 2.5 - 3.
