Book review: Just a Little Hookup, by Carly Phillips & Erika Wilde


Dare Crossover series #1

Jessica Cavanaugh & Derek Bettencourt

Delicious! Another lovely romp by these talented authors!  Nikki’s brother Derek Bettencourt is now in the hot seat.  He’s being auctioned in a charity ball organized by Aurora Dare, in benefit of foster children.  Jessica Cavanaugh, Derek’s partner’s younger sister, is present, witnessing Derek’s ex-girlfriend bidding to win Derek for a weekend.  Watching Derek’s discomfort, she decides to join in the fray and wins him for the stunning amount of $150,000!

Jessica has had a crush on Derek since their high school years.  She’s given up on him because of her old insecurities from her chubby high school years.  She’s evolved into a stunning curvy woman, poised and self-assured, but some insecurities still remain.  Nevertheless, Derek is elated because he’s been crushing on Jessica lately, not daring to act on it in respect to her brother Ben.


This starts a fun and sexy romp, where Derek is instructed to spend the weekend at Jessica’s house, not for stud service but for chore boy services, as cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, painting the trim, etc.  It’s a fun weekend for Jessica, ordering him around, annoying for Derek, amusing for Ben, and ends in a lovely sexy night for Derek and Jessica.


Claire is always on the sidelines, doing her poison, while Derek and Jessica step around each other, developing their relation.


It’s a lovely story, entertaining, warm-hearted and steamy.  Love being in the world of the Kingstons, the Dares, and the Bettencourts!
