My love wand is on a strike.
As bad as that blows, pun unintended, it’s ten times worse for me. I’m a male escort, but not just any escort, I’m the escort. The one with a mile-long waiting list and a pristine reputation that’s very well-deserved.

Today is the release date for THE HOOKUP HANDBOOK and I couldn't be more excited!!!! 🦄
This is a standalone contemporary romance. If you've never read a book of mine, this is a perfect one to start with.
I love it so much. There's STEAM, there's some comedy that will make you laugh - and OMG, who doesn't love to laugh??
If you're like me, and you use reading as an escape, this will be your jam. 😍

I don't know. I just wanted more. I was so intrigued by Case, but this just did not live up to what I thought it would be based on the last book. I think my favorite part of the last book in the series was the male escort trope, but this really wasn't present in this book. This book does the same thing as the last book where the author would say something like "the conversation flowed easily" and I still wanna know what they talked about. I just want more I don't know.

The Hookup Handbook was a terrifically fun and entertaining read. Combining my two favorite troupes, best friend’s sibling & workplace romance, this book hit all the marks that I was looking for and then some.
Told from dual points of view, The Hookup Handbook follows the story of Sienna and Case. From the moment I met these two, I just knew their story was going to be explosive and boy was I not disappointed. Their chemistry was instant and completely off the charts. Sienna is smarter ...more

Passionate, frisky, and sweet!
The Hookup Handbook is a charming, enticing tale that mixes the intelligent, hardworking Sienna who’s determined to help her new boss meet his deadlines this summer but not fall for him, and the cocky, successful Case who may just take the risk and act on his feelings for his best friend’s little sister who seems to be able to help him with more than just his career woes.

When the best male escort in town whose waiting list is almost impossible to get on because of his well-earned reputation finds himself having problems with his equipment, Case Smith knows he’s in trouble. But when said equipment decides to perk up exclusively for his new assistant who also happens to be his best friend’s younger sister, he absolutely knows he’s doomed because Sienna isn’t just beautiful, she’s smart, driven and doesn’t put up with his nonsense.

I'm in a buying books mood because I don't have any books left anymore (In my mind, my kobo says otherwise..) so when I saw one of my friends reviewed this one I knew I needed to have it.
Because let's be honest the blurb does sound intriguing and kind of hot?!
It was a fun and steamy book with a little side drama if you can really call it drama! I'm actually wondering if there is a guy out there that brought out a book like Case did? If so that would be exciting to read too!

I liked this, but didn't love it. The romance didn't make a ton of sense to me, and I don't know why I continue to purchase and read workplace romances because all I can think of is how entirely inappropriate the whole situation is the whole time I'm reading. I also didn't love that Sienna is basically treated like her brother's property — he had no business reacting the way he did to seeing his adult sister on a date. Should they have mentioned it? Maybe, since they both knew him, and it might

gross... the blurb really is about a dick? yuck.
The Hookup Handbook was such a fun and light, yet utterly steamy read! I took a bit of a break from indulging in Kendall Ryan’s books, but this only reminded me why I enjoyed her swoony, toe-curling romances.

When it comes to the ins and outs of sex and intimacy, Case Smith is a pro, and I mean that in every sense of the word; because for the past 8 years, he’s been a male escort, sleeping his way through a never-ending list of clients, but even though he’s damn good at his job and keeps his female clientele more than satisfied, the stress of running a business, managing his employees and their schedules as well as an upcoming book deadline that he’s barely started and it makes sense that his sex dri ...more

Kendall Ryan never fails to deliver with her romances! I always enjoy a good best friend's sibling romance and this one was definitely full of chemistry and sparks!
Case has been running his escort business for many years and during all of that time he was also servicing clients, well, until recently. He noticed that he was having more and more trouble "performing", but he couldn't figure out why. Throw in that he ...more

The opening line of the description was the hook...well, partially the hook since I’d already met Case in Boyfriend for Hire and really wanted to know more about him, but if I hadn’t already been curious, then that linke “My love wand is on a strike” would have been all that I needed. But I have to say, this was a fun, cute, quick and smexy read that was low on angst but high in sexual chemistry that only got stronger as the book progressed.

The Hookup Handbook by Kendall Ryan is a charming, sweet, sexy ,funny and entertaining read. Case and Sienna’s love story was exploding with passion, heat and feels. The chemistry between Case and Sienna was super intense and fabulous. I always love reading a best friend's sibling romance and this was a really great one. This had a twist on the BFF sibling romance and I loved the characters in this read. Really liked the epilogue in this story and can't wait to read more from Ms. Ryan because sh

By now y'all know that best friend's sibling/sibling's best friend books are my kryptonite and Kendall Ryan does such a great job with them! Add to that the whole escort angle and this was just a fun, HAWT time from beginning to end. Case and Sienna are so stinking adorable together (just like the cover) and whenever they were on the page together it just sizzled. The Hookup Handbook is the perfect quick and breezy pick-me-up I needed and one I'll definitely be reading again! It's another great

Case met his match!!!! Who would’ve thought that his best friend little sister would be the one to make the biggest escort think about changing profession. Sienna wasn’t intimidated by Case and that just attracted him to her even more. She was attracted to him from day one but never put up with his bs. This was a quick but spicy office romance/vest friend little sister story with no drama and hot scenes.
It was nice catching up with Nic and Elle but mis it’s time for Ryder to settle down, 😊.

Oh, I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book in this series. Case was a sweet, thoughtful hero with just the right amount of cocky. Sienna was smart, outspoken and suffered from a serious case of no brain-to-mouth filter, which I loved. The romance was definitely on the instalust/instalove side a bit but it didn't really bothered me that much in this story.

What a sweet romantic, entertaining, fun book! I love this author's books especially her latest releases.
We met Case in the previous book Boyfriend for hire, as the owner of the escort agency. Case has been running his business and escorting for years until recently when he notices that he's not enjoying his job anymore. Something was missing and he was having a bit of trouble in the bedroom as well and he was too busy writing his book!

The Hookup Handbook is a sexy, fun contemporary romance that I *may* have finished in one sitting!

Case may come across as a conceited playboy but it is quickly apparent he has donned this persona as a form of armour when he decided to start a male escort service. Case prides himself on his satisfaction guaranteed promise to the point he has been contracted to write a book to give insight to the male species on how to truly satisfy the woman of their choice. Unfortunately, Case has hit a roadblock in the form of a physical rebellion and lack of inspiration. That is until one of the escorts, R

Kendall Ryan once again reminded me why I love her books so much – for great amount of sexiness, friendly characters that immediately gain my sympathy, interesting plot and humor. You can find all this in The Hookup Handbook! And what’s interesting in this story? You'll find out soon!

Another flirty, light and fun addition to Escorts, Inc.
This is Case's story and from what we had already learned about him, he is the master at what he does. He is so good in fact, he is writing a book about it and owns a lucrative business around it. Except it's not all sunshine and playboys. Being overwhelmed is not good for the writing mojo nor his clients. Then when his colleague and friend gets his little sister a job with Case things go from one type of frustration to another.

This one starts off a little slower than other titles, but not necessarily in a bad way. There was a lot of this story in the setting, in who they were to one another before they even meet, and it gave it depth. I think we have all had that job that talking about is a little awkward, although I think for most of us, it's in a pie shop or wearing an awful uniform while selling hot dogs in a mall.
