Love Is in the Air at Blue Cypress Books
For the average book lover, tales of romance offer a simple breath of fresh air in a sea of novels often bogged down by unadulterated seriousness. The romance genre, especially in the realm of the modern writer, has become one dominated by witty protagonists, steamy (almost) kisses, annoyingly attractive love interests, and oh so many beloved tropes. For the seasoned romance reader, these tropes are recognizable from a mile away. We all know the childlike innocence of a best friends turned lovers storyline, the classically awkward love triangles that incite factions in a readership, or even the harsh rush of a forbidden love. Among all these clichés, one might venture to define the big kahuna of such as the good old enemies to lovers narrative. In all honesty, how could you not adore a loving couple that (seemingly) hated each other when they first met? For local book lovers looking for the satisfaction of witnessing the slow rewiring of a playful relationship from archnemeses to the polar opposite, Farrah Rochon, author of The Dating Playbook, has a new novel just for you. The Hookup Plan is on its way to fulfill all our enemies to lovers dreams, and Blue Cypress Books will be celebrating its release at 5:00 pm on Saturday, July 30 with the author herself. Love is in the air, and you're invited to witness it
The Hookup Plan
More than just our
favorite trope of enemies to lovers, Farrah Rochon's The Hookup Plan centers
on strong female friendships. In fact, the storyline begins with the main
character London Kelley's best friends Samiah and Taylor helping her to
de-stress through a simple suggestion: an easy hookup with no strings attached.
Funnily enough, London ends up fulfilling her plan at the least likely of places
with the least likely of people: at her high school reunion with her
millionaire archnemesis, Drew Sullivan.
Filled with tension - that's
more than sexual - London finds her hookup plan to be a little more complicated
than originally thought. As a pediatric surgeon sleeping with the man who just
may shut down her beloved Austin hospital, things can get a little messy, and
when the enemy proves to be kinder than she thought, those things only
get messier. Lovers of romance won't want to miss out on the comedic
satisfaction of these archnemeses getting together on a whim… and (hopefully)
making things work.
