⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Steamy, sweet, fun and angsty all at the same time – LOVED it!

Jessica Cavanaugh has had a crush on her older brother’s best friend, Derek Bettencourt, ever since she was young. At a charity bachelor auction she is goaded into bidding on a weekend with him, which changes the course of their relationship.

Just a Little Hookup is steamy, fun, sweet and angsty all at the same time. I had a lot of fun reading about Jessica and Derek. They were very different in some ways, with Derek having always been popular and successful and Jessica bullied through most of her school years, but in other ways they were a lot alike. They both had parents that wanted them to be people that they wouldn’t and were always critical of them, but they also both had a drive and were successful entrepreneurs. Derek in his business with Jessica’s brother, and Jessica in her up and coming about to launch Curvy Girl lingerie line.

I’ve been reading Carly Phillips for a while now, but have never read Erika Wilde before. They were a great pairing and this was such a fabulous and fun read.

Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.

So, why the new pen name? 

As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance.   However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you’ll care about and fall in love with.   That is always my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.

Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage.  The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s sizzling new relationship.

I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates.
