Nothing like being left at the altar to sour a woman on men, but there is one man that Alexandra Cayne, aka Alexa, remembers fondly. Having met Raphael at her bachelorette party, he almost made her forget she was engaged at the time. Six months later, she is again at the club with her friends, but this time for a breakup bash. This time she is trying hard to remember THE FIRST RULE OF HOOK-UPS when her friends disappear, and his music starts up. Too bad she has a job lined up and will soon be gone. Or will she?

Raphael Dumond, aka Raphael the Dream Maker, remembered Alexa and when he finds out she is single he's ready to entice her into his arms. He might have worked on stage but he never planned on that being his forever lifestyle and seeing Alexa again, he is glad he is also a businessman. Owning the club might not be as sexy as dancing but it is much more honorable in some people's eyes.

THE FIRST RULE OF HOOK-UPS is a sexy, fun read that just happens to be the first Breakup Bash book by Nina Crespo. These two start out with plans for a one night stand, then they try a little longer, and a little more until they are in love. I have to admit that it did take awhile to get into the characters and for me to really get into a book, I have to find the characters at least compatible. These two are very compatible as they both work through their pasts, their problems and find each other. There has to be a conflict in all romance books and that is true with this one but seeing Alexa and Rafe work together to get through them is amazing.

If you want an engaging read filled with a steamy yet sweet romance, a couple who learn to depend on and back up each other with a supporting cast of characters that will make you smile, laugh and do just a bit of crying then THE FIRST RULE OF HOOK-UPS has it all and more.
