The Hookup Equation is the 4th book in the Loveless brothers series, and it’s about the youngest brother Caleb. Caleb is a 28 year old first time math professor at a college in VA, Thalia is a 22 year old senior. They meet at a bar before the school year starts and things become heated between them, only to have Thalia walk into her math class the following day and find out Caleb in her professor. Of course they had no idea prior to that and they both had called it off right when they had found out. Throughout the book it became harder and harder for each of them to stay away from each other and so they decide to keep it a secret until she graduates in a couple of months. Through the book we get to catch up with Caleb's brothers who had books before this book, and we learn all about Thalia's family struggles. This was a really cute book, they both had made an instant connection in the weirdest of situations, they both share the same quirky humor, and the same big hearts. I went into this book having read and loving the other three books in this series but not sure exactly how I was going to feel with the whole student/professor relationship. However, it was very well written and not that odd to me at all. I routed for them to thrive and succeed and my heart shattered for them in the end of the book. I do have to admit Daniels book is still my favorite, but I think Seth's book may be a game changer. I did love the dynamic of Seth and Calebs relationship and that Seth stood behind Caleb when some people wouldn't in the same position. This was a very enjoyable read, and even though it’s not the first book in the series you do not need to read the others to be able to follow along. The only issue I really have with this book was there were a couple of issues in the book that were not resolved; between Thalia and her dad, knowing the outcome of if Bastian had told his parents his secret, as well as Calebs secret that had been brought up quite a bit in this book but nothing ever actually came out of it.
