A Not So Meet Cute
Ratings62
Average rating3.7
How did you two meet? The quintessential question asked to every couple. And the answer is usually some bubbly, lovey dovey tale of being struck in the bum by Cupid's arrow. My meet cute (well not so meet cute) is slightly different. I was trolling a wealthy neighborhood in Beverly Hills, searching for someone to take me as their bride, you know, to make my arch nemesis jealous who consequently just fired me. He was stomping around the block like some sort of gorgeous ogre, mumbling about a business deal gone wrong and attempting to finagle his way out of it. And that's when we bumped into each other. There were no sparks. Not even a hint of blossoming love. But next thing I knew, I was scarfing down free chips and guac, listening to this man lay out all of his problems which led to his big ask . . . he wanted me to be his Vivian Ward, you know, from Pretty Woman--minus the frisky behavior. We're talking about living in a mansion, intimate double dates, and pretending we were head over heels in love . . . and engaged. Can you imagine? The absolute audacity. But people do crazy things when they're desperate. And I reeked of desperation. So, I struck up a deal. My one big mistake, though . . . big . . . HUGE? I accidentally fell for the incomparable Huxley Cane.

''I am. I'm very much attached to you, Lottie. I don't know how you did it, bum I'm addicted. You're not going anywhere.''
ARC provided for Candi Kane PR in exchange for an honest review
This wasn't my first Meghan Quinn book, but was my first ARC of the author and I was so freaking excited, I love Meghan's writing style and I knew this book wouldn't disappoint me.
So, we have these characters, Lottie and Huxley, that have an interesting first meeting and decide to help each other. When they start this agreement Huxley is a different person, it's more serious and it's all about the contract they have, his only goal is for everything to go well and for Lottie to behave.
And then Lottie, being Lottie, likes to push Huxley buttons. She's the opposite of Huxley and I really love her, love her personality. Lottie is chaos in Huxley's perfect and organized life, so yes, she's the kind of character that I like.
The side characters were funny to read, especially Lottie's sister and Huxley's brothers, I hope we can read more about them.
The book was so easy to read guys, and was fun, and of course, our grumpy, robot male character that his mission is not to throw compliments at the girl, has his romantic side and does some things for her giggling
So, go to read this book, the tropes are: fake engagement, fake pregnancy, contract, forced proximity
The baby class was one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. I loved the banter between Lottie and Huxley.
Laugh-out-loud funny, charming, sexy and all that jazz befitting of a romance novel.
