Jordan Collins doesn't need a man. What he needs is for his favorite author to release another one of her sexy supernatural novels and more people to sign up for the romance book club that he fears is slowly and steadily losing its steam. He also needs for the new employee at his local bookstore to stop making fun of him for reading things meant for "grandmas."The very last thing he needs is for that same employee, Rex Bailey, to waltz into his living room and ask to join Meet Cute Club. Despite his immediate thoughts-like laughing in his face and telling him to kick rocks-Jordan decides that if he wants this club to continue thriving, he can't turn away any new members. Not even ones like Rex, who somehow manage to be both frustratingly obnoxious and breathtakingly handsome.As Jordan and Rex team up to bring the club back from the ashes, Jordan soon discovers that Rex might not be the arrogant troll he made himself out to be, and that, like with all things in life, maybe he was wrong to judge a book by its cover.

This was a pretty cute story with just enough conflict to be interesting, and a HEA ending (apparently making way for a sequel, but doesn't feel open-ended). I didn't really care for either of the main characters, though, and felt that they were both a bit one-dimensional.
My main issues with the book are in the writing and editing. The POV constantly switches back and forth between the leads within chapters with little more than an extra space between paragraphs to let you know who's head you're in. It only got confusing a few times where I had to re-read parts to make sure I know who was speaking but it's just bad writing.
The characters, besides maybe Jordan's grandmother, were all boring and we never really get to know any of them enough, even the main leads. Rhett/Rex gave me very little to like, and was seemingly always in control of the action, while Jordan was a total wet towel (until Rex needed a tiny bit of comforting and then he was suddenly an alpha type???).
This is an enemies-to-lovers sort of tale, mostly because Rex is a total dick, but it ends with this grand declaration of love between them that I felt came sort of out of left field. They should have just remained friends and could maybe become more of an item after actually getting to know each other.
Overall, only recommended if you need a quick read with a HEA but otherwise, it's very meh.
so many gr readers seem to love this but it was just lacking in many ways for me
- this book is reliant on ‘tell, don't show' and essentially only focuses on physical meetings with rex and jordan (so we're TOLD that they text after the fact but we don't see the texts or even a scene where they're not talking to each other face-to-face)
- because of that it felt too short and like key scenes with development for characters and the overall story were missing
- the sex scenes were super cheesy
idk it just wasn't as good as i thought it would be
