When she begs me to come on a weekend getaway so I can bond with her new boyfriend, I can’t say no—no matter how badly I want to. After all, who will keep an eye on the guy; he’s your stereotypical, professional football player (emphasis on PLAYER) and I don’t trust him with my friends heart.
Worse? He has the nerve to bring his single best friend Davis on the trip, too. Davis is too handsome, so funny and smart he can’t possibly be human. Grandma’s, babies and kittens all fall for his smile.
In fact, everyone adores but me **narrows eyes** What’s he hiding?
I refuse to fall for his act; at some point he’ll will drop the Good Guy act and show his true colors: he’s a player, too. He must be.
You know the saying: if he seems too good to be true, he probably is.

Let me start by saying Meghan had me craving a grilled cheese sandwich and I had to make one for dinner the other night.
I loved everything about this book! And the epilogue was my favorite, I was so hoping to get that for the epilogue and M.Q. did not disappoint. I don’t even know where to start on this review, I thought Lottie was hilarious and someone I’d want to be friends with. Huxley was likable for about 2 minutes and then became unlikable for a while. I knew he was good though and he was putting a shield up, you get little glimpses of his big heart but you get more of the stiff businessman and billionaire, that is until Lottie breaks him.
“My heart aches for him. But my heart is also wary. He’s playing tug-of-war with my heart, ripping and tearing it in every direction, stirring up anxiety and uncertainty.”
These two characters were so perfect together they both brought out each other’s strengths and good qualities. I definitely shipped them from the beginning. ;) I actually sent my friend a message telling her she needed to read the book and read it as soon as she could because I loved it that much and wanted to be able to talk to her about it.
So what happens when a billionaire is trying to make a deal and flat-out lies to the guy he’s making a deal with? And what happens when an unemployed business major goes searching for a rich husband? A Not So Meet Cute!! From Lottie and Huxley’s initial interaction to their last Meghan had me devouring this book. Talk about HOT, this book will leave you panting and wanting more. I love me some dirty talkers! There is so much to love about this book from Huxley’s brothers, Dave and Ellie, and Lottie’s family that I don’t want to give too much more away. Just know that you will be laughing one second and fanning yourself the next, you may also get mad but M.Q. takes you right back to smiling again. I’m hoping we get more of this awesome bunch! J.P and Kelsey, please!!!
“Just when you think you’ve hit rock bottom, when you don’t think there’s any way you could climb the mountain again to find happiness, you stumble across a trail, one that has its bumps and bruises, but offers a gorgeous outcome.”
This was one of the best fake fiance, enemies to lovers, romantic comedies I’ve read!
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.
