About this listen
From USA Today best-selling author of The Highland Fling comes a brand new romantic comedy about a desperate billionaire seeking to find a fiancée. This modern day take on Pretty Woman is brilliantly clever and hilariously pause-resisting.
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.
©2021 Meghan Quinn (P)2023 Meghan QuinnThis book has some outrageous antics, the pregnancy classes they attend were hysterical, and I really felt that all the loose ends in the book were tied up by the end. I absolutely love the cover, it is so vibrant and, well cute.
I struggled a little with consent in this book, there was some implied consent, but also some moments where I felt like I would have preferred enthusiastic and active consent. I also find a lot of the drama in a fake relationship trope is created by the characters and avoidable. While this is the case for A Not So Meet Cute, I found the issues resolved quickly and I very much enjoyed that they did not drag on.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Aaron Shedlock and Ava Erickson who brought Huxley and Lottie to life. I am really curious if they were able to read some scenes with a straight face or if they needed a few takes.
Overall this was a fun story and audiobook and a nice escape.
I received an ARC and ALC of this book and voluntarily give my review.
