A Merry Little Meet Cute: A Novel: 1 (Christmas Notch)

Product Information

It was steamy but I didn’t really feel their connection nor did I really care that they were having sex. There were maybe four full scenes? I’m really not sure. It’s probably a 3.75🌶 but again I just didn’t care. Him watching her videos online in a separate room was way hotter than them together. And yes I know figging doesn’t make sense for this book but I had to do it for the pun of it all.

I cannot stand this book, but I really tried. I listened to the first 40% on audiobook (didn’t like it but thought maybe it was the narrators). So I switched to the physical book, and . . . OMG. . . it was so much worse. I thought maybe I needed to give it some time, but nope. Besides the fact I can read these sentences coherently, I don’t like a single thing about this story.b) Any former boy band member whose ring tone IS HIS OWN G.D. SONG is a douchecanoe. Do not pass Go. Do not even think about getting in my underwears. I loved that this was a co-written book, and you honestly wouldn't know it at all just from reading it. I thought Murphy and Simone did an exceptional job of making the story completely seamless and their styles blended together perfectly to make a funny, emotional, and HOT cohesive story. Another thing that maybe made me love A Merry Little Meet Cute even more was the audiobook which is narrated by Joy Nash & Sebastian York. They made the characters even better, and I LOOOOVED York's voice. It was such an enjoyable read and listen, and the romance was top-notch. I would also say that if they made this a closed-door romance, I could totally see it on the Hallmark channel. If you are ready for a hot and heavy story with some holiday vibes, I urge you to get your hands on this book. Bonus, the physical copy is beautiful and includes a map of Christmas Notch, VT! You're welcome.

Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star she falls in love with. As soon as I saw the cover and authors, I knew I had to get my hands on this! A Merry Little Meet Cute is Julie Murphy's and Sierra Simone's first book collab! And it is a Christmas Book! I adore holiday books and am so happy to have read this because I’ve been missing the holidays! Christmas in July!!! As we read, it was fun to imagine that Bee and Nolan exist in a slightly skewed version of our reality, one in which the Winter Olympics took place in Duluth and boy bands created by reality TV shows actually made it big. Also one where our two lovable doofuses of main characters actually believe that the holiday movie aficionado fanbase doesn't interact at all with the adult industry fanbase. Look, is it ridiculous that they believe they're going to get away with making a completely chaste Christmas movie without a single person recognizing Bee from her (quite popular!) CloseDoor account, much less her (even more popular!) adult films? YES, it is ridiculous. But it's ridiculous in the same way that a time traveling ducal romance that teaches you the meaning of Christmas is. The audacity of this magical author duo to sneak in and steal Christmas in the sexiest way possible . . . the charming holiday romp you absolutely need in your life!’ TESSA BAILEY Looking for a little bit of spice from your Christmas romance? . . . A refreshingly entertaining and sexy read, which also features some great plus-size representation’ PopsugarAll that is to say we had a TON of fun reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone who can suspend their disbelief for 25 chapters. It's truly an Xxxmas book for anyone who loves romance AND the holidays. (Yeah we've been trying for 3 paragraphs to work that pun in, sorry if it doesn't land.) This was the perfect balance of everything I love in a spicy romcom and everything i love about cheesy hallmark movies! It had the over the top Christmas setting and names, but with a spicy flare I’ve never seen before in this setting! The characters were absolutely hysterical and I found myself laughing out loud constantly. When things start to heat up on set, Bee and Nolan must keep this steamy affair under wraps, or risk ruining everything . . .

Also I despised that he used gingerbread soap to jerk off. I’ve been horrified of the stuff ever since my grandma had Bath & Body gingerbread man hand soap. I spent the night oscillating between wanting to vomit and wanting to saw my own hands off with a rusty butter knife. The way Nolan is constantly objectifying Bee during his inner dialogue made me want to punch him in the face. Yes, she's the film star you've been masturbating to for the last 6 years, but she's more than her body, you disgusting POS.This was such a fun book to read! I adored the plot; whats not to love about the MCs filming a Christmas movie together!! It adds a lot to their tension, mainly because of the forced proximity! The setting adds a lot to the romance! I love the small town romance aspect, but not just any small town, one of the small towns we see in Hallmark movies! Honestly, the whole book was one (extra) spicy Hallmark movie, and I loved that! My only other complaint is that they kept referring to Bee’s “suit case full of sex toys” but they NEVER USED THEM and I definitely wish they had lol Overall, a fun and extra steamy Christmas rom-com with lovable characters! Definitely read if you like: Overall, this was a bummer. I do think a lot of readers will enjoy it for what it is -- spicy holiday zestiness -- I just expect a lot more from my romance than this. Having said that, I would warn any mostly-YA readers from jumping into this one. For all that it read YA-ish, there is a lot of adult and sex content, so maybe work yourself upto this one if you're new to the steams. Or don't, YOLO! I wanted to be able to give this one a higher rating solely because of the inclusion of a fat FMC who also happens to do sex work (like, hell yes, more of this rep) but ultimately the good bits, which were more in concept than any kind of execution, just didn't make up for the rest. And in that sense I mean mostly that this was boring, frustrating, and unbelievable.
