Not what I was expecting. Had the premise of being really good but I think the execution fell. The tension of the MC's "adult" employment being kept a secret didn't really feel needed when half the crew was involved in the same field. While there were a lot of spicey seems, they felt as if it was the same spicy motions but just a different background. (There was no build-up to a moment or different aspects despite a "suitcase" of ideas.) I did like the character of Nolan. I felt he was fleshed out more than the others because more of his backstory and troubles were discussed in a way that gave a good sense of who he was. I didn't feel that about the other characters. Lots of representation in this book for the LGBTQ community as well as those who have the diagnosis of being bipolar.

Decent rom com, little bit of spice, and lots of body positive, sex positive non-hetero characters which made it way more special than you’re average in the genre. Sadly I did find it was a really slow start and dragged as well in the middle. I’m honestly think it needed 100 less pages.

A raunchy spin on the traditional Christmas love stories. It was cute, rom-commy, and full of spicy deliciousness. The best clustf*ck of plot; everything kept falling apart, but in the end, it all fell together the way we all expected it to. I loved every minute of it and couldn’t bear to put it down.

I was very excited about this book but I don't know... I found I didnt feel the romance between Bee and Nolan nor believed when they said they were in love. I wish there was more scenes where they were acting in their movie as being in love and there were real sparks. I found their relationship mostly sexual. Also how Daniel acted after filming with the news was frustrating. And I will never think about gingerbread lotion the same ever again, it was just mentioned too many times.

at first I didnt think i would like this bc im not here for mainly smut but i actually ended up liking it alot. i really liked the pornstar and old boyband member, right up my alley lets be real. alot of the drama felt very...dramatic LOL that it kinda felt like a nothing but i overall enjoyed and dreaded it so u know it was pretty decent. i liked how they went about her being big, wish they kinda described more abt that instead of her boobs but whatever. it had a very interesting backstory and i appreciated all the different sides to it. kinda wish she had more that just being a pornstar but it was cool she was cool. i really loved the quote at the end where he said they looked like they were in a snowglobe but then that faded away and it was just them. kinda wish i knew more abt them tbh i like them together. im happy i finally picked this up, it left me with a good feeking and i had a fun time reading it. i would consider re-reading this tbh. am a little sad its over like they fit exactly my kind of people and i really do wanna know more abt them as a couple and their future. maybe in the next book!

When a porn star and a former boy band bad boy get cast in an innocent Christmas movie, the first word that comes to my mind isn't cute but that's exactly the word I would use to describe A Merry Little Meet Cute. I smiled through almost the whole book and truly couldn't stop laughing.

Bee and Noah have crushes on each other that are from their "before" lives. This makes for great tension and funny moments between these two. When the tension finally becomes too much, and they get together it is perfect! Not only are our two main characters great but the entire supporting cast is sweet and hilarious.

The characters in this story are well-developed and interesting. The story has perfect pacing. The spice is good without being over the top or overwhelming the story, which is hard to do when one of the MCs is a literal porn star. It's a quick and great read if you like a spicy rom com that will make you smile and laugh. I whole-heartedly recommend this book!
