It started off rough for me.
I felt Huxley was a complete asshole….which only made me want to continue reading to see how he was going to dig himself out of his lies.
But the chemistry between him and Lottie was fire.
So many laugh out loud moments, some tears and some gasps with this one!
Overall, a definite must read!

I loved this book! It was the perfect beach read! I was laughing out loud and kicking my feet. Huxley and Lottie are so lovable. It’s such a fun, lighthearted read with low steaks and just enough emotional scenes.
My biggest complaint is the third act break up that was so far out of left field and lasted for like 24 hours. It was so unnecessary and did not match with Lottie’s character growth.

This was my first Meghan Quinn story and I figured I’d enjoy it because I appreciate the tropes of the story.
One thing I was not prepared for was the involvement of pregnancy in this story, so be warned.
I have mixed feelings on the book.
Things I enjoyed include: the funny banter between Hux and Lottie, the slow burn sexiness of this story and the alpha possessiveness of Hux with Lottie.
Things I really didn’t enjoy include: Lottie’s absolute fixation on how Angela is a terrible friend and screwed her over (girl… you knew this for ages, get over it…), her inability to stop crying at the end after Hux accused her of telling Ellie (I get it, you’re betrayed and sad, but that you can’t stop crying for 24 hours after a few weeks seems a bit… much), the fake pregnancy angle (again, why?!) and the absolute robotic nature of Hux throughout most of the story.
The potential for more was here and it isn’t going to stop me from
Checking out more of her stories, because the writing wasn’t bad and the spice was nice, but this story did require you to suspend belief in realistic timelines and to believe that a handsome, rich, billionaire wouldn’t have women knocking down his door.

I was hoping this would be a sweet romance novel based on the cover and title. That’s not exactly what this was. Lots of graphic sexual scenes. Sometimes the characters’ chemistry seemed off and it reminded me of 50 shades of grey. If that’s what you are looking for you will love it.

A Not So Meet Cute is the first book of the Cane Brothers series by Meghan Quinn. It is a super cute and easy-reading contemporary romance. It’s witty and has some spice and is overall a lighthearted read.
I liked Lottie right off the bat. But Huxley, well, it took some time for him to win me over. I love the bond Lottie has with her sister and that Huxley has with his brothers. I enjoyed the banter between Lottie and Huxley. Their journey from despising each other to acknowledging their real feelings for each other is a fun one.
This is an enjoyable and quick read and I will definitely be continuing the series.
