๐ญLaugh Out Loud Moments
It is a delightful blend of romantic comedy and witty banter, making it an enjoyable read for fans of contemporary romance. The story follows the classic trope of a fake relationship.
The story centers around Lottie, a determined and quick-witted woman who finds herself in a sticky situation, and Huxley, a brooding billionaire who needs a fiancรฉe for appearances. What begins as a mutually beneficial arrangement quickly spirals into something far more complicatedโand far more real.
Lottie and Huxley, have an undeniable chemistry that leaps off the page.
Lottie is a breath of fresh air as a heroine. She's strong, independent, and doesn't shy away from speaking her mind, which leads to some truly hilarious moments. Her interactions with Huxley are filled with sharp, witty banter that makes their growing attraction palpable.
Huxley, on the other hand, is the epitome of the modern romance heroโrich, handsome, and emotionally guarded. Yet, as the story unfolds, readers get to see the layers beneath his stoic exterior, revealing a man who is vulnerable, caring, and unexpectedly sweet. Their banter is quick, clever, and often laugh-out-loud funny, which keeps the pacing lively and the reader invested in their relationship.
However, despite its strengths, "A Not So Meet Cute" isnโt without flaws. Some plot points are predictable, especially for seasoned romance readers, and the story occasionally leans too heavily on clichรฉs. There are moments when the pacing drags, with certain scenes that feel cringe. Additionally, while the characters are charming, their emotional arcs sometimes lack the depth needed to fully connect with the reader, making some of the more dramatic moments feel less impactful.
Overall, "A Not So Meet Cute" is a charming and entertaining read. It's perfect for anyone looking for a lighthearted romance and plenty of laughs.

โJust when you think youโve hit rock bottom, when you donโt think thereโs 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.โ
โSometimes itโs not the beginning that screams romance, but rather the journey.โ
โAnd just like that, Iโm a taken man. Fucking besotted. This is what I want. Her, in my arms. Exactly like this.โ
โYour helping heart. You donโt let people see it; you hide it away from the public eye. But as a spectator, having paid close enough attention, Iโve seen it, and itโs beautiful.โ
โI want more from you. And I know this crosses the line of our agreement, but I canโt pretend I donโt have feelings for you, because I do. I like you, Lottie. I like you a lot.โ
