Bummed because this one really did not work for me. We read about Meegan in the other "Loose Ends" books and one of the Beards & Bondage books, but honestly she was not that interesting to make a standalone book about if this was anything to go by. Fake relationship and dating a billionaire are some of the most famous romance tropes out there. But, Weatherspoon didn't really do much with it and I have to say again, I am just a little tired of reading about fictional billionaires.
"Meegan" follows the title character Meegan. She's a kindergarten teacher who feels bereft after all of her relationships have turned into pairings. In some cases, she's still invited to participate, but she just wants to find someone who loves her and who will be into her lifestyle. Her friend Xeni recommends her to her friend, Olin (FYI, it still didn't make any sense how these two met and become good friends) who is in need of a fake girlfriend. Meegan finds herself thinking about Olin romantically, and Olin definitely likes her, but Meegan has to see if he's going to be okay with her lifestyle and what she needs to be truly happy in bed.
The catching feelings phase of Meegan and Olin didn't even make sense. I didn't get why they liked each other. And with all of the reasons why Meegan was not doing too much with regards to sex because of all of her heartbreak from her prior relationships with her partners....I just went what is happening here. It also did not help we had so many characters from other books show up and some of the relationships (Shep and Claudia) were not written in character for them at all. I just thought the last scene was written without any thought of how they all got there. I also had a huge issue that Olin did not seem (or was not written) being into this new lifestyle change. He wanted to be with Meegan. It's mentioned he's autistic, so I am shocked no one talked about how that may be considered before he just jumps into "dom" training. It just didn't feel real at all. It seemed a lot of talking and people telling Meegan how lucky she was. I was glad to put this one down.
