A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone
I bought this book for two reasons. One, I was drawn to the cover. Two, I have enjoyed Julie Murphy's young adult novels, so I was excited to read an adult novel.
This book takes place in Christmas Notch, Vermont, which is pretty much a town from a Hallmark movie, but real. Teddy, a porn producer is producing a movie for the Hope Channel. Right before filming is set to begin, the leading lady and several members of the staff are injured in a freak tusk accident. In a pinch to recast, Bee Hobbes, a plus-size porn star, is cast opposite Nolan Shaw, former bad boy boy band member. Nolan is using this as a chance to clean up his reputation and earn some cash to take care of his manic-depressive mother. Bee is using this as an opportunity to get into mainstream movies. For their own reasons, they have to be celibate during filming, which sounds good in theory. The problem is, Bee is Bianca Von Horney, Nolan's fantasy girl. He's, obviously, attracted to her, and Bee finds that she is attracted to him. They try to keep from hooking up, but can't. They have amazing sex, sneaking around so no one knows.
You're left wondering if they manage to keep things a secret and if they actually develop feelings for one another. There were many times I was on the verge of tears-both happy and heartbreaking. I really liked this one. I liked it so much, in fact, that I bought the sequel.
