Book Review Meet Cute by Helena Hunting

Apr 212019

Meet Cute BLURB:

The New York Times bestselling author of Pucked and The Good Luck Charm delivers a Hollywood happily-ever-after where a famous heartthrob falls for his ultimate fangirl.

“As charming as its title, but it’s also so much more… Fans of Jasmine Guillory’s The Wedding Date and Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient will love Meet Cute.” —The Washington Independent Review of Books

Kailyn Flowers was always calm, rational, and controlled–until she ended up sprawled all over Daxton Hughes, the former actor she totally crushed on as a teenager. Then she did the unthinkable: She became a mortifying fangirl in five seconds flat, which may or may not have included professing her undying love. And oddly, he didn’t run away. In fact, their meet cute led to a friendship she never saw coming. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming, either…

Now Dax needs her help. As guardian to his thirteen-year-old sister, he’s in way over his head. And though Kailyn hasn’t forgiven Dax, she isn’t heartless enough to make him fend for himself, either. Soon their friendly meetings turn into flirty dinner dates, and Kailyn can feel their chemistry is as explosive as ever. But how can she possibly let down her guard again to a guy who has heartbreak written all over him?

I just cannot get this book out of my head. Meet Cute is exactly what I dared to hope I’ll get. It was so gorgeous, that it will join my re-reading list.

When you smile from your very first page you know it’s going to be good and just hope to God it’s going to deliver.

Kailyn runs into Daxton (literally) at law school. To top that, she just walked right at him and since she had a massive crush on her favorite actor from her favorite TV show “It’s my life”, She fangirls like crazy, as you can imagine. To make matter worse, she walks in her full classroom and falls into his lap AGAIN.

They put each other in a very competitive way and become some sort of friendly rivalry. Que 5 years after graduation, they meet again when his parents reach her to settle a trust fond for Emme, Daxton’s sister.

With heavy heart, his parents pass in a car accident, and his life turns upside down, now becoming a guardian for his baby sister.
It was a sweet romance started from a crush and little by little it becomes more. I felt the beginning a bit rush, but I understand this is only to get a background story on their years spent together as law students.

Meet Cute had a story line which was quite intriguing mixing a shady aunt, a battle for guardianship of Emme and Kailyn who is in the middle of all that as a neuter player.

The characters are well built, the storyline is smooth and all you have left is to enjoy a nice swoony rom-com with a happy ending.
