This totally had me at 'Your eyes are pretty too.'
A totally adorable, and cringe-worthily believable take on fangirling in front of your crush gives way to sparkling banter and heaps of sexual tension. When the story takes a darker turn, and the hero is left responsible for bringing up his teenage sister, I knew it was going to have a gutsier side too.
I can't wait to read more :)
So much is packed into the first few chapters included in this preview!
My emotions felt like they were on a rollercoaster. I laughed and smiled a lot at Kailyn and Daxton's meet cute, felt curious about their falling out and meeting again years later, and had my heart break a bit when Daxton became his sister's guardian.
There are a number of fun details that Helena Hunting throws in like Kailyn's mug that features the character Daxton played on a popular tv show years ago.
I cannot wait to see what happens next!
I’ve read a few of Helena Hunting’s books and enjoyed them, and judging from this excerpt I‘ll like this one too. Now I’m really looking forward to reading the book when it’s released.
This story is adorable. I was so excited that I got a chance to read the sample of Meet Cute for Netgalley and this contemporary romance did not disappoint in the slightest! From the very chapter I connected with Kailyn our heroine and felt the second hand embarrassment that came with all of her run ins with the famous Daxton Hughes. This sample is only the first four chapters, but hot damn did I swoon HARD with each of them. I love a Hero who will do anything for family, and I love a heroine that knows what she wants. I really just need the entire book in my hands right this moment. My heart needs answers.
I was really getting into this story when bam it ended! I love Helena’s writing style and humour. This book has a good start that you immediately love the main characters sass. I can not wait to read the rest of this story and find out what happens.
This was a great teaser for Helena Hunting's new book Meet Cute! I've read a few of Ms Hunting's books and have always loved her writing style. This book started off great and I can't wait to read the rest of it. Thank you to the publisher, Forever, for giving me an opportunity to read the first few chapters!
Amazing first chapters. I am dying to see how the book will continue. But the release date is so far away. Thank you for the chance to read this extended preview. I loved it. Helena rocks!!
I guess I've always associated "meet cute" with "insta-love" so I was suprised to find that this wasn't the case in this book. I love that both of the main characters here appear to have well developed back stories and their own solid friendships. I'm really enjoying the writing style and can't wait to pick up the full book. this extended preview just made me even more excited about it!
Daxton was the celebrity Kailyn had a huge crush on as a pre-teen and teenager.
On her first day of law school, Kailyn has a meet cute with Daxton. He crashes into her while he’s playing sports and she’s listening to a podcast, both totally distracted. When Kailyn recognizes him, she starts gushing “I love you!”
This gets even more awkward when they wind up in class together, he’s going into entertainment law.
Flash forward five years, they run into each other again when Daxton comes in with his parents to set up a trust fund for his sister.
Kailyn thinks Daxton is a jerk now because she thinks he sabotaged her standing in law school.
Then a devastating accident brings Daxton back to Kailyn’s law firm.
This was an extended preview, not a full edition of the book. It’s got good potential. I like the characters already and I’d like to read the rest of this story :)
In Meet Cute by Helena Hunting, Kailyn literally runs into Daxton Hughes, a former teen actor, on the first day of law school While they maintain a friendly relationship throughout the next few years of school, he ends up betraying her trust to get ahead. Five years later, he's back in her life as the sole guardian for his 13-year-old sister and he needs Kailyn's help.
This first look was fantastic! The story seems really interesting and unique and I was immediately sucked in to these characters' lives. I can't wait to read the whole book in April!
5 stars
I can't wait for this full book to come out. Fingers crossed I am granted the wish to et this book! I love Helena Hunting!!
This preview is perfect. It leaves you wanting more 100%, It was well written (like all of Helena Hunting's books).
Kailyn runs into Daxton (yes, literally) at law school. Her massive crush for her childhood movie star quickly dies when he takes the top spot at school. Her crush quickly turns to hate!
5 years later, who walks into Kailyn's office but Daxton and his parents. Kailyn has to put these differences aside and work together.
Based on this preview, I have high expectations and can't wait for the book to come out.
Thank you to netgalley for providing this ARC for an honest review
Well now! There's just nothing quite like an enemies-to-lovers romance, now is there? Oh yes, an enemies-to-lovers that includes a moviestar crush!! That's two tropes in one folks!! I'm loving it!
Seriously, I cannot wait to see how Dax and Kailyn's relationship continues to develop. They have some great chemistry if they can work through the hard feelings from law school. I can't wait to read the rest of the book when it is released in April! If it continues on this path, it will be a winner for sure!
Thank you to NetGalley for this preview.
I am so excited for this book! In this preview, we get some laughs and some (sexual) tension plus it pulls hard on the heart strings.. It seems like a good mix of classic hilarious and sweet emotional Helena Hunting. I will definitely be purchasing this book when it is released in April.
This was a great start. In the first four chapters of "Meet Cute" we already have story that is charming, funny, endearing and heartbreaking. The two main characters are extremely likable and I already have questions that I want answers to. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book!

<i>Meet Cute</i> by Helena Hunting actually seems, so far, like a really fun read. It fits well into the category of guilty pleasure reads, the sort of cheesy novel that you can pretty much guess the plot of from the very beginning. Starting with a meeting between the love interests during their Freshman year of law school, the story progresses with a time jump, many years later, when the story picks up. While I don't know if I'd say that the story matches the book's title, the novel definitely manages to capture your attention.
For the most part, I really enjoyed what I was able to read in this sample. It's definitely obvious that the character of Daxton is written by a woman as he doesn't feel quite real, but this doesn't really take away much from the novel as a whole. His voice feels similar to many romance novels, which can still be quite enjoyable. The pacing of the novel seems to be going well, taking some time to set up for the rest of the book but never dragging out too much. It's definitely a book I'll be looking to pick up in the future.

This was a short, quick, and easy read....and I loved every minute of it!
I told myself reading this preview would give me an idea if I wanted to buy the book upon release or not and all it did was make me want the finished copy even more than I did at first!
I love the characters Helena’s created and the premise of this story. I can’t wait for release day. I’ll have my copy with a warm cuppa and a thick blanket!
I received an extended preview of Meet Cute and it was so good! I want to pick this novel as my book club pick for April! I can't wait to be able to read the entire novel. The characters seem really interesting, and I am looking forward to reading more of the plot. Thank you for putting this preview together.
I will definitely be purchasing this novel when it comes out, and I will tell my friends to as well!
Thank you so much for the extended preview I cant wait until April to buy this book I will be taking it on my 2 week vacation. Seems like a really great spring read!
Great story, love when love interests from the past reappear as you never know what will happen. Really enjoyed reading and would like to see what happens next.
