Review to come, I accidentally got this one and didn’t download before archive. Will read and update

I’ve been edging this book for close to a year and it was everything I wanted and more 😍😍😍 Super funny, really steamy. The chemistry between these two was perfection. Great fat rep for the heroine. Love that both the MCs were queer. All wrapped up with an adorably festive bow. If only Hallmark movies were like this lol

A hot holiday read for anyone interested in a much spicier romance than seen in a typical Hallmark Christmas movie... but still featuring a Hallmark-esque Christmas movie. Highly recommend!

This story was a lot of fun! I loved Bee so much and also loved Nolan. The two of them together were perfect. This was a great holiday romcom and I definitely want more from both authors.

Despite the cover, A Merry Little Meet Cute packs a smutty punch! The writing is funny and the characters are lively. The small town setting is fun. This is overall a nice holiday read!

This book wasn't for me, but I can see why readers would enjoy this book. The characters and storyline are interesting, but there were too many porn references for my taste. I think the story could still have been told with fewer references. Personal taste.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book follows a 🌽star who takes a part in a Hallmark-esque Christmas movie, where her leading man is her teenage crush, a former boy bander. They each have secrets they’re trying to keep from each other, while also finding themselves falling in love with one another. I liked the sex positive message of the book, but I didn’t love the Insta love, it’s just not my trope for the two main characters to just fall in love right away. Still a very cute book and perfect for the holiday season!

"Merry Little Meet Cute" is a delightful rom-com that captivates from the very first page. The author weaves a charming tale of unexpected encounters and heartwarming moments, keeping readers eagerly flipping through the pages. The characters are endearing and relatable, each with their own quirks and vulnerabilities that make them feel like old friends. The meet-cute moments are cleverly crafted, injecting just the right amount of sweetness and humor into the storyline. With its festive backdrop and cozy atmosphere, this book is the perfect read for curling up by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa. While the plot may follow some familiar tropes, the execution feels fresh and engaging, making it a standout in the genre. Overall, "Merry Little Meet Cute" is a feel-good read that leaves a warm glow long after the final page is turned.

This book was absolutely phenomenal. The premise was stunning, and I love the normalization of sex work in this book. Plus the characterizations of the two main characters were absolutely perfect.

This was a fun romance! If you’re a person who loves to read on theme with the seasons and holidays, this is for you! It made me laugh out loud a few times but sometimes the romance felt a bit flat. If you’re looking for a light holiday love fest - this is for you!

A Merry Little Cute is just an amazing, steamy beautifully written Story that you won't be able to put down.

I Cannot Recommend it enough to all readers. A Must read.

When Teddy Ray Fletcher goofs up and gets his Porn Studio headshots mixed up with his Totally Legit Movie Studio headshots, it's Bee Hobb's big break. The adult film star gets cast in her first non-porn feature for the fictional equivalent of the Hallmark Channel opposite former boyband heartthrob turned hard up for cash actor Nolan Shaw. Nolan also happens to be one of Bee's biggest *ahem* fans but of course, he can't let her know that, she can't let him know she was a hardcore fangirl of his and about her real career, and Teddy Ray can't let anyone know about, well, anything.

Set in a picturesque, Christmas-themed town (complete with a strip club named The North Pole) and on the set of a Bridgerton-esque Christmas movie, 'A Merry Little Meet Cute' was exactly what I wanted. As with Julie and Sierra normally, the smut was top notch and the bisexual rep was fantastic. I can't wait to read the sequel

When Bee (a plus-sized adult film star) is cast in a Christmas movie for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, her co-star is an ex-boy band member, Nolan. Bee had a childhood crush on Nolan, while he is the biggest fan of her ClosedDoor account. If Bee and Nola can’t keep their off-camera romance under wraps, their meet cute might not end of being so merry.

I’m a fan of Julie Murphy’s other books, so I was excited to read this. And I liked it! Warning: it was racy. I listened to it, and I found myself skipping some parts because it was a lot.

Such a sweet lovely Christmas novel - I devoured this on my couch, perfectly cozy one weekend around the holidays -- I would highly recommend the exact same vibe to any readers interested in this novel.

"A Merry Little Meet Cute" was my first book by either author; overall it was a bit of a mixed bag for me.

I loved how sex and body positive the story was and it was a super fun premise. It was so fun to have all of the porn industry people "hiding" on the set and that led to some genuinely funny moments.

There was some super great chemistry but I didn't end up buying the deeper connection between our MCs - we only saw a couple deeper conversations (and this was after they've already said how much they feel for each other), so I didn't feel like that was paced out very well.

Additionally, there were a few too many subplots going on to keep my interest totally engaged, but overall this was a quick fun read!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was pretty fun! Porn star gets cast in a hallmark Christmas duke movie with a washed up boyband star looking for his comeback. As always, good bisexual rep; generally believable drama with real issues. Not too tidy resolution.

I wasn't quite connecting with this one and I had to DNF with the possibility of picking up in the future. Bahhhh, I hate doing this. Thank you for the opportunity to read the book and I apologize for the inconvenience.

The cover of this book is A++. That's unfortunately the only thing I really loved about it. It was fine, but as soon as i finished it I couldn't tell you what it was about. Nothing for it or against it.

I had heard this book was spicy but WOW I was still caught off guard! However, I really enjoyed it (as I do everything I've read by Julie Murphy) and I'll definitely be looking into Sierra Simone's titles now as well.

I was excited to read this author duo for the first time and I was so put off by the first 10% of this book. I can see the appeal to a very specific group of readers but unfortunately I am not in that percentage so I decided to DNF.
