ARC Review: So Not Meant To Be by Meghan Quinn

Am I friends with JP Cane?

Ha! That’s laughable.

Besides the fact that he’s adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can’t be friends and work together, it’s safe to say we’re not friends. He’s annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons . . . multiple times a day.

So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we’re sharing the same air, twenty-four-seven. We’re talking full-fledged working roommates.

The man doesn’t know what it means to wear a shirt, thrives off protein bars, and you guessed it, moans loud enough for people to believe he’s Meg Ryan in a restaurant.

Spoiler Alert: I WON’T be having what he’s having.

Tack on his continuous flirting and his polished good looks, and I’m caught staring down the barrel of a seductive temptation that makes it hard for me to sleep at night.

But guess who can control herself? This girl.

Because if there is one thing I know for certain, it’s that JP Cane and I are so not meant to be.

This story kept me laughing and I’ve never been a fan of pigeons but I really want to meet Kazoo. JP stole the show from the beginning. Even when he was being kind of a jerk, it was obvious he was trying to protect himself. And with good reason, since Kelsey was pretty rough on him. I liked her but she was tough to take at times, just abrasive and insecure so she wasn’t nearly as much fun as JP. The relationship here is complicated since their siblings are engaged and they have to work together but none of that really mattered as much as they thought because the one true obstacle for them was her hang-ups. This was a fun read, even when JP was struggling with his feelings. Or maybe especially when he was struggling because damn do I want to see that shirt. I’ve thought about it far too many times since I closed that book. Their story was funny and steamy and JP is one of my favorites from the author. I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
