A total disaster? Or the start of something special?

Kailyn Flowers always believed she was calm and controlled . . . that is, until she ended up sprawled all over Daxton Hughes, the former actor she totally crushed on as a teenager. Kailyn was mortified - not quite the meet cute she had always dreamed of - but Daxton unexpectedly sought her friendship as a result . . . only to heartlessly betray her soon afterwards.

Eight years later, Dax needs Kailyn's help. Years of anger towards him haven't exactly left Kailyn inclined to oblige, but she also isn't heartless enough to refuse. She vows to be friendly, but 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?

'Smartly plotted and perfectly executed rom-com with a spot-on sense of snarky wit and a generous helping of smouldering sexual chemistry' Booklist

'Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang's The Kiss Quotient. A fun and steamy love story with high stakes and plenty of emotion' Kirkus Reviews

'Entertaining, funny, and emotional' Harlequin Junkie

'You can't go wrong with Meet Cute' Bustle

I'm a huge fan of Helena Hunting. HUGE.
I struggled with this one. I had a difficult time with Kailyn, I guess you could say that I had a like/dislike relationship with her. Her grudge against Dax and her initial motivations were difficult for me to stomach. So, I had a hard time liking her at all.

As she got to know Dax and his sister Emme, she certainly grew on me.
Overall, I failed to connect with Meet Cute in the same ways I normally do with Hunting's other books.
