Blurb
Bee Hobbes (aka Bianca Von Honey) has a successful career as a plus-size adult film star. With a huge following and two supportive moms, Bee couldn’t ask for more. But when Bee’s favorite producer casts her to star in a Christmas movie he’s making for the squeaky-clean Hope Channel, Bee’s career is about to take a more family-friendly direction.
Forced to keep her work as Bianca under wraps, Bee quickly learns this is a task a lot easier said than done. However, it all becomes worthwhile when she discovers her co-star is none other than childhood crush Nolan Shaw, an ex-boy band member in desperate need of career rehab. Nolan’s promised his bulldog manager to keep it zipped up on set, and he will if it means he’ll be able to provide a more stable living situation for his sister and mom.
But things heat up quickly in Christmas Notch, Vermont, when Nolan recognizes his new co-star from her Closed Doors account (oh yeah, he’s a member). Now Bee and Nolan are sneaking off for quickies on set, keeping their new relationship a secret from the Hope Channel’s execs. Things only get trickier when the reporter who torpedoed Nolan’s singing career comes snooping around—and takes an instant interest in mysterious newcomer Bee.
And if Bee and Nolan can’t keep their off-camera romance behind the scenes, then this merry little meet-cute might end up on the cutting room floor.

My Thoughts:
I am usually not fooled by the cute covers at this point, but I saw so many people recommend this one I hadn't stopped to read the blurb so I got a fun surprise. This book is cute on the outside spicy on the inside.
I really loved how how thought what would make filming a holiday movie more interesting. What if half the crew and the heroine had previously only worked in adult films? The comedy created by this setup is never ending and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also like that the book took a break from the comedy to explore the stigmatization of the adult film industry.
I also loved Bee and Nolan's Relationship! The sexual tension and pining was so well done and I always love it when there is a curvy heroine and the hero loves her curves. I also thought Nolan's family issues were well done and interesting.
If you want to add a lot of laughs and some spice to your holiday season I highly recommend grabbing this one! I can't wait to read the sequel
I listened to the audiobook version of A Merry Little Meet Cute and it didn't entirely work for me. It is duel narrator which I liked but I didn't completely like how the narrators did other character's voices. It stopped bothering me after a while but it wasn't my favorite audiobook.
