So Not Meant to Be

De: Meghan Quinn

Narrado por: Aaron Shedlock, Stella Hunter

From USA Today and Amazon Charts best-selling author Meghan Quinn, and narrated in duet by Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter, comes a fresh take on a romantic-comedy classic, When Harry Met Sally. This steamy, laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers romance is about an annoyingly handsome coworker and the woman who refuses to be charmed by him.

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, 24-7. 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.

Good story!💜

I really wanted to love this story but I didn’t. It was just okay for me. It was bad but I’m sorry I absolutely hated Kelsey.
IMO she was a bitch. I kept thinking that there was a reason from their past. Maybe he did something to her but didn’t remember. Maybe, she overheard him saying things about someone and she misunderstood the meaning. But there was nothing. Even when she realized she may have been wrong about him, she’d turn around and make a remark basically accusing him of being a heartless man whore who only cares about himself.
Then there were the sexual intimate moments they shared and including their temporary companionship dates together one minute and she still went out with a man she barely knew. She also seemed extremely together and strong one minute and totally insecure and scared the next. I don’t know perhaps if the book was 1/2 as long it wouldn’t have been so bad because I did actually enjoy the book otherwise. In fact, I just about died when he had a fake orgasm during that first dinner. This book was funny and romantic but Kelsey was way too judgmental towards JP especially considering she was actually making excuses at one point towards a man who complimented the color of her dress then left with other woman. She just sat there and took it. Sorry for the rant, she just got to me.
The narration was good. Both Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock did a fantastic job narrating their characters. Unfortunately, on the technical side, the volume had to constantly be adjusted to hear the story completely. But I’m a huge fan of Aaron Shedlock, he has a smooth sexy voice that I could listen to all day so for me he’s well worth the adjustments.
This book has an HEA and can be read as a standalone.

Would give a 3.5 stars

I wouldn’t want to give the book a full 4 stars. The “problem” at the end between the two main characters wasn’t as believable to me. So I just didn’t like how the book ended.

It missed a star for me, performance was amazing

For some reason I absolutely loved the 1st stand alone in this interconnect series but this one missed a mark for me.

Before anyone decides to not read/listen remember that this is my personal opinion and my likes may not be what others agree with, so for me the heroine was a bit too stuck on a mindset that every other chapter brought up those insecurities, while I understand to mention them a handful of times thru a book because let's face in real life we all go thru those moments it is the repetitive mention and thinking of it that got me done.

The Hero was also a bit too soft for my liking in the sense of when he finally decided to tell the heroine this is what I feel I would've liked some more passion not the just my heart out to you scene that was given and again this is my personal preference said scene may have worked for others.

The performance was excellent and I would recommend this for anyone looking for a book to listen too.

Definitely meant to be

I love how JP pursued Kelsey from the very beginning. I love her he just knew she was special. He may have been going about it in his old player ways, but once he realized that she as so much more, he flipped a switch & even she could tell. He was romancing her all along. Their friendship was definitely the perfect basis for their electrifying relationship. Kelsey was a little jaded from dates from the past, and she didn’t see herself for the gorgeous desirable woman she was…the woman JP saw all along. I love that he shared his name with her & how it effected him when she used it. Their connection was so special.
Excellent follow up to A Not So Meet Cute & I can’t wait for Breaker to fall like his brothers

Aaron Shedlock & Stella Hunter’s narration was *chef’s kiss*

A slooooowww burn.

3.5 STARS

What I liked:
1. The JP who woos Kelsey—the way he woos her, they way he talks to her, engages her, etc.
2. The humor! The slapstick physical stuff, the beyond embarrassing situations, and the pigeon infatuation (so adorable!)
3. I know many people disliked Kelsey for her insecurities, but that particular trait rang true for me. And I was able to better understand/identify with her

This book did take quite a while to get going, but once it did it rolled by quickly!
