Publisher's Summary

"You got married on your divorce-cation?"

That would unfortunately be correct.  

I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce, when I saw him - my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar, and all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes.

Drinks were consumed, fun was had, and then....one drunken conversation with a cranky gondolier in Las Vegas led to an Uber lift through a drive-through wedding chapel with the incredibly hot British bad boy Pike Greyson. On paper, it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. And if I wasn't fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him. 

But I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in. I asked for an annulment; he pulled a Ross Geller and said no. That's right, he said no! Instead, he asked for three months to prove we could be good together. 

Insanity clearly knocked him in the head, and the only way I could convince him to give up on our sham of a marriage was to show him just how wrong we were for each other. The only problem with that was, he saw right through my every prank, every trick, and every yearning emotion I attempted to mask.

I can't believe I wasted a credit on this drivel

Couldn't even finish this. Gave up halfway through but wanted to warn others. Don't waste your time

Don't waste a credit!

I liked the other books in the series, but could not finish this one. The story line was ridiculous but maybe it got better. I stopped at Chapter 6. If you like excessive use of the f-word, you might like this book.

Funny. Flirty. Swoon worthy.

LOL! LOL! LOL! This book was funny and flirty!!!

I absolutely loved Cora and Pike. Also, these narrators were amazing in these roles. They brought this story to life.

I loved the banter between these two. It was fun having the secondary characters show up again.

Imagine getting so drunk, you get married on a dare by a stranger in Vegas to the new teacher at the school your best friends and brother teaches at. Cora tried so hard to get Pike’s attention and he always brushed her off. Then Vegas…

Oh my gosh, the lengths Cora went too get rid of Pike? And the lengths he went too, to be a good husband? Hilarious 😂

This book was funny, flirty, swoon worthy. Meghan Quinn at her best.

Cora and Pike gets 🌟🌟🌟🌟💫

Cora and Pike

Cora is Arlo's sister. Arlo's book is Put Me In Detention. Pike is a British teacher st Arlo's school. Cora has had a crush on Pike for several months. Both of them end up in Las Vegas for Cora's divorce-cation. Cora gets drunk & meets up with Pike who doesn't know why Cora is there. They end up getting married. Cora didn't want to be married and tries her best to get Pike to leave. Pike has his reasons for wanting to stay married. He asks for three months to prove that they should stay married. They begin to fall in love with each other and then his father tries to ruin their marriage. There are some hilarious antics as Cora tries to get Pike to leave. Pike became one of my favorite people in this series.
I enjoyed listening to Vanessa Edwin and especially John Hartley's British accent.

Full of laughter and fun

Cora is on her divorce-cation with her friends in Vegas and happens to see Pike, who happens to be a teacher along with Cora’s brother and some of the girls on the trip with her.

Pike has his reasons to want to try and make the marriage work but Cora is determined to try and get rid of Pike. She pulls so many stunts that are just hilarious to make him want to leave.

Meghan is my number 1 comfort read author. I go from laughing to smiling to blushing and all over again through her books and this was no exception. There’s always inevitable heartache but all the rest of it makes those moments worth it.

I was lucky enough to get early access to the audio and I think it made some of the scenarios even better to hear vocal reactions. I’ve always read Meghan’s books then “reread” them on audio as a comfort when needed. This was my first time having audio as my first experience and I LOVED it. It was a whole different experience and I highly recommend this audio to everyone!

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

ARC/audio review

A True Masterpiece!!

This Author Never Disappoints With Her Outstanding Story Lines And Characters Who Fit Their Role Perfectly! A Must Read!!

Hilarious and wonderful

Such a great narration! The story line is hilarious but also super sweet! I really enjoyed this couples journey together ❤️

Playfully sexy and brilliantly performed!!

5 Shining Stars!!
Put Me in Detention is playfully sexy and brilliantly performed!!

The story is beautifully crafted and brilliantly performed by Vanessa Edwin and John Hartley. The way in which they brought this story to life make me forgot about the characters flows I found while reading the book. This is in deed a well deserved 5+ stars in their excellent performance.

Cora and Pike’s story is hilarious, enjoyable, entertaining, and fun. I guaranteed is going to have you laughing and enjoying every minute of it.

Yikes

The story was pretty long, it wasn't the problem. The problem was when the female narrator had to speak the scientist's voice. She sounded like Data from the star trek movies (like a robot) It was very hard to listen to. The rest of the voices were good.

Great narration

The narration was great. The story was just okay for me. I liked the characters and the premise of the story. However, I felt like it dragged out too long without a good reason.

Another great Meghan Quinn listen!

Leave it to Meghan Quinn. Cora went on her divorce-cation only to end up married to someone else. I spent a ton of time cracking up while listening to Cora & Pike's story play out! The story was told in a way that only Meghan can tell it. Lots of steamy scenes too! Excellent Narration by Vanessa Edwin & John Hartley.

Swoon worthy and hilarious!

Recently divorced, Cora and the girls go to Vegas to celebrate! Cora is on a mission. Have some fun and forget her past for a night. Who should also be there, but Pike, the handsome British history teacher? He tends to ignore her, but tonight she takes him on, and when they wake up with hangovers, he next day, they also have wedding rings. She has no intention of staying married. After her failed relationship, she is no interested. But Pike needs her to stay married now to keep the foundation he and his brother have started intact. Will these two find their true feelings? I love this series, so many good characters. The girls are so much fun, as they navigate through their own relationships and try to help Cora. The best is Kiki, and her new, found best friend relationship with Pike. This is a funny, quirky and romantic story that had me smiling the entire time!

Narrated by the talents of Vanessa Edwin and John Hartley, I was mesmerized for hours. Edwin is fantastic as always. She knows how to drill into her characters and make them her own. Each voice she uses is perfectly specific to their personalities and makes the story interesting. Hartley has a smooth and sensual voice as Pike. He creates his characters with finesse and gives each one their own identities. They both have incredible comedic timing, and their voices complement each other. Meghan Quinn picked cast the perfect team for this romcom.

A Fabulously Delightful Story & Listen🎧📚🎧

Meghan Quinn pens another winner of a novel, she is a master at creating entertaining stories that contain a perfect balance of drama, humor, steamy romance and heartfelt emotions. Her characters are realistic, easy to relate to, connect with and care about. Coraline “Cora” Turner and her friends are celebrating her divorce in Las Vegas when she spots Pike Grayson, a Brit who teaches American History in Forest Heights, the same school where her brother works. Pike had his reasons to come to the US to teach, mainly to get away from his father’s manipulative ways. Arlo Turner was not exactly thrilled about a Brit teaching American History, but Pike got the job, anyway. Not having him on his side should be reason enough not to get too close to his sister, but the two of them hit it off in Vegas, so much so that after a fun night on the town fueled by fireballs, they wound up getting married. After giving it some thought, Pike has an idea to make this drunken mishap work for him. Cora wants the marriage annulled, but he refuses, tells her he wants to make a go of it and moves in with her. Cora comes up with a plan to make him want out and delivers her best, or should I say her worst, to make it happen. I loved how every played out in this romantic comedy, the witty dialogue and shenanigans are hilarious, these two were great together and for each other. Secondary characters are fabulous, shout out to Keiko and what comes out of her mouths, she is such a nerd, an adorable one. Meghan Quinn, thank you for another fabulously delightful story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Vanessa Edwin and John Hartley are the perfect cast to bring these characters and their story to life. They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that fit the character’s persona to a tee, accents and all, sounding believable in every role they played and just as I pictured the character to sound. They set the perfect tone for the story, handle the humor and witty dialogue effortlessly and landing it with missing a beat. You could hear how much heart they put into their work as they capture the characters’ emotions and project them into their performance. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another wonderful listen.

A great deal of fun

4.5 stars I've really enjoyed this series. Keiko once again brought the humour and although I wasn't always 100% agreeable with what Cora was thinking/doing, I loved how this didn't shy away from showing the good and the bad of a new relationship, even if it did start in not the most conventional of ways. Pike was so much fun and his friendship with Keiko was adorable. Vanessa Edwin & John Hartley do an amazing job portraying the characters and the audio was yet again the star of this show. I volunteered to listen and review an early copy of this. All opinions are my own.

Vegas Fun to HEA

Cora and Pike. They started out with a drunken night in Vegas on her divorce-cation and ended up with an HEA.
The in-between put me through a lot of feelings . I really enjoyed the part in Vegas but then I was mad at Pike. Later on, I became VERY ANGRY at Cora. Then I ugly cried and I hated them both. At the same time, I loved them both so much and really enjoyed this book.
The side characters are also great, with Keiko, once again, stealing the show. Vanessa Edwin was great as Cora and this book reminded me how much I like John Hartley.

I loved it!

This is a great Romantic Comedy. I loved the characters, the banter, the push and pull relationship, the sizzling chemistry, and the sweet romance. Cora is lovely, and determined. Pike is handsome. The supporting characters are great! I loved to see again Cora's friends, Stella, Greer, and Keiko. Some scenes are hilarious!! I love the friendship in this story. This novel is interconnected with Earn You Extra Credit, and See Me after Class. Vanessa Edwin and John Hartley did an excellent job with the narration. I enjoyed it.

Vanessa Edwin, John Hartley Performance is fantastic. They will pull you right into the story

A Brilliant Fake Relationship Romance Read

After finishing up Earn Your Extra Credit with Pike making his way onto the scene, I was eagerly anticipating Put Me In Detention. Cora and Pike seemed like an opposites attract kind of couple but they find themselves married in Vegas and now both are trying to figure out what they are going to do about it.

I loved Pike's persistence at the start of the book to remain married to Cora. The whole scenario provided lots of laughs, while Cora tried many creative ways to get Pike to run away and serve an annulment. They seem to go head to head a lot but both are just as stubborn as the other and neither would back down. Of course their true compatibility begins to show through and I really enjoyed seeing them both slowly give in to the attraction between them.

With a great plot, awesome secondary characters Put me in Detention really is a great read from start to finish. I have listened to the Audiobook also and I found Vanessa Edwin's performance brilliant. The narrator for Pike (John Hartley) gave a good performance; but I found his English accent as a Brit myself a little posh and stereotypical, but that is a personal preference on my my part.

The bonus of this book is the HEA that is served up for Keiko too. Her friendship with Pike was unexpected but oh so perfect, it was the sweetest relationship and I adored these two characters in scene together. Meghan left me satisfied with her newest release, with a few jaw dropping surprises when it came to Pike along the way (I think we need a book set in this world he came from) and left me wanting more of his brother Killian too.

Glorious Greyson

There’s no point turning back now. I have you. I want to keep you.”

Gah!
Pike was all kinds of dreamy.
It was the little things that made him so glorious. The forehead kisses, the gifts—even if sent in jest—the slight touches.
The way he cared for, protected, supported, and loved Coraline was incredible.

While I saw what was coming a mile away, it didn't lessen the blow.
It. Was. Rough.
And when you have a character like Cora—who was frustratingly stubborn—it makes the battle THAT much harder.

Greer, Stella, and Keiko had me cracking up. Good lord, some of their text threads were absolutely hilarious. I loved the teasing between friends!

While I usually offer unlimited praise for Mrs. Quinn's books, this one I had a few issues with.
That being said, it was still a delightfully entertaining and well written story that I thoroughly enjoyed.

It was, also, a very enjoyable listening experience.
John and Vanessa did an amazing job with the narration.

5 Fireball Stars

We’re back with the teaching staff at Forest Heights High School, Put Me In Detention sees sexy British teacher Pike Greyson marrying Arlo’s sister Coraline ‘Cora’ Turner in Vegas following a very drunken gondola ride. Instead of getting an annulment, like any sane, sensible person would, Pike uses the situation to his advantage and moves himself into Cora’s little apartment. Much to Cora’s dismay. For the record, Cora does not want to be married to Pike, no matter how much she’s ‘swooned’ after him in the past. She wants him out, and she’s willing to do pretty much anything to get rid of him. Herein ensues a laugh out loud, fun and steamy rollercoaster ride. Alas, all fairground rides have to come to an end, and Cora and Pike’s ride has a few unexpected twists and turns that cause this ride to come to a crashing halt. So many emotions between these two, I loved them. There was also a very unexpected constant throughout this story, Keiko, she really comes into her own, I love her brutal honesty, and we get to see a more emotional side to her this time round. I loved her unexpected friendship with Pike, so sweet. The audio version is narrated by Vanessa Edwin and John Hartley (new to me), and they were perfect, all the feels and all the emotions coming through. The story has interconnecting characters from previous books, but this can most definitely be read as a standalone.
