I’m doing something a little bit different today. Only one book! You may remember from last week that I am doing a buddy read of A Merry Little Meet Cute by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone. That is scheduled out for this week and since I’m in the process of taking a trip to Disney World this has been perfect for me. Only a little bit to read per day which I have easily been able to handle. This book is not in any way one you would pick up and think, “Oh, Tessa will love this!” Not at all. But yet I do. It’s smutty as get all out but the smut never crosses the line into crassness, and it’s infused with so much humor. The characters just have a really great attitude and I love that.

  • Genre: Holiday Fiction
  • Pages: 425 pages
  • Publisher: Avon
  • Publication Date: September 22, 2022
Cowritten by #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy and USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone—a steamy plus-size holiday rom-com about an adult film star who is semi-accidentally cast as a lead in a family-friendly Christmas movie, and the former bad-boy pop star she falls in love with. 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. Though it all becomes worthwhilewhen 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 ClosedDoors 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.

Since I am book light today, I thought I’d share my NetGalley Shelf so you can get a peek at what’s to come in the first half of 2023:

What are you reading? Do you love it?

    I was panicking a bit over my NG shelf, but after seeing yours I feel a little better, lol. Have a fabulous time at Disney, Tessa!

      I need to post mine regularly so everyone can see how manageable theirs is 🤣. It’s hard to believe that I received so many widgets but I guess the two or three per week have a way of adding up.

    Have fun at Disney! I don’t mind a bit of smut especially when it’s infused with some good humor.

      You would like this one then. It’s very smutty but such a unique take and their is some depth.

    I’ve had my eye on Merry Little Meet Cute, but I was debating on whether or not I should read it! I think now I’m going to have to!

    Enjoy your slow read and your holiday. I’m so jealous. And your Netgalley list looks amazing, but a bit daunting. Have fun reading all of them.
