Book Review: Meet Cute by Helena Hunting

Meet Cute
by Helena Hunting
Release Date: April 9, 2019
Source: Publisher
Talk about an embarrassing introduction. On her first day of law school, Kailyn ran - quite literally - into the actor she crushed on as a teenager, ending with him sprawled on top of her. Mortified to discover the Daxton Hughes was also a student in her class, her embarrassment over their meet-cute quickly turned into a friendship she never expected. Of course, she never saw his betrayal coming either...

Now, eight years later, Dax is in her office asking for legal advice. Despite her anger, Kailyn can't help feeling sorry for the devastated man who just became sole guardian to his thirteen-year-old sister. But when her boss gets wind of Kailyn's new celebrity client, there's even more at stake than Dax's custody issues: if she gets Dax to work at their firm, she'll be promoted to partner.

The more time Kailyn spends with Dax and his sister, the more she starts to feel like a family, and the more she realizes the chemistry they had all those years ago is as fresh as ever. But will they be able to forgive the mistakes of the past, or will one betrayal lead to another?


When I go into a Helena Hunting book, I typically expect a fun romance that will put a smile on my face. Based on this cover, that's what I thought I was going to get with Meet Cute. Unfortunately, the story inside was much more serious and not as lovable as I thought. 

When Kaitlyn literally ran into Daxton on the first day of law school, they sparked a friendly rivalry their entire time in school. Until Dax betrays Kaitlyn and they never speak again. Eight years later, Dax falls back into Kaitlyn's life and needs legal help. Kaitlyn wants to say no, but she finds herself becoming entwined in Dax's life with no sign of leaving soon. 

When this book started and showed us how Dax and Kaitlyn met, I thought it was so cute. Then, when they met again 8 years later and Kaitlyn hated his guts, I thought I was in for a super fun enemies to lovers romance. Then, the serious plot point was thrown in and the rest of this book was about Kaitlyn helping Dax through a really tough time in his life. I had a really hard time connecting with the characters and really caring about their romance. I didn't buy their emotions and it felt cliche how Dax didn't want to have a serious relationship because of a certain thing that was currently happening in his life. 

When it came to the plot, I was annoyed by how predictable the story was. I could tell a certain twist that was going to happen about 50 pages into the book, and that twist didn't come until over 300 pages in. I was waiting and waiting for the reveal that was supposed to be a "huge shock" at the end. I was more bored than not by the end and was not a fan of how serious this book turned out to be. 

Overall, this book just didn't have the sparkle Helena Hunting's books normally have. The romance fell flat and I wasn't that interested in the lawyer plot line with the predictable twist.
