A Merry Little Meet Cute: A Novel
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.

4.5 stars! I loved this book! If you do not like spice-heavy books, "A Merry Little Meet Cute" by Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone is NOT the book for you. It is *raunchy*...and I loved every second of it! The story revolves around Bee, also known as Bianca von Honey, a plus-size adult film actress/ClosedDoors (ie: OnlyFans) superstar who gets roped into starring in a Christmas film by Teddy, who runs the adult film company Uncle Ray-Ray's where she works. Teddy is trying to break into the "normal" entertainment industry by producing said film for the wholesome Christian network the Hope Channel. Her main male co-star is going to be Nolan Shaw, a washed-up former boy band pop star in desperate need of work so he can help out his mother and sister. Nolan's agent gets his foot in the door with the Hope Channel starring in "Duke the Halls," hoping it will help rehabilitate his former bad-boy image. Little does Bee know that Nolan is her number one fan on ClosedDoors, and little does Nolan know that Bee has been obsessed with his former boy band INK since she was a teenager. Their attraction to one another is palpable and instantaneous. Unfortunately, they have both been told by their agents to "be good," and both of them have to keep the real reason they are in Christmas Notch shooting a Christian holiday film on the down low. Can they navigate this ticking time bomb and expand upon their rapidly growing feelings and lust for one another? "A Merry Little Meet Cute" is sexy, smart, silly, fun, and full of witty banter. It's a darn good read! I cannot wait to read Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone's back catalogs because these ladies know how to write top-tier steam! Whoooooa nelly, this book is seductive! This story has a lot to say about women in the adult industry, the devastating nature of superstardom, reinventing yourself when no one will take a chance on you, and staying true to who you are despite what you might present to the public. Bee and Nolan have SUCH good chemistry with one another. I was in insta-love with their insta-love. It's like they were made for each other. Their backstories kept me hooked from page one. The supporting players are also fantastic additions to the plot, including Teddy, Gretchen & her wild and out-there wife Pearl, Sunny (Bee's best friend), and Luca and Angel. I loved the fat representation, loved the bi-representation, loved the mental health awareness and the care and understanding for those who suffer from it, loved the fluffy snow-covered romance, loved the Christmas themed *everything* (including a strip club!), loved the positive outlook on seggs/seggs for pleasure/seggs work, LOVED the steaminess, loved the Christmas cheer, loved the juxtaposition between naughty and nice. This book is one red hot Christmas delight! Thank you to NetGalley, Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, Avon and ...

Cute! Really enjoyed a nice holiday read. Loved the sex positive aspects and openness of all the characters. Highly recommend.

Lots to say, first the men of INK boys are just dreamy and sad. Bianca is living the dream and should always chase her bliss. Angel needs to stop running. Uncle Ray Ray and Steph are a perfect match.

What happens when you cross a top rated adult (aka porn) film star (Bee) with former boy band member (Nolan) trying to improve his image? You get A Merry Little Meet Cute!! Oh this book was so fun to read. Just image this....an adult film star filming a Christmas movie for The Hallmark Channel and no one can know that the girl next door has an alter ego. That's what happens when Bee signs on to fim a holiday movie with Hopeflix. Does Nolan know who she really is? He sure does!! He's not about to let that out though, he has to much to lose. AMLMC is laugh out loud funny and fan yourself steamy all rolled into one awesome book!!
