A new standalone, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy by New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting.
Cosy Felton is great at her job—she knows just how to handle the awkwardness that comes with working at an adult toy store. So when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list.
Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City. The last thing he wants is to be put in charge of buying gag gifts for his friend’s bachelor party. Despite being totally out of his element, and mortified by the whole experience, Griffin is pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him.
As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off. Filled with hilariously awkward situations and enough sexual chemistry to power Sin City, Making Up is the next standalone in the Shacking Up world.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Making Up by Helena Hunting is a fast-paced romantic comedy that’s filled with witty banter and sexual overtures.
I’m going to come out and say it… the placement of this book in the series feels awkward and the story felt rushed at time, but overall I still enjoyed Making Up. I thought Cosy was hilarious and Griffin was charming in a boyish kind of way.
We once again had the evil villain here to cause an abundance of drama due to his evil selfish ways. I seriously cannot stand this man. You might recognize him from the other books in the Shacking Up series, specially Hooking Up, when he cheated on his bride ON THEIR WEDDING DAY! Throughout this entire series Armstrong has done nothing but caused problems for his entire family, but honestly without him… the series wouldn’t be the same.
Anyway, I really enjoyed how Griffin spoiled Cozy with affection and how they balanced the difference in upbringing. And the hand kisses? SWOON! Outside of Making Up feeling a bit out of order in reading order I enjoyed this fun, sexy story!
