Title: “So Not Meant to Be” – A Hilarious and Steamy Enemies-to-Lovers Romance
USA Today and Amazon Charts best-selling author Meghan Quinn brings a fresh and hilarious take on the classic romantic comedy “When Harry Met Sally” in her latest audiobook, “So Not Meant to Be.” Narrated in duet by the talented Aaron Shedlock and Stella Hunter, this steamy and laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers romance follows the story of a woman who refuses to be charmed by her annoyingly handsome coworker.
The protagonist of the story is a feisty and determined woman who finds herself at odds with her coworker, JP Cane. JP has adopted the far-fetched notion from “When Harry Met Sally” that men and women can’t be friends and work together, much to the protagonist’s chagrin. To make matters worse, JP is annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has a knack for pushing all of the protagonist’s buttons on a daily basis.
When the two are forced to travel to San Francisco for work and share a penthouse, the protagonist finds herself in a difficult situation. She’s caught staring down the barrel of a seductive temptation that makes it hard for her to sleep at night, especially with JP’s continuous flirting and polished good looks. However, the protagonist is determined to control herself and prove that she won’t fall for JP’s charms.
Quinn’s writing is sharp, witty, and full of humor, making “So Not Meant to Be” a delightful and entertaining listen. The banter between the protagonist and JP is a highlight of the audiobook, with their constant back-and-forth adding an extra layer of tension and chemistry to their relationship. The duet narration by Shedlock and Hunter brings the characters to life, with each narrator perfectly capturing the essence of their respective characters.
One of the strengths of “So Not Meant to Be” is its ability to subvert the traditional tropes of the enemies-to-lovers romance genre. While the idea of two coworkers who can’t stand each other being forced to work together is a familiar one, Quinn puts her own unique spin on the concept, creating a story that feels both fresh and engaging. The protagonist’s determination to resist JP’s charms adds an extra layer of tension and anticipation to the story, keeping listeners hooked until the very end.
Another highlight of the audiobook is its steamy scenes, which are both sexy and hilarious. Quinn’s ability to balance humor and heat is impressive, and the result is a romance that is both entertaining and swoon-worthy. The chemistry between the protagonist and JP is palpable, and their eventual coming together is both satisfying and well-earned.
“So Not Meant to Be” also explores deeper themes of trust, vulnerability, and the importance of communication in relationships. As the protagonist and JP navigate their complicated feelings for each other, they must confront their own fears and insecurities, learning to open up and be honest with each other. This adds an extra layer of depth and emotional resonance to the story, making it more than just a simple romantic comedy.
In conclusion, “So Not Meant to Be” is a must-listen for fans of romantic comedies and anyone who loves a good enemies-to-lovers romance. With its sharp writing, engaging characters, and perfect balance of humor and heart, this audiobook is sure to leave listeners laughing, swooning, and eager for more. Meghan Quinn has once again proven herself to be a master of the genre, and “So Not Meant to Be” is a testament to her skill and creativity. So what are you waiting for?
