Am I friends with JP Cane? Ha! That's laughable. Besides the fact that he's adopted some far-fetched notion from the movie When Harry Met Sally that says men and women can't be friends and work together, it's safe to say we're not friends. He's annoyingly loud, obnoxiously handsome, and has made an art out of poking all my hot buttons...multiple times a day. So you can imagine how disgruntled I am when I not only have to fly to San Francisco with him for work, but stay in the same penthouse. Yup, we're sharing the same air, twenty-four-seven. We're talking full-fledged working roommates. The man doesn't know what it means to wear a shirt, thrives off protein bars, and you guessed it, moans loud enough for people to believe he's Meg Ryan in a restaurant. Spoiler Alert: I won't be having what he's having. So Not Meant to Be by Meghan Quinn was published in June 2022. This is the second book in Cane Brothers series.
It took me awhile to start this book after the first one. I wanted to wait till I needed a break from dark romances so I can get a good start on some humor. This book though, started slow but I was so happy once it felt like it was at a good place. I loved that it was two characters that we already had a connection with. Also love how we knew somewhat of their backgrounds before this book because of their siblings background. The two characters at first felt flat and that their relationship was hiding in the shadows. Then once the book picked up around the middle of it the characters started to round out more. They became people that I knew and started to really like. I love how both characters at first were against them having a relationship outside of the workplace. But how he fell first and and asked for help. I really enjoyed this story and the humor throughout. I can't wait to read about the last Cane Brother because I have a feeling he is going to hit the ground running.
Quotes That I Loved
"A man and a women who find each other attractive and who work together will never be able to be friends. There will always be a giant elephant in the room, and that elephant's name is Sex. It's basic human math, Kelsey. We all need to climax, and when we find someone who's attractive, we want that person to help us climax."

"...Because, JP, if I wanted you, I would want to steal, consume, and savor every second I had with you."
