Making Up by Helena
Hunting
Synopsis:
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.

Review
Helena Hunting has another winner on her hands. From the awkward minute Griffin and Cosy meet, there is an underlying interest, but she doesn't want to acknowledge it. As she helps him find party favors for a bachelor party, where he looks and appears to be uncomfortable and embarrased, she starts realizing how nice he is and how good looking he is. He gives her his number and asks her to call him, even though he doesn't believe she will.
A couple days later, she does in fact call him and they go out on a date. They seem to get along great, but she is hesitant. He is a decade older, and she usually doesn't date older men. Against her better judgement, and because it is only a casual relationship with an experation date, she agrees to keep seeing him. When he finds out that she is a virgin, he takes care of her before, during and after. Unfortunately, their happiness is short lived and he doesn't know if he can get her to give him a second chance.
Some of the situations they found themselves in seemed really insurmountable, but they both had to dig deep to decide if they can work past the havoc that hs become their lives. Geting over the first hurdle, which is a big hurdle, was hard, but they were better for it. I am glad that what they believe happened didn't actually happen, but you don't find that out until later.
The second hurdle, his ex fiance, is a piece of work, but essentially pulls them apart. Unfortunately, they are both brokenhearted, even though he does the 'right' thing. As soon as he finds out the truth, he does everything he can to get Cosy back, but will it be too late? I loved how Griffin dealt with his cousin and his ex. Even though Griffin had a lot of baggage and Cosy was younger, she proved to be the rock he needed and the light he needed to live happily.
There were some funny parts of this book and some upsetting parts, but throughout it all, Cosy and Griffin proved why they belonged together, despite their age and monetary differences. I can't wait to read more in this series. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest, voluntary review.
