Review: Meet Cute or Your Money Back by Katana Collins

Meet Cute or Your Money Back by Katana Collins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via the author and Literally Your PR, all opinions are my own.

This was a really fun rom-com about an aspiring investigative journalist and a former Navy Seal turned matchmaker.  Allie is a food critic for a local newspaper, but her dream is to be an investigative journalist.  She hasn't hit her big break yet, but while writing her latest food column she spots an interesting situation that might just make for a great pitch to her editor.  Enter Thatcher, a retired Navy Seal who has started a covert matchmaking company to raise his son after tragedy struck his family.  Two of his special forces buddies help him run his company, and they also help him on a secret non-matchmaking mission on the side.  

Allie hires Thatcher to find her soul mate, and she plans to write the best piece of journalism she can about dating and matchmaking she possibly can without breaking her NDA.  The only problem in she and Thatcher seem to have more chemistry than any of the dates he sets her up on.  As Allie and Thatcher get to know each other better, she uncovers his side mission and that his special forces days aren't quite over.  While she is writing a piece on his matchmaking, she may be onto something much bigger and much more dangerous. 

You do have to suspend your disbelief a few times for the zany things Allie does and some of the situations our couple are put into at the end.  They get into some unrealistic situations, which make give the book plenty of humorous moments, which makes this an entertaining read. This has a big of a romantic suspense element on top of the humor.  

The epilogue with Maple the rescue dog was heart wrenching and beautiful.  That chapter alone gets 5 stars!  Biscuit was such a huge part of the book, but he really stole my heart during this scene.
