Cutie and the Beast by M.E. Carter (Cipher Office #3)

💪💪💪💪💪

Cutie and the Beast is the perfect blended family RomCom! This new addition to the Cipher Office series is charming, funny and romantic.

Two single parents, both trying to raise their eight year old daughters as best they can on their own. When they decide to live together to help with expenses, things start to work out in ways they didn't plan, but of course there's always an ex or daughter that doesn't approve...

The fact that Elliott is closer to my own age, had me putting myself in her shoes. Abel on the other hand, you can tell he's a "hot dad" from the story, but I love that he doesn't use it to his advantage. His sole focus is providing for his daughter, even if I did want to ring her neck a few times, lol.

I enjoyed this story so much. If you enjoy a good romantic comedy with hilarious family moments, this is the perfect read for you! I can definitely see myself picking this book back up anytime I need a feel-good escape from reality.

😄 Comedy
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Living with her mother seemed like a good idea at the time. But Elliot Donovan's living arrangements are not working for her anymore. Desperate to get back on her financial feet after a divorce and out from under her mother's thumb, Elliot takes a job in the child care center at Weight Expectations, a local gym.

It has everything she needs -- family friendly hours, more pay than she expected, and a super cute trainer who just happens to have part of his house for rent.

Abel DiSoto was living the good life until his wife walked out taking half of the family income with her. The blow to his ego was bad enough, but after a fire at the gym scattered Abel's clients, and consequently his commissions, he's stuck figuring out how to make ends meet, too. Renting out the master suite of his house to his new co-worker seems like an easy solution. They're both mature adults, they both have eight-year-old daughters, and their work schedules coordinate so they can lend each other a helping hand to ease the burden of single parenthood.

The only downside? Living like a blended family when you're not actually a family can present some challenges.

Welcome back to Weight Expectations, where the unexpected is likely to happen.
