5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
“You got married on your divorce-cation?”
That would unfortunately be correct.
I was hanging with the girls, celebrating my divorce when I saw him, my crush, sitting in the corner of the bar all alone. Being single and looking for a wild night, I asked him if he wanted to join me. To my delight, he said yes.
Drinks were consumed, fun was had and then . . . one drunken conversation with a cranky gondolier in Las Vegas led to an Uber lift through a drive-thru wedding chapel with the incredibly hot, British bad boy, Pike Greyson.
On paper, it seemed like I hit the jackpot. And if I wasn’t fresh from a toxic marriage, I would have absolutely noticed the finer things about him.
But I wanted nothing to do with being married, so when I arrived back home from my eventful weekend in Vegas, the last thing I expected to see was a new doting husband already moved in.
I asked for an annulment, he pulled a Ross Geller and said no.
That’s right, he said NO! Instead, he asked for three months to prove we could be good together.
Insanity clearly knocked him in the head and the only way I could convince him to give up on our sham of a marriage was to show him just how wrong we were for each other. Only problem with that was, he saw right through my every prank, every trick, and every yearning emotion I attempted to mask.

REVIEW:
Put Me In Detention was a fun blend of drunk-in-Vegas, teacher romance with a splash of surprise wedding, and it came together fabulously in one of Meghan Quinn’s heartfelt and hilarious romantic comedies. Pike, a motorcycle-riding British teacher, works with Cora’s brother, Arlo. Cora is in Vegas commemorating her divorce with a girls trip. She’s looking to get her groove back on with some harmless, one-night-only fun when she runs into Pike, her not-so-secret crush. Together they paint Vegas red, and in a complete surprise to them both, wake up the next morning married.
Cora and Pike had natural chemistry, but having just come out of a long, drawn-out and nasty divorce, Cora is not at all pleased that she somehow wound up married again, even if it’s to the seriously hot guy she’s been crushing on. I enjoyed the utter ridiculousness of the situation Cora had gotten herself into, and her attempts to drive Pike off were hilarious. Pike had his own reasons for wanting to give this marriage a chance, and as she was trying to push him away, he was patiently trying to pull her closer. The only problem was that as Pike was developing real feelings that he genuinely wanted to explore with Cora, he was also concealing a secret that could upend everything. On the surface, Put Me In Detention was a funny romcom, but as is always the way with Meghan’s storytelling, she masterfully hides the emotion waiting for the exact right moment to spring it on her readers. Quinn doesn’t hold back when doling out those emotions, and beneath all the layers of humor and heat, she’s buried some serious feels. The reason I find her work so dang addictive is precisely because of the way she blends her humor and heat with heart-rending emotion.
Put Me In Detention was a slow-burning love story brimming with heart-tugging emotion. Readers get a full dose of the beloved side characters from the other books in this interconnected series of standalones, especially the curious Keiko. Full of charm, comedy, passion and heart, Quinn crafted another unputdownable story. I swooned, blushed and laughed my way through this book loving every single second of it. Five smooches from me for Put Me In Detention by Meghan Quinn!
