About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

A non spoiler review..... I adored this book and this couple, they were awkward yet refreshing. This was such a fun loving light read with all the little perks that happened along the way. There is no way you won’t fall in love with these two. Her quirkiness made this book. Cosy is such a different kind of character you won’t help but root for her. Read this book it’s one you won’t be able to put down and will keep you smiling from ear to ear.

4.5⭐ I was so excited to read more from the Shacking Up series and Making Up did not disappoint. As Griffin and Cosy's story was extremely realistic, a little angsty, fun and packed full of chemistry. Not to mention a great romance to boot. And I was completely hooked from start to finish and honestly I couldn't get enough of theses two characters and their charming, engaging, sweet, sexy, shenanigans. Which is why I would happily recommend it to all.

**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review** Oh how I love Helena Hunting books and the Shacking Up Series has been fantastic. Making Up is a great addition and one I enjoyed quite a bit. This book focuses on the third and final Mills brother, Griffin. Griffin is one of the heirs to Mills Hotels. He works mostly with the numbers and is often sent to check out hotels that the company could potentially buy to increase their footprint around the world. He's currently in Vegas to investigate the latest hotel in their cross-hairs. He's recently been burned by his former fiancee, so he's not looking for anything serious on the romance front. Cosy Felton is a college student who is working to finish her degree, but she also works at a sex toy shop to earn a living while she does so. She's young, only 22, and while she's wiser than her years, she still awkward at times and is still learning about life. She loves adventure and is one of those kinds of people that lives each day to the fullest. When Griffin encounters Cosy when he has to go buy items for his buddy's bachelor party, he's immediately taken by the pretty story clerk. He does something he never ever does and he goes back to the store weeks later to ask Cosy out. While neither is wanting something serious, they enjoy one another's company, their chemistry is palpable and they just click. Will their age difference and the difference in their backgrounds end up and cause problems in the end? Or will they be able to overcome all the obstacles in their way and prevail? I enjoyed these two characters and how this story unfolded. They may be from very different worlds, but they just seem to click. The things they had to overcome were real-life issues that I thought were tackled very well. I was surprised a couple of times by the way the story went, but I trusted Helena and in the end, it all worked out as it should. I definitely would recommend adding this to your summer TBR!
