#BookReview: Minnie Maple (An Enemies to Lovers Romantic Comedy) by Mandi May






Synopsis: I, Mary Beth Caroline Abernathy, have a secret.

On the surface, I’m Daisy Bluff, Indiana’s virgin kindergarten teacher. I always visit Nana in the nursing home, go to church every Sunday, and am a Hallmark movie superfan. I am everything you’d expect when someone says “preacher’s daughter.”

Except…

After a drunken night involving purse vodka, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, stock photos of Fabio, and manuscripts I’ve been secretly perfecting for years, I transform into Minnie Maple, a best-selling steamy regency romance author.

Meanwhile…

Drew Coyne is Hollywood’s Hallmark darling. The perfect mix of boy next-door, small-town weatherman, and prodigal son returning home to run the family Christmas tree farm. He’s also the unknowing star in all my books and fantasies.
When my biggest secret goes viral, Drew seeks out Minnie Maple in a last-ditch effort to kickstart his stagnant acting career.

I know, right?!?!?

But when we meet, things don’t exactly go according to plan. Drew isn’t like his movies at all. He’s conceited and rude and has an expansive earring lost and found for the many women he’s slept with. I could never give my book (or my heart, or my virginity) to someone like that.

Unfortunately, Drew doesn’t give up easily. When he shows up in my ridiculously small town claiming to be my new boyfriend, I have to either play along or reveal my secret identity as Minnie Maple to the world.
They say to never meet your heroes. Ugh, that definitely includes celebrity crushes too.

Minnie Maple is a dual POV enemies to lovers, faking dating, opposites attract, good girl bad boy, small town meets big city, rags to riches, celebrity boyfriend mashup that will leave readers rolling on the floor in all the best ways.

My Review: I wish they would have just kept this in Minnie's POV because Drew was not fun to read at all.  Sadly as much as I love enemies to lovers this one went into the DNF pile.  I was hopeful for this story since Enemies to Lovers is my jam. But lord was this a mess. 











Mandi was sick of having either sweet butterflies or a steamy romp, so she started writing romance novels that bring you both. Mandi promises to bring the sweet, the heat, and the laughs to your next rom-com read. 

Mandi May is the pen name of an Amazon Best Selling Author. She has always loved to write, but her journey really began five years ago when her husband convinced her to take a chance on her dream. Since then, she’s published a popular YA Dystopian Series, and is now excited to dive headfirst into the world of romance. 

When she’s not writing, Mandi enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, eating all the things, girls’ nights, and consuming any and all Bridgerton content.
