This was the first time I am ever read a book by this author and I have to say that I was surprise. I had not idea that this book was going to be this good. I will have to get some more.

Great book and a good addition to the JT series. Funny, romantic, strong male lead without being over the top, many likable characters sprinkled throughout the storyline.

Melt for You by J.T. Geissenger is an awesome story. I loved how the author wrote the characters and had it be a slow burn romance. The humor was an added bonus. The imagery in the book is fantastic and I could envision so many details. Net Galley thank you for a ebook copy, I loved it so much I had purchased the audiobook . The audio is absolutely fantastic!!! I have the entire series in audio.

I ended up DNF-ing this one as much as I liked the sound of the hero our MC just got me down with her negativity about herself. I understand lacking confidence and having issues with yourself but it really frustrated me how negative she was and that was just within the first couple of chapters.

This was an enjoyable story that I could not get enough off reading, Once I started reading this story I could not put it down. The characters I absolutely loved reading within the story.

I enjoyed this book this is the third book that I have read from this author I was hooked and couldn't put my kindle down while reading this book

DNF at 15%

I've tried so hard to read this throughout last year but it just wasn't working for me, so since it's already January on a brand new year, I'm officially giving up.

This is a case of it's not you it's me.

I love the premise of dorky wallflower heroine & sexy athletic neighbor. The snarkfest is off the chain. I adore how hes Mr. Grumpy but actually was into her the whole time. Very entertaining read!

This is book two in the Slow Burn series and although it took me a little while to get into the story, I persevered and I’m so so glad I did. In fact I ended up really liking this story. Yes it was a very slow slow burn romance but it was extremely funny in places and I loved the characters. It was a sweet and enjoyable read.

This book was sooo good! Joellen and Cameron make such a good couple, just loved them together. Just thinking about it makes me ready for a reread! I loved that it put me through the ringer emotion wise, it was also really funny! I highly recommend if your looking for a great read!!

Melt For You by JT Geissinger was definitely an interesting read.

After reading, I am slightly unsure of where to start this review. I did enjoy the novel; however, I did not fall in love with it. I felt as though the characters had so much back and fourth, will they won't they action going on, that the relationship felt a little rushed and forced. In my opinion, some of the scenes tended to drag on for quite a while, and I found myself wanting to skip ahead a few pages to see what would happen next.

I did enjoy that J.T wrote a novel about unique characters. Joellen is certainly a different character from those I usually read about. She has this persona about her, that will allow you to become invested in her happiness. I was annoyed that she was so hung up on one guy, who she barely talked to, and then switched ships pretty quickly, but that's just my opinion.

3.5/5 Stars!

Good book with good characters and I will look forward to reading more from this author thank you for my arc

This trope has been done before, the ugly duckling looking for happily ever after and always missing the mark.

In most of these books, it takes a big, strong man to make the heroine see the beauty she really is.

What was different about Melt for You is the heroine, Joellen, was all of us women -- even the most beautiful women have flaws they actively point out.

And what was different about the hero, Cameron, was how insulted he was on Joellen's behalf when she put herself down. And what positive life lessons he had to share!

Basically, "Melt for You" is a story about Joellen and her neighbor, Cameron, who is in New York on a home swap with his cousin from Scotland. Joellen has serious self-esteem issues and Cameron is a "mountain" of a man and a rugby superstar from across the pond.

Joellen has spent the last ten years in love with her boss. And when it appears he's finally taken notice of her, Joellen enlists Cameron's "expertise" in seduction and more. All Cameron wants is her Shepherd's pie ... and her attention.

This book is witty and charming and exactly what you look for in a contemporary romance.

J.T. Geissinger is officially one of my favorites now!

She's so good with building up the characters and their interactions. The whole book is written in heroine's POV and she's so charming. The way she narrates the story is hilarious. Now there are a ton of books that try to be funny and fail miserably. But, this book was so good.

The author is super talented at the spinning the story. You can clearly see how hard she has worked on their story, their characters and everything has been worth it. The story is such a charming rom com. A good book to read at the end of a tiring day.

I eagerly look forward to the next book in the series.

My sincere thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to review the book in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely hilarious! I loved Joellen and her quirky nature. She would say the first thing on her mind and didn’t let the imposing rugby player stop her. Their chemistry was something that would consume them both as she transforms herself. No longer feeling the once timid mouse she realizes all she needed was the self confidence that had been missing from her life. Cameron would become more than the annoying next door neighbor and she would finally embrace her new life.

I thought the first book was great but this one was even better and I loved every last page of it. This is a really funny read and it had me laughing all the way through. I absolutely loved the characters the banter between them was fantastic. I love a good enemy to lovers/Neighbours romance and this is one of the best I have read in a long time.

2.5 stars

I did a lot of flip flopping with this book. There were definitely some parts I enjoyed, but there were also a lot of parts where things just got too silly and I almost put the book down several times. Character development is a huge factor for me and all of the characters in this book were written as over the top stereotypes.....the girl with low self esteem who doesn't see herself the way everyone else does, the hunky jock who is more than a pretty face and is really smart and has a heart of gold, the beautiful but evil female boss who can't even remember her employee's names, the perfect Ken-doll romantic interest who turns out to be a sleeze, and the washed up Hollywood starlet still living in the shadow of her heyday.....they were all written as caricatures instead of real people and I found that more irksome than funny.

Let's start with Joellen. The daughter of a supermodel and sister of a beauty queen, she is the black sheep of her family and is constantly reminded by them that she is not as pretty as her mother and sister. Now, we really don't know if this is true or not because we are never given a good description of what she really looks like, but from Joellen's own POV, she is extremely overweight, frumpy, clumsy, and socially awkward. She has zero self confidence, which makes her a doormat for her boss and a failure in the romance department. From everyone else's perspective she is curvy, drop dead gorgeous, and adorably unaware of how wonderful she is.

::shrugs::

I'm not sure how someone who cracks the frame of a chair by sitting in it, constantly trips and spills stuff all over herself, and has a sloppy appearance could be considered anything but a hot mess, but this is fiction, so........

Let's move on to Cameron McGregor. He is the most famous rugby player on the planet and happens to be laying low in NYC from a major tabloid scandal that took place in his native Scotland. He moves into the apartment across from Joellen's and almost immediately she hates him because he is a loud, arrogant, man-whore. After quite a few days of arguing and slinging insults at each other, they come to an agreement that Cameron will help Joellen get the attention of the CEO of her company (whom she has been secretly in love with for ten years), and in exchange she will cook dinner for him every night.

Their banter was fun and this is really what kept the story going. It is clear to everyone but Joellen that Cameron is interested in her as more than a friend or neighbor, but she is too busy trying to get her secret crush to notice her and this creates a problem when Cameron no longer wants to help her get the other guy because he can't deny that he wants her for himself.

Like I mentioned, this story teetered just on the brink for me. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments, but there was also a lot that felt really immature and just ridiculous. For someone looking for a light read without a lot of depth, this will definitely be entertaining, but I like my characters to be a little more realistic, so it missed the mark for me.

Melt for You by J.T. Geissinger is the second stand alone book in her Slow Burn Series and let me tell you it fits perfectly into the slow burn category! It’s a story of enemies to lovers that is full of laughs and just as emotional. Melt for You is a great story that I loved to read.

Do you know someone that is so annoying and insufferable but you just can’t help but love them? Well, that is how I felt about Cam. He is the most famous athlete in the planet, a famous rugby player that came to the US to escape a scandal. He traded apartments with his cousin. He wasn’t expecting to meet Joellen.

Joellen has been in love with her boss for 10 years! She has low self esteem and doesn’t really think highly of herself, until she met Cam. The whole story is told from her point of view and I totally understand how she felt about Cam. She wanted to kill him for being so annoying, but at the same time she wanted to laugh. Honestly, I feel like that about my husband sometimes too. They strike up a deal: cooked meals in exchange for lessons in seduction (so that Joellen can put the moves on her boss).

Of course, things do not go like they plan. Like many dreams, once Joellen has hers she realizes it might not be what she actually wants. She was so naive and she couldn’t see what was right in front of her face due to her low self-esteem. This was so frustrating sometimes! I LOVED Cam and how patient and sweet he was with her. He was the only person in her life that actually made her feel good about herself. I just wish that I could have gotten a few chapters from his point of view.

Melt for You was a slow burn novel. The MCs ignored their chemistry until almost to the very end and it was maddening, but so so worth the wait! I thought the story was really funny, but also very emotional because Joellen is having to deal with body image issues. Cam was sweet, sexy, arrogant, and irritating, but I loved him! He was also perfect for Joellen and exactly what she needed.

Melt for you is the first novel I read from J.T. Geissinger, but I already downloaded another one to read. That is how much I liked this story. Romance lovers you need to get this book that will make you laugh and swoon!

3-3.5 stars

Ive heard nothing but great things about this book so I was excited to jump in. It was a quick read (read it one sitting) I really loved Cam!! He made this book for me and I also loved the banter between Cam and........ shit! Im already forgetting her name. When I try to think of it, only her nickname "Ducky" is coming to mind, and thats only cause her neighbour gave her the nickname and since the neighbour reminds me of Miss Patty from Gilmore Girls and I instantly adored her. So obviously im going with the flow and still cant remember her name cause I finished this book a few days ago and dont feel like exiting out of this review to go search for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ But im talking about the Heroine, in case you havent figured it out by now. Like I was trying to say earlier before the brain fog, I adored her banter with Cam but as a whole I did not like her. Like at all! I found her to be extremely annoying and contradicting. She's a wallflower with everyone else and is a sassy, fierce women with Cam, and she's been like that with him sincethe beginning!! It just does not make sense. The only time I enjoyed her was when she was sassy and fierce. Im not a huge fan of weak women and this character was so damn weak 90% of the time. With that being said her character didnt take away from me enjoying this story. I liked it but I could have loved it 😫😭

UPDATE: her name is Joellen 🤦🏻‍♀️

What’s not to love about a romance with a ugly duckling and a hot Scottish rugby player! Oh and he is sensitive and smart. Lots of burning desire and great banter between the two.
