Solid 3.5 stars.
Unloved was a great book. It's on a parallel time frame with Unsteady. I appreciated that we weren't going word for word repeats of scenes but small glimpses of them. Based on my "future book" spidey senses, I think the third book will too?
Tyler was a piece of freaking work, but I understood his role in the book. What brought this book down for me in terms of star rating, was the lack of doing anything about the absolutely inappropriate professor/student relationship. Nothing was done. So Ro dropped the course and stopped working for her? That's it? Nope, I needed more of a conclusion and a firing for that.
Otherwise, the book was great. I loved how it set up future books, I'm excited to learn more about Bennett and Kane. I appreciated the sensitivity Matt had, feeling all of his emotions and showing them as well. His breakdown after seeing his father felt so real, I could feel his panic. So well executed. I hated how much Ro cried, but I know I hated it because I believe women shouldn't be allowed to be seen as weak, so that's a *me* problem. Crying does not equate to weakness.
Can't wait to read more from Corinne!
