Ruining one romance trope at a time 😈 

Thank you, Forever Publishing,  for the gifted e-copy of Unromance {partner} 

 

 

I loved the premise for this - a jaded actor who enlists a romance writer to ruin romance tropes one at a time. Why? Because he's hoping it'll keep him from finding the romance in all the "little" moments of a new relationship. 

 

The book's first third was so much - I enjoyed the character's banter and especially loved Mason. There was just something about him that gave me major romance vibes. However, Sawyer was a bit grating on my nerves. Something about her irked me from the beginning, and as the book wore on, I started to resent the way she acted and treated Mason. His character deserved a lot more than she was willing to bring to the relationship - which is not her fault; she was clear about her intentions from the start. 

 

My biggest issue with the story is that there is no character chemistry. The only thing Mason and Sawyer are interested in is having sex or thinking about sex. When your two main characters lack the sizzle that makes a romance steamy, it makes it hard to believe in them as characters or see anything appealing about their relationship. 

 

One thing I loved was the humor that was mixed into the story - I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions.

Now, take this with a grain of salt because this is just my opinion of the characters, but there are a lot of glowing reviews out there, so I recommend checking it out for yourself! I plan on reading whatever Erin Connor writes next  🥳
