Cancun Rom Com Just ... Ridiculous
8:22 AM
(Image from Amazon)

Enter Flynn Dawson, Marco's identical twin. Flynn's determined to help Marco glue his marriage back together. And he's not about to let Belle stand in the estranged couple's way. 'Course, Belle has no idea Marco even has a twin brother ... Cue chaos, confusion, and canoodling on a Cancun beach that's getting hotter by the second.


(Readalikes: The book has been promoted as Sabrina meets While You Were Sleeping, which I guess I can kinda sorta see ...)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: I received an e-copy of How I Met Your Brother from the Whitney Awards Committee for judging purposes. Thank you!

I hate to hear this! I love Rallison's books. Sad that this one just doesn't work. I'll take your word for it. I need more substance to a book and this one sounds a little too light.
ReplyDeleteHer books are very hit and miss for me. There are several that I love, but there have been a few that just really didn't do it for me. This one included, natch.
DeleteSee, we have pretty different tastes, I'm learning as I read your reviews of books I've read. I loved Serpent King, for instance. And I have to speak up and say I thought How I Met Your Brother was a spot-on romantic comedy. I had been binge reading romances and this one felt like a breath of fresh air to me--it was a farce, yes, and therefore implausible, but that's inherent in the genre. I thought it had some depth as she met his family and came to terms with the truth about her college self. I totally voted for it to win that Whitney category--for me it was far and away the strongest. Jenny, I say go for it! Still appreciate your reviews, just wanted to respectfully disagree :-).
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome to disagree any time! Different strokes for different folks and all that :)
DeleteI'm a very picky reader, so not everything resounds with me. I have a low tolerance for romance in the first place and this one just got beyond ridiculous for me. I'm glad you liked it, though. It is funny that we have such different opinions on it -- it was my last place pick for its category :(
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Feel free to leave more :) I love discussing what I've read with other people, ESPECIALLY when we have differing opinions!
