Something Like Love by Christina C. Jones

Sigh...I gave this book 3 stars on Goodreads out of generosity but it’s kind of a two-star book for me 😓. There were many times when I thought about DNFing it and then I would hit a stride and things would be interesting. Sometimes the (side) characters would say things that were kind of corny and I’d role my eyes and corny stuff has never really bothered me in a romance but maybe bc this is the 6 book in the series so I’ve seen it all already. I do like that both of the MCs are bisexual and Christina C Jones goes a little into the bias associated with that, but she should’ve leaned it those issues more. The MCs didn’t really have any challenges to work through in this novel. Astrid's story was dominated by her sister’s problems. Her sister’s problems became Astrid’s problems and that kind of annoyed me. I don’t really like when authors don’t completely focus on the MCs and developing their characters and their romance. Astrid’s sister had more romance development (granted it was narrated to us in dialogue) than Astrid and Eddie did. Astrid and Eddie didn’t really have any individual challenges they had to overcome. They also needed more moments together where they just dated and enjoy each others' company. Also the ending was so anticlimactic and it felt incomplete and unsatisfying. They just said "I like you and let’s be exclusive", the end. Like what kind of ending is that? This hurts me to do this bc I like Christina C Jones’ novels but this one is definitely my last favorite in this series. I think the issue is that after six books in the series, each book starts to be the same, and the couples stop being distinct. Carter and Vivienne are still my favorites though. This book was just not it.

On a different note Christina C Jones is a self-published author so show some support if you can! She has really great romance novels! Her novels are free on Kindle Unlimited.
