Stars: ⭐⭐

I was excited to pick up ‘Unmasking Love’ by Erin Marie Bassett.  This book sounded like there was a lot of heart and character development throughout the story.  At first I was really enjoying the story and learning about Harper and Aiden.  But then once I stopped enjoying it I found other things that were not enjoyable and just ended up skipping over.

At the start of ‘Unmasking Love’ you really get to know the background to Aiden and Harper.  This is actually really great information to have as the past has really affected both of them in how they manage and deal with life and situations they are put in.  But Harper doesn’t seem to learn or move on so well from her issues and they happen over and over again. Towards halfway and three quarters of the way through the book I felt like I was just on a hamster wheel and reading the same thing over.

The other thing I felt was a bit too much was the spice scenes.  I am all for spice in a book but I like it when the spice is meant to help improve the story and move it along.  I felt like these were not in there to do that and there were a lot of them. I felt like well over half the book was just spice and when I got over half way through the book I actually just ended up passing over the scenes because I was like oh great here we go again.

As much as I wanted to like ‘Unmasking Love’ it just ended up being an okay book for me.  The book is getting 2 stars and on the Spice Level it’s a Burning Heart since over half of the book had spice scenes.

Now remember what I thought of the book might not be the same as what you all would think when reading the book.  I am here to just say what I thought.
