Review: The Love Rematch

The Love Rematch The Love Rematch by Kay Marie
RATING: 1.5 STARS

____________________________

“The Love Rematch” is a bachelorette reality show inspired second chance romance that left me wanting more. Literally.

Of course with reality shows running rampant in the last few years, I was immediately intrigued by the premise and of course off-set romance between the once upon a time lovers but it was difficult to connect with Emily or Jake. Maybe it was just me but I found them to be terribly boring. The side-characters, moreso—the producers, contestants and my girl Sam were far more entertaining.

What’s more—I wasn’t a fan of how the author would weave in details of the past/previous memories in the middle of present tense dialogue. There were a few instances that I had to reread the passage to verify what tense I was in and where the heck I was at. It didn’t flow naturally nor was it consistent. It threw off the pacing and I had difficulty immersing myself into the read because of that.

All in all—predictable storyline, dull characters, odd and confusing pacing, and lack of wow factor to really lock me in.
