Learning to Love

1.5 Stars

Honestly, this book was a bit of a hot mess. This couple had ZERO chemistry. Aria started out as a likable heroine but then turned into some weird alcoholic. Plus, I didn't understand why she was marrying her ex when all she did was talk badly about him. How he mistreated her. How he has a small dick. She didn't seem to like the guy even BEFORE she found out he was cheating, so why exactly did she stay with him for SIX years? Roman was OK, but his character came off formal and stiff. Plus, without a POV from him, he felt very one dimensional, and he came across as an overbearing stalking psychopath.





On top of that, this book was all over the place storywise. Like Aria has an issue with Roman being wealthy, but her ex fiancee played for the Chicago Cubs and was wealthy. Inconsistencies like she says she barely ever had sex with David but then says “he was probably tired from having sex with two women on the regular”. She makes plans to meet a good friend for dinner, but no one wonders what happened to her when she doesn't show up? There were also times when they have the same conversation twice. Like Roman telling Aria his father is dead and a few chapters later they have the same conversation (his father being dead). Or the fact that all of a sudden she doesn't like flying, but she flew with no issues at the beginning of the book. Another thing, there are only seven seasons of Game Of Thrones, not ten...sigh. These are things that should have been caught by a decent BETA reader at the very least. Last, we find out near the end that the heroine is a dead ringer to the hero's dead ex. A plot point I hate with a passion. So yea, this book didn't work for me on any level.
