Unromance

De: Erin Connor

Narrado por: Mia Hutchinson Shaw, Lee Osorio

Beach Read fans will love this steamy romcom where a recently dumped TV heartthrob enlists a jaded romance novelist to throw him off romance for good. . . “a romcom lover’s dream of a book” (Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake It in Hollywood).
​
Sawyer Greene knows romance. She’s a bestselling author of the genre—or she was, until her ex left her with nothing but writer’s block and a broken heart. When she gets stuck in the elevator with a handsome stranger, she sees their meet cute for what it is: just a one-night stand . . . but then they keep running into each other.

Actor Mason West sees this as a sign. They’re meant to help each other—Sawyer with her writer’s block, and Mason with his tabloid trainwrecks. So they strike up a simple deal to keep each other on track: no more sex, and absolutely no falling in love—under any circumstances.

It’s a foolproof plan–until Sawyer and Mason realize some plots can’t be stopped—and that they might be hurtling towards a happy ending…

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Erin's writing is so fresh, so funny, and so skilled, that if you told me she was Nora Ephron reborn as a millennial, I would believe you. UNROMANCE makes familiar conventions feel brand new again in this lovingly self-aware send-up of the genre--even the most jaded readers will be inspired to dash through the airport and dramatically declare their love to this book. Fans of Ava Wilder won't want to miss this very fun, very steamy rom-com!"—Jen Comfort, author of What is Love?

Sooo Good!!

Bought this on a rec from audible and I LOVED IT! Such an amazing surprise. Story and narration amazing! Highly recommend!

Loved!!!!!

I’m going to listen to this again around Christmas time. Maybe every Christmas. I loved this story. Perfect for any and all rom com lovers.

Was okay

This story was okay, the two main characters are believable and have flaws and the situations are even relatable

Cute book

I feel that this is a cute romcom! I really enjoyed the way the characters were written. The character traits were sort of opposite of what you'd expect and that gave them more depth. I enjoyed the romance in the storyline and the plot. I think the story is well written and definitely worth the time to read it. I also purchased the audio version and enjoyed listening to the story! Overall, I feel this is a really good book!

A good escape

Wonderful and unique romance

Loved it

I had not heard of this author but found it by chance and LOVED the book. Female narrator was great. Spice was 2/5.

unique story line

Loved the story line and the humor through out. And of course loved the HEA.

It was ok.

It was ok. Not bad. Was it a waste of time? No. Was it the best book ever? No.

A delightfully self-aware romance novel

This one was an immediate pre-order for me. I couldn’t wait to dive into such a tongue-in-cheek, self-aware romance novel!
Sawyer Greene is a romance author battling debilitating writer’s block and a looming deadline, all while being deeply cynical about love. Enter Mason West, a famous actor who falls in love way too easily. Their story kicks off with the ultimate cliché “broken elevator” meet-cute, which quickly escalates into an uncharacteristic one-night stand. Weeks later, they cross paths again and make a pact: together, they’ll ruin every romance trope to break her writer’s block and his love of love.

Each chapter is dedicated to dismantling a classic romance trope, but instead of driving them apart, their experiments bring them closer. As they turn from strangers into best friends—and eventually fall deeply in love—they face a tough question: can they reconcile their distinct professional goals and make room for each other in their lives and can a couple make it out of IKEA without breaking up?

This book is hilarious, heartfelt, and brimming with banter. The clever nods to romance tropes through chapter titles and definitions had me laughing out loud—especially during the “Just Once” and “Miscommunication” chapters. I adored the Chicago setting (we need more romances set in this amazing city!) and loved the role reversal: he’s the one who falls too quickly, while she’s boxed her heart away. It perfectly set up one of my favorite tropes—he falls first.

Watching him communicate his needs so candidly was refreshing, and her emotional growth felt authentic. The side characters (friends and family) were absolutely fantastic—I’ll be so disappointed if they don’t show up in Connor’s future works!

🎧 About the Audiobook 🎧 The audiobook features dual narration by Mia Hutchinson Shaw and Lee Osorio. While Shaw’s performance was spot-on, I felt a slight disconnect with Osorio’s portrayal of Mason. The voice described in the text didn’t fully align with his narration, and I often preferred when Shaw was voicing him in the story.
