Disappointed Part 2 (I don't think I can keep going)


     


So I just finished book three in this series and I don't think I can read any more. (See previous post for the first two books). 


    IDKY I thought this book was going to be better. It was so disappointing. FMC meets MC when his baseball team comes for a team building event. She has a fling with him and ends up pregnant. It was pushed so much at the beginning of the book that she loved photography so much but it wasn't talked about as much as I thought. She wins a magazine contest and gets a 4 week trip to go explore tourist spots and blog about them. One sentence she was showing up at her hotel and the next sentence the trip was already over. She goes home and decides she's going to move to where the MC lives and they can raise the baby together. MC talks down about her family and has really crappy thoughts about them. 


    Insight into the family: The FMC has always jumped from one hobby to the next so her family doesn't really take her seriously because every time she gets into something, she changes her mind and doesn't stick with it. She took up cosmetology in HS and ended up becoming a hair dresser. Her parents paid for her brother to go to business school because he was going to be taking over the ranch and business from them, but they didn't pay for her because she already had a career. She holds big resentments towards them and skips family dinners and events because she doesn't really like her family. She didn't want anything to do with the ranch in the first place (I use the term "ranch" very loosely, it's land with a few cabins on it that the brother refurbishes and rents out to vacationers) and she's always pushed her parents to just sell everything. 

    So anyways, she gets back from this trip and moves out to live where the MC lives (though they never discuss being together, just co-parenting). She gets another offer from the magazine to do another trip and the MC and FMC get into an argument about it because, although he has hardcore pushed her to do her thing and follow her dreams, he doesn't want her to go without him and he's a sports player who is in-season so he can't go with her. She tells him that she's going anyways and they can take a break. She's gone for TWO DAYS and he tells his coaches that he needs to take a sick day so he can fly to where she is and tell her he's in love with her (the irony when I say this comes out of left field is hysterical). He shows up, they decide they're in love, and then all of a sudden, her trip is over and she's back at home. Then they jump to him being off season and them going back to where he met up with her and deciding that they're going to get married the next day because it's where they told each other they love one another. The idea is cute in theory but horribly executed. Then the book ends. No wedding, no baby, no details, it just ends. 


    The timeline, again, is super jumpy like the previous two books, and the continuity is just not there for me. I was going to read the next three books in the series but honestly, life is too short to waste times on books that I'm not enjoying. I'll find something else to read because I just can't do it anymore. Maybe I'll rad the others when I'm bored or in between books, but for now I'm going to stop and find something better.
