Review of Come Undone: A Love Triangle by Crystall Kaswell
Alyssa's just received a proposal from her best friend, the man she loves. But, is she in love with him? Does he truly make her happy? Is he truly good for her? Or is she just holding on to what he was once for her, to her? That same night of the proposal, he rushes her out of the restaurant to his law firm - yet another emergency. He can't even spend the time to celebrate their engagement. But that's OK because he's not the romantic type, right? And then she meets his partner, Luke. Hot, tatted up Luke, to whom she's immediately attracted. And you can probably see the writing on the wall just from that sentence. I could, but it didn't stop me from being entertained by Come Undone.
I have to say that Come Undone is a departure from Crystal Kaswell's usual writing. It's still excellent, angsty, and sexy, but Luke isn't really her usual type of hero and Alyssa definitely is not her usual heroine. Alyssa is really the main reason why I couldn't give this 5 stars. She drove me bonkers with her wishy washy attitude, stringing Luke along. The cheating part didn't really bother me, as it was kind of a Ross & Rachel situation and her fiancé was a complete and total douchebag who deserved everything bad that came his way. Not that cheating is OK, though I get where Alyssa was coming from in that situation. BUT, she should have just left him completely before she ever started anything with Luke. Then she wouldn't have been stringing Luke along and her fiancé wouldn't have had any reason to come down on her about anything. Anyway...as much as Alyssa irritated me, I loved the rest of this story, especially Luke. What can I say? Tall, tatted up men with hearts of gold are my jam!
