The Right Move by Liz Tomforde
The Right Move is another easy and enjoyable read from Liz Tomforde, continuing the feel-good romantic vibes from her previous work. Tomforde’s writing remains engaging, and she clearly understands what her readers want to see from a male love interest. However, while her storytelling style shines, this installment felt a bit lacking compared to the first book in the series.
Ryan Shay, the male protagonist, is almost too perfect, to the point where his character becomes a little hard to connect with. The book leans heavily into the idealization of the male love interest, which, while appealing at first, eventually made the story feel a bit too cheesy for my liking. His flawlessness leaves little room for tension or growth in the relationship, which is what makes romance novels truly captivating.
I also found myself less drawn to the couple in The Right Move than I was to the pair from the first book. There was a certain spark or depth that was missing in their dynamic, making it harder to fully invest in their love story.
That being said, it’s still a pleasant read for fans of the genre, and Tomforde’s knack for creating a feel-good romance is undeniable.
