Real Kind of Love by Sara Rider

4.0

I really enjoyed reading Real Kind of Love. I had a storyline in mind when I read the synopsis, but though it did follow that storyline, but the story still had a lot of surprises for me. This book is one of the best fake boyfriend romances I have read. If it hadn't been for those two things (I would come to them later), I would have just given this book total 5 stars.

The first thing I loved about this book was Clem. I just loved her character, I connected to her really well and she was one of the main reasons I enjoyed this book so much. I also loved Jake's character, the handsome young man with a fear of relationships after his broken engagement. Though I liked his character a lot, I felt that sometimes his thoughts were just all over the place.

Another thing I loved about this book was Clem's family. I know they can get a little too much and I think they should definitely restrain themselves sometimes, but the warmth that oozed out from everything that they did for eachother was really heartwarming. Plus this family gave me really funny moments which was an added bonus which made me love this family even more.

One more thing I loved about this book was the way the author treated Jake's ex relationship, she didn't paint anyone right or wrong. Most books just try to do that, but not Real Kind of Love, which was really good.

Clem and Jake's love story had everything in it, some really heartwarming moments that just tugged at all my hear strings, some incredibly funny moment (all thanks to Clem's family and Clem and Jake's sex jokes) that had me laughing out loud and some really steamy scenes 😉.

I have only two complaints about this book. First one is Jake's thoughts, I have already talked about this before, his thoughts sometimes just felt all over the place. The second is the misunderstanding at the end, I just don't understand how that misunderstanding even happened. This misunderstanding was completely not needed.

Final words

Though there were things that kind of didn't work for me, but I still enjoyed reading this novel a lot and I would definitely recommend this novel to all romance readers out there.
