Something Borrowed by Louisa George

Rating: WARTY!

"Wedding planner." That character's never before appeared in a so-called romance novel - except like a thousand times. Yawn. "Chloe’s business unravels after her own fiancĂ© ditches her at the altar." Good. She must have been lousy at it if that's all it took. The author is obviously conflating 'wedding planner' with 'matchmaker'. If so, that makes her a dumbass in my book and I have no desire to read anything she writes. "In order to save her career, Chloe needs the help of chef Vaughn" Why? Does she plan on giving everyone food poisoning so they forget that matchmaker...er, wedding planner Chloe got ditched? Of course the chef is the "frustratingly handsome" best man. Frustratingly handsome? That goes with "irritatingly" handsome and "annoyingly handsome." Never read those in a book description before. Ecxcept maybe a million times. Get an original idea for fuck's sake. Barf.
