Review for Freed (Unlovable #2) by Lynetta HalatThis review kills me. I mean GUTS me to write. I loved Used. It wasn’t a top-ten book but it was a top-twenty, which says a lot because I read several hundred books in a year. Freed… it’s what I would consider a mess of a follow up. Just a hot freaking mess.I’ve kept my review on hold because I frankly didn’t know nor want to give it my honest opinion. I don’t like writing reviews for books that didn’t live up to the expectation set by the first book. So, here it goes.Ransom and Denver. Denver and Greer. Denver and her negative self-speak. Greer and his whipped puppy attitude. Ransom and his baby-dom wanna be self. Ransom and his ex-girlfriend. Denver and Ransom’s mom. Ransom’s mom and (well, you’ll just need to read to find out about that one) Have whiplash yet? Well this is just a few of the “and thens” I could really go on and on. Then I would be tedious just like this book.If I’m being completely honest, the author should have written a brief novella about how awesome life is with Ransom and Denver, have them get it on and be done. Instead we got a ton of unneeded drama added with a little bit of decent storyline that actually went with the first book.*SPOILER ALERT*I know most of my reviews are spoiler free, but this one has to be said. Ransom, the man-whore, is a virgin. Uhm. uhh. ahem. say what?  You read that right. Mr. Bringsanewgirlhomeaftereveryparty is a VIRGIN. Who apparently enjoys getting girls off or watching them get off themselves then choking his chicken in the shower afterwards? I don’t know. Unbelievable and completely lost me.*SPOILERS OVER*And from there it went from all angst ridden to oh everything is perfect we are all BFFs again and love each other. Sit around the fire and sing Kumbaya and toast marshmallows.If there is another book in this series, I won’t be reading it. As for book one, I would suggest it, but stop there. Freed gets 2 stars for storyline and 2 damp panties for a whole lot of almost sex followed up by some slightly steamy loss of virginity sex.A Mommy’s a Book Whore Review.
