Another great book by Peyton Corinne. I remember reading unsteady and loving the raw emotion that the book portrayed, so I was excited to be able to read an ARC of Unloved! It did not disappoint. I felt my heart squeeze throughout the journeys of both Ro and Freddy. The perfect mix of sweet and spice.

I absolutely loved Unsteady so was really looking forward to this sequel. This book was so emotional. There was lots of trauma to heal from, so I loved that they started as friends and their relationship developed so wholesomely.

Matty is the most adoring golden retriever boyfriend, and I loved how gentle and kind Ro is.

I did feel like the back and forth between Ro and her ex boyfriend went on for too long. I wanted her to stand up for herself sooner and kick him to the curb. Slow burn to the max waiting for Matty and Ro to finally spit out how they felt about each other haha.

Overall, really enjoyed how much depth there was to this romance and all the growth we got to see from both characters.

thank you atria & netgalley for the early copy

oh wow 🥺
grief is such a… hard thing and it’s hard when you don’t know how to deal it with. and that’s why you need people around you to help you.
all these characters- the found family they have made are such so beautiful to see/read.
i love how we could see all characters being themselves and some stories being developing through their story.
i really loved matt and ro they are such a good soul and want to hug them forever 🥺

i read this while i am depressed and i thing it helped me to feel something… thank you

Just pure excellence. Freddy is just a man who is in desperate need of love. He's been taken advantage of by so many people and he just needs Ro. Ro is in a horrible relationship and doesn't know how to get out of it. It takes a while but it helps that she has Matt showing her what real love is. He has never been in a real relationship before and he has so many insecurities but Ro is amazing at helping calm them and being just what he needs. The fact that he took her to a bodice ripper book shop is crazy and I'm obsessed.

I received an arc through netgalley.

When I got approved for this ARC, I was so excited!!! I enjoyed Unsteady by Peyton so much that I dropped everything and started this immediately!💚

5⭐️’s for this sports romance lover!📖

Ro, seriously one of the sweetest and most selfless characters I’ve stumbled upon, is genuinely kind without expecting anything in return. She will be your go-to empath girl TRUST ME! Ro reminded me a bit of myself because I am empath and always wanting the best for others. Her thing for ribbons? I LOVED🎀.

Then there’s Matt, the first guy I’ve read who truly lets us see his vulnerability, and it’s refreshing. Matt’s grief hit home for me, especially with his mom reminding me of my dad and all the pride he’d have in my achievements. He’s just so nice, relatable, and honestly his butterfly tattoo 🤭. SWEET, KIND, AND HANDSOME IM ALL IN! His unwavering support for Ro throughout the entire book was heart-melting.

Their journey from being just friends to falling in love was beautifully done. It felt real and so healing to witness. The way Peyton wrote both characters with such depth and vulnerability added layers to their story was perfection.

I think 5 stars are not enough for me to express how much I love this book .
From the beginning this book was so captivating and I couldn't stop reading. I felt so many different emotions. I was so angry then sad,emotional, proud and happy. Peyton did such an amazing job with this book. I was feeling like I was part of their story and I experienced every emotion like I was there.
Ro is so strong and amazing. I love her so much. She made her way to my top 5 favourite fmc's ever.
Freddy made his way on my top 5 too obviously. He is the greenest flag ever . I love him so much 🥺.
Ro&Freddy are an amazing couple together. Their relationship is so pure and heartwarming. They went through so much and I wanted to give them a big hug and thell them that they are enough.
They made each other believe in themselves and feel confident.
The side characters like always are top tier . They made the book even better.
I'm so happy and grateful that I received an arc copy of this book. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an arc copy in exchange for an honest review.

apparently I’ve made it my month to read books that make me cry the whole time.

ohh peyton. I want to pick up these characters and just hug them. I can’t wait for the rest. I can’t event type more because I need to recover.

This book can be read as a standalone, but I think reading them in order will give you a better experience.

I really enjoyed the first book and same thing goes for the sequel. One of my favorite tropes is when someone needs a tutor and the love interest tutors them. It always adds a good amount of tension and I love a good hockey romance. Peyton once again knocked it out of the park! I loved Ro and Freddy.

This is why I love friends to lovers right here! It was the perfect slow burn love that keeps you sucked in. I ADORED Ro & Freddie.

The angst in their stories were so emotional and it made you really feel for what they went through. They were both mature and wholesome little cinnamon rolls. They're love never felt forced or rushed and the epilogue was perfection!

My only complaint is that it was a little long and a VERY slow burn. She was with her ex for too long in my opinion.

Thank you to NetGalley and Atria for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

I would recommend if you're looking for (SPOILERS)

-m/f contemporary romance
-sports romance
-friends to lovers
-reformed rake
-unrequited crush
-falling for my tutor
-new adult

this was messy in the best way. How anyone can end up in a toxic/abusive relationship, and being able to find love again. I loved watching these two find friendship and just trust with each other even as they tried to fight their feelings for each other. How badly they both needed each other. I really love this series. If you like angsty, new adult sports romance you have to check it out.

Thank you to netgalley and Atria books for this arc in exchange for an honest review.
This book is about Freddy and Ro, and it's told by both their POVs.
This is the second book in the Undone Series, and it also takes place during the same time as the first book Unsteady. Freddy is a hockey player who is struggling in school due to a learning disability, and Ro is his tutor who is patient and caring towards. Ro is also dating a guy who treats her extremely poorly, and Freddy helps her deal with him.
This book is a slow burn with an inexperienced fmc and play boy mmc. This is a true friends to lovers storyline. They were very good friends first. I loved how they overcame their struggles in this book, and their was lots of character development. I will say this book was a tad long for my taste, but overall, I think it's a great romance, and I think everyone should check it out.

Unloved is the second book in The Undone series. This book is about Matt "Freddy" Fedderic and Ro Shariff and is told from both of their points of view.

Freddy is a hockey player, but struggles at school. Ro ends up being his newest tutor, and will do anything to help him pass with all of his struggles. She's dating a guy and he doesn't treat her well at all, and her and Freddy start to have feelings for each other.

There were some secrets that both characters had, and some twists I didn't see coming, but I really enjoyed this book, and seeing how both of these characters grew.

Will they get their happy ending after all of their struggles? Or will other factors rip them apart for good?

📚 Unloved by Peyton Corrine
Genre: Sports romance
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Synopsis: Bookish and deeply romantic Ro starts tutoring the campus playboy, Freddy. Both are struggling with individual challenges and are deeply lonely, and find solace in each other.

My take: This book is absolute perfection. I loved every single minute of it and never wanted to put it down. What I love most about Peyton Corrine's books is that they are deeply emotional and include well-developed plots and character ARCs in addition to swoony romance and heat. I loved Ro and Freddy so, so much. Unloved happened on the same timeline as Unsteady so Sadie and Rhys are falling in love at the same time and you get to see them and get insights into their story. When I plan to reread them, I'll do it sequentially to get the full effect.

I cannot recommend this book enough, whether you like hockey or not. It's truly more about two lonely people starved for love and thinking they'll never find it meeting the exact person they need who accepts and loves them for exactly who they are.

this was SO cute!! i was hooked from the prologue and immediately knew I was going to love it. the slow burn and the tension were everything!!! i love matt and ro so much (ro is so relatable) and the way they helped each other deal with their issues. they had me giggling!! AND they were friends first. definitely one of the best romances I've read in a while!!! if you love angst, friends to lovers, and emotional depth, pick this book up!

this does take place during the same time as unsteady, the first book, so keep that in mind (i didn't know that and this was the first book i read by her). so i'll definitely be picking up the first book soon!

Peyton has easily become an auto buy author for me! So thankful to have received an ARC for this book after falling in love with Unsteady.

Unloved was such a great read! I love a good slow burn, friends to lover storyline, and this DELIVERED that and more. Unloved was beautifully written and I can't wait to see in what direction the rest of the series goes!

4.5/5

Unloved by Peyton Corinne checked every box I hoped it would. As side characters in Unsteady, Freddy and Ro were easy to fall in love with (wink wink) and I couldn't wait to see them as main characters and lean more into their stories. The connections between book 1 and book 2 were a challenge that was accepted beautifully and successful. It truly felt like I grew alongside these characters. Unloved? More like easy to love. Peyton nailed this.

I actually enjoyed this rom com. I’m used to reading longer books so I was a little shocked at how fast I read through this and wish I savored it a bit more. Loved the characters and Its continuation in the series from book 1. I felt some things were cringe and also way too obvious. I wish there was a tad more subtlety in the plot. Def recommend!
