Book Blitz + Giveaway - He's Come Undone by Theresa Weir




He’s Come Undone by Theresa Weir
Publication date: March 1st 2014
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Synopsis:

Penniless and behind on rent, college student and once famous child actress Ellie Barlow takes on the role of a lifetime when she’s hired by a group of young women to break the heart of the campus player who cruelly dumped them.

Transformed from slob slacker to jaw-dropping beauty, Ellie is dressed, styled, bleached and waxed, her chunky glasses exchanged for violet contacts. Along with physical prepping, she’s coached on Julian’s obsessions, which include long-distance running, Doctor Who, and J.D. Salinger.

In no time, Julian is in pursuit of his custom-made next victim, but when Ellie goes off script and begins to fall for her target, the newest broken heart in this risky game could be her own.

Review - Come As You Are by Theresa Weir


Blurb from Goodreads:
Molly Young has a secret. To keep it she holds the world at a distance. Behind her lies a trail of dumped boyfriends who came too close to discovering what no one can know. When her estranged father dies of an unexpected heart attack he leaves an even deeper secret, one tied to Molly's.

At the funeral repast Molly is unable to tolerate the shoulder-to-shoulder mourners and runs out the door and down the street to the nearest bar. Come dawn, with no memory of the past ten hours, she finds herself in bed with a beautiful stranger. She slips away before he wakes up, unaware of the role he's about to play in her life. Is he the one guy who can convince Molly to face her painful secret and become the person she's meant to be?
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Patchwork Press and Theresa Weir*
 3/5 stars
Molly Young's father has just died and unlike the mourners that have gathered at her house she isn't sad. Finding the people-packed house too much, Molly runs away and later finds herself in a bar talking to a guy. She then wakes up in a hotel bed with him and leaves without waking him. But that isn't the last time Molly sees Ian because she meets him again hours later in the last place she would have expected.
 I found Molly and Ian easy to connect to but didn't like how quickly they became romantically involved. I enjoyed the writing style and plot and didn't see the bombshell that dropped just before the end coming at all.
 Overall this was a short but enjoyable read.
