(UN)Loved (Mixed Emotions Series) by Katy Hunter – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

(Un)Loved by Katy Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

(Un)loved is Book One of 2 in the Mixed Emotions Series. In it we are introduced to Gil, an actor, and Sophie, an actress. They have worked on many movies sets together and spent time off-set together as friends, but their relationship has always been platonic. When they discover they have a mutual attraction to one another they decide to take their relationship to the next level.

When Gil invites Sophie to go to France with him to meet his parents she is thrilled. However, when she gets to the French countryside, she quickly must learn how to go from city girl to country girl as she is thrown into helping on the family farm. Sophie finds herself introduced to a cranky llama, sexually liberated parents, and goats that put the run on her. As if that isn’t enough, she doesn’t know where she stands in her relationship with Gil. She’s madly in love with him but he’s afraid of commitment. Then along comes Gil’s drop dead gorgeous ex-girlfriend which complicates things even farther. Will Gil ever be able to show Sophie his true feelings?

I loved the author’s writing style and often found myself chuckling out loud at some of the things Sophie said. Despite being a city girl and an actress Sophie is not stuck up. She is down to earth, funny, and genuine. She truly loves those around her. Gil is a nice guy but who has been burned by bad relationships in the past. Throughout the book I found myself hoping that Sophie would be the girl with the key to unlock Gil’s heart.
