Six Degrees of Separation is hosted by Kate at booksaremyfavoriteandbest. A book is selected each month as the starting point for us to link to six other books. I go a bit rouge by selecting my own book from the previous months’ Five Star Friday, but still maintain the spirit of the meme.
This Month's Book
Unromance by Erin Connor
Published by Forever on January 14, 2025
Age/Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Goodreads
A recently dumped TV heartthrob enlists a jaded romance novelist to ruin romance for him—one rom-com trope at a time—so he never gets swept off his feet again . . .
Sawyer Greene knows romance. She’s a bestselling author of the genre—or she was, until her ex left her with nothing but writer’s block and a broken heart. But when she gets stuck in the elevator with a handsome stranger, she sees their meet cute for what it is: just a one-night stand. It might have worked, too, if they could stop running into each other.
Actor Mason West sees Sawyer’s reappearance in his life as a sign. Obviously, they’re meant to cure each other. Him of the hopeless romanticism that only ends in heartbreak—and tabloid trainwrecks—and Sawyer of her writer’s block. Their agreement is simple: 1. No (more) sex, and 2. No matter how swoony the circumstances, absolutely no falling in love.
It’s a foolproof plan–until Sawyer and Mason find that, once set in motion, some plots can't be stopped—and that they might be hurtling towards a happy ending...

Let us know in the comments!
Their no-romance agreement seems like it's bound to be hilariously broken.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely add this to my towering TBR list. Thanks for the recommendation!
I adored Unromance and hope you get a chance to check it out.
DeleteI really loved The Good Part! I love a good time travel book, especially when there's a twist.
ReplyDeleteThat book sits as one of my favorite time-travel books even if it was somewhat stressful for me at the end.
DeleteHow fun. I like how you connect the books.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary. I have a lot of fun with this one every month.
DeleteFun to see all the connections! I enjoyed Loch & Key and Beach Read!
ReplyDeleteBoth great books!
DeleteGood job! I've heard good things about Unromance.
ReplyDeleteI knew nothing about the author or the book, so I went in with zero expectations, but I was thrilled by this book. I had an incredible time reading it.
DeleteI'm impressed by your knack for remembering books you've read only once a long time ago (especially since you read so many every year)...not to mention, connecting them!
ReplyDeleteActually, it impresses me as well given that I have to look up the main characters' names when I am writing reviews, but there are some details that stay with me for some odd reason. I do scan my shelves to shake some of that info loose, but it's fun to do.
DeleteYou did great once again! And I loved Beach Read!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great book. Really emotional towards the end there. I was crying when she was reading those letter.
DeleteGreat chain, Sam. Many of these are on my TBR. I have read Beach Read, but that's the only one.
ReplyDeleteAll those books were fantastic for me. I hope you get a chance to check them out.
