November 2016 Prime Borrow. 
 DNF @22%= automatic 3 Stars. 
 As a huge fan of the first two books in this series, who waited patiently for this installment, I was disappointed. Perhaps it's my mood, as I've struggled to connect with the past handful of books I've attempted to read, of varying genres- some I completed, some I had to DNF. 
 What was my reason with The Boyfriend Makeover? 
 It just felt forced to me. I give all books at least 20% before I throw in the towel. If a book hasn't hooked me even a little bit by then, then I decide to move along as it's not fair to the author for me to post a venting review to relieve the frustration I felt while reading. 
 With this book being contemporary romance, obviously we know the two romantic interests WILL couple up by the ending. If the reader is hooked, they want to take the journey with the characters. For me, this time around, knowing they were going to hook up into an HEA, with how much I struggled to connect to the characters and wade through a very slow start, I decided the journey didn't matter. Hence the reason I DNFed the book. 
 I devoured the previous installments. But perhaps I've changed as a reader, changed with what I enjoy, during the wait for this book. This formulaic type of read no longer does it for me- I need more. 
 My 'felt forced' comment. When one of the love interests comes on too strong, is in automatic lust/infatuation, where all of their inner monologue is expressing how 'hot' the other character is, I lose interest. This is romance, we readers know they find the other attractive. I want to know what's beneath the surface, not be told over and over how 'hot' they are. Who are the characters, what do they do- that's what I want to know. 
 I couldn't connect to Noah, which has been a curse for me for several books in a row. One or more of the narrators rubbed me the wrong way. Noah came off to vapid, desperate instead of confident. 
 Maybe if I had reread books 1&2 prior to this one, I would have felt more connected to the characters. After 500+ books between, I actually forgot who was who and how they all connected, leaving this to feel like a standalone, starting off at square-one from the very first page. In the absense of the emotional connection, with the very slow start, with Noah acting/thinking desperate, I decided to DNF because I wasn't invested at all. 
 If there is another installment in this series, I'll download the sample first
