Love's Funny That Way is a contemporary romance that seems to make the FMC schizophrenic (with contradictory personality traits).
Raven Muldoon is a hypnotherapist by day and aspiring stand-up comic at night. Her three friends together formed a wedding ring pact way back when... They promised to get each other married if they aren't married by age 30. Raven was first in line, so they set Raven up with a good guy, Brent Radley. And Brent's nice, but seems to hold a bit of a double-standard when it comes to dating (he can fool around as long as he keeps it discreet, but she had to be exclusive). Things get worse when Raven found out that she connects far better with Brent's brother, Hunter, who's also the owner of the local comedy club. While Hunter's no saint, Hunter would NEVER try to get between his brother and "his" girl. But is Brent really that committed to Raven? And which way will Raven go if she had to choose?
I have a hard time accepting Raven's personality. A standup comic pretty much had to have a ton of guts, knowing anything he says can bomb and he can get booed off the stage at any moment. So why would Raven failed to find ANY guy and rely on her friends setting her up, and continue to date that loser when she knew she wanted someone else? This pseudo-triangle just doesn't work for me. But the angst about hiding and the threatened exposure was good. All in all, average.
