When a fake relationship between scientists meets the
irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated
theories on love into chaos.
As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe
in lasting romantic relationships--but her best friend does, and that's what
got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on
her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy
Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting
biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees.
That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot
professor--and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when
Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her
fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's
career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding
support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs.
Suddenly
their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive
discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is
putting her own heart under the microscope.
Olive + Adam
He doesn't really mind though, because as it happens, he's in need of a fake girlfriend too!
Can Olive and Adam convince all of academia that they're fake-dating?
And how long with the fake part stay fake?
If I could get away with it, I would just say adorable, leave five stars and be done with it. That's all I want to say! 🤣
But this story deserves so many more words.
It was like this book was written just for me. I mean, I'm no university-genius-biology person, and I didn't understand anything when they talked about bio and smart people stuff (which they didn't do too much, don't worry!)
I've never been to Stanford, so I had to google some photos. I wanted to be able to picture Olive and Adam walking across campus. And I did. I could picture everything so perfectly. Ali makes you feel like you're right in the middle of things. It was like sitting on the couch with some popcorn and booze and watching the most comforting and heartwarming rom-com.
And the sexy moments?! As Blossom's Joey used to say: WHOA! I don't know if the sex scenes in my last few books were just super meh and fast-forward-worthy - but Olive and Adam ... they made the pages burn! It was hella erotic! Phew! 🔥😍
Run to your nearest amazon for your own Adam - he'll be sold out in no time!
