Being wrong for each other has never felt so right …
Toby Jenner may be tall, handsome, and own the world’s greatest collection of cardigans, but his track record with women is woeful. Even though he’s the tech genius behind the most successful matchmaking app of all time, it seems as though Doctor Love is able to predict everyone’s perfect partner except his own.
All that changes when a beautiful, intelligent, quirky-as-hell woman crashes into his life. Plagued by her own relationship woes, Joanna’s done with dating guys who aren’t right and pins her hopes on the Happy Ever After app turning her love life around.
Within hours of meeting her, Toby realizes he’s finally found the soul-deep connection he’s always craved. Even better, she seems to feel the same way.
There’s just one problem - according to his own state-of-the-art compatibility algorithm, they don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of working out.
Being a man of logic, Toby knows he should forget about her and move on. He knows he shouldn’t move into her plush Manhattan apartment so he can monitor the glitchy A. I. that runs/ruins her life. He knows he should be fine with her dating men whose compatibility scores aren’t in the single digits. And he should absolutely ignore how just being near her sets his entire world on fire.
Yes, Toby is very aware that falling for his perfectly imperfect match will lead to devastating heartbreak. But he also knows that if there’s even a one-percent chance of them making it, he’ll move heaven and earth to beat the odds.
A sizzling new standalone from the internationally bestselling author of Bad Romeo.
Joanna + Toby
WILL WE GET A HAPPILY EVER AFTER??
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
Yay!!! Finally book #3 in this adorable series.
If you're super weird with series like me - you should do a re-read of the first two books. This is a complete standalone ... BUT all the people from the other books are in here and the timeline overlaps a bit here and there. I would be pissed if I missed those first books!
Now to the story... I loved it!
DOCTOR LOVE was such an adorable and funny and slightly heartbreaking love story! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Toby - this one is MINE!
Their age bothered me a bit. They're both 25 years old and all through the book they felt more like 35 to me. Didn't hurt the story or the book, but maybe they could've been a bit older?
Yay yay yay! New words from Leisa Rayven!
I down more of my drink. For an eighteen-dollarish glass of
whiskey, it’s not bad.
When I glance at Eden, I see her eyes have glazed over. I
follow her gaze across the room to where her boyfriend is talking to one of the
test couples. As if he feels her staring, Max turns, and the expression he gets
makes me shake my head. Pretty sure I’ve never looked at a girl like that, but
I’d like to.
I wonder what it must be like to be that much in love. The
way they’re looking at each other … the chemistry is so thick, you can almost
see it shimmering in the air. It’s like there’s no one else in this entire
place but them. Whenever I witness the passion between Eden and Max, I wonder
if that sort of depth of emotion is reserved for a lucky few. Will everyone get
to feel something that powerful during their lifetimes? Or is it some kind of
cosmic lottery that most of us never get to win?
“Out of interest,” I say. “Did you and Max fill out your
compatibility questionnaires?”
Eden drags herself away from her man and leans one elbow on
the bar. “Of course. Max wanted to make sure your algorithm was working.”
“So, what did you score?”
She gives me a smug smile. “Ninety-two.”
I almost choke on my own saliva. “Are you fucking kidding
me?”
She looks confused. “No. Why?”
I stand up straighter. “Just haven’t seen a score that high
before. New record.” Up until now, the highest was eighty-six, and that was one
of my research couples who’d been together for thirty years. “Guess it must
feel good to know you chose right.”
She smiles wistfully into her wine. “I don't need a score to
tell me Max is my soul mate. When you know, you know.”
I roll my neck again to try and relieve the tension in my
shoulders. “So I hear.”
She touches my forearm, and I can feel the sympathy she’s
exuding. “Toby, you’re a six-foot-five, totally ripped, scruffily handsome
genius. I have zero doubt you’ll meet your perfect match someday soon.”
I shrug her off. “Doesn’t bother me.” I’m such a liar. I
want a soul mate just as much as the next person. I just doubt it’s something
I’m ever going to have.
Eden frowns for a second, before turning to me with an
excited expression. “Well smack my ass and call me stupid, why didn’t I think
of it before? I have a single friend who’d be great for you.”
Oh, Jesus, here we go. “Yeah, I don’t think so.”
“Just hear me out. She’s gorgeous, intelligent, quirky as
hell––”
“Eden, I’m the professional matchmaker here. How about we
leave potential dates to the expert instead of just hooking me up with some
random woman you know.”
“She’s not random. She’s Asha’s best friend.”
I cringe. “Are you talking about that Joanna chick you
mentioned ages ago? The one who first told you about Mister Romance? Didn’t you
say she was a compulsive liar?”
“That was before I got to know her. She’s actually
remarkably cool.”
“I’m sure. Still not interested. Plus, I’ve already made it
clear that until this app is out in the big, bad world, I have zero time to
scratch myself, let alone date.”
She nods like she understands, but knowing Eden, this
subject is not being dropped any time soon. “Okay. Sure. I hear you. But just
know that one day, you’ll meet someone amazing and forget all about how busy
you are. When your soul mate shows up, you can try to deny them, or ignore
them, but it won’t work. They’ll bully their way into your life whether you
want them to or not. Take it from someone who knows.”
I down the dregs of my whiskey and put the empty glass on
the bar. I love Eden like a sister, and I’m grateful that she looks out for me,
but I’m really not in the mood for this conversation tonight. She’s working on
the assumption that there’s someone out there for everyone, and the more I
study the numbers, the more certain I am that most of us are destined to
stagger from one bad relationship to the next, until we die, miserable and
alone.
“Well, thanks for the drink,” I say as I pat her shoulder.
“But I really need to get back to work.” Without waiting for permission, I sit
back down in front of my laptop and open it.
She rubs my back. “Okay, then, Doctor Love. Go matchmake
your little heart out. I have to head home to finish up a story, but I’ll see
you at work on Monday, okay?”
“Yep, see you then.”
