The Love Hypothesis
by Ali Hazelwood
What is it about:
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.
What did Voodoo Bride think of it:
I pre-ordered this book and still had to wait for over a month after release before it was sent to me. At one point I feared I'd never get it. So when it finally arrived it had all of that against it: it better be really good to make up for all the trouble.
Luckily this book was all I had hoped for. I love fake dating romances so the plot of this book was right up my alley. I was hooked from the start and finished it in a day. What a delightful read.
There are of course things you as the reader know and which should be obvious to Olive as well, but I didn't mind her being a dense idiot. I had too much fun with this romance. I loved Adam and rooted for Olive to see the light.
The romance is fluffy and delightful. There are of course some obstacles, but those didn't frustrate me and were handled in a believable way.
All in all a wonderful read. I will most definitely get the next book by Hazelwood once it releases.
Why should you read it:
It's a delightful and very enjoyable Contemporary Romance
