Beginner’s Guide: Love and Other Chemical Reactions

RECOMMENDED: Beginner’s Guide: Love and Other Chemical Reactions by Six de los Reyes is 99c at Amazon! Sarah enjoyed this nerdy romance and gave it a B:
Seriously, if you love science and experiments and science nerdery, you’ll probably really like this book. Much of the story is about Kaya’s journey from accepting herself to appreciating herself, and her growth from keeping a massive distance between her thoughts and her emotions to learning how to relate them to one another, and to take the risks involved in engaging with other people.
Falling in love is a chemical reaction.
Just ask Kaya Rubio, twenty-five year-old Molecular Genetics graduate student and research assistant. Fed up with her spinster aunts’ relentless reminders and unsolicited advice regarding her Single Since Birth status, she designs a scientific, evidence-based methodology to find her a suitable partner in time for her cousin’s wedding. As any good scientist knows, any valid experimental design requires a negative control. Enter the most unsuitable candidate for a potential boyfriend: the messy, easygoing, café owner Nero Sison. Her null hypothesis? Going out with Nero would establish her baseline data without catalyzing the chemical reaction she seeks.
But when Kaya’s recorded results refuse to make sense, she is forced to come to the conclusion that there are some things in life that are simply, by nature, irrational and illogical. And that sometimes, chemistry doesn’t always happen inside a lab.

RECOMMENDED: Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night by Kresley Cole is $3.99! This was my favorite Immortals After Dark book for an extremely long time. It has a enemies-to-lovers romance between a shifter and a witch. This is also the third full-length book in the IAD series. The previous books are on sale!
This seductive paranormal series continues with a brutal Highland werewolf and an exquisite young witch, adversaries with a blood vendetta between them.
Her breathless kiss haunts him…
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was nearly destroyed when he lost the one woman meant for him. The ruthless warrior grew even colder, never taking another to his bed—until a smoldering encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his darkest desires. When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all his strength and skill to keep her alive.
His slow, hot touch is irresistible…
Temporarily stripped of her powers, Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn adversary. It’s rumored that no one can tempt Bowen’s hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a future together is impossible, she fears he has no intention of letting her go.
No deed is too wicked for her seduction…
If they defeat the evil that surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul—or will she risk everything for her fierce protector?

Worked Up by Tessa Bailey is 99c! This hot contemporary romance is the third book in the Made in Jersey series and it can be read as a standalone. Readers loved the mechanic hero and the relationship he had with his four sisters. Plus, there’s a marriage of convenience! However, some wish it were longer because everything happened so fast.
Factory mechanic Duke Crawford just wants to watch SportsCenter in peace. Unfortunately, living with four divorcee sisters doesn’t provide much silence, nor does it change his stance on relationships. But when a fellow commitment-phobe stumbles into his life, getting him good and worked up, he can’t deny his protective instincts.
Samantha Waverly’s brother just put her in an impossible situation. The only way out? Marry huge, gruff, gladiator look-alike Duke—for show, of course. She doesn’t make promises—she knows too well how easily they can be broken—and this is no exception.
As the blistering attraction between them grows, the lines around the no-strings relationship blur. But Duke and Samantha’s marriage is only for show…or is it?

The Seven Sins of Ruby Love by Erin Quinn is $1.99! This is the third book in the Beyond paranormal romance series and just came out this month. I believe one of the earlier books was nominated for a RITA. A few readers seemed to be divided on whether this has standalone potential, but they all agree that since all three books in the trilogy are out, it’s good for binge reading.
The third in the “fascinating…powerful…beautifully wrought” (RT Book Reviews) Beyond series takes you to a paranormal world of demons, angels, and Fates worse than death…
Ruby thought she was the ordinary sister in the Love clan—that is, until her dead brother searches her out and begs for her help. Along with him come others—not just other dead, but demons, too—and they are terrifying enough to alarm even someone with Ruby’s eerie family history. She turns to John Cassian, a successful-but-sketchy businessman who seems to know more about demons than is good for either of them. He agrees to help her save her brother’s soul, but Ruby knows he has motives of his own. He is too compelling, too sensual to resist, but even as he seduces Ruby’s body, she fears the consequences of trusting him. John is seeking revenge, but who or what has he targeted? And how can she love a man who frightens even the stuff of nightmares?

@SB Sarah Can you tell me if Beginner’s Guide: Love and Other Chemical Reactions is split 1st person or just the heroine’s POV?
I know it’s not standard practice on the blog but if reviews or sale book posts had a notation of what style the book is written in, it’d help me decide if it’s something I’d want to buy or read. )
If this isn’t something SBTB wants to include, I totally understand! I’m just a picky reader who haaaates 1st person singular POV, will tolerate 1st person split POV, and LOVES 3rd person. Knowing a book uses which style is really helpful for me personally. But again, no worries if this means more work on yalls side of the HTML world. 🙂
(Sorry. I meant for the books on sale that have been read. Obviously I wouldn’t ask yall to research what style of writing is used for stories you’ve not read.)
Sorry, chem romance is single narrator first person.
There is a BOGO sale at Harlequin.com through tomorow (limit 10 books or ebooks total with the code BOGOHOPPY
That Tessa Bailey books sucks. I’m so tired of writers thinking I want to ONLY read sex. I mean hot is the build, the tension between a couple, a couple with actual personalities besides huge and confused. Done with Tessa Bailey. Done.
