Description from Publisher:
How 20-Somethings Find Love in New York: 1. Meet for tapa. 2. Pretend you care more about his day than your career circling the drain. 3. Stumble to your place. Kick him out before he trips on dirty laundry. (Literal or figurative.) It’s easy. That’s how I like it. Before you crown me the least romantic person in Manhattan, meet my competition. Dr. Wesley Robinson. Keen blue eyes and fell-out-of-bed hair. Unhealthy obsession with 80s movies. Drier than a gin martini. Drive that makes Tony Robbins look like a slacker. Yep. The hot genius I’m helping sell his DNA dating app has a plan: Scale the highest peak of Mount Nerd. Then ride off with his genetic Cinderella. I shouldn't fall for him. Even if Wes kisses like there’s something dirty under that pressed shirt. Even if he opens me up like no man has. Even if guarding my heart's getting harder each day. Because New York isn’t Wes’s mountain. I’m not his princess... And nothing this easy can last. From USA Today bestselling author Piper Lawson comes a slow-burn, opposites-attract romance about a hot nerd falling for the girl he could never have - with a little help from science.
My Rating:	Heat Rating:
Piper Lawson is an author that has hit it out of the park for me more than once. Her writing style makes every book a pleasure to read, and her characters have fantastic depth. They are multi-dimensional, and are very genuine. Wes and Rena are no exception to that. Both are strong characters witn distinct voices and you really like them straight away. She's got confidence and friendliness for days, while he is serious and a bit awkward. The idea of the story was one that I really loved. Two people who are working on a unique dating app? A spunky heroine and a slightly-rough-around-the-edges scientist? Slow-burn romance with just the right amount of anticipation and wickedness? What's not to love? To be honest, I don't know how to answer that. But despite everything that should make this another favorite, I just couldn't really connect with the characters or their romance. There was just something missing for me.
