The Theory of Attraction (Science of Temptation, #1)


Review: The Theory (of) Attraction - Book #1 The Science of Temptation - Delphine Dryden - July 2012
One of my favorite themes to read is what I call Geek Chic Lit, which features academics and university workers. In The Theory (of) attraction it introduces us to a group of astrophysics and a sociologist. Cami lives in a group of flats down the road from the university and is surrounded by others in the Sciences fields. One is her next-door neighbor Ivan. As I was reading this book, all I could visualize was that Ivan's character was so much like Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, but since this book was written before the popular TV show, it did make references to the 80's character Urkel. To me though as I am a major fan of Big Bang Theory, I thought of Ivan as a sexier version of Sheldon. Imagine if you had Sheldon's brain in someone like Channing Tatum. The only difference though is that this book starts off with Cami trying to teach Ivan how to talk to donors and teaching him social skills. One thing leads to another, and the pair has this sizzling chemistry, and Ivan is about to introduce and teach Cami to a whole new side of him, she never knew existed - Ivan is into the BDSM world and is known as a Dominant/ Domme and Cami is about to become his Sub.  The Theory of Attraction by Delphine Dryden was a fun, steamy geek read. Think The Big Bang Theory meets Fifty Shades of Grey and you have The Theory of Attraction, though of course her book was released before both series. I am now looking forward to reading the remainder of the series.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
