Review: Wanting the Winger - Book #2 Love on the Line Series - Brenda Rothert - June 2025 Sports romances hold a special place in my reading heart, and when I saw Wanting the Winger available through Hambright PR, I didn't hesitate to request it. My history with Brenda Rothert's work goes back to before 2017, and I was fortunate enough to meet her at RT2017 in Atlanta—a dream vacation that remains one of my favorite literary memories. That connection made diving into Sebastian's story even more meaningful. Wanting the Winger delivers everything I love about the best friend's sibling trope wrapped in the high-energy world of ice hockey. Sebastian "Bash" is our charming winger who opens his home to Lainey, his best friend Eric's little sister. She's pursuing her dreams as a microbiologist with a new lab position, but there's one massive complication: her engagement to Shane, a man Bash absolutely despises. The tension between wanting to protect his ...

Review: The Infatuation Calculation - Book #6 Chemistry Lessons - Susannah Nix - May 2021 One of my favorite things to read is STEM romance or what I prefer to call it is Geek Chic Lit, where the main characters are a little quirky and have an academic background. Mia studied pure mathematics at University and now has finished her degree, of course, though jobs are scarce and you have like 300+ people going for one position. A bit like the job market these days as I went for an interview recently and they had 300 people apply and interviewed their top 6 candidates I have heard from people who have been looking everywhere for jobs and finding it difficult. Mia decides to look outside of the city and comes across a teaching one-year contract for Maths at Bowman University in Crowder, Texas.  She applies and gets the job and moves down from LA to the small town. It is not where she wants to be and is grateful it's only for a year. That is until she meets her landlord Birdie and her ...

Review: Dating and Other Theories - Book #2 Chemistry Lessons - Susannah Nix - September 2017 This particular series is one I have almost finished and enjoyed as each book connects to one of the members of a knitting circle. Each female is also part of the STEM community and eventually finds love. In Dating and Other Theories, we meet Esther who is an actual rocket scientist (this book was originally called Intermediate Thermodynamics) and she has one of those annoying next-door neighbors Jonathan who is a scriptwriter. When Esther's friend finds herself inching back to her ex, Esther steps in with an arrangement for Jonathan - she will help him with his movie script in return for three dates with her best friend. Jonathan reluctantly agrees, and we see sparks flying between Esther and Jonathan - rather than her friend who does eventually find her love with Esther's work colleague. I have to admit, part of Esther's character is frustrated but as we learned from her backgr...
