“I would give this book ALL THE STARS if I could. Five is not nearly enough. This is such a clever, fresh take on finding your soul-mate.” ~ Read Me Romance Blog

“Take necessary precautions: two nerdy scientists are about to light up your ereader and leave you with a hot flash!” ~ Marika Ray, author of MomCom

“There was just something about these two that clicked and made my inner nerd squeal. And can I just applaud Kingsley on writing this story? The amount of research alone that she had to have done. Wowza.” ~ Amity Book Blog

“Corban is adorable. Disheveled, distracted, caring, full of animal facts, a BOSS in bed, and secretly jacked- what more could you want?” ~ Romance Reviewed

For psychology researcher Hazel Kiegen, science holds all the answers. Her decision to swear off dating? Totally backed by her own calculations. Just don’t ask about her missing orgasms. She hasn’t been able to science her way out of that little conundrum.

But her biggest problem? Corban Nash. He’s frustrating. Infuriating. And deliciously adorable, but that’s neither here nor there. He claims to have cracked the code to falling in love, and Hazel is determined to prove him wrong.

Corban Nash created the theory of accelerated intimacy after numerous successful tests on his friends and family. Every couple who used his questionnaire fell in love, until Corban found himself the last single guy in his social circle, and a groomsman in dozens of weddings.

The only problem is, it’s never worked on him. And science hasn’t explained why.

Despite being the lone aberrant data point, Corban believes in his research, and with his new job, he’ll have the resources to prove it. Verifying his theory right under the nose of his nemesis, Hazel Kiegen? Even better.

There isn’t a theory in existence that will make Hazel fall in love with Corban. Not even with his sexy half-smile and temptingly muscular body. But from the moment these two rivals meet, sparks fly. And when they put his questionnaire to the test, the results aren’t what either of them expect.

Hazel is a researcher who believes in the facts and rationale behind solid data is all that really matters. When she hears about Corban’s claims that his questionnaire is the answer when it comes to the question of falling in love, not only is she skeptical but determined to prove him wrong.

Corban’s greatest skill is analyzing data which is how he has created the perfect tool for people to fall in love. He may not have the concrete data to prove it but he knows that he will get in time but until then he has seen first hand the success that has happened when it is used even if it hasn’t had the same result for himself.

When Corban and Hazel start working together, they are like oil and water. They are both steadfast in their beliefs which make all their interactions fiery and fun. There is no denying the chemistry between them and although they are very different will they realize that they are compatible where it really counts, in their hearts?

These characters are so intriguing with all their quirks, their banter is humorous, the heat between them intense and there is no denying they are meant to be.
