Kate Ramsey is at the top of her game.She’s the hot new recruit at the most prestigious research institute in Germany, and she’s determined to live up to the hype — even if it means working day and night. Stress relief comes in the form of a no-nonsense affair with her neighbor, who also happens to be the director of the institute. Who says sex should be anything more than a contract between two people who have other things on their mind?


So when Tom Baker saunters into her life, Kate is understandably upset to see this well-oiled machine splutter and seize. Tom is young and smart, and far too pretty for his own good. Kate can’t help but be drawn to him, even if giving in to the attraction would mean risking everything she’s worked for. 
 

My Short and Sweet...

The Science of Attraction was such a fun read. Lately it seems that hot, nerdish, scientists are the new black. Or biker/rockstar, as it were. Not gonna lie, I think I can get behind this trend because you know what, smart and focused is HOT. Especially when the attention to detail is trained on you, amirite?

Ahem. So what we have here is a fun, sexy workplace romance between Kate and Tom, more than mildy complicated by her sometimes-but not serious boss/lover Rob. I know what you're thinking...love triangle! Boo, hiss, ick! But really, there's not much of a triangle, especially when you experience the lust-turned-love between Kate and Tom.

The Science of Attraction was not only sexy, but fun! The lab the characters work at is full of cool characters with nerdy, sometimes really witty one-liners. It looks like co-worker Margot's story is up next, The Music of Temptation, and I'm really looking forward to following her adventures.

  I felt my lips part as my chest heaved for air. Still smiling, he flexed his biceps slightly and shifted in his seat. "What?" he challenged.
  I fought back a smile, trying valiantly to find another place to look--finally settling on his eyes, which were now gleaming wickedly.
  "I'm a twenty-eight-year-old man sitting in front of an incredibly beautiful woman," he said. "This is my natural state."
