The Love Theorem by Camilla Isley

Are a rocket scientist and Hollywood’s brightest star a match made in heaven or is it a catastrophe headed for a crash landing?

Lana loves four things: science, her cats, her friends, and her books. She’s on her way to earning her professorship when she finds out her long-term boyfriend has been sleeping with her best friend! That discovery has her hiding in the broom closet at a posh hotel.

Only, it turns out broom closets are the place to be these days.

Christian Slade, America’s sexiest man alive (as voted by fans), in a desperate attempt to escape the paparazzi finds himself in a broom closet with one sobbing occupant. Unable to leave a damsel in distress, he offers help, only to realize she has no idea who he is! It’s like he’s been given a gift. A smart, beautiful woman, who isn’t after him for fame and fortune . . .

Soon Christian is buying a Tesla to impress his scientist with his eco credentials and taking her on dates where no one will recognize him.

But as Christian falls in love he worries what will happen when Lana finds out who he is?

A STEMinist romance with an unforgettable meet-cute perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood!

My Verdict

I was looking for a quick easy romance to cleanse my palate before reading something more serious and substantial. And that is what I got, I guess. Unfortunately, for me this one was too cliche even for a contemporary romance. It read like a Hallmark Christmas movie for teens. I was really not impressed. I read it in a day, but I could have quit halfway through and written the ending myself. I don't like to be negative, but at the risk of sounding like an English teacher, this one had no depth whatsoever. I give this one 2.5 stars.
