Who doesn’t love a fake romance trope? Usually, those are the books that really grab your heart and this one was no exception. The Chemistry of Love by Sariah Wilson had the right formula to charge my inner nerd gal. As a fan of Sariah’s, this was so much fun to read. This was such a sweet, funny romantic comedy that will definitely swoon and charm its way into your heart.

We are introduced to Anna Ellis, a chemist. She is such a likable character who you just want to become besties with. She is smart, funny and in love with the wrong person. She feels he is the man of her dreams. Ever since he helped her one day, she has been completely smitten but guess who he is? None other than her boss, Craig Kimball. Her life mission is to grab his attention and ride off in the sunset but only one problem, she has no idea how that will happen until she stumbles upon his half brother, Marco and oh does he have a challenge for her.

Marco is cute, smart but has a bit of a mystery to him. He is CEO of the company and has a bit of a rival relationship with Craig. Marco has a lot going for him and with this competitive spirit, Craig tries to get everything Marco has, personally and professionally. So when Anna finds herself in a compromising situation, Marco offers her a solution to get what she wants and in exchange and him as well. He proposes the idea of a fake relationship that would make Craig jealous and give her what she wants. This sounds all nice until the lines of fake and real blur blend together. The heart knows what the heart wants. Sometimes, what’s meant to be might be standing right in front of you. Will this be the solution to their chemical equation?

As always, Sariah’s books are such a sweet treat. This is a standalone book that can be read without any of her other books. For all the introverts out there, this will really make you swoon. Besides the fun dialogue and chemistry between Anna and Marco, Catalina was so much fun and such a supportive friend. I always love to see great friendships. We can’t forget Anna’s grandparents. Their sense of humor and relationship with Anna was a nice addition to the book. Overall, this trope is always fun getting to the hea. If you are a fan of Sariah, then you will enjoy this one. If you’re looking for a fun, sweet nerdy rom-com, add this to your TBR list.
