Publisher's summary

True love requires a little research and development in a funny, heart-racing romance by Sariah Wilson, the bestselling author of The Paid Bridesmaid.

How can Anna Ellis, a geeky, brilliant, and hopelessly smitten cosmetic chemist possibly win over Craig Kimball, the man of her dreams—who also happens to be her boss? The answer is Craig’s empathetic (and handsome) CEO half brother, Marco. The makeup mogul knows Craig for the ridiculously competitive rival he is. Whatever Marco has, Craig wants. That can be Anna, if she’s game to play.

All Anna and Marco have to do is pretend they’re falling in love and let the rumors begin. If the experiment in attraction works, a jealous Craig will swoop in and give Anna her happily ever after—if it weren’t for one hitch in the plan. There’s more to Marco than meets the eye. With every fake date, Anna’s feelings are starting to become dizzyingly real.

Blame it on chemistry. It’s unpredictable, exciting, and occasionally combustible. If Anna and Marco are really falling in love, who are they to argue with science?

Critic reviews

“With a very special appeal to fans of clean, wholesome, contemporary romantic comedy, The Chemistry of Love…is brilliantly narrated by the vocal storytelling skills of Em Eldridge.”Midwest Book Review

“Abundant pop culture references and nerdy quips only enhance…This is utterly adorable.”Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“In this adorable romantic comedy, the fake dating trope is taken to another level with banter and nerdy references Anna and Marco throw around. Adding to the fun, Anna’s grandparents and their pet birds will have readers in stitches. A fresh and fun romance from Wilson.”Library Journal

Really liked this book

love this author and really enjoyed this book. I didn't love the narrator though, it seemed like a robot sometimes.

Narration bomb

I wanted to like this one but...
I could not listen because the narrator cadence drove me crazy.
UPDATE
I did finish the book. I sped it up a bit and that helped enough for me to get interested in the story. So it's ok.

I love this author…but couldn’t finish

The story line gets lost with the robot sounding narration. So bad. I made it through 3 chapters and had to stop.

A disappointment

Sariah Wilson is one of my favorite authors and I usually read her books then listen to them multiple times. This one was listened to first and I was disappointed in the performance artist, but I endured the whole book. It was better in the last third but I wouldn’t recommend the audio version. I just think the performance artist was a bad match for this book. It also lacked the characteristic humor of her other books. The basis for the romance initially was Anna’s “love” for Craig but I never really bought this more than a crush and it made the remainder of the book predictable, and with the lack of humor that was actually funny, it disappointed. I still really like Sariah Wilson but I will not be listening to this one over and over.

Lack of inflection and predictable

The story was lacking in shock and awe for me, and it was hard to get into the main character especially because of the lack of inflection from the narrator. Maybe I’d have liked the story more if I had read this myself instead of an audible.

Not bad, cute read

Cute read. Kinda cheesy and predictable but still good. Stick with the actual book and not audible, it was almost unbearable to listen to.

Ohhhh the voice!

First book I almost didn’t finish because listening to the reader was like listening to an automated computer voice!

Reader is terrible

I have to switch to reading the book. The voice inflections are so distractingly obnoxious that I want to stab myself in the ears to make it stop.

Corny but sweet story

The storyline and lead female characters is a little corny and over the top and she is also lovable. You to shake sense into her and then hug her. Sweet story light fun read

Loved the story but hard to listen to

The writing was fantastic and I was so engaged in the storyline that I actually finished the audiobook. But the narrator was not good at all. The narration was bland and boring.
