I truly enjoyed Faking Mrs. Right and couldn’t wait for the next love adventure in the Dirty Martini Running Club. Hazel and Corban start of as enemies arguing over Corban’s claim to fame, cracking the code of love. Eventually, all their frustration and irritation transform into something more friendly and romantic as Hazel and Corban realize they have feelings other than anger for each other.

Claire Kingsley is one my favorite romance authors and I was smitten with Love According to Science. I couldn’t help but to fall in love with the easily distracted, but caring Corban or the too-smart-for-her-own-good, but loyal Hazel. The pace that their romance unfolds is well thought-out and the personalities and behaviors between the two are well matched. The romantic scenes are the perfect length. Corban and Hazel and my current favorite romance couple.

One of my other favorite things that Claire Kingsley does in her writing is to have character cameos from her other stories. I got a thrill out of spotting Ivy and William, and also getting to see characters from Faking Mrs. Right, like Shepard, in this story. I get a bit mushy seeing previously read characters return, even if only in passing. The use of Salishan Cellars as the venue for Everly's wedding was another wonderful addition to the world that Claire Kingsley has created for her characters.

Corban and Hazel’s are truly the perfect scientific pairing. I laughed, cried, mopped, and swooned right along with Hazel and Corban. The feels are strong in this story. I’d give Love According to Science five out of five stars.
