Dr Elsie Hannahan is applying for a job at MIT, and suddenly comes eye to eye with Jack, the brother of Greg, one of her clients. Jack is under the impression she’s a librarian, not a theoretical physicist. Elsie thought Jack was a PE teacher, not the renowned experimental physicist Jonathan Smith-Turner, a man she despises because he ruined her mentor’s career. Elsie really needs this job as she needs the health insurance so she can purchase the medication she needs for her chronic illness (diabetes). When the job is given to another candidate, Elsie is heartbroken and is worried she’ll have to take more paid dates from the Faux app (the one she met Greg on). The app is mainly for ACE and ARO people who need a date to functions etc.
Then, George, the candidate who did get the job offers Elsie a job on her team. Jack and Elsie start seeing each other and get really hot and heavy within days. Elsie learns a shocking thing about Jack’s deceased mother and her mentor which breaks up the couple of physicists…
I actually enjoyed this one! Even if it has quite a bit of smut in it (about 20% of the book). The characters were believable IMO, I’m not a physicist so I’m not sure about the physics but it came across as legit.
