Rocket Science | Emily Mayer
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
An aerospace engineer and a professional athlete walk into a club…stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Oh, you haven’t? Too absurd to be true you say? I agree. Throw in my terrible social skills and it’s a disaster in the making. Why my current neighbor and former friend Paige thought it would be a good idea to set us up will forever be a mystery. Sure, it would be great to have a life partner, but I’m kind of killing it out here being Miss Independent.
I have an amazing job. I build rocket ships! Okay, yes, they recently have a pesky habit of exploding at lift off, but we’ll get that tiny bug figured out soon. Probably. Who needs sleep anyway?
I work with one of my best friends who set up a profile for me on a dating site. I now have a phone filled with unsolicited pictures of a certain piece of male anatomy which is honestly pretty unsettling.
I have a cat who likes me. Sometimes. Attempted murder is just his love language.
Oh! And I have an entire wardrobe of elastic waistbands. Elastic waistband. I think that one sells itself.
So, things are great, thank you very much. Except now I have a problem. A very muscled, attractive problem. Despite the disaster at the club, Sebastian Kincaid seems determined to bulldoze his way into my life. I don’t understand what his motivations could possibly be and it’s starting to make me a little crazy. Even worse, I can’t seem to get my head and my heart on the same page. I can make this work. As long as he keeps his shirt on and hands to himself.
I mean it’s not exactly rocket science.

Rocket scientist, HP & LOTR fan girl, nerd extraordinaire, socially awkward Lennon over analyzes everything. In her career, that‘s a good thing, but in the romance department it hasn‘t really worked out. Full of friendship, awkwardness, nerdy references and sexy men, but missing the relationship angst that almost always accompanies this genre. I like that about Emily Mayer. Her characters typically choose honesty, and they communicate. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Elizabeth2 The MC also has a heathy outlook on relationships - she likes herself and knows that she doesn‘t want to, and shouldn‘t have to, change who she is for any partner. She‘s smart, kind, nerdy, awkward and she embraces all that she is. Emily Mayer writes healthy relationship romance - yes, with some romance tropes, but not with the ones that annoy me the most. 3y

This is a free read through my kindle unlimited subscription. I really enjoyed Emily Mayer‘s previous book, Everything Girl, which was a book club read. I‘m not usually a huge fan of romance, but every once in a while it‘s just what I want to read - light escapism. Mayer seems to leave some of the relationship angst romance formula out of her stories, which is my biggest pet peeve with most romance.
