Melody Clutterbuck has her eyes on the prize, and that prize is handsome, uptight engineer, Will Darling. As part-owner of the local flower shop, people expect her notoriously sunny disposition and esoteric way of doing things to shine, but when the town gets wrapped up in an orienteering competition, Melody’s competitive nature comes out. She plans to win both the wilderness event and the man, … man, and nothing will get in her way. Not even Wil himself.
Will Darling is nothing if not a fierce competitor. He is focused, determined, and driven. So when he finds himself falling for Melody and her chaotic, flighty, sexy ways, it seriously threatens his regimented world. And when they’re paired together for the orienteering competition and dropped into the middle of the Shoshone National Forest alone, more than one kind of sparks fly.
Can Will hold onto his organized world or will the fire between him and Melody take over and spread chaos in its wake?

I am enjoying the books in this series but this on is my favorite.
I didn’t care for the female lead, she came off as manipulative and obnoxious initially. She redeemed herself in the end when she began to make the competition her personal goal. But her constant baiting of the male lead was juvenile and off putting.
too bad the author only know one word, and it begins with f
kept me going, good story
Really thought this was a good book. Different.
Different in that this was not your run of the mill live story.
The characters were sort of goofy.
Good to catch up with previously introduced characters. Fun, easy read.
This was a different twist on romance and quite refreshing.
Decent read, but not great.
This is the second book in the Nerds of Paradise series. Once again, fun, quick, and entertaining. Chaos Theory is a nerdy rom-com with some interesting, albeit somewhat bizarre, characters. William A. Darling, Jr. is thirty-four years old and still afraid of disappointing his father. He’s a rocket scientist who has always wanted to work for NASA. Scratch that, his father has always wanted him to work for NASA. Will is perfectly happy to be working in Haskell, WY for PSF. Chaos Theory deals, in a very lighthearted way, with the dysfunctional relationship between Will, Jr. and Will, Sr. and how it’s all resolved, or not, with the help of one of Haskell’s well-loved citizens and a few days in the woods. Melody was a little too “giggly” and flightly most of the time, but she redeemed herself when she did decide to be a mature woman. I did like that she never lost her fun side, though. If you’re looking for a light read this is a decent series to consider.
good read
Great book
Couldn’t get past the first chapter. Just didn’t do anything for me.
good ‘beach book’, Easy reading, predictable happy ending
I like Merry Farmer and have read lots of her books. They have feel good endings and are great happy ever after books. Just what I like.
