The perfect rom-com for fans of The Kiss Quotient and I Owe You One
One of them has love down to a science… lab.
When Molly is put on a new assignment, she’s over the moon. It’s an important, top-secret project – and she has a handsome new boss to ogle at when she’s not staring into a petri dish…
But when Sarah finds herself on the painful end of a disastrous break-up, no amount of Ben & Jerry’s or trashy rom-coms can cheer her up. She wants to take a more drastic approach to dealing with her heartbreak, and one that only her sister – and perhaps a sprinkle of science – can help with…
Is love really all in the chemistry? Or will Sarah get more than she bargained for?

Interesting Solution. This is a single romance book that actually features *two* couples – which is something I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. The science methods are plausible, the characters are all interesting and flawed, and the overall tale works well as a fairly real-ish romance. All around a great effort, and I’m looking forward to seeing more from this version of this author. Very much recommended.
The Love Solution by Ashley Croft a five-star read that gives the correct answer to the love equation where one plus one equals everything. This was so great, I was laughing and sometimes laughing so hard I was crying. I went into this thinking it was going to be a certain type of story and it became so much more. Sarah and Molly go together like Ben and Jerry but they are vastly different, it could be because of what they have faced in life and how the dealt with it differently, taking different roles in the relationship. Watching them as they face this new life and the challenges in it are complex and full of drama. Watching Molly and Ewan get to grips with the ride of their lives is just amazing and watching Sarah as she comes to terms with changes in her life will make your heart break but also watching her as she goes through those changes will also make your heart grow.
I am usually pretty good at selecting books to read, that are to my taste and I enjoy and review them highly. This unfortunately isn’t the case with this book. I have read some of this author’s previous books (published under a different name) and I loved them, so I thought for sure that this new book would also be enjoyable. I requested this book from NetGalley.com and starting reading it as soon as I finished the book I was reading. I had high hopes for it. I was wrong this time.
This book is written in a different style than her other books. One that I do not care for. The “F” word is used 24 times (if I counted correctly), mostly in the first 1/3 of the book. I do not mind that word being used, sparingly, if the story needs it to express itself, but when it is used constantly or just for the shock value, I am turned off. There are so many words in the English language that an intelligent person can use instead. A book I tried to read in the past used the “F” word 3 times in the first page. I closed the book and never looked back; at the author or that book. So yes, I do have strong feelings about this issue. I have to admit that this was something that put me on guard and from that point on, I was not really happy to be reading the book, but was still giving it a chance.
The story dragged to me. I was just pushing through it to get it finished. The plot did get my interest and toward the middle, I actually was enjoying it but then it seemed to drag on.
I think I am just too old for this story. (60yrs old). Three of the main characters are so immature and got on my nerves with their bad decisions and actions. The only character that I liked was Liam.
Honestly, I hate to write bad reviews. Authors are my Rock Stars and I appreciate their skill of creating a world that readers can escape to. This escape just wasn’t for me. I am sure there is an audience out there for it. Probably younger people than me.
