I just purchased two of her backlist books because I've been enjoying her newer ones so much. I adored The Love Hypothesis. If I'm remembering correctly, there were some steamy moments that you may want to skip over, but the overall story is such a good one.

I got together with a friend on Sunday who Deanna Raybourn's editor and she was telling me there is a new "stem" romance genre, of which The Love Hypothesis is an example. I haven't read it yet but have certainly read other romances with a scientific setting. Some from quite a while back! As my Latin teacher used to say, there is nothing new under the sun.Constancehttp://perfectretort.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32315311.post-66513169243841674712022-02-09T12:54:35.176-08:002022-02-09T12:54:35.176-08:00Makes sense.

Too often in romance novels, the author has to go to extreme measures to keep the couple from getting together and it just starts to feel silly and unrealistic. Having a mystery or something else going on helps to keep the plot from getting boring while the couple figures their relationship out!<br /><br />Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Kami!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.com
