What happens when frenemies take the experiment out of the lab and into the bedroom?
[LIBRARIAN'S NOTE: PREVIOUSLY TITLED: LOVE ACCORDING TO SCIENCE]
Corban Nash is a self-proclaimed data nerd with a sexy half smile and a set of abs that leave girls drooling. He developed a theory he claims will make two people fall in love. And after numerous tests on friends and family, it’s been successful for everyone who’s tried it. The problem is, it’s never worked on him. And he doesn’t know why.
Still, he’s determined to prove his theory. The only thing standing in his way? Hazel Kiegen.
Hazel refuses to be distracted by Corban’s adorable awkwardness or his temptingly muscular body. He claims to have cracked the code to falling in love, and she’s going to prove him wrong.
From the moment these two rivals meet, their chemistry is irresistible. And what’s wrong with a little sex between enemies? But when they put Corban’s theory to the test for themselves, the results are deliciously unexpected.
Author’s note: STAND-ALONE romcom featuring a sexy nerd with a great big... heart. Tons of tension and witty banter. Super hot frenemies with benefits. Badass lady friendships with a widening circle of trust. And a romantic HEA that will leave you swooning. Falling for My Enemy was previously titled Love According to Science.

I have so many negative things to say about this book, it's ridiculous.
The premise was good. The execution though? Nope. The characters started out good but the further in the book, the less I liked them. I love Sophie and Nora, sure, it was nice to see Everly too, but Hazel and Corban? NOPE.
Every sex scene is written from the perspective of a man. His desires, his thoughts and feelings are front and centre. I would really like to read it from the woman's perspective and to focus on her pleasure. Her feelings. Not shade to the author, but I really read better written smut scenes in fanfictions. And having 3 or 4 smut scenes in total (not in passing) doesn't make the book ‘hot'.
And all of the sex scenes (except the one oral scene I was surprised to see here) were very similar to the previous book, even if the setting was different, they followed the same structure: out of nowhere, doggy style, feral man having to own a woman and making her his, and god forbid of they look into each other's eyes, that would be the end of the world. Rough and fast, with no intimacy and tenderness that I like. Really, nothing against the author but all of these scenes are what I really dislike so no points from me here.
so (SPOILER) i HATE public proposals. Public declarations of love, if done right, are cool, but proposals? Hell no. And I dislike that every pair at the end needs to end up getting married and having kids. What if they decided children werwn't in their future? Also, I hate the fact that you need to download ‘bonus epilogues' if you want to see what's going on. In the first book at least, the bonus epilogue hinted at Hazel's story happening next, while this bonue epilogue focused on the domesticity of Hazel, Corban, and their 4 (hes, FOUR) children. And a smut scene at the end, because of course.
I didn't have high expectations about thias book and yet, none was met. Disappointed. The book is not bad per se, and some tropes are interesting, but that book's not for me. I hope the next one is better, though the words ‘the guy who bullied Sophie' don't inspire confidence.
