Unlock Now Girl Least Likely To Marry (The Wedding Season, #2) Designed By Amy Andrews In Digital Edition

book is written with the best intentions to portray a likable female scientist, It may reflect what people imagine when they think of a smart driven young woman astronomer spoiler: she is kind of a lovable weird puppy.
It makes me want to rage and cry at the same time,

Have you ever watched Big Bang Theory Cassie is like a female Sheldon, She is described as brainy she is underestimating everyone around her she wears oversized geek Tshirts which apparently are given to her by fashionable friends so I do wonder why they are so big she is obsessed with work and is logical above all.


I can really live with all of the above, Sadly, there are more damaging traits: she constantly talks about her IQ and losing IQ points/going stupid because she is attracted to Tuck she has not concept of "love" and is instead serving her libido by having sex with him she is so driven that she says children will hinder her career.
I said "damaging" because no girl wants to be Cassie, The truth is, no female scientist is like Cassie, It is just what people think a scientist looks and behaves like and it keeps generations of smart and imaginative women away from science.
Think about it, which female characters from BBT do you want to be Penny, Every. Single. Time.

But all in all, there is a dearth of romance novels with smart driven female scientists as lead characters so yes, I will take a book like this because it is better than nothing at all.
Ms. Andrews is trying.


I read this for a Geek/Nerd Romance challenge, and while it definitely had that aspect to the story, it didn't really have much going for it besides that.


This was definitely a case of opposites attract,

and while I could somewhat identify with Cassie, I also hated her.
She was extremely cold and clinical, making her difficult to connect with, and her romance mostly about sex and not falling in love.
She was completely clueless when it came to love, which seemed at odds with her supposed genius status.


The only thing I really enjoyed about this book was Tuck, He seemed easy to connect with, invested in the relationship, and truly interested in Cassie, His celebrity status was downplayed quite a bit, but still present, and even his playboy status was downplayed! He was just an enjoyable character overall.


I've not been impressed with this series so far, and this book was the make it or break it point of the series for me, so I think I'll be abandoning the rest of it.
This book is actually bookin a series, It was slightly confusing at first because the author needed to provide background info, Let me sum it up here, Cassie has three friends that she met in college, She is attending the wedding of one of them, Reese, Apparently in the first book, Reese left her groom at the altar to elope with her exhusband.


This book begins with the aftermath of the cancelled wedding, Cassie is an astronomer, currently working to get her PhD at Cornell, She spots Tuck and her pheromones go crazy, She doesn't know to handle this, Her friends encourage her to proposition Tuck into a one night stand,

"This is purely scientific, you understand" Cassie clarified as Tuck continued to watch her with his blue eyes.
"I seem to have developed a, . . thing for your pheromones. "

As you can see, Cassie does not have the best social skills, Luckily for Cassie, the attraction is mutual and they have sex, Cassie fakes her orgasm which leads them to have more sex until she has a real one.


After their one night stand is done, Cassie can't stop thinking about the amazing sex she had with Tuck.
She invites him over. She still can't stop thinking of him, Eventually, Tuck suggests that she come live with him, temporarily, so that she can have all the sex she wants.
Of course, she agrees.

I enjoyed watching prickly, smart, socially inept Cassie deal with her attraction to Tuck, Naturally, it takes her awhile to realize that there is more to what she feels for Tuck than just lust.
Tuck is great hero because he understands Cassie, He appreciates her brain and her body,

This was a fun book to read, I enjoyed the banter between Cassie and her friends as well as Cassie and Tuck,

ARC provided by publisher via NetGalley, A light fluffy contemporary which was just what I needed,

Positives:

Loved both the h/H, Cassie was delightfully awkard and Tuck was wonderfully accomodating, He really didn't try to change her,
I really liked the fact that Love doesn't magically cure the h in this book, She's still the same person she was at the starting,
And Tuck being a workathome guy can live anywhere and he doesn't actually need Cassie to give up her career.


The biggest negative I had was the instalove trope, It was very very irritating,
I absolutely loved this book! When I first saw this book, I had no idea it was a sequel in a quartet.
But the books do work as standalones so I didn't really feel confused or anything whilst reading it.
I am not always fond of Harlequin KISS reads, but this one sounded really interesting, not to mention the title and cover in particular were very catchy.


The thing with this book is, I wasn't a big fan of Cassie, She annoyed me to no end, and I guess maybe it was the author's attempt at making her sound so intelligent and hard to love because she's brutally honest and not really the touchyfeely type.
But that didn't make sense to me, because if she was that ignorant of feelings and didn't count them for anything, she wouldn't have remained friends with the girls in her group.
None of them had anything in common with her, or were anywhere near how smart she was, so technically remaining friends with them would be considered as a waste of time for her.
I hated how she over analyzed everything, What made me read on though, was Tuck, Tuck's character was very charismatic, a touch arrogant, but also ridiculously irresistible, Which made for a fun clash between him and the exceptionally messy Cassie, I enjoyed his amusement to all things Cassie, and his strange interest in her, He was also very romantic and his grand gestures were quite sighworthy, The sparks between them were very cute,

I enjoyed Amy's writing, it made for an easy and quick read, but I didn't like the development of Cassie's character.


All in all, a fun summer read!
