Here's one of my fav reads from 2023! I just love love love this writing duo! Incorporating a reality dating show into a romance novel isn’t new, but The True Love Experiment adds a new twist. All of the bachelors are romance archetypes, i.e. the cinnamon role, the bad boy, the hot nerd, etc. AND our heroine, Fizzy, is a romance author who’s in a writing slump. She falls quickly for the producer, Connor, who falls under the Prince archetype. Once she caught feelings I thought, oh here we go, I’m going to have to wait until the end of the book for them to get together. Well, I was gloriously wrong. They were boning before cameras started rolling. The book does go down the forbidden love trope, but it’s structured differently to allow for heat along the way. AND there is some heat! Connor is packing more than solid ratings. My perfect romance novel includes humor, heat and swooniness and this book has all three!
