Review: Love and the Laws of Motion by Amanda Weaver
SYNOPSIS:
Together they’ll unravel the secrets of the universe
Astrophysicist Olivia Romano has always preferred to stay close to her family in Brooklyn—even at the expense of her academic career. But with her advisor missing in action and an unscrupulous professor undermining her work, she’s forced to rely on the reformed-hacker-turned-elite-computer-genius whose sexy smile she can’t get out of her head.
Nicholas DeSantis cut ties with his family at eighteen, running away from his old-school Italian American neighborhood to make it big in Silicon Valley. When Livie comes to him for help, he can’t resist the project or the quirky woman behind it. Moving into the Romano house in his old neighborhood seems like the perfect short-term solution, if he can just continue to avoid his own family.
But while living together makes working with Livie easier, fighting his growing attraction to her becomes a whole lot harder.
When Livie’s research is sabotaged, Nick takes a huge risk to get her the proof she needs to salvage her career. Moving forward means leaving Brooklyn and spreading her wings at last—just when Nick might finally be ready to put down some roots.
Review:
The Romano sisters are back! I have been anticipating the next story in this series since I read The One I Love to Hate back in March.
Can I just say, I freaking LOVE smarty pants heroines. Livie is an astrophysicist and PhD candidate living with her family in Brooklyn. She meets Nick, a computer hacker/genius who happens to be from her neighborhood when she is looking for a coder to help with her research. When shit hits the fan in Nick's personal life& he is left without an apartment, Livie offers him the spare bedroom at her families house.
I loved this genius meets genius and all around good girl meets bad boy with a little added forced proximity romance. The writing was fantastic, the characters have layers and depth, and the conflict/resolution was so good.
