Blurb:Abby Thompson’s love life is a disaster. Everyone around her is blissfully falling in love, while she’s busy binge watching anime. The last thing she needs is a walking temptation, in the form of ex-nerd turned dreamy astrophysics professor, Spencer Hill, aka her new client.
It’s her job to find Spencer his dream home, NOT fantasize about a ride on his space rocket. But the sparks between them are impossible to ignore, and soon, Abby is wondering if her losing streak in love could be turning around. Can she get over her anxiety he’s got her out-brained, and can he let go of the past and the fear that the girl he crushed on in high school is still out of his league?
Find out in the new feel-good romantic comedy from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Carey Heywood!

4.5 stars — A friend told me I was going to fall in love with Spencer, and boy was she ever right!! But it wasn’t just Spencer, I loved Abby too!! My absolute favourite books always have two great characters that I love.
I already loved Abby a bit from the previous two books, but I love her even more in this book. Here we get to see what makes her up, and she was this perfect combination of sweet and sassy!! I adored her confidence and how proficient she was at her job…I loved how we got to see how her skills of observation made her exceptional at finding the right home for her clients. I loved the way she overcame the sinkhole, and she was just really down to earth in general. I also really felt how insecure she was about how she would stack up against Spencer’s colleagues, and their specific kind of intelligence. The thing that surprised me the most, and what made me fall even more in love with her, was how she overcame the challenge with Nadine.
Spencer was so awkwardly adorkable, I could hardly stand it. Occasionally his miscues were hard to take, he would completely misinterpret some situations and say the wrong thing. He was so endearing though, and I loved that once he made up his mind to go after Abby, he could not be deterred. There was no wavering of his affections for her, they were consistent. He may have been insecure about why someone would want him, but that didn’t stop him from being firm in his relationship with Abby.
Their chemistry was so smooth and delicious. I was all tummy butterflies, and I ADORED how they finally came together (thanks Sam!) and OMG, that whole first major kiss was AMAZING!! I loved the way they interacted in other situations too, and how they worked out their problems and insecurities together eventually. It may have taken them awhile to get over themselves and get together, but once there they felt very strong together, and so sweet.
This story had a wonderful set of secondary characters as well. I loved seeing the whole Thompson clan again, and loved seeing developments with both Finley & Noah and Paige & Asher. It was very satisfying for fans of the series, but would not be offputting to those jumping in to this one as their first book. It’ll just make you want to read the rest. Abby’s BFF Sam was awesome too, it was nice to see Abby have such a strong female friendship given that she grew up in a family of brothers. Spencer’s coworker Duncan was BIZARRE…he made me laugh, but he really was over the top…in an endearing way.
Honestly, my one (and I think really only) complaint (and the reason I rounded down instead of up) is that I wasn’t always a fan of the time jumps when the new chapter started. I would get into a scene, and then the next chapter would start and it would be hours/days/weeks/months later. It was a bit unsatisfying. Basically I wanted Ms. Heywood to write an 800 page book with all the details of every interaction between Spencer and Abby. I mean, is that really too much to ask? 😛
I can’t wait to see who tames Gideon, and how Eli’s story plays out. I honestly have no idea how that’s going to go. But as a beta hero fan, this is probably going to end up my favourite of the series. Spencer and Abby’s love story was just so happiness making.
