The Attraction Equation by Kadie Scott – a Review

 

The Attraction EquationAmazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
FBI agent Max Carter lives his life by a strict set of rules—rules that don’t allow for distraction, deviation…or a relationship. But tell that to his matchmaking mama. To avoid yet another set-up, he announces he has a girlfriend. And now has to produce said girlfriend at Christmas dinner. Maybe Santa has a suitable actress in that red bag of his…

Gina Castillo is about to break her building’s iron-clad “no pets” policy to give her little brother the perfect Christmas gift—a dog. Too bad Max, the most inconveniently sexy tenant in the building, catches her red handed. Gina expects to be evicted, but instead finds herself blackmailed into playing the role of his girlfriend.

Two lies plus one dog should equal a hot mess of a holiday, but attraction and Christmas magic might just defy the rules…

Review:

I’ve read Kadie Scott before ( The Wrong kind of Compatible book 1 in this series), so jumped at the chance to read The Attraction Equation, and I wasn’t disappointed. The sarcasm is there, the witty one liners are there, and the well written characters are there too. 

Max is a neat freak, in fact, if it’s not tidy he doesn’t cope well. I hate to use labels (OCD) and he always has a plan and a back up plan. But he’s dropped himself right in it with his family, he’s told them he had a girlfriend, and they in turn want to meet her (oooops) he’s sick of being the butt of the family jokes. And when he meets Gina, his mind works overtime and comes up with a plan. 

Gina thinks it’s blackmail ?she only wants to hide a present for her brother, but after getting caught, she has no alternative but to say yes to the “fake relationship”. Gina is a free spirit….. goes with the flow, jumps in with both feet first. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. People only see the flighty silly female, but she wants to create beautiful stage sets, maybe a little organisation is what she needs. 

The time they spend together is hilarious. Each learning about each other and themselves, yes we know the outcome, buts it’s a romance story, so it’s a forgone conclusion. 

But the journey there was half the fun, punchy one liners and pages that made you smile. 

The series is loosely connected, so you can read it on it’s own.

The Wrong Kind of Compatible by Kadie Scott – a Review

 

The Wrong Kind of CompatibleAmazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
Data analyst Cassie Howard may be brilliant (and, okay, a little awkward), but she’s worked hard to get where she is. She definitely doesn’t need some sexy new analyst coming in and taking credit for her work. Or the inappropriate thoughts that keep popping out of her mouth she’d rather he not hear.

For undercover FBI agent Drew Kerrigan, computers have always made more sense than people, but he’d better develop some slick social skills in a hurry if he’s going to win over the too-tantalizing-for-his-sanity Cassie. Hacking their systems was easy. Now he’s just got to hack the one person in the company most likely to see through his ruse…

 

Review: 

The Wrong Kind of Compatible by Kadie Scott is the 1st book in her Love Undercover series.  Cassie Howard is a data analyst for a government contractor. She is a woman who simply doesn’t do good, she has to excel or go home, she is focused on an analysis that will take the company she works for to an even higher level, but she is lacking all social skills, I love the fact she has no “inner voice” all she says just comes out of her mouth. 

Drew is the new computer whiz hired to help her make that happen – who also happens to be one of the best hackers in the world.  But Drew Kerrigan is an undercover FBI agent investigating shady dealings at Cassie’s work place.  He’s also a lovable nerd. 

And guess who is his prime suspect for the shady dealings ….. none other than Data Minds’ prodigy data analyst, Cassie. As Cassie and Drew bond over a love of Star Wars and codes, can Drew uncover the real criminal? And what will Cassie say once she knows who her new love actually is ? 

The quirky dialogue of these characters will have you cracking up….Holy smoking hotness, Batman. No computer nerd has a right to look like that.” “Computers he got…  Interactions with people took effort.” Wait? Did I say that one out loud?”

Romance, comedy and a little mystery; The Wrong Kind of Compatible has a little bit of everything.  I really enjoyed these characters. And would recommend you read it and laugh along with Cassie and Drew.
