Researching female orgasms, Dr. Steven J. Fisher thinks he has sex down to an exact science. But Dr. Fisher is really just a shy chemist who is a beginner in the ways of love. When a beautiful and orgasmically challenged Ph.D. student named Annie begins participating in his study, everything Dr. Fisher thinks he knows about women is turned on its head.

Cleverly presented through excerpts from Steven's clinical study and Annie's blog entries, this book gets to the heart of what makes us all tick, showing that love is, in fact, all about chemistry.

SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT: I usually type my reviews as I am listening or reading a noble, so sometimes they are about a particular part of the story. These are my opinions on the book so no need to get butt hurt if you think this is the best book ever written and are crossed about my review. I try to keep the spoilers to a minimum but sometimes they come up, but if you just want my opinion on whether to get this book or not, I would say PASS ON THIS ONE, it’s not really romantic.

Miss G is a complete idiot. First who signs up for a medical trial and then when the treatment or medicine is working lies to the researchers and pretend it doesn’t? What a dumbass. What is the point of a trial if the subjects are lying? As a Chemist the notion is very frustrating. To think someone get the balls to go into an arousal study and then to prove a point or because of shyness lies about the results ugh. She is a pointy-head nail that needs to be slammed by a hammer. Instead of swapping out the medicine why doesn’t she just quit (for the sake of the story I know but ugh), seems like there could have been a better conflict to continue the story. The footnotes and screen user name repetition is lame AF, annoying and does not give the aura of science, it just seems pretentious. She gets mad if asked by the doctor if she had an orgasm during the study, and reacts as if it’s just some creepy guys asking her for his own pervy desires. It is literally what the study is about you dumbass. Ugh seriously can’t stand her. She is so selfish, knowing that she could ruin his work and uses that to play scientist. The novel over does the scientific talk. I know they are eager to show their erudition but it becomes very boring. Steven is a cold fish and probably has the world’s smallest wiener. Susan is a horny slug, does the author know any real scientist, seems hard to believe considering that most if not all the female characters in this book and selfish and moronic. Not surprise the author is a guy, he must really think this is what women are like, even women in academia. -_-

Pass, not romantic

This is a cute and, at times, funny story. But I like a lil sumthin' with my romance, and this story had too little. There are no sexual encounters described, though there are a few alluded to. And there are a few kisses. But I don't regret purchasing the story. It's a meaningful, cute story with a small degree of depth. You can get overwhelmed with the repetitiveness of some parts. All email addresses are read out in total along with footnote citations. That can get tiring, but it didn't detract from the story to me. But I know it will for some listeners.

Liked but...

I really liked this funny tale of love and sex among science geeks. I plan to read more Anthony Capella (author's real name) books soon!

Awesome Nerd Romance

Quirky - Fun - Romantic

Any additional comments?

A pleasant surprise. I don't quite know what to say other than I enjoyed it as a unique change of pace in the romance genre.
