Book Blurb:
Opposites attract like a magnet to steel, or in this case, Emerson to Steel Emerson Powers has been so focused on obtaining her science degree that she’s neglected the more social aspects of college life. With the new start of her junior year, she’s determined to fix that with a real hands-on lesson in biology. The assignment is simple enough—teach the rock star’s son how to be good, while he shows her how to be very bad. Two objectives, one outcome … will the lesson be love or heartbreak? Steel is no longer the bad boy Emerson knew from prep school, and he’s set to prove it by helping Emerson complete her secret list of desired college experiences. And if he can convince her that they are meant to be together along the way, even better! While teaming up on experiments, both in and out of the classroom, Emerson discovers a new side to Steel. Leaving her to question everything she thought she knew. Still, is it enough to forgive the past or just mere chemistry? *This story originally appeared in the bestselling anthology Kiss & Tell
My Review:
A reformed bad boy, a science-loving gal, and a list to conquer…but what about love? Being a rockstar’s son taught Steel to crave a real connection. The minute he strolls into Emerson’s life on campus, he feels an electric connection. They’re partnered up in science class and he makes it his mission to prove to her he’s not the same bad boy she remembers from prep school. He likes her, a lot, but he needs to show her he’s for real and it’s not some prank. That’s when he finds her list. She’s made a list of college experiences and he’s just the man for the job. The more time he spends with her, the harder he’s falling for her. Does she feel the same or is it all to tick the boxes on her list? Time to tell her the truth…and let the chips fall.
Blinded Me With Science is a new adult/college romance I read in one sitting. Seriously, I couldn’t stop reading it. I love a redeemed hero and Steel is that and more. He was once a bad boy but now, thanks to Emerson, he’s a full-on cinnamon roll hero. She, on the other hand, is a smart science gal who doesn’t realize how beautiful she is. She loves science and always has her nose in a book but now she wants to live a little. I connected with her right away. Watching her bloom into a fun-loving woman who is also smart was why I loved this book so much. The other reason why this book is so wonderful is the growth of Steel. He’s at a turning point in his life and with Emerson by his side, he gets through it. Talk about swoon worthy. The writing is stellar and is one of the reasons why Tara September is one of my all-time favorite romance authors. The plot moves at a great pace with descriptive narration and a tight cast of characters. If you love college romances, pick up Blinded Me With Science. If romance is your reading jam, you’ll want to read Blinded Me With Science. Highly recommend!
