‘Destiny could also be a choice.’

4 ⭐️

A wee bit of a slow start but once I really got into it, this book charmed me. It was just so sweet and lovely, and its a she fell first but he fell harder, he loves her kid and just all the cuteness. It became a lovely fuzzy hug. 

Bloody loved Fizzy too, what a woman.

TWs: addiction, ref to child neglect, complicated family relations

Spit in a tube. Find your match. 🧬❣️ On her thirtieth birthday, Jess’s phone pings with an alert. She has matched with one of the founders of GeneticAlly, a company that’s designed a DNA test geared towards finding your soulmate. Jess and River have crossed paths before and to be honest, Jess can’t stand the sight of him. With all the science involved, Christina and Lauren could have been in over their heads with this one. Fortunately, that was not the case! I could tell the two did their research before even touching a pen to paper. The reader is quickly transported into GeneticAlly’s headquarters and faced with one question: are Jess and River’s results real?

One thing I love in romance novels is single parent representation. I absolutely adored watching River form a relationship with Jess’s daughter, Juno. I laughed a lot and I am eager to read Fizzy’s story next.

4.0

A sweet rom-com with a single mother statistician and a geneticist who starts a DNA-based dating app have a romance that starts with antagonism and sorta fake dating. The humor hit for me. I love the side characters that surround the FMC, and now I need to read Fizzy’s book. The third act conflict/resolution happened so fast, but I forgive it because the epilogue was so cute.
