jigsawgirl's review against another edition
5.0
This was not your typical romance. It was so much more. Wade and Sophie are two broken souls. Because of that, I thought this might be a little sad and depressing. I was so wrong.
Wade and Sophie's story was about healing, being strong, mending the broken pieces, being honest. All of Wade's friends and his brother were a little quirky, but Sophie fit right in with them.
Wade and Sophie got each other. It was just that simple while at the same time, it was so complex. They could read each other and understand what the other person needed. I really don't have the words to make you understand how really good, how enjoyable, how thought provoking, how romantic, and satisfying this book truly was to read.
I highly recommend it, and I don't normally highly recommend anything.
I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Loved Wade and Sophie! Especially because at the surface, they 'shouldn't' work, but they sure did!

This is probably the best Melissa Blue book I have read. She has a knack for writing brilliant flawed characters that remind me that we can all find the happy ending even if we aren't omg perfect and have our own broken dark bits. I love Wade. He's an ass, but I love him.

A short entertaining romance between a genius astrophysicist with bipolar and his newly assigned publicist whose been badly burned by a previous relationship with a client.
This hits pretty much all the formula tropes that you'd expect. The two initially can't stand each other, but have an undeniable physical attraction that they can't help but act on and then have to deal with the fallout, some of which turns out to be a relationship. There's lots of geeky bits (the title is a Doctor Who reference), some reasonable stuff on the aftermath of the diagnosis of a serious mental illness and the sex scenes are quite hot as well.
However, the writing is often a bit clunky and the editing has some major failures on almost every level beyond spell check. That manifests in incorrect references in a few places, lots of missing words and a few cases where the sentences just didn't make sense and paragraph construction that caused me to have to go back and reread more than a few times to get the sense of what was happening.
This was formulaic and fun, and worth it for that, but a better editing process would have fixed a lot of what made this a three star read for me.

Astrophysicist and publicist. A little exploration of the impact of mental health issues on relationships. Also learning to trust after a big betrayal. Largely internal plot. Some geekiness around astronomy and Dr. Who. I'll always read more Melissa Blue.

3.5 that I’m rounding up. Hard to sum this one up - characters with flaws and difficult pasta coming together in a classic romance-novel everything happens so fast sort of way.

This was an okay love story. The beginning and end were a little boring for me but the middle part was just interesting enough to keep me going. Didn't come out caring about what happens to either character to be honest.
Low key feeling some type of way about how they made fun of Doctor Who. Don't come for my Doctor like that lol.
