can I just say I love love love this book. Pax, I had to grow into but Elijah was adorable. The author did a great job proving how much you wanted to both shield him and corrupt him because sometimes I thought he was so adorable I wanted to hug him and tell him I would keep him safe and other times I wanted to corrupt his innocence. He totally made the book for me. I loved his awkward nerdiness. And Pax was cool, he wasn't perfect in the past but I like that he wanted to be better for E. All in all a sweet, and steamy, romance

Adorkably fun, fairly low angst read. While 8 years might be a little close to be considered May/December, the fact that Elijah is still in college (PhD as a - you guessed it! - Rocket Scientist) and a virgin while Pax is experienced and established gives this book all those May/December feels.
This was an easy read with a lot of fun in and out of the bedroom (or wall, or car, or

Very cute. I loved Elijah. The first half was a bit of a rough go, as I wanted to punch Pax in the face. “I’ll only hurt him by being in a relationship with him so I’ll just mess with his emotions instead” is not sound logic for a fully grown adult acting like he has no control over his decisions. He did get his act together as the book went on, for which I was grateful, but overall this wasn’t especially memorable. Solid 3.

I think I only finished this because it was the book I kept picking up when I was between other reads and couldn't make a decision? Also, I spent the whole time thinking I must have read it before, because I recognized so much of it even though I didn't have it shelved. No idea what must have happened before, but I assume Past Me just forgot it existed and Present Me was trying to figure out what happened. This wasn't even a real hate read by the end.
But things I didn't like:
But things I didn't like:
- I never actually believed in the connection between these characters
- I'm apparently very picky when it comes to "nerdy" characters, because I am so sick of the naïve/innocent ones being written like fucking idiots
- I'm probably going to pick up the rest of the series to read some of the side characters

Sweet, hot and oh so fun
Five stars for a book by a new-to-me author. Reading about Pax and Elijah was a wonderful escape and a great way to spend an afternoon. The angst of a first time lover for Elijah, the vulnerability of Pax who thinks he isn't good enough. Just...sigh... It all came together in one hell of a ride. Now, if she would only write a book about Bishop and Hudson, my fantasy land where these guys live would be complete!

So adorable!
Omg I absolutely loved Rocket Science! Elijah and Pax were both adorable in their own ways and I had so much fun reading their story. The ending was super satisfying and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.

This book was exactly what the doctor ordered. I haven't read a book over 300 pages since May but this fluffy, sexy book was precisely what I needed.

I feel like I could cut off 75% percent of this book and I'd still have the same reading experience. Like, I get it, you guys are just fuck buddies and you're not supposed to fall in love; can we have a character and relationship development now? Or hell, can we get back to the plot?
