Camilla Isley is out with another amazing book ‘The Love Algorithm’.  This book is another addition to the True Love series.  While this is part of a series the thing that is done very well with Camilla Isley's books is that you don’t have to read the other books to know what is going on.  Yes, there is a scene that was in the last book in the series but it is done again this time from a different point of view.  She writes each book as if it is a stand-alone and yet when you add the other books together the story that is told is beautiful. 

‘The Love Algorithm’ matches two people who are different from each other, Reese and Thomas, and forces them to work together.  They have an instant pull that Reese tries to deny but at the end of it all she can’t.  Then we have Thomas who right when he saw her knew she was the one but felt like he wasn’t smart enough for her. Which wasn’t the case. 

Camilla is able to bring charm and love into ‘The Love Algorithm’ and I am giving it a nice solid 4 stars.  There is no spice in this book as it’s a closed-door romance but even without it you are going to love the story and characters just as much as I did. 

‘The Love Algorithm’ is out now and available wherever you get your books. And as a bonus, if you are a Kindle Unlimited member it is included in your membership.

Insta-like

One bed 

Awkward meet cute

Thrown together by owner of Mercer Robotics (who also just so happens to be Thomas’ dad), Reese must tolerate Thomas enough to show him the ropes of her department. Only caveat, he’s seen her dancing in her underwear and literally cannot stop thinking about it. Reese can’t stand the thought of some rich spoiled man coming & invading her workspace to please the boss. What could go wrong right? 

This book has an insane amount of kick-your-feet banter, a hilarious robot who tells it like it is, & a *chef’s kiss* FMC is smarter than the MMC dynamic that is just SO good. I loved the premise of the book & the way they both had instant attraction. Although this is a hard trope for me to ‘fall in love with’ , I truly enjoyed reading & would recommend to anyone who loves banter as much as me. 

Thank you @netgalley & @boldwoodbooks for the early arc copy of this book ✨ 📕

The Love Algorithm is the third book in the True Love series. Last year I read Not In A Billion Years which was the first in the series but also my first ever Camilla Isley read. That story focused on billionaire Gabriel Mercer and I was so excited about the prospect of getting a book about his brother Thomas.

Thomas Mercer works at the family business and is advised by his father that he will be going to work in the robotics department where Research and Development is led by Reese. Reese, who is 28 with a PhD is understandably upset by the fact that Thomas is being handed this role with no prior knowledge or qualifications. She sees it as nepotism at its finest.

Of course these two hit it off and it is just the loveliest story. I know when I'm in a reading slump, Isley's books are easy reading palate cleansers and I just flew through this. I am not massively into science but you can tell that Isley knows her stuff and I questioned nothing. I loved the strong and clever female love interest and the very respectful character of Thomas.

I also loved Reese and Thomas's banter and if you're looking for an only one bed, billionaire, workplace romance with Star Wars puns, this is for you!
