“I’ll take you however I can have you. In here, where it’s just us. Out there, in front of everybody. I’ll follow your lead.”

The Love Simulation is such a sweet story! If you are a fan of forced proximity or he falls first then this is the book for you! I should also note that the audiobook is fantastic and Sisi Aisha Johnson does a masterful job narrating the story! 

When Brianna’s principal halts the school’s library upgrade in favor of spending money on the football field, she joins a team of teachers who are spending their summer in a Mars simulation in hopes of winning enough prize money to fund the upgrade themselves. But when Roman, a science teacher and son of the principal, is added to the team at the last min, Brianna sees red -- is he there to spy for his dad or sabotage their chances in some other way? Brianna and Roman’s hostility and attraction quickly intensifies with their close quartes but as the school’s assistant principal, Brianna is afraid that she will soon have to choose between the school she loves and the man who has captured her heart. 

I throughly enjoyed this sweet and entertaining rom com! Etta Easton’s writing is so engaging. I just ate this book up! The Mars simulation setting was fun and I liked that she introduced many STEM elements into the story without overwhelming the reader. All in all, The Love Simulations is fun and sweet with the perfect balance of wittyness and heart. 

If you have been looking for a swoon-worthy enemies to lovers story to add to your bookshelf this spring then check this one out, especially if you are an audiobook listener. It is so cute!!
