A review by smalltownbookmom
Experimental Marine Biology by Susannah Nix

4.0

I'm so excited this book is finally out on audio with returning narrator Caitlin Kelly! Another sweet, emotion-filled romance from Susannah Nix's Chemistry Lessons series. This book features Brooke, a marine biology PhD student and her friends to lovers journey with high school bestie and NYC super model Dylan. Dylan comes to LA and spends the week hanging out with Brooke. Things heat up and the two finally confront their mutual attraction. When Dylan wants to take a chance on a real relationship though Brooke gets cold feet.

This one was a fully closed door romance which was a little disappointing. The chemistry between Brooke and Dylan was top notch and oh man the Dad-joke level puns were on point! I also loved the Ripped Bodice bookstore reference and how the author worked in conversations about how amazing romance novels are, for both men AND women. Dylan was a hottie with a huge heart and wins all the book boyfriend stars, showing up for Brooke when there's a family crisis.

Fans of this series are sure to enjoy the cameos from past books in the series but overall this was good but not the best one for me. Too PG!! Gimme all the steam please :) I'm going to be sad when this series ends after Elementary romantic calculus!
