A review by lizanneyoung
The Love Algorithm by Camilla Isley
4.0
I received an eARC of this book through NetGalley and am leaving an honest review!
⭐⭐⭐⭐
TROPES
🔹 Workplace Romance
🔹 Billionaire Romance
🔹 STEM Romance
🔹 One Bed
🔹 Dual POV
I have enjoyed Camilla Isley’s previous STEM-centric romance stories, so this was a no-brainer to read. This time, I get to follow Reese, the head of a research and development team in robotics, and Thomas, an MBA-clad suit that he going to take over as CEO of the company because his father says so.
This was one of those instances where a billionaire romance worked for me. Thomas is incredibly down to earth, which makes the story hit differently than other billionaire romances I’ve read. He also has a genuine interest in learning about the company he’s taking over, and putting in the effort, which is part of why I root for him and Reese. His understanding father feels like a bit of a stretch, but it gives them a happy ending, so I love it.
Reese is great to follow because she is unapologetically herself. From her hair dye to what she wears to work, she just wants to do the job she loves and have the respect her title comes with. It’s why the third act conflict hits so much harder, because that’s taken away in a sense. However, I love how that was resolved in so many ways because it was something that felt natural and like a best-case scenario in real life. Everyone is acting professionally for once in a story and that’s nice.
I also have to give a shout-out to K-2P. I have never rooted for a robot side character more.
