serenaerinreads 's review for:

The Love Simulation by Etta Easton
3.5

 
Read This Book If…you love Abbott Elementary! 
 
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5 
The Love Simulation by Etta Easton 
 
Genre: romance 
Spice Level: 3/5🌶, 1-2 open door scenes 
Setting: Houston, TX 
POV: single, 1st person, present tense 
Tropes: rivals to lovers, workplace romance, forced proximity, longtime crush 
 
My Thoughts: 
Ohhh the days of having a crush on someone just because you could see them every day! This story had a bit of a slow start to get to the main plot, but overall it was very cute. 
 
Brianna got in her own way a lot of the time, both with personal and professional matters. If Roman had spoken up at any point, a lot of their issues would have been solved. 
 
I thought the romance was sweet but felt a little rushed/surface-level, considering how close these two were forced to be. 
 
Memorable Quote: “I’m not a nice man. My dad made sure of it. But you know what I am? A man who goes after what he wants.” 
 
Thank you to the publisher for my advance copy!
