I love reading about couples where one is a "Geek," maybe because I was a bit of one in high school. Lauren was the perfect geek. I loved how she thought in terms of science, and cells and whatnot. I liked how, even though she was a geek, she had a sexual past. And lastly, I liked how Mike saw the non-geekiness in her. True love, ha ha!
Mike was a great hero. Sexy, smart, and flawed. His desire to keep his family together was well-written; I could feel his angst, and empathized with him. I enjoyed the differences between the brothers, similar to real-life families. I liked the way the author threw in bits of his past, so that I wasn't bombarded with an info-dump.
The mystery was good; it kept me guessing, which is always a plus. The ending played out well, though it was just a tad farfetched on that person's abilities of subterfuge. I may be splitting hairs; I read a lot of mysteries. I also found there was a lot of internal dialogue. I prefer dialogue between characters. I get bogged down in a lot of narrative, and tend to skim. Hence, the four star rating.
All in all, I enjoyed Deadly Chemistry, and will read the next one in this series. With two brothers, I can only imagine their stories will make great sequels. Hot guys, smart women? Heck, yeah! (Click on the cover image to get your Amazon copy)
