An easy, light hearted read where you feel quite close to the characters. I got to the point where I was actually rooting for them and willing them to get together, and feeling almost worried for them when something bad happened. A quick read with a nice splash of romance and some good drama too!

This is a cute book. It didn’t blow me away but I enjoyed it overall. I found some of the writing repetitive and it felt a bit slow at times. But Stacy and Reese were a sweet couple.

Off The Charts Chemistry by Christine Miles
4/5 Stars
Release Date: September 26th
Thank you to Christine Miles for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest review

I’m a sucker for rom coms, and one of my favorite set-ups is Opposites Attract. Reading this description for this book, it felt like a fun take on the classic theme.

Stacey is a high school chemistry teacher, and isn’t looking for love. She’s had terrible luck in the past, and is content as she is. Reece is the high school’s new football coach, and when a few of his student’s grades drop, he and Stacey finally meet. The attraction is there, but, on paper, they have nothing is common. After all, he’s the football coach and Stacey hates football. These two decide to start getting to know each other and see if the chemistry is real, despite their differences.

This is a sweet book, and I enjoyed reading it. Stacey and Reece were kind and thoughtful characters, and I greatly appreciated that the conflict didn’t involve the two main characters. Rather than tearing them apart, it brought them together and made them stronger. It was a pleasant change from the standard rom com themes!

This book was very entertaining. It was great to read about a woman in STEM! It nicely balanced the point of views of the two main characters. I didn’t want to put it down.

I found the plot and characters to be quite engaging and well-crafted. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

I just finished Off-the-Charts Chemistry by Christine Miles and here is my review.

Stacey Kinsella loves teaching high school chemistry. It’s a real shame it’s missing from her real life. That is until the sexy football coach walks in on her with her shirt off and the sparks start to fly.

Reece doesn’t need any distractions from his new position as coach of the high school football team but even he can’t deny the attraction so instant, it could melt nickel.

As the two teachers spend more and more time together, they can’t keep their hands off each other but something is brewing with the 2 assistant coaches that could spell the end of Reece’s career before it even really started.
YIKES this book was too dang cute! I discovered I have a real love for STEM in my romance books and this one was fantastic! It was like a warm cozy hug in a beautiful cover. A super fun easy read.
I don’t normally enjoy books set in high school but I loved how it was written so it really did work and the small town vibes were an A++ for me. Stacey is so sweet and I usually don’t like books where I share my name with a character but I didn’t mind it this time. Reece is wonderful and I loved watching them fall in love. I am such a hopeless romantic.
I am so pumped that this is going to be a series and I cannot wait to see what is next! This book was absolutely a winner for me, especially published by an indie publishing house!


4.5 stars!

This was a light and sweet romance about a football coach and chemistry teacher. There isn’t anything too heavy the characters are dealing with, so you don’t have to worry about the emotional roller coaster many other romances send you through. A cute and enjoyable read.

A fun read, the story of Stacey and Reece, chemistry teacher and football coach. I loved both main characters and how it is told from both points of view. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

This is a believable story about a high school chemistry teacher and the new football coach. I loved how Stacey and Reece’s relationship came together. Reading this story was just heartwarming and I can’t wait to read the next story in this series.

This was a first time read for me from Christine Miles and I can't wait to read more of her books. This was a super cute romance book. I felt like this was a quick read. The characters were well written and I like the slow yet fast burn to their relationship. I can't wait to see what is to come in the next book in this series. I would recommend this book if you want a cute romance read.

Really cute rom-com. Small and easy read!

I liked that both characters showed maturity, work through their issues. Small town romance are not always my favorite because everybody knows their business but this one was actually really cool. Fast paced and a bit quirky, Stacey take on chemistry is amazing, I would have love have a teacher like her.

I really wanted to love this book because I love books that highlight women in science and who doesn’t love a good rom-com? The story characters and settings were nice, but the hardest thing for me was getting past the writing. Unfortunately, the writing style and the overuse of the same catchy wording or phrasing on topic matters made it really difficult for me to enjoy reading the book. The conversations did not flow organically, and a lot of the structure of the writing felt very disjointed- as if there were multiple thought bubbles during a first draft, but those ideas never were edited, or changed to create a seamless flow. To me, it felt very c- list made for TV level quality vs what I would hope to expect for a published novel.

DNF.
The writing style just wasn’t for me, but I think the story idea was cute. I just couldn’t get into it as much as I wanted. Could be a great read for someone else, just wasn’t my cup of tea.

This rom-com was a cute back to school read for me! The story centers around straight laced chemistry teacher Stacey and new football coach Reece who’s filling some BIG shoes. A light spice and minimal conflict read was perfect for ending September.

I gave this book 3 stars because although the characters were believable, it seemed their problems were too easy to overcome. Reece was dealing with a nasty ex-wife who all of sudden changed her tune? Stacey kept to herself, then this golden retriever of a coach comes in and makes her question everything. I really liked the concept but I don’t think I was the target audience for this book. Both MCs were older than me and I had a hard time relating to them.

The spice was very minimal but appropriate for the plot. Because this is the first in a series, I'm not sure I'd continue only because of my lack of connection to the characters.

Thank you to Sealed with a Swoon Publishing, Christine Miles, and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

What happens when a sports coach falls for an anti sport chemistry teacher? You get a cute sweet romance. She's given up on romance and is focusing on her career. He's been burned by romance and doesn't want another one. But when you have a few meddling friends romance will occur.



********************I received an ARC for my honest opinion from NetGalley.***********************

This book was a fun read but I wasn't in love with it. The characters were fun and had a lot of chemistry but it had too much football in it for me. I typically like sports romance but I had trouble caring about all the football action going on. That might just be me though. Other than that this was a fun book and if you like football you will like it!

Thanks to the author, the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Being a chemistry nerd, I loved the title and premise as soon as I saw it!
But though each character faced some specific and realistic struggles, I really didn’t connect with either characters or struggles. But maybe that’s on me, as I’m not a teacher!
Despite the pink (and rather innocent looking) cover, this book had some spice, and kinda made me nostalgic for the Wattpad fanfictions I used to read as a teen 😅

I’m definitely glad I read this book, even though my expectations were different than what the book offered. Thank you once again for this chance :)

3.5/5 🌟

She's a chemistry teacher, he's the football coach. Sparks fly between Stacey and Reece in this Hallmark movie-esque romance! If you love banter and smoldering mmc, this book is for you!! I can't wait to read more of this series. I love a good science romance

Synopsis:

Reece is the small town's new high school football coach looking to improve his athlete's losing streak to a winning streak. The only issue is that the team hasn't been appropriately guided and trained. He struggles to get the other coach's support as they disapprove of him. Reece meets Stacey the chemistry teacher indisposed in her classroom. He's there to talk about his top player's bad grades. It's not what you are thinking... no students were in her classroom. lol There's a chemical reaction between the two of them but is it a good reaction or a bad one?

My Thoughts:

I adored Stacey's connection with her three fellow teacher friends. She supports them and they support her no matter what. I liked that her passion for chemistry didn't stop in the classroom as she liked to mix things up in relation to the scent she wore or the beverages she consumed. I loved that Reece is a gentleman and truly shows he's a good man. He knows what he wants but is not quick to act on it. He embodies all the things a woman would want in a man. He's athletic, a handyman, smart, creative, attentive, and inspirational. Reece truly cares for his athletes and gives his all to make them a success. That's what I love the most about him besides the intimate scenes. The book is a slow burn but still embodies mild spice.
