I love how this novel brilliantly blends romance with the intriguing world of scientific research, creating a narrative that is both enlightening and immensely enjoyable. he lead characters in this story, with their passion for science and complex personal lives, are not only believable but also deeply engaging. Their journey together, filled with intellectual debates, personal discoveries, and romantic tension, was portrayed with a perfect balance of depth and levity. The author's clever use of scientific themes to drive the story's romance was particularly impressive. It added a layer of originality and intelligence that is not often found in typical romance novels. The dialogue, rich with witty banter and scientific references, kept me entertained and educated in equal measure. Definitely for readers who enjoy Ali H. who wrote the "Love Hypothesis".

Blinded Me With Science (Lesson In Love #2) was a great read by Tara September.Emerson Powers has focused on obtaining her science degree even if that means she neglected everything else. She is starting her junior year and is determined to broaden her horizons socially. She decides to teach the rock star's son to be goo, even when he shows her how to be bad. Stell isn't the same person that Emerson knew from prep school and he wants to prove it to her. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

5 Stars – Blinded Me with Science by Tara September is a quick, easy read. Really, it ended too soon! So, we have our FMC Emerson, a junior at Thatcher College, who is a science major and a brainy/focused student to her own detriment. She realizes that she has missed out on a few essential college experiences (in her mind) and creates a brief list of things to do in her current year. Emerson went to high school with Steel, our MMC, and he has just transferred into Thatcher. He was always the prankster bad boy in high school, so she just wants to stay away from him. Steel has been very interested in Emerson since high school and even transferred into Thatcher to see Emerson. They get paired up for a biology assignment and then their chemistry takes over. They are an adorable couple once they work through a few issues. Their banter is spot on and fun to read. Such a fun college romance, with enemies of lovers and opposites attract.
A big Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first book that I have read from Tara September and I loved it!! It was a super fast read and it was super easy to follow. I loved the main character Em and how the romance between her and Steel was not a long slow burn. I also liked how they both voiced their feelings and the romance was not long and drawn out. The characters were well developed along with the setting of the school. There is not one thing that I would change about this book. I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator was really good. Thanks for a great book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

While this book was good, I didn't connect with it as strongly as I did On The Rebound, the book after this one (yes, I read out of order.) Emerson is a good h and Steel (our H) has really turned his life around to be the type of person that would deserve someone like Emerson. I think my biggest concern is the epilogue. I wish we had been given a glimpse further in the future, not less than a year. I want to know that my YA couples make it for the long run, not just while they are still in school. For what I like best about books by Tara September is I really do laugh out loud several times reading her books, that is always a strong plus for me. This book is a strong 4 stars. Thank you Tara September and NetGalley for a review copy.

This novella was so so cute! It was short, which I loved, but I caught myself wanting it to be a full novel, these characters were so good for each other 🤍 And both were so relatable, I especially related to Emerson, her thoughts on being a good girl and how hard it could be really resonated with me (which I think is a hard thing to do in a novella) and her bucket list was so real! 📚 I also really liked that it was science related (it was the reason I asked the ARC in the first place, I will always be a STEM girlie 🔬) and I was really happy that it was a center piece in the story 🤍 In such a short lengths of pages, the author made me want to read the all novellas of the series, her writing is so sooth, and her characters so real and funny 🤍

This book was okay. The characters are sweet, but there’s not much characterization to really get attached to the characters. It is a very fast read though.

This an a book that at beginning this got my attention
Gave it 3 stars for me its still a good rating
Probably one i wont reread but still a good read

This was a super quick, fun read! Emerson is a bit of a goody-two-shoes, but it’s time to take some risks. She makes a list that includes having fun at college…. She’s paired in a science lab with Steel, who she knows from her childhood. He hurt her with his pranks, though, and Emerson wonders if he can be trusted.

Sweet and spicy!

What a sweet rom-com read that seamlessly blends, romance, second chances and spicy beginnings set in the vibrant world of academia. Emerson is very focused on her studies in science. Steel, is the son of a famous band frontman, and crushed on Emerson back in high school. He later transfers into her college just for the second chance with her. Emerson and Steel are fire!
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think this was a cute and short novella. It was quick, but there was enough of a plot there that it made some sort of sense. I feel that novellas can sometimes move too quickly and not have all parts of the plot represented. This is something that I would recommend to someone who wanted something cute and quick to read.

While this story was a quick read, the author still did an amazing job of setting the back story as well as developing the main characters. Two thumbs up for this incredible slow burn. I would recommend it hands down.

I adored this book by Tara September. I liked the chemistry between the characters and how the story developed. I found this book by Tara September very entertaining and would like to explore more books by this author. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

This was a cute, quick read. It didn't blow me away, but it was fast-paced and had plenty of steam with a trope I always enjoy ("Sex lessons").

I sadly wasn’t a huge fan of this but I think it’s because I’m slowly getting into a book slump. I will be rereading this and eventually editing my review!m for when I’m able to give this book my full attention!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Blinded Me With Science by Tara September. This college, second-chance, Good Girl/(former)Bad Boy romance ticked lots of boxes for me with a not-so-opposites-attract HEA. Emerson and Steely (Steel) seem like the classic good girl/bad boy trope, but as you read, you learn the depths of each character and who they are now vs. when they knew each other in prep school. Emerson creates a list of new experiences she wants to have in college and Steel is ready and eager to help her achieve her goals in the science lab and out.

Tara September’s books are new to me and Blinded Me With Science has me eager for more. And fortunately there are more books in her A Lesson in Love series of college romances. I highly recommend this book, especially if you enjoy new adult romance novels with a dash of science, family drama, open-hearted characters, and steam!

thank you netgalley and plus it up team for the arc in exchange of an honest review.

emerson and steel know each other since prep school but they aren’t friends, she does everything to avoid him but that can’t happen anymore since they’re partners in biology class. steel finds out about emerson’s little list of things she wants to do to make college a better experience in her life and he wants to help her since she — even without knowing — saved his life after school. and after two years he still looks up to her so of course he will help her and maybe she will fell for him as well.

as a reader i know that it’s hard to work with novellas since you have few pages to immerse with a story and i’m afraid the author didn’t know how to work with it because it was a pretty shallow plot. the beginning is kinda fun but the middle and ending are just vague, you start wondering about “where’s the rest?”, the idea was a good one but poorly written and developed.

blinded me with science is a good novella to read in one sitting if you don’t really want to think about what’s going on.

This is a cute, fun, quick read romance centering around Emerson and Steel. She is a science geek, and he is the son of a famous rock star. Em remembers him from high school as the popular kid always causing trouble, while Steel remembers her as the one he could never stop thinking of. When the two are paired up for a science class, the chemistry is instantaneous.
Loved the characters and the cute banter between them.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is the perfect book for those looking for a quick read that is lighthearted but packed full of emotion.

I was a bit skeptical going into this one. I really liked the synopsis, but sometimes novellas are a miss rather than a hit for me. Luckily, this one panned out. It’s short, but you really get to know Emerson and Steel in the short amount of time we have.

Emerson was smart, but not so brainy it was off putting. She was ready to breakaway from her goody two shoes self, and what better way than with the crazy boy from high school.

Steel was just a sweetheart. The way he took care of Emerson when she wanted to go to clubs or parties, and the way he expressed his love for her. I really liked him and wish all guys could be like him.

It was over too soon, but there are many other books in this series. I can’t wait to see what this author comes up with next.
