Blinded Me With Science was a cute, predictable love story between two individuals more alike than not. Yes the characters were awkward and dorky and times, but the two main characters were destined for one another. Reading this book made me remanence about my own college life as well as my other favorite college romance books. I’d highly recommend this book to those who enjoyed Abbi Gline’s Sea Breeze series.



Thankful to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for providing me an ARC.

Light enemies to lovers rom com great for a weekend or vacation. They weren't really enemies, just insecure and miscommunicating, which is cute when it comes to light. A quick and kind of uplifting read.

Steel is at Emerson’s college. In her Advanced Bio class. The high school bad boy and her crush, she’s in disbelief that he’s there, let alone that it might be because of her! A dual POV with a bit of spice. A quick read, simple and easy to digest writing. I wish Steel’s voice had been more consistent in his chapters (and that there were more of them).

Quick Summary: A bad boy for the win, NA romance

My Review: Blinded Me With Science by Tara September is part of the Lesson in Love series. It is a short novella that was originally released in 2022. A new publication date was set for November 2023. This opposites attract college romance features Emerson Powers, a bio/chem major, and Steel Nash, a reformed bad boy who plans to pursue a MBA.

About the Book: During prep school, Emerson was the perfect daughter. She was straight laced. She got good grades. She kept out of trouble. When Steel came on the scene, she noticed him. Unfortunately, he rubbed her the wrong way. Secretly, however, she had a crush on him. When one of his pranks upset the course of her life, she couldn't wait to put him behind her. Why oh why does she now have to face him while attending Thatcher College?

Question to Consider: Can two former opposing schoolmates find something special in the newness of life situation they presently find themselves in?

My Final Say: This story was cute, quick, and satisfyingly complete. Readers who like romantic college connections will adore this book.
