This book was a very light-hearted rom-com, yet it dealt with some deeper topics such as dyslexia and self worth. The attraction between Hudson and Allie was there from the very beginning, but it felt like they went from attraction to love very quickly without really getting to know each other. The characters are also in their mid to late 30s, but if I didn’t know that, I would’ve thought they were in their early 20s.

Love Signals by Melanie Summers is an opposites attract romance. I really enjoyed this book! It gave me The Love Hypothesis Vibes by Ali Hazelwood! If you like Ali Hazelwood, this is just the book for you!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to netgalley and Melanie Summers for this ARC of ‘Love Signals’. I apologize for the late review, I have been extremely unwell this past few months.

Now onto my review, I’ll keep it short and sweet.
An outstanding continuation to this series. The chemistry between Allie and Hudson is to die for! Cannot wait to read more of this authors work.

This author is new to me, but I will be keeping an eye out for anything else they publish. I loved the story and the characters. The pacing of the story was great and the characters were relatable.

This is a fun and engaging read romantic comedy packed with charm, humor, and sizzling chemistry. If you enjoy opposites-attract and forced proximity tropes then this one is sure to satisfy.
The story follows Allie Cammareri, a brilliant and determined scientist who’s on a personal mission to outshine her ex, a fellow researcher who not only stole her work but also left her heartbroken. Now, twelve years later, she’s determined to finally beat him at the very project they both covet. But when her boss assigns her to mentor Hollywood heartthrob Hudson Finch, an A-list actor preparing for a movie role, Allie is less than thrilled. She’s got no time for distractions, and Hudson—a ridiculously attractive, cocky, and entirely too charming man—definitely qualifies as one.
Allie is focused, driven, and swears she doesn’t need anything—especially romance—getting in the way of her big win. However, as she’s forced to work closely with Hudson, particularly when they’re stranded in a secluded mountain cabin for the night, sparks undoubtedly fly. Their chemistry is undeniable, and Allie’s resistance begins to crack.
This book has the perfect balance of humor, heart, and heat, topped-off by witty banter, laugh-out-loud moments, and sweet emotional beats. Allie and Hudson are wonderful characters—Allie’s determination and sharp mind contrast perfectly with Hudson’s charm and unintentional knack for getting under her skin. Their journey from animosity to attraction is a joy to read, especially as Allie starts to question everything she thought she knew about herself and what she really wants.
With the perfect mix of laugh-out-loud moments, tension, and sweetness, this book is just the thing for anyone looking for a fun, escapist romance.
I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving my review.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to arc read this novel!

As a huge Ali Hazelwood lover, I knew Love Signals would be up my alley, and Melanie did not disappoint. I enjoyed the whole experience and felt the connection between our MC's.

I was able to read this because NetGalley provided with an arc. I loved this romance. Great Read. I would read more by this author.

The banter was wonderful, the storyline is a bit far fetched in my opinion. OVerall a fun read for romcom lovers.

Between the banter and the story in this book I must say this was quite a delight to read. Absolutely loved it and recommend it. If you’re a fan of Ali Hazelwood then you will definitely love this one too.

First of all, thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to review an ARC of this book. Unfortunately, due to some unforeseen circumstances I was unable to download and review this book on time. That said, I have since purchased this book and have read it, there fore would still love to complete this review.

I was so excited to read this, especially since I love Ali Hazelwood STEM books and this was on par with those.

It was unfortunate that as much as I wanted to enjoy this book, that I felt distracted while reading. It could have been that life was getting in the way, but i tried my hardest to stay on point.

I did finish after some time, and the second half of the book, I enjoyed more than the first.

I will read this again and hope to enjoy it more :)

this one is for the millennials and ali hazelwood fans! if you have a fascination with astronomy or women in stem, this truly might be the book for you!!

personally, did not love this read. a lot of the writing felt awkward and forced, which made it hard to fully enjoy the plot. however, i was totally in love with allie’s big crazy family which honestly made that dynamic fun to read, coming from a big family myself.

i did find allie to be rather insufferable… as someone who is stubborn i found her stubbornness to be a bit of an overkill. it felt unproductive and frankly sort of exhausting to read.

all in all, i’d say it was an ok book for me.

Love Signals by Melanie Summers is an absolute delight—a fresh, witty, and heartwarming romance that kept me smiling from start to finish. Summers has a knack for creating lovable characters and charming settings, and this book is no exception. The plot is fun, modern, and filled with the perfect blend of humor and heart.

The story follows two characters with undeniable chemistry as they navigate the ups and downs of love, communication, and modern relationships. Summers does a fantastic job of capturing the complexities of dating in today's world, making it incredibly relatable. The banter between the characters is sharp and fun, and the romantic tension builds in a way that keeps you invested in their journey from the first page to the last.

What really stands out about Love Signals is the way Summers balances humor with emotional depth, creating a feel-good romance that also tugs at your heartstrings. The side characters add even more warmth and humor to the story, making this book a true ensemble of delightful personalities.

Overall, Love Signals is a perfect read for anyone who loves a smart, funny, and heartwarming romance. Melanie Summers has once again delivered a story that’s impossible to put down!

A big thank you to Melanie Summers, NetGalley, and Indigo Group for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

How can synonyms are there for the word “love?” because I’m going to need each one to describe what I feel for this book.

I found it an easy read and did enjoy the banter. There were some funny moments but I found I didn't reach for my Kindle as much as I wanted to.

Love Signals is a slow burn romance that takes you away. Even I fell hard for Husdon Finch, who really just wants to be seen for being him. Alli wants to be at odds with him, but sees more to him that what the camera ever shows. Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!

Allie is lovable, flawed, and completely believable. There is plenty of humor in this one (I love the whole concept of looking like you smell bad—I’ve experienced it) and a sweet romance that will warm your heart. Plus, I love learning so much more about SETI and the search for what else is out there in the universe. Highly recommended for a feel-good, funny, and satisfying read.

Thanks Net galley for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review

Love signals is a book that falls right in the middle and i give it a 3 star rating, it was comforting and familiar, not a showstopper with unexpected twists or turns
The story though predictable unfolds in a beautiful way, the chemistry was undeniable, the characters full of emotions and most of all fun dialogues from the big family ( i definitely still don't understand her father's chili logic but it made me laugh)

It does also emphasize on important subjects such as dyselxia, parenting, appreciation of one's own efforts and most of all, how love and support from your loved ones can make or break you.

What i didn't enjoy though was the 2 page reel explanation from the Fan, they could definitely be skipped

Otherwise, It provides a pleasant reading experience, perfect for unwinding after a long day
if you're looking for a feel good, easy read then this might just be the book for you.

I started reading this book right at the heels of the previous one since I enjoyed meeting the supporting cast around the previous two central figures.

Allie Cammareri is trying to create a program that will help her parse through different signals and figure out the ones that will actually help figure out information about extraterrestrial life. It is at this point that she gets saddled with an actor who is not someone who usually does serious roles that require a shadowing of this magnitude. The latter also harbours a secret, and the actions he takes to hide it come back to bite him at the wrong time in his possible happily ever after.

This book also has family dramas like the first, but they are of a different sort. We also spend a lot of time with both sets of families in one way or another. The random conversation changes tended to be fun.

I liked the author’s writing style, as well as the people we encounter in the tale. There is a certain variety and it is easy to distinguish between the different characters. The only flaw might be that both the female leads are a little too similar, unlike the rest of the people.

I would recommend this book as part of the series to fans of the romance genre.
I received the book as an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience.

Dr. Allie Cammareri is brilliant in her career but not when it comes to susing out lying, cheating men. When she is not only passed over again to present her work at world SETI conference, she also is informed she has to babysit actor Hudson Finch to prepare for a role as the founder of her Research Institute. She has vowed to keep lying men out of reach so she can final complete a industry changing project all on her own. She did not expect to fall in love.

This one is a hard one and I almost didn’t finish it. As a woman in STEM, I love lady scientists, but not this one. She just seemed so….late teens/early 20s for a mid-30 year old and she’s very quick to make snap judgements about people before she even interacts with them. Hudson is honestly carrying this whole book and the main reason I kept reading it. Almost every character felt more fleshed out than Allie did, which was disappointing. It’s not bad, but it’s not amazing
Random Notes from my read
* Allie is kind of judgmental. Like, extremely judgmental. And because why? One crap ex bf?
* Allie is supposed to be in her 30s and her inner voice sounds maybe 16. I can’t quote the book, since this is an ARC, but she’s constantly saying things like “suck it”
* She is so caught up in the supposed lie that he told, when she lies every other sentence to him. He didn’t even tell the lie he just didn’t correct the person interviewing him.
* I like Hudson, a lot, but Allie just seems like….not a real person? Like the author is trying to make her a boy crazed teen when she’s a PhD and brilliant (supposedly). She’s falling for him “hard”, but nothing has really happened in the book yet. Wait, how am I at 52% and literally nothing has happened?
* How is she in love already?? Nothing has happened
Many thanks to Netgalley for providing me with the DRC and allowing me to provide my honest review
