Description
Mia has had her whole life mapped out since she was 18. She’s supposed to follow up her math PhD with a research position and become a professor, but her 20-year plan takes a surprise deviation when she’s forced to settle for a temporary teaching job at a small-town university in the middle of nowhere.
It’s not easy adapting to rural life when you’re a city girl, but Mia tries to make the best of it. Things finally start to look up after a run-in with some terrifying local wildlife sends her careering into the arms of a sexy local farmer.
Mia finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Josh’s gruff charms, especially after she learns what lies behind the thick walls he’s built around his heart. But while their connection grows, Mia can’t afford to stay. Not unless she’s willing to give up on her dream - or trade it in for a new one.
A STEM rom-com, book six in the Chemistry Lessons series, originally published as Elementary Romantic Calculus. Each book in the series features a brand new couple with their own HEA and can be read in any order.

I adored Mia and Josh together, the small-town setting, and the writing style. I loved this so much that I grabbed Josh’s sister’s book before I even wrote this review.
Mia has a PhD in mathematics (she works on knot theory 🤭 which, tragically, has nothing to do with werewolves 🤔) and a solid career plan. A teaching job at a small Texas university is supposed to be temporary, until she realizes that her new friends, the job, and, most of all, goat farmer Josh, feel suspiciously right.
Mia and Josh were so sweet together! This book was not spicy (mostly ftb), but their chemistry was off the charts. I almost squealed when he casually touched her hand 🥰. There was a lot of domestic fluff, which I always adore, and very wholesome family dynamics.
What didn’t work for me was the third-act breakup, even though I saw it coming. Still, I hated it because I always hate third-act drama. They had a great thing going, and she dumped him! 🤬 Pfff. Nothing says “you’re the love of my life” like “I don’t think we should see each other again” 🙄. But oh well, it is what it is.
All in all: 4.5 stars, still not sure if I should round it up or down.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
