I don’t remember if I saw Alex and Theo coming together as a couple or if this was a surprise to me, but I do like them together. There was potential for comparison between Elijah and Alex by Theo as well as a lack of communication but thankfully neither happened. I think this could be read as a standalone but you’d miss the history so I personally would not like reading this without the other two first.
I looked back at my review of Rocket Science and saw I wasn’t all that interested in Alex, but I quite enjoyed this story. Alex and Theo sharing entertaining banter and have off the charts chemistry that becomes hard to hide.
I really enjoyed the friends-to-lovers aspect of this story and Theo giving Alex so many experiences he missed out on as he grew up too quickly. When they decide to start a physical relationship, the feelings are already there…which makes the relationship work better in the long run.
I appreciate the low angst. Alex finds his strength in Theo and Theo FINALLY faces his feelings for Elijah.
There is talk of Holden and Jordy in the next one maybe? I guess we’ll wait and see!

2.5? I’m not sure how to rate this book but I did find Alex and Theo to be pretty cute together. It wasn’t as good as Rocket Science, but it was pretty fun all the same. I was a bit frustrated by the usual stupid dancing-around-each-other, and some things were glossed over when I wanted more detail (such as the stuff with Alex’s parents), but it was okay overall.

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

This series is amazing.
More nerds. More steam. More HEA.
What more could you want from this series? The answer: NOTHING.
Once again KM Neuhold delivers an overtly sweet romance between a literal genius and a man who loves hard.
The moments where Theo gives Alex bit of his kissing childhood had me swooning over and over again. Toss in blatant flirting, unauthorized toy use, and a bit of seriously steamy fun. 5/5 stars.

Best in the series!!!! I kind of wish I remembered more about book 1...but this book completely blew me away. It was perfect in all the rights ways. From raunchy humor to raunchy sex with dragon dildos to sweet meaningful moments of growth and happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤

Ridiculously hot and also still really sweet and uplifting.
This is Pax's brother Theo's story and it was interesting to see the progression from him realising he wasn't actually in love with Elijah to being totally aware of his feelings for actual genius Alex.
I loved Alex, he's never had the chance to be a normal child or experience anything fun just for the sake of it.
He's a literal genius, at college studying for a PhD even though he's not yet 20, and he's following a path he isn't really sure he wants.
Sex is his distraction tool, and he uses his nerdy persona to the max to get some semblance of normality.
That is, until Theo starts to offer him not only his friendship, but also insights into what it would be like to live a 'normal' life doing something he truly loves.
This book has one of the most intense sex scenes I've read, which I won't spoil, but it was perfectly written to skilfully skirt the line between the insane hotness and the element of potentially stepping over a line (don't worry it's not a taboo or extreme kink.
I loved it!
