FMC is a PI investigating the death of a client, and MMC is a chemist dragged into helping her when he investigated *her* of the same suspicion. The mystery has some good bones to it, although we know who is the Big Bad early on. I like the MCs, she's resourceful and intelligent, while he's a bit geeky, overly practical with a dash of alpha protectiveness. And he wear glasses!
Their romance is fun, with bouts of bantering, and it's entertaining to see him fall in love in his socially inept way. I also like how she was the only one to see beyond his facade. Doses of humor kept the book light, and the ending is great, from temporary affair to HEA.
