A review by wanderingbear
The Lab Wars by Kyra Fox, Kyra Fox
5.0
I received this book as an ARC via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a personal, honest review.
What can I say, other than Kyra Fox has done it again!
It’s not quite an enemies-to-lovers, because neither character has met each other previously, but they definitely don’t start off their relationship on the winning foot. Prior to their meeting, they both highly respected each other's research and had read every scientific paper the other had written.
But when Doctor Mia Bissonnette’s big dream of heading the new scientific research hub at Oxford University – a position she spent a decade working towards and fully expected to get the role after all the campaigning she had done to get the new research hub in the first place – is given to Doctor Jenkins from M.I.T., she is livid. The only reason he was given the position was because of his last name, and therefore would be able to bring more money into the University. Determined to get the position back from him, she decides to make his life as difficult as possible so he would quit.
Wyatt Jenkins only took the position because it was going to give him the chance to work alongside Mia – a scientist he followed and admired. And to try and get away from being known as his father’s son, something he’s always hated being known as instead of the scientist he actually was himself. So, he hopped on a plane and crossed the ocean to begin a new journey, only to come head-to-head with Doctor Bissonnette and her dislike of him. Finding out from another researcher why she dislikes him so, pisses him off. He was really looking forward to, and hoping to work with her as an equal, and not her boss.
The verbal sparring that occurs between the two is very well-written and the chemistry between them is. Off. The. Charts. Without giving too much more away, the tension between them turns explosive when they get behind closed doors, and my, my, my, Wyatt in the bedroom is just, WOWZER! Hot, hot, hot, with a generous side of spanking, and let me just say that the insults in French between the two takes it to a whole other level again. Ooh-la-la!
This is the first in Kyra’s ‘Terms of Seduction’ series and it’s absolutely brilliant. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves a bit of angst, a bit of heartbreak, a bucket-ton of smexy smexy, and a happy ever after.
I award this book five super-hot stars!
