Summary: Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is lost. Sure, she’s got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practicing what she’s preached. Fizzy hasn’t ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she’s spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie? Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work in large part because it allows him to live near his daughter. But when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass—unless he agrees to her list of demands. When he says yes, and production on The True Love Experiment begins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him, too. ~amazon.com
Review: While we get to know Fizzy in The Soulmate Equation as Jess' best friend, she truly shines in The True Love Experiment. Also, you don't have to read the aforementioned to read this one. Fizzy is a romance writer of a lot of notoriety but she's hit a wall; in her writing and her dating scene. She's stuck and it's driving her nuts. Enter Connor Prince III, he's also stuck but very differently; he's got to stop producing documentaries and save the company that employs him by doing a dating show. He's not sure how he's going to do it or even what he's going to do it about, until he and Fizzy cross paths. The rest they say is history but of course it's not going to be an easy road.
I love how Fizzy tests Connor's limits immediately by giving him her list of expectations and ideas for the show. I'm not sure she was expecting him to like them and to agree to him. I think that's what initially attracts her to him; he doesn't back down from her. I loved the banter but as they spend more time together a full connection occurs for both of them which could have disastrous effects for both of them.
If you are not into spice and steam, then this book is not for you because it is how Fizzy and Connor connect but it's not the only way. I also loved the twist at the end which was well done. You will fall for Fizzy & Connor just like I did.
