Give Me Butterflies

A Novel

By: Jillian Meadows

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Victoria Connolly

"THE OPPOSITES ATTRACT LOVE STORY OF MY DREAMS." —B. K. Borison, #1 New York Times bestselling author "FANS OF ALI HAZELWOOD WILL CHEER." —Grace Reilly, USA Today bestselling author

A swoony, steamy, STEM romance in which two curators at a science museum—a handsome but grumpy astronomer and an anxious but sunshine-y entomologist—realize they are the perfect match. Now with exclusive bonus content!

Millie has never taken the expected path. Her childhood love for bugs and science led her to entomology, and her role as a curator, inspiring museum visitors every day. It’s her dream to run her own department—so when a rare director position opens, she is determined nothing will distract her from her goal. Especially not Finn, her grumpy coworker with his permanent scowl, electric blue eyes, and endless supply of astronomy ties.

. . . Not that she’s spent time noticing any of those things.

Finn doesn’t mean to glare at everyone, but he’s juggling his role at the museum, navigating the grief of losing his sister, attempting to make his nieces smile, and trying not to ruin dinner for the fifth night in a row. He can’t afford to let anything slip, and certainly doesn’t need more to deal with—especially not Millie literally stumbling into him, with her bright smile and sunny optimism.

He bugs her. She’s too starry-eyed for him. They want nothing to do with each other. But with Finn on the interview committee, avoidance is impossible. And Millie soon realizes it’s one thing when a job is on the line. It’s quite another when it’s her heart.

Give Me Butterflies is a sweet and sexy STEM romance, featuring:

• Grumpy x Sunshine
• Heroine in STEM
• Slow burn
• Open door spice
• Found family
• Nerdy banter

Heartfelt Performances. Loved this STEM romance!

Swoon! I loved reading Give Me Butterflies by Jillian Meadows, but I knew I had to listen to the audio when I learned that Victoria Connolly and Jason Clarke were narrating it. Performed in dual narration, Victoria and Jason fully embodied all things Millie and Finn. Victoria’s soft melodic voice and subtle nuances captured Milie’s passion for her job, vulnerabilities from a past relationship, and her newfound love for Finn. Jason’s low, growly timbre was just the right match for Finn, encompassing his broody, grumpy exterior and warm charismatic cinnamon roll interior perfectly. Plus both narrators created a simmering slow-burn chemistry between these two that was simply magnetic. I also adore Victoria and Jason’s kid voices!

Overall, I LOVED this book. If you are a fan of a STEM romance with a hot nerdy astronomer, a hardworking entomologist, new job promotions, coffee mishaps, fender benders, almond croissants, spiteful exes, adorable twin girls, pizza night, games with friends, baking dates, star gazing, family group texts, slow burn spicy times, second interviews, love declarations, and a HEA that was written in the stars, then you will love Millie and Finn’s story. I am looking forward to more from Jillian Meadows.

Sweet and spicy

Loved the characters Millie and Finn. They had chemistry and tension. From enemies to lovers. Where he falls first. I really enjoyed it!

Super Cute

4.5 Stars ⭐️ Millie and Finn have an interesting start, but once Finn fell for Millie he was steady. I love that Finn utilized therapy, and Millie was herself despite her ex-boyfriend. Finn’s twin nieces that he is a guardian for are very cute. The character development was well done. The romance is cute and swoony.

My heart

I feel like this book was actually written for me. It has every single thing I loved. Grumpy sunshine. Bugs. Space. Baking. I’m actually obsessed and this is my new favorite book. Narrators were amazing!

Sweet romance

Great story. The narrators were good but really wish they did the true dual narrative. This book was absolutely adorable and secretly spicy.
