Love by the Numbers

By: Karin Kallmaker

Narrated by: Abby Craden

As a behavioral scientist, Professor Nicole Hathaway's work strips away the foolish mystique that surrounds the human mating dance. When her academic tome is treated as a viral "love manual", her ecstatic publisher books her to appear all over the US and Europe. Worse yet, her quiet, managed life has been shattered by a series of incompetent assistants. And she's certain this Lily Smith creature isn't going to be any less a burden than the last assistant they sent her. Or the one before that. Or before that....

Lillian Linden-Smith needs this job. With a relentless TV lawyer and public mob still out for her blood for crimes committed by her "American royalty" parents, getting out of the country is her only hope for anonymity. If that means cleaning up and presenting an antisocial know-it-all PhD for bookstores, clubs, and lectures, fine. Dr. Hathaway may have succeeded in driving away all the others, but not this time.

From their first meeting the sparks fly, and each is thinking: She has no idea who she's dealing with.

Freaking adorable

Loved this story, and, as usual, Abby Craden's narration! I wish the story had been longer, would have loved to see more between these two woman unfold, but i still loved the story.

Sweet

I really enjoyed this book. It was a wonderful slow burn. Both of the main characters were talented in their own ways.

Loved it!

This story was so interesting. As the characters travel around and interact with each other the author adds in-depth details to support the main characters knowledge. I enjoyed learning about this along with the characters. It’s a book I listened to multiple times. I just wanted an epilogue!

How the author and the narrator transport me to each location

How the author and the narrator transport me to each location. There's an enticing hint of mischief woven into it.

wonderful story

The story goes from grumpy by the book prof/writer to a wonderful love story. I really enjoyed the ride. It was fun, the road trip was entertaining. I would love to see it continue with the sister/kate meeting someone and falling,
