Scent of Love: Book 4 in the Love Senses: A Neurodiverse Romance Collection

by Jenny Rabe

She built a life by following her nose—until it failed her when she needed it most.

Crystal’s nose has never let her down. As a professional “sniffer,” she’s turned her heightened sense of smell into a quirky, satisfying career—sampling salad dressings, taste-testing chocolate, and yes, even smelling underarms for a living. What she can’t seem to sniff out? A lasting relationship.

Until him.

Ranger is everything she didn’t know she was searching for—until the scent of his past complicates their future.
When a global pandemic robs her of her sense of smell, Crystal’s world tilts. With her job at risk, her identity unraveling, and her relationships fading, she must face what’s left when the thing she’s always trusted—her nose—no longer leads the way.

Crystal, a woman on top of her world, has her life turned upside-down in the best and worst possible ways. She meets Ranger and goes through several ups and downs with him. This story takes place during a global pandemic that occurred during my lifetime. While it provoked memories of my own while reading it, I still had to find out if they would or wouldn't end up together. This book is 100% worth reading. It makes you think about what's going to happen next. It makes you feel for the characters. It also makes you remember and brings your own story during this time frame alongside theirs.

This was cute. It's a bit of a trauma bond romance, but it's cute. The emotional and mental health toll that covid takes was super relatable. I also lost my sense of smell and taste and my mental health tanked while waiting for it to come back. I also had a bit of a hyper sense of smell and I'm still sad it's not fully back. I can understand why the main female character was going a bit bonkers.
Overall, it was cute and I enjoyed it.

I absolutely loved the book especially with that curveball in the end. Poor Ranger, he really knows how to pick them.
