The Physicist

Sexy Scientists #3

by Ramona Gray

Alina
I’m a cliché. I’m in love with my brother’s best friend.

But it doesn’t stop me from pining after Nicholas Campbell like a love-struck kitten. Can you blame me though? He’s deliciously sexy, a brilliant physicist, and the kindest man I know.

Which makes him the perfect person to help me lose my v-card.

Only he’s never looked at me as anything other than my brother’s kid sister. He’s off-limits… or is he?

When he needs a place to stay for a few weeks, I come to the rescue. And it’s the perfect opportunity to show him that I’m all grown up.

Nick
I can’t have Alina. Not only is she my best friend’s sister, but she’s sweet and innocent and I’m… not.

But physics has taught me that opposites attract, and now that we’re roommates, our attraction grows stronger. To her, my past doesn’t matter.

And even though my ability to resist her magnetism weakens each day, there is no happily ever after for us.

Can we find our happiness, or are we on a collision course to heartbreak?

I love Nick and Alina's story. I love to see how Nick was able to help her overcome her fear and how he stood up for her. This series is a good one and I enjoyed them all but I have to admit that I was rooting for this couple and I really love Nick.
Another great read Ramona still looking forward to Gabe's story.
I received an ARC in exchange for a review.

A forced proximity brings Alina and Nick’s carefully kept distance to an end. Is this the push they need to finally admit they have feelings for each other?
Alina and Nick’s relationship has been hinted at in the previous two books. Be prepared for a deeply emotional, heartwarming and steamy read!

“It’s a very nice dick, and I’m positive you and he will be excellent friends,”

The Sexy Scientist Series are a collection of standalone stories that are short, steamy and ends in HEA!
Each book leaves you satisfied and hungry for more. Which will make you read all the books that the author has ever written!

“Your friendship is one of the most important relationships of my life, and I don’t want to lose it. But if loving Alina means losing you, then I choose her because a life without Alina isn’t a life at all.”

Alina and Nick are one of cutest couple I’ve read about. I love how Alina has overcome her fear and Nick has been there for her and stood by her side.
I love that we got to see a little bit of the other couples and can’t for The Geologist!💖💖

This is the 3rd book in the Sexy Scientist series by Ramona Gray and so far my favorite. It's sweet without being cheesy and very steamy and sexy. And though all of these books are standalone if you read them in order you would have met both Alina and Nick. Alina and Nick have both been in love with each other for years but both think their love isn't reciprocated. Once they start living together it's only a matter of time before their chemistry is too much to handle. Nick offers to help Alina with losing her virginity so that it happens with someone she trusts instead of someone who she just swiped right on. Nick is one of the sweetest heroes and helps Alina overcome some of her fears. Alina is smart and determined and makes an amazing counterpart to Nick. Can't wait to read the next book in this series but for now I think I'll reread this one.

Really enjoyable read

So first up my JAM is brother’s best friend/best friend’s brother so I’m super particular about this genre. That being said this book was chef kiss. I have a tendency to read the end of a book if the beginning is slow and I want to know if the time will be worth it. With this book I did not do that the story flowed nicely. You don’t have to read the other books to understand this one HOWEVER they r really enjoyable as well so why not?! Looking forward to Bryce’s story. If you need a bit more incentive Nick I’d like that David (I forget his last name) guy that Leonard idolized in the Big Bang Theory Saturnalia Miracle episode ;)

The story of Alaina and Nick I would describe as a giant comforting hug. It was everything I expected a bit more. If you’re looking for a sweet and gentle love story this is the one for you. Nick was exactly who Alaina needed to help her reach her full independence. I loved how her physical attributes were taken into consideration during the love scenes and addressed in a very humanizing way. Ramona always has the gift of making her characters relatable and providing us with a quick and strong connection to them.

Nicholas Campbell is friends with Alina's older brother first and foremost. Keeping his hands off Alina is a must if he wants to keep his friendship with her brother. When mold is found at his home he needs place to stay and is talked into staying with Alina by her brother to help her out with expenses. The sparks fly with these two in the same house. I loved this book. The characters are wonderful and worked well together. The story is original and I could put it down. This is a must read.

Oh how I love Ramona! She has a way of tying in humor in unexpected ways.

This sexy scientist series is wonderful. This is my favorite yet. Nick and Alina are so full of emotion. I simply love a brothers best friend story and this one is fantastic.

I love a quick read story and this series is fantastic.

I received an ARC of this book and am leaving an honest review.

This was another sweet, funny, steamy Ramona Gray read. She draws on some of my favorite tropes: brother’s best friend/best friend’s little sister and forced proximity. Alina and Nick’s story is a delicious continuation of the series! Cannot wait for book four.

[Secret Romance Junkie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nick is amazing. He is so compassionate and caring, I completely fell for him. He is everything that Alina needs and deserves. Her life has already been filled with so many challenges and she is so independent and strong that right from the beginning I was cheering for her to get her happily ever after. This series is seriously incredible. Definitely a must read.

[Jill Macdonald · Rating 5 out of 5]

I read this in an hour and it’s fantastic. I love Alina and Nick together and them wanting each other for years is very sweet. This series just keeps getting better and better. Cannot wait for the next one especially after the teaser at the end!

Lonely and sexy

Perfect story for the 'I'm in love with my brothers best friend' trope. The only down side was that it wasn't longer.

This story is amazing. I loved reading about Alina and Nick's relationship. Who knew physicist could be so hot?

[Tarra Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so excited for Alina’s book. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Nick and Alina. I love this series!! I can’t wait for Bryce’s book!!

Loved this adorable, sweet read! Great fast, loveable story!

What a fun little short! We were introduced to Alina in The Biologist and The Chemist, so we already know a bit of her backstory. You've just got to love her and her forward thinking, she's so certain of herself (in some areas). Her and Nick are fab together. There is a little hiccup, but Nick pulls through. Great addition to this collection and very much looking forward to the next.
