Love by the Numbers

De: Karin Kallmaker

Narrado por: 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.

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!

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.

Both narrator and story

A very intelligent, witty, and satisfying love story. The narration only heightened the setting, the banter, and the almost entirely believable story. One of the rare times my suspension of disbelief was never challenged.

Contrasting Characters

Sometimes schedule changes can open up new worlds if you trust your companion and let down rigid barriers. Good story w LOL moments. Great narrative voice.

Loved it!!

I loved every minute of this! Yes it was a sloooow burn, but not angsty!! Totally worth the read 🧡

an incredible romp across Europe

I enjoyed how Lilly acted as tour guide through the European book tour. The tension was just right. Fun to look back ion the infancy of GPS technology.

The Russian adventure was spellbinding.

Abby Creden brought the story alive.

Parallel story

The waiting game for the eventual discovery and relationship development was well worth the wait!!
Great narration

I need a sequel! Please!!

What a wonderful book Karin Kallmaker has written, made even more special by Abby Craden's magical narration!! The two main characters are so charming, they had me smiling & laughing outloud throughout! Really, please consider a sequel!!
