His conversations with Juno were the sweetest! And I loved that the relationship River was forming with Juno didn’t overpower the romance. River got me with the way he showed up and went above and beyond without being asked.

I loved every minute of watching them come together. The romance between River and Jess was perfect. I also very much enjoyed the conversations between Jess and her bff, Fizzy. Despite being a single mom, she held zero grudges and considered her daughter nothing short of a blessing.

Jess won me over almost immediately with the way she talked about her daughter, Juno. So, I was excited to see someone use that idea! I had already been really attracted to the idea when he released his book, but I had also thought it would make a great romance, too. However, The One is a thriller, which I unfortunately haven’t read yet (but I want to!). If you’re not familiar with it, using DNA to find your perfect match is the premise in that one, too. After reading the premise, I was immediately reminded of Marrs’ The One. I’ve been a CLo fan for a long time, so I was thrilled when I saw that I won a copy of this one on Goodreads.

As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the “Diamond” pairing that could make GeneticAlly a mint in stock prices, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist–and the science behind a soulmate–than she thought.įunny, warm, and full of heart, The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated. Jess–who is barely making ends meet–is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get to know him and we’ll pay you. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate.

This is one number she can’t wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98% compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands. Jess holds her loved ones close, but working constantly to stay afloat is hard…and lonely.īut then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. After all, her father’s never been around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before Juno was even born. Raised by her grandparents–who now help raise her seven-year-old daughter, Juno–Jess has been left behind too often to feel comfortable letting anyone in. Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world.
