Kate Sherwood is an auto-buy author for me and More Than Chemistry is a delightful novella that surprised me because I thought I'd have a hard time liking the main character Jack Lawson from the blurb. But Ms. Sherwood was able to take a self-absorbed and sometimes juvenile man and make me like him.Jack and Noah went to high school together. Since then, Jack has worked hard and built up a successful company, all he needs now is a trophy wife and he figures he's got it made. Enter Noah, who is trying to land an advertising account with Jack's company, and when Jack sees his old high school buddy and finds out Noah's sister is a sexy Hollywood actress, he finagles a deal that Noah's company gets the account if Jack goes on a date with Noah's sister! However, weeks after reuniting with Noah, Jack finds himself falling for the guy, but the date with the sister is looming. Who will Jack choose?In the beginning of this book, it was tough to like Jack. He was vain, selfish and unable to see what was right in front of his face: Noah. But as the book progressed, Jack's character grew on me, although he did seem to have a type-A personality. But during the course of the story he changed and the reader had Noah to thank for that. Their chemistry propelled the plot along at a steady pace, and when the end finally came I wanted more! (Always the sign of a good book.) Add in some great secondary characters: Jack's snarky secretary and Noah's sister, and this was a fun read.Overall, More Than Chemistry held my attention, delivered a great plot, interesting characters and a wonderful love story. I can easily recommend this novella.Dark Divas Reviews
