3.5 STARSDelphine Dryden's brand of erotica in her The Science of Temptation series might not be every one's cup of tea but for me I have really come to enjoy this little series. While book one, The Theory of Attraction, and book two, THE SEDUCTION HYPOTHESIS, might not have totally rocked my socks off they both had be glued to the story and I find myself loving her characters more and more.In THE SEDUCTION HYPOTHESIS we are introduced to the new couple Ben and Lindsey. Ben and Lindsey had been happily dating until Ben stupidly broke up with Lindsey for reasons that still baffle Lindsey. When Seduction of Hypothesis starts, Ben and Lindsey have joined their friends to go on a road trip from Houston to Phoenix to attend Beast Con. Things have been a little tense between the former couple and both are contemplating how they will be getting along on this trip. Lindsey is still bitter over the break-up and tries to avoid Ben at all costs. Ben on the other hand stews over her stupidity and tries to come up with a plan to win Lindsey back.Since the break-up, Lindsey has been absorbing her self in the graphic novel, Balls 'n' Chains, which follows the "adventures" of a BDSM club. Balls 'n' Chains has really piqued Lindsey's interest in the BDSM lifestyle and since she started reading the series she's become more interested in trying out more kinky activities in the bedroom. Ben is a little baffled by Lindsey's interest in the series and tries to get a grip in the whole Dom/sub dynamic. After getting some pointers from his friend Ivan (who happens to be well versed in the BDSM lifestyle) Ben decides that playing the "Master" role might be his way to get Lindsey back.When Ben embarks in playing the whole "Master" role, this is when all the fun really starts in THE SEDUCTION HYPOTHESIS. Ben was absolutely adorable and I loved watching him fumble and try to be the dominant lover that Lindsey is obviously craving. The fact that they are both totally new to the whole BDSM thing  was a little worrisome especially when it came time to play in the bedroom. But Delphine Dryden did a fantastic job in letting her characters learn from their little experiment. Being so curious and open minded, Lindsey was really patient in letting Ben play his role and she was just as excited about this adventure they were embarking upon. Bend and Lindsey were matched perfectly and the chemistry and heat between these two were off the charts. Miss Dryden definitely wrote some  very hot scenes and I don't want to give anything away but I just got a real kick out of the props Ben came up with especially the butt plugs and Galdalf's staff. You'll have to read the book to find out what he uses the staff for.Ben and Lindsey were really great characters and I enjoyed the hell reading about their relationship. And while I enjoyed them thoroughly I just didn't get the deep emotional connection that I might get with other couples. They really were great but I just needed a little extra something to bring me up to that next level. Overall, THE SEDUCTION HYPOTHESIS is still a great fun and steamy read. If you're a fan of nerds and some kink, then I most definitely recommend Delphine Dryden's The Science of Temptation. The characters are a little departure from what you would find in "normal" or "typical" contemporary romances and Dryden always writes her stories with a great sense of humor. If you love nerds like I do then you will definitely love Ben and the rest of his Geek Squad friends.
