Synopsis
Felicity “Fizzy” Chen is lost. Sure, she’s got an incredible career as a beloved romance novelist with a slew of bestsellers under her belt, but when she’s asked to give a commencement address, it hits her: she hasn’t been practicing what she’s preached.
Fizzy hasn’t ever really been in love. Lust? Definitely. But that swoon-worthy, can’t-stop-thinking-about-him, all-encompassing feeling? Nope. Nothing. What happens when the optimism she’s spent her career encouraging in readers starts to feel like a lie?
Connor Prince, documentary filmmaker and single father, loves his work in large part because it allows him to live near his daughter. But when his profit-minded boss orders him to create a reality TV show, putting his job on the line, Connor is out of his element. Desperate to find his romantic lead, a chance run-in with an exasperated Fizzy offers Connor the perfect solution. What if he could show the queen of romance herself falling head-over-heels for all the world to see? Fizzy gives him a hard pass—unless he agrees to her list of demands. When he says yes, and production on The True Love Experimentbegins, Connor wonders if that perfect match will ever be in the cue cards for him, too.

Review
I loved Fizzy in the Soulmate Equation. So I was beyond excited to find out she would be the FMC of The True Love Experiment.
I loved Connor as well. He was the perfect compliment to Fizzy and her wild ways. He was calm and level-headed for the most part but also interested in learning things. He wasn’t afraid to get out of his comfort zone and was just immediately likable.
I also loved meeting Fizzy’s family. I can imagine her dad stealing the show at her signings because he had some scene-stealing moments in this book. I loved that Fizzy is a romance author and that we see her struggles. I also loved that through Fizzy’s character, Christina Lauren let their own fans know how special they are to them.
The only thing I didn’t love about this was the actual reality show plot. Something just didn’t hold true about that aspect of the book, and I wished there could have been another way to introduce and connect these two characters. But the characters were so great that I could mostly overlook that and enjoy the story of these two falling in love!
