What
do a nerd, a jock, and a slacker have in common? Each other.
When Auggie’s controlling father threatens to cut short his studies, it’s time
to put his life in order. Add one cute nerd and one dedicated swimmer, and he
has a new lesson to learn—how to love.
Emory is all kinds of confused. He really, really likes Auggie but is
also in love with his best friend, Casey. Then Auggie comes up with a plan to
see if Emory and Casey share any chemistry, and nothing will ever be the same
again.
Casey lives for swimming and snuggling his best friend, Emory. Except Emory is
in love with him, Auggie’s confusing him, and suddenly he has to confront his
feelings and his sexuality.
Three men and one conundrum. How can they all get the guy?
Lessons in Chemistry is a slow-burn MMM college/university romance
between an inexperienced nerd, an asexual jock, and the slacker who’s been
around. There’s a fake date, first times, three guys finding their way in love
and life, and a whole lot of snuggling.

“I want to kiss you,” I tell him.
Casey tilts his face up so I can lean down to give him a closed-mouth kiss. It’s long, tender, and soft. His lashes flutter as I pull away and smile at him.
“That was lovely.” He lays his head on my chest again.
I smile and kiss his hair.
“That’s nice too.” He half rolls, so he’s semi-facing Auggie.
Auggie seems to know exactly what Casey wants. He pushes up onto his elbow and kisses Casey. Even though it’s a sweet kiss, watching them still turns me on. They look stunning together, especially as Auggie’s beard scruff creates a red texture on Casey’s chin.
Auggie pushes up farther and kisses me over Casey. I’m aware of Casey glancing up from the movement of his head. Is he watching us as our mouths open and our tongues connect? Auggie lies down again, and the three of us go back to snuggling.
After a while, Casey shifts position and snuggles against Auggie. I turn to spoon his back, which is a new experience. I’ve never spooned with anyone. It’s nice being so close to him, having his back resting against my chest. I loop my arm over him and stroke Auggie’s arm. A thrill runs down my spine. We’re in a three-way relationship. Okay, so it’s brand new and tentative and awkward, but I’m lying in bed, cuddling two amazing and beautiful men.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I enjoyed this story, it is sweet, sexy, and low angst – and takes us right through to the point that we feel reassured, happy, and certain of the romance, which I appreciated.
What I did find surprising – having a son who went to uni and having met some of his friends – is that these guys are all incredibly mature and measured for their age. Of Emory and Casey, I could almost believe it, as it fitted their personality, but Auggie does a 180 degree turn in a matter of seconds. I was happy to go with it, as I was genuinely engaged in their lives, it just was a little unexpected.
There are a lot of fun moments in this book, often due to the ease it is to make Emory blush. Overall though, it is a very kind, caring read, which deals with some complex issues in a positive, empowering way. The mixture of uni life, supporting an athlete at swim meets, and dealing with a negligent father all combine to give insight and probably comfort to a reader in any of those situations.
COLETTE DAVISON’s personal love
story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of
flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairytale
wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with
her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.
