If you're looking for a cute, quick romance to read, this is definitely a good option.

I liked both stacey and reece, they have a good dynamic. The book takes place over a pretty short time period, and I like that they don't make a huge leap to love. We end in a very natural place with potential for them to be more.

I liked the little chats between stacey and her friends and the time reece spends with the football team too.

Unfortunately, it didn't majorly blow me away, I can't really explain why because there's nothing I hated about it. It was a nice cute story.

I received an advance review copy of this book, and this review represents my honest opinion. Thank you to netgalley, Christine Miles, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

Christine Miles' "Off-the-Charts Chemistry" is a vibrant and delightful romance that sizzles with energy and charm. The novel follows two characters whose chemistry is undeniable, both in and out of the laboratory, as they navigate the complexities of love and career. Miles' writing is witty and engaging, with a perfect balance of humor and heart. The characters are well-developed and their interactions are filled with genuine, sparkling dialogue. "Off-the-Charts Chemistry" is a fun and heartwarming read that expertly combines romance with a touch of science, making it a captivating choice for fans of contemporary love stories.

I love a good teacher romance, and just in time for the new school year to start too! I thought that this story seemed more realistic than a lot of other over the top romance story which was really refreshing! The characters had unique friendships that most times aren't told any more.

This book was such a great read. The plot was easy to follow and I loved the STEM setting. This book was well written and I loved characters who were perfectly suited to each others and different than your usual romance characters, as they were in the older demographic and it was perfectly done.

I cannot say enough good things about this book. It was perfectly sweet and completely unputdownable!

I love a woman in STEM! I liked that Reece had eyes only for Stacey and focused on her so much. Their communication was a thing of dreams, with easy flowing conversation and the ability to actually talk like adults.

Stacey was a strong female lead, and I appreciated that she was unapologetic in who she was.

Very sweet and charming romance! The characters felt real and honest. There was no third act breakup, A+ to the author for that! Looking forward to more of this series of intelligent women!

This book had many of the components of a sweet, quick read that many chick lit readers are drawn to including a small town love story and a shy girl getting the guy.

The female protagonist sometimes did grate me in the style of “librarian takes her glasses off and is secretly a bombshell, but never knew it” way that I find unrealistic and for the male gaze. I appreciated though that she was smart and dedicated to her career. It was great to see her confidence grow and to see how the male protagonist continued to support her.

Overall, it was a fun read!

This was a delightful rom com novel and a great start to a new series. There is an unlikely pairing of a chemistry teacher and a football coach at Vista High. It is heartwarming and I loved the humor.
Many thanks to Sealed With A Swoon Books and to Netgalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Stacey is a high school chemistry teacher, she is a self proclaimed nerd, doesn’t understand the hype of any sport, and has a history of being unlucky in love. Reece is the new head football coach, facing a losing record and unhelpful assistant coach, he is determined to turn the season around and secure his job. The last thing he expected was the instant spark with the chemistry teach when he goes to talk about some of his players failing grades, but after a chance early morning run in and the perfect coffee formula, Reece finds certain chemistry is off-the-charts undeniable!

This was a cute and fast read! The MCs are older, the attraction and tension is hot but feels very realistic. Reece was so sweet, honest, and open. Stacey is a self-proclaimed nerd and has never gotten the hype of sports but the way she shows Reece her interest with football was really sweet. This was a low angst and sweet book; and while a slow burn and more “tame” spice, it packed a punch that made me really feel the heat. 🥵 This book was perfect formula for a sweet romance, sweet with heat and relatable MCs. This was new to me author and I am excited to read book 2 in the series that is already out.

I love a workplace romance, especially when one of the characters has a secret from their past that they are keeping hidden (that isn't toxic or harmful, just a little mysterious), and Off the Charts Chemistry has that in spades! Stacey Kinsella is a small-town chemistry teacher who becomes the unlikely friend and then more than friends with the new football coach, Reece Caldwell.

This is a sweet, small-town workplace slow burn that had me smiling the entire time.

Unfortunately I did not finish this book. The plot and the characters seemed interesting enough but it was a little spicier than I wanted. I did try to flip through some of the parts that were less appealing to me but ultimately did not finish. I think it was a good book just not for me.

Hey there! Just finished diving into this one, and let me tell you, it was like being wrapped in a warm hug on a rainy day! The romance? Swoon-worthy! The characters? Utterly charming! I laughed, I cried (happy tears, of course), and I couldn't stop grinning like a fool. It's the kind of book that makes you believe in love all over again. Seriously, it's a must-read!
