The New York Times best-selling author of The Unhoneymooners returns with a witty and effervescent novel about what happens when two people with everything on the line are thrown together by science—or is it fate? Perfect for fans of The Rosie Project and One Plus One.

Single mom Jess Davis is a data and statistics wizard, but no amount of number crunching can convince her to step back into the dating world. After all, her father was never around, her hard-partying mother disappeared when she was six, and her ex decided he wasn’t “father material” before her daughter was even born. Jess holds her loved ones close, but working constantly to stay afloat is hard...and lonely.

But then Jess hears about GeneticAlly, a buzzy new DNA-based matchmaking company that’s predicted to change dating forever. Finding a soulmate through DNA? The reliability of numbers: This Jess understands.

At least she thought she did, until her test shows an unheard-of 98 percent compatibility with another subject in the database: GeneticAlly’s founder, Dr. River Peña. This is one number she can’t wrap her head around, because she already knows Dr. Peña. The stuck-up, stubborn man is without a doubt not her soulmate. But GeneticAlly has a proposition: Get to know him and we’ll pay you. Jess - who is barely making ends meet—is in no position to turn it down, despite her skepticism about the project and her dislike for River. As the pair are dragged from one event to the next as the "Diamond" pairing that could launch GeneticAlly’s valuation sky-high, Jess begins to realize that there might be more to the scientist - and the science behind a soulmate—than she thought.

"Laugh-out-loud, sweet, charming, and humorous" (Library Journal, starred review), The Soulmate Equation proves that the delicate balance between fate and choice can never be calculated.

What are you waiting for?

I must admit I’m fairly new to the romance genre, but even a complete amateur like myself can find such captivating parallels between this work and my very own life.
The oration and delivery were simply marvelous and the depth of character building had me clinching my teeth, feeling the thrills of the main and sub characters emotions alike.
The plot was so thick you’d need a scapula to to dissect it.

It’s a great read, written very well, and narrated with utmost perfection. The bits of humor balanced the story and somewhat dryness of the science and math related information that worked in.

I wish there were more stars.

Fun!

A bit smutty in a soft way. Great story to sink into. Highly recommend. Just not around young ears.

omg i love this book!

It was so good! I can't wait to see what else this author/narrigator has to offer :)

Cute and fun!

Such a light and well written book. I absolutely loved it. A little nerdy with a lot of romance and enough twists to keep you reading.

10 stars! Great book!

I wish I could give this book 10 stars! This is one of my favorite books. I stayed up all night listening to this. I could not turn it off. Highly recommend it, nobody will compare after listening to the great writing by Christina and Lauren.

Sweet

This is a sweet story. Jess and River’s story had me wanting more. I couldn’t stop listening. I loved the character arcs and the growth they showed as a couple and as individuals. Great characters and a wonderfully heart warming story.

I had high expectations for this book, all I heard is how good it is. Also cause I've listened to some of they're other books, they are some of the best romcom books out there. They are for sure one click authors. This book definitely delivered, I loved this book so much. The characters were so great, I loved the best friend, Fizzy. She was always there for Jess.
