Narration sucks.

The narration is horrible. Don't waste your money. The narrator sounds like he's reading an instruction manual very stiff and robotic.

Omg loved this so much

There’s the perfect balance of sexy time and romance in this story, it’s pretty plot/character driven which I enjoyed. can I also mention how HOT it was hearing the scenes of Pax with his Nerdlet . 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 of steam for sure & the sweetness in this story is enough to give you a cavity. The narrator is new to me and I was completely sold on his performance of one of my favorite reads this year! His voices were pretty spot on how I imagined them. This is the perfect book to start with if you are unfamiliar with the author’s work as it is a standalone and showcases her talent perfectly. There’s plenty of banter/snark, the characters are fully developed, the entire plot is GOLD, and you get a lot of laughs with some fantastic love scenes (which I don’t even usually read).

Oh how I adore this book!!!

I almost never both read and listen to a book, I just do not have enough time to do both and I want to get in as many books as possible. I make the rare exception for books that are 5 star reads for me, it is an o
pportunity to experience a book I love all over again and with an added interpretation from the narrator.
First the book: this is hands down my favorite book by KM Neuhold and I have read everything she has written. Rocket Science checked all of my favorite boxes: nerd, virgin, smart dialogue, sweetness and all the feels...I got butterflies more than once reading this book. And the steamy times were off the chart hot, but balanced perfectly based upon the characters. I adored Pax and watching him fall in love with Elijah, his Einstein, his Nerdlet, it was pure perfection! It was so well written and flowed effortlessly, I didn't want it to end.
The narration: Zachary Zaba is a new narrator for me. I will admit at first I was not on board with his voice, it was very deep and I had a hard time connecting with it, especially his voice for Pax. I am so glad I kept going though, because somewhere along the way everything clicked and I was sold. Pax is supposed to have a deep voice, that is how his character was written. His voice for Elijah was perfect and boy can the man read a steamy scene...he was spot on. I would definitely listen to him again and I am glad I got to experience him narrating this book!

Loved the nerdlet!

This book just gave me all the feels. I’d already read it, but listening to it was just as amazing. The new-to-me narrator was pretty good, too.

“We’re all just atoms crashing together” 🔬💞

I loved the book and now I love the audio book even more! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

There’s just something about falling in love with your childhood crush and actually being together with him.

Nerdlet is adorable in so many ways, but also very practical in his thinking. I love how the simplified every other thing in his life & avoided any complicated situations. He’s a genius, focused and driven but also has the innocence and sense of adventure.

Pax is perfect for him. He’s the sexy older man who’s confident, settled and could protect and values his Nerdlet. 💙 I enjoy listening to them fall into bed together and fall in love with each other. It was inevitable. 💜

It’s a love story, not too complicated, it’s not like rocket science. 🚀 It’s a beautiful story, a fun read and perfect for those who want less angst.

The steamy scenes are hawt too! 😉

🎙 This is the first time I’ve heard Zachary Zaba narrate and he’s the perfect pick for Pax and Elijah. 👏🏼

This story is worth more than 5 stars! 👍🏼 Also, I can’t wait to read more about the rest of the characters’ story. 🙌🏼

Pax is disappointing

Angst with a heeping helping of heartwarming moments. Elijah was such a precious pure soul, and Pax was a callous cavalier thot with E's emotions and affections. I could have throat punched him all through the story. Pax had such a commitment phobia, that he acted like an immature player. I wished he had gotten a clue and grown up sooner instead of being such a D bag. Coward! Was truth and honesty to such a beautiful man so hard , Pax??? Elijah was the mature responsible one in that relationship. The narrator did a great job.

Great story with okay performance

I am always excited when an author announces one of the books I love is being produced as an audiobook. However, I listened to the sample, and I was on the fence. While I love Neuhold’s words, I was underwhelmed by the narrator. There have been times I was disappointed by the sample but was able to get into the narration once I listened to the entire story.
After listening to the whole audiobook, I think Zaba did a decent job. There were sound quality issues, and at times, Zaba seemed bored. He did do a nice job keeping the characters discernible. The sexy scenes were also nicely done. I think there was just inconsistencies that made me frustrated.
I would recommend you listen to the sample. If you are put off by the performance, just read the book. This story is so enjoyable and warming. If you are digging the audio, go for it.

3 stars

This book just didn't do it for me. It was cute and a bit sexy but I just found myself a little bored.

Loved It

I really kinda fell for Elijah and Pax (the 2 mc's). I loved Pax's nicknames for Elijah (Einstein and Nerdlet), and how when he teased him it was all in fun and never in a mean way. It was great the way Elijah picked up on Pax's inner-nerd and him actually being really smart as well. I was surprised by and loved that Pax seemed protective not only of Elijah but his other friends as well. I guess I underestimated him because of how he was portrayed as not committing to relationships. Their chemistry was off the charts which made way lots of steamy scenes. I think they made a really sweet couple and were perfect for each other. Plus there's a great epilogue 4 years down the road!! This was my first book by this author and I definitely want to read more!!

Again I'm still new to the audiobook world but I thought Zachary Zaba did an awesome job!!
