This book pleasantly surprised me, especially considering it's a standalone spin-off of "The Soulmate Equation," which I found quite boring. What set this book apart and made it an enjoyable read for me was the delightful heroine.

In "The True Love Experiment," we follow a romance book author who decides to participate in a reality dating show produced by the hero. This show is like a romance book-themed version of "The Bachelorette," where each contestant embodies a different romance hero archetype. The concept of the reality show was highly entertaining, and I loved how it was executed.

The hero in this story is the show's producer and also a single dad with an adorable daughter. He's British, which adds to his charm. While the romance between them was well-crafted, what truly made the book shine was the assertiveness of the heroine. She's the type of woman who goes after what she wants, and she definitely wants the hero.

However, the romance had to remain discreet due to the show's nature, as they didn't want their relationship to spoil the program. Despite this, their connection was heartfelt and touching, making for a wholesome and heartwarming read. It's worth noting that this book is not particularly steamy, but it's more about the emotional connection between the characters.
