Chemical Attraction (The Social Experiment)

Two strangers, six weeks, the social experiment says the odds are in their favor, but Ember is about to upturn everything Dexter thinks he knows about love and his social experiment, too.

Dexter Houston is a megalomaniac who believes he is in exclusive control of cupid’s poisoned arrow. After agreeing to partake in his disastrous social experiment on dating, I’m paired for a six-week hip hugging adventure with someone with the personality and charm of a field goal post. No matter how hard I try to find an escape clause, it looks as if I’m destined to six-weeks of hard dating labor.

From the NEW YORK TIMES and USA TODAY bestselling author, Addison Moore—Cosmopolitan Magazine calls Addison's books, "...easy, frothy fun!"

Ember Sparks is every inch the explosive firecracker that her ironic name suggests. All I need is for her to cooperate and maybe fall in love with the guy she’s paired with to prove that love is nothing but a farce. Any combination of people can fall under the illusion known as love if given the right circumstances. I don’t believe in the real deal, that’s the stuff fairytales are made of. Nope, it’s time and chance and a body full of hormones which trick you into believing that the four-letter L word exists.

After being dumped by my famous ex I knew I my only option was to head back to Leland, to continue with research in the psychology department. It’s about as entertaining as it sounds, so I decided to make it so. Why not debunk the heart’s greatest misery? If my ex believes she could find her “soul mate” with the roadie on her tour in less than six weeks, then I’m betting everyone else on the planet can do the same in such a ridiculously short amount of time. Now that I’ve finally sold my social experiment to cable TV, I feel vindication after all of the sorrow and grief I was put through. But Ember and that doorpost she’s up against aren’t exactly boosting ratings. They aren’t proving my point that given a six-week pressure cooker while placed in a well-manipulated environment even the hardened of hearts will fall head over heels. Nope, Ember isn’t falling for her man. In fact, the more time I spend with Ember the faster it is I’m falling for her.
