Synopsis:

One week.
Private cabin.
Famous physicist.
Still an unrepentant slacker.
What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona’s meticulously planned allotment of relaxation is thrown into chaos by the unscheduled appearance of her older brother’s band of friends, including the one person she'd hoped to never face again. Abram still makes her feel entirely too much, which is one of the reasons she disappeared after their one week together. But now, trapped on a mountain of snow and things unspoken, Mona will have to find a way to coexist with Abram, chaos and all.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION)  and 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.

My Review:
I loved so much that even though this one started up quite a bit after the last book ended, we got filled in on things that happened that made how Abram and Mona would react to each other have even more of the drama than would be expected.  We get to see how Mona's little escapade to help her sister almost made it completely without being noticed.  But Abram was smarter, and his being able to figure it out led to even more drama than I was expecting.   But besides the angst and drama, there was the usual hilariousness that I love in all books by this author, at least those that I've read so far.  Let's say that drunk Mona is definitely so much fun!  The perfect way to make up for when Abram burned the letter.  And then there was her brother, who at one point I wanted to punch for how he added even more unnecessary drama to them trying to figure out where they could go from where they were, friends or more.  

As with the other one in this series, as soon as I picked it up, all I could think was how much I wished it was summer time and I could stay up all night to read it in one sitting, or lying in bed as it may be in this case.   Also again as with the first one, it was a cliffhanger, and now I cannot WAIT for the next book!

Excerpt:

“Hi—hello,” she said, stepping forward but not out of the way, drawing my attention.

She was still staring at me, her face still pale, but her eyes had turned searching instead of stunned.  

“I—” She stopped herself, swallowing, her gaze dropping to the front of my coat, a cute little frown furrowing her eyebrows. In the next moment, she was pulling off the glove of her right hand. Abruptly, she shoved the ungloved fingers toward me, returning her eyes to mine. “I’m Mona.”  

I suppressed my disbelief at her small action before it could break my outward mask of calm. I wasn’t calm. Just to be clear, I was the opposite of calm.  

The fact that she was introducing herself to me now meant that she thought I was too stupid to figure out her lies over the last two-and-a-half-fucking years. She was arguably one of the smartest people in the world, after all. To her, people like me must seem like housebroken pets. So it shouldn’t have surprised me. But it did. The tension and tightness around my ribs reappeared, squeezing uncomfortably.  

Dropping my attention to her bare hand, I pressed my lips into a tighter line, dismissing the way my pulse jumped at the sight of her wrist, the olive tone of her skin under the yellow string lights overhead. Glaring at her outstretched offering, I considered telling her to go to hell.  

I considered it, but I wouldn’t.  

I didn’t trust myself to speak, that was reason number one.  

The other reason was harder to explain, or use as a justification, or admit to myself. Staring at her hand, I braced against a sudden flare of hunger. She might consider me a lower life-form, but that didn’t change the fact that I wanted to touch her. I wanted to touch her more than I wanted to tell her to go to hell, and that was fucking pitiful.  

But there it was.  

Acting on the compulsion, I lifted my right hand and tugged off the ski glove, sliding my warm palm against her much colder one. Her hand felt good in my hand, the right weight, the right size, the right texture, and I inhaled freezing air.  

Mona also seemed to suck in a slow but expansive breath as our hands touched, held. This brought my eyes back to hers in time to see her lashes flutter. Pink colored her previously pale cheeks. The sound of the wailing wind, the sting of the air and frost momentarily melted away, leaving just her, her soft skin warming against mine, her beautiful face filling my vision.  

So beautiful.  

She really was. She was stunning. I hated that she was still so beautiful to me.
