Sex + money shouldn’t = love, but since when does the heart follow any laws but its own?

Recent college graduate and mathematical genius Skye McCord is determined that this summer he is going to do something he’s always wanted to try. Living. And, as a scientist, he’s not leaving anything to chance. He’s got a new job in Las Vegas, a signing bonus burning a hole in his pock...more

Considering the fact that this is a book about a hooker and a virgin nerd who wants to learn about gay sex, it's not surprising that it's filled with one sex scene after another with very little plot in between. While I definitely got why the guys fell in lust, I completely failed to see where the love came from.

***Guilty Pleasure Alert***

Look what I found! An adorable, delectable, virgin ass to bite into! Nothing sets off my guilty pleasure fun faster than a geeky, inexperienced cutie pie all done up in black rimmed Buddy Holly glasses, sweaters, and suspenders ready and willing to study the art of sex, seduction, and some oh-so wicked ways as a bonus. Suspenders, people! :D

Skye McCord, a brilliant socially awkward mathematician, devises a plan of action to learn all about dating, flirting, and sex b...more

I really liked the idea of this story. Nerdy guy is so busy with school and more school, hires a pro to help get him up to speed sexually. Skye is very cute as he learns new things about himself and sex. Liam is super sexy. He determines that Skye is submissive and decides he is the man to show Skye that side of things. The lessons were my favorite part of the story.

The things that drove me a little nuts. First was the POV changes. It was hard to keep track of who was doing the talking. I often...more

Skye is a socially inept scientist, with love over mathematic, who hires Liam (a professional escort) to teach him about gay sex. So, the plot sets out the path for multiple sex scenes -- and not much room for anything else.

Therefore, in order to like this book, it depends on your mood or preference. Either you like a) multiple sex scenes (few of it pretty hot) and adorable character that can help you dismiss the no-real-issue plot OR b) you prefer to have actual story that happens outside the...more

3.75 stars (rounded up)

Holy freaking' .. whatever! This was seriously hot stuff!!

Seriously, if this were a real gay sex instructional, I'd be going out to find my own Liam right now. I kinda want to actually! Okay, but seriously, I just finished this and I'm writing this immediately so I had to get that out of the way.

If there is one thing that I love more than anything, in real life and my romance, it is geeky guys. I swear, give me glasses and a stutter, gi...more

Review written for Mm Good Book Reviews

It started fun, moved on to hot, escalated to super-hot, went on to freaking intense and made the big BAM with sweet declaration of love.

Dear Lord, no matter the stereotype and cliché plot of client rents boy, client falls in love with said rent-boy, rent-boy falls in love with client and so on, this book was still very, no extremely hot. You can practically inhale it in one go so fast it takes your breath aw...more

This is a cute story about a naive, virginal geek who hires a male escort to teach him how to be gay. The MCs Skye (the geek) and Liam (the prostitute) are very likable and they have great chemistry. Skye is one of my favorite character types - geeky but hot. Liam is probably a lot of people's favorite character types - hot and forceful but also kind. I really liked that the author didn't use common stereotypes to portray Liam. He was not a tortured soul. He actually enjoys his job. As other rev...more

I loved the gay lessons that the hot escort, Liam, gave to the nerdy, rocket scientist, virgin, Skye. Skye is a 29 year old genius who never fit in with his peers, because being 4 years ahead of everyone else, he didn't have any. Liam is a caring, funny and all around good guy who becomes an escort when the economy caused him to lose his construction business.

The lessons and introduction to the BDSM lifestyle were really intriguing to me. I found them to be a combo of hot and sweet. But, of cour...more

Not a bad book. Just not my favourite Fae Sutherland read.

Nerdy graduate hires escort to learn about sex, trying to apply equations and logical formula to sex and feelings. Wants the experience for when he meets Mr Right.

Sexy escort with lots of experience, introduces nerdy guy to sex in a gentle, yet sexy manner. Of course, it's no hardship to do the nerdy guy, 'cause he's cute.

Skye is a naieve yet intelligent guy trying to get a bit of experience he's missed out on previously. He has a break b...more

3+/3.5 stars. Very sweet main character geeky virgin scientist who hires a male escort to help "explore" his sexuality. I really liked Skye's very analytical approach to kissing and sexytimes. Very amusing.

This was an enjoyable and sweet read, even with the light BDSM elements. I usually don't read BDSM, and the Dom/sub parts were kind of unexpected. Even so, they were done with a light hand and helped reveal Skye's sexuality to himself and me, the reader.

Considering the set up, there's a LOT of...more

Funny, hot and very romantic, Equation for Love is about a mathematical genius Skye McCord who wants to learn how to be gay by paying a gay male escort to teach him how. Liam Maddox, the gay male escort, meets his client and devises ways for Skye to uncover his submissive side among other things and throughout the ‘training’ discovers that he is falling for the cute and awkward Skye, which really doesn’t happen to him.

Skye is filled with doubts when their...more

The first book this year that I've truly LOVED. Will write a full review later. I seem to have a thing for socially awkward MCs finding their footing and I got it in spades here. Awkward, geeky scientist (virgin) meets rent boy; the BDSM angle was just icing. As usual Fae brings her A game with the storytelling. I absolutely loved these characters and every situation they were placed in. What brought the book down to four stars was Liam's insistence on calling the sub 'my own' every five sentenc...more

Torn between a 3 or 4 star. The enjoyment was a 4, but lack of complex plot made me say 3 stars.

Here's what I liked the best. How the relationship developed between Skye and Liam was electric, and when they started to explore submission it was intense.


In a way, this book really had a profound effect on me; it made me consider how it must feel to be a prostitute or porn star and how it affects their love life. For example, for most of us, we equal love to sex or at least in some form of affection...more

I really enjoyed this book. First, because the cover and title matches the book and secondly, because there is a character named Liam:)

Skye has just received his Master's degree and has decided that now is the time to learn about being gay. Liam enters, as a paid escort, to show Skye how to do this. Skye is a so called geek, it is mentioned that he still dresses as if he is in college with jeans, faded tshirts, suspenders and glasses. He calculates and tries to find reason in everything.

On the f...more

HOT! The first two books by Fae Sutherland were short stories. I liked them, but...WOW! Equation for Love was the hottest book I've read in awhile. Loved the characters, and the sex was sizzling. Did anybody else think that Skye was a lot like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory? I started with a really hot image in my head, but occasionally Skye reminded me of Sheldon, aside from the glasses and suspenders. Eventually I was able to shake it and picture the original hot geek who popped into...more

Ami`s review here

Boring.
The amount of talking and inner musings (even for a professor with an analytic mind) during the sex scenes - and there were a lot of them - was utterly ridiculous.
Men are primates when it comes to sex (elsewhere too but I`m trying to be nice..). They don`t talk, they don`t think....they grunt.

Adding the lack of emotion,a thin storyline and the "Sir"/BDSM part(?) I lost interest halfway through...
Emma
The book is fine, it's just not my kind of book. The plot is so small it certainly isn't allowed on any rollercoasters. It's pretty much one long sex scene, with a few interludes of smouldering desire. I like a bit more real life in my stories.

I adored the little I saw of Skye's personality, and wish more had been done with him and Liam.

The D/s and mild restraint was hot, but again, it wasn't developed and never went anywhere.

If you're looking for mainly sex, with sugarkink, then I think you'l...more

This is a sweet little story with Pretty Woman over-tones. There is a very light, sugar-kink, BDSM theme but nothing too scary. It was a nice read but I found it hard to truly submerge myself in the story. I kept on having thoughts like "Oh this reminds me of xyz book; or xyz movie". I had to really struggle to pull myself back into the book. For that reason I couldn't really enjoy the it. I'm not 100% convinced that this was my fault but am willing to concede that it is if the book gets predomi...more

I really like this book. Would give it a 4.5.
The concept was interesting. Skye, a shy genius, had just gotten a dream job. Before starting his new job, he decided he needed to come out and to make up for the life he didn't have growing up. He goes to Las Vegas and hires Liam, a gay escort to teach him about being gay. The meeting not only wakes up the submisssiveness in Skye but it changes the life and goals of Liam.

I really enjoyed this book. The story is simple and perhaps a bit far-fetched: the nerdy scientist who falls for the rent boy, and vice versa. But I thought it was really well-done. They had a sweet relationship. It didn't seem out of the realm of possibility that the two would connect on a deeper level. And Skye was adorable and clever.

Like other reviewers have said this book is all sex and when I say that I mean out of the 175 PDF pages it's 140 on sex scenes and inner thoughts during the sex scenes on how amazing the other person is there is no character development all we know about these two is what is mentioned in the first couple pages
Gyn
Maybe 2.5 stars. A nerdy virgin genius hires a Vegas escort to teach him the ways of gay sex and they fall in love. Very little depth of character or story. There were point of view changes like every other sentence that drove me nuts and confused the heck out of me. Overall an ok read IMO.
Kris (KindleRomance)
4.5 Stars - I really enjoyed this story. Lots of steamy sex, with light bondage, and very interesting characters. I really liked Liam with his sweet, sexy words and his desire to help out Skye with learning all about dating and sex. Skye was an adorable contrast with his brilliance mind but almost non-existent social skills. This would have easily been a 5 star book if the time they spent on the boat during their date was shared with the reader. They spent a lot of time talking and laughing and...more

I have had so much fun reading this book. There were moments that I laughed until I hurt myself. I also used a lot of tissue crying at times. This is the first book I have read by this author. I will look forward to finding more books.

Cute.
I revised my rating for 4 to 3.5 stars as I read it. The story is cute; I loved Pretty Woman after all. This would have done better as a short story or novella. The first few chapters were dynamite and the chemistry between the characters was hot. After a while, though, the scenes got repetitive and some of the ultra-light bdsm stuff was rather superfluous.
Alicia
Sweet story about a mathematical genius and the "escort" he hires to teach him about sex and men. Thoroughly enjoyable. And of course, it had overtones of the Julia Roberts' movie, but that just added to the fun.

I *LOVED* this book. Great MCs and awesome tension. I really got into it and I didn't want it to end. I always love Ms. Sutherland, and this is exactly why!

When 75% of the book is sex scenes I have to think about if I want to read it. I normally like a little plot with my sex.

All in all, while enjoyable, I just couldn't get into it. I think the whole BDSM thing didn't quite work for me.

Fae Sutherland has always dreamed of being a published author, starting her writing career off at age 11 with a series of stories she charged her classmates a dollar to read. She has since progressed to more serious writing, though always keeping that dash of irreverence and fun (and a hell of a lot more heat!). Also, she charges just slightly more than a dollar now.

Fae is perhaps best known for h...more
