Entertaining read. It's not as great as Love, Theoretically, but still good. I loved the overriding chess plotline. It's unique and facilitates the romance well. The dynamics between the hero and heroine were fun. It also had great use of an epilogue. It was unique and efficient.
One thing that bothers me is the YA classification. The pattern of the story reads like a typical Hazelwood romance with the only real difference being the lack of explicit sex. At the same time, it has all the sexual build-up (and allusions to sex) as each of her previous novels, until the door shuts to the reader. While that doesn't bother me, I think it's funny that it's the only real difference. The 21 and 18-year-old hero and heroine might be considered young adults in real life, but in romance classification, very rarely if ever. The story reads as NA rather than YA.
