My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Robbie turns to ALGRL, a high‑tech dating algorithm boasting a 97% success rate, convinced it’s the only way he won’t mess up love again. But everything gets complicated when he meets Dunlop Palmer — a billionaire playboy who is the exact opposite of the “perfect match” Robbie was promised. Dunlop irritates him, gets under his skin, and completely upends Robbie’s expectations. As they work together, Robbie starts seeing the real man behind the swagger, and suddenly the safe, guaranteed match online doesn’t feel nearly as compelling as the infuriating, irresistible disaster right in front of him.
Robbie and Dunlop’s romance has one of my favourite tropes: two people who meet at work, start hooking up, and only afterward discover they were algorithmically matched by ALGRL. That twist should have been explosive, but honestly, the execution felt a bit too cheesy to land with real emotional weight. Their chemistry is fun, and the premise has so much potential, but the writing leans heavily on rom‑com fluff without giving either character the depth they deserved. Robbie and Dunlop’s personalities stay mostly on the surface, making it hard to fully invest in their connection beyond the initial spark. Still, the setup is entertaining, and the ALGRL reveal adds a playful twist — I just wished the story had dug deeper into who these men really were beneath the banter. This was an MM story with mature content.
