The Applicant (Busted Labs book 1) by @AideeLadnier | Cat's Release day Review & #giveaway @Dreamspinners

How can something so cuddly and adorable be so destructive? The teddy bear robot decimating his lab is only the first disaster of the day for roboticist Forbes Pohle. If he can figure out how to end its rampage, he still has to interview applicants for the position of research assistant and convince the time-traveler on his doorstop that they should be making their future right now. Oliver Lennox didn’t travel back in time to have a quickie in the blast chamber—but it certainly is fun. This younger Forbes is a sweeter, more innocent version of his lover. And it will be hard to leave him behind in the past.

If you like sexy nerds, humor, plenty of action, and a love story not even time can disrupt, this romantic adventure has the perfect credentials for the job.

22-year-old Dr. Forbes Phole is working on a Teddy bear robot when he gets a persistent visitor at his door. He is set to hire an assistant today and annoyed this one won't let up on the bell. When Oliver walks in he is ready to hire on sight, but Oliver isn't an applicant. Yet. The Teddy goes on a rampage as does Oliver in a different way. He decides to take his lover's virginity before they move on to business. The business of Oliver trying to fix something in the future as he is Dr. Forbes partner in the future. Oliver has a secret he wishes he could change but isn't sure he should tamper with things too much of his reason to be there. Helping Forbes hire the right assistant and a subtle message to start a nanobot project sooner.

I liked the story. It is cute for a very short story. I think if it were a little longer I wouldn't have been so confused over a few things. There was so much mentioned and going on in both the past and future it was a bit hard to follow. I do think it is an excellent set up for a series and hope the next book is longer. Time travel isn't usually my thing, but this book was fun to read and kind of interesting. It didn't have a lot of big words or weird settings. The crazy teddy bear, in the beginning, made the story.

If you like scientists, time travel, robots, short stories and some sweet but hot man-sex, I think you will like this story a lot.
