Through high school, Julie had a crush on one of her teachers. She loved how he taught and looked. The tests she always took proved how perfect they were for one another. Now that she is grown, a career woman, and is mature, she is ecstatic when a chance meeting has come for her. One thing she realized was that she was not going to lose him again. In school, she was immature and could not do anything, but now she is determined to make him hers. Men have come and gone, but only one man has always been in her mind. Marc Johnson might have been a teacher but now he is going to be hers. As an accountant, Julie was taught to work with numbers and study everything possible. With Marc, she will not only study him, but also find out what makes him tick and what dark secrets he has in him. Secrets that are making him pull away from a future they could possibly have. Marc Johnson has a secret one that can determine his future relationship with Julie Gates. When he taught her in school, she was always a confused and immature girl. Now he has second thoughts, as she is his accountant. A person who came to class with a different hairstyle did not seem the right person for his bookkeeping. Julie cannot figure out why Marc hates her or treats her badly. No matter how bad he treats her, Julie knows he is her man. He might not think so, but her test proves how right they are for one another. The Attraction Factor quiz has always been right for her, and will prove to Marc that she is not just a girl, but a woman all the way. The past keeps coming back for Marc no matter how hard he tries to hide it. With Julie, he feels something that he thought was lost. He knows it’s not right to fall in love with her, but she gets to him as no other woman has done. As she continues to work with him and his papers, he starts getting closer to her. The only thing Julie knows for sure is that there is definitely an attraction between them. One thing disappointing about this book was that there wasn’t that much sizzle between Marc and Julie. It was like a two dimensional romance. They would talk and sometimes make love, but this reviewer didn’t feel heat. The attraction factor showed they were compatible, but somehow it didn’t liven up their attraction in bed. Above all, it was a nice romance for readers. The Attraction Factor is a test that proves how right Julie Gates and Marc Johnson are for one another. Cathy McDavid’s latest brings the phrase to mind that some girl tests are right. Which proves that the test Julie took is still dear to her as she reminisces about how right Marc is for her. True to the book, there is of course romance, and the secrets revealed most of all, a woman’s determination not to lose her man a second time. Julie has problems of her own that include a brother who is rebelling slowly, and a man who keeps entering her thoughts. Marc is a man who has to deal with his past in order to have a life with Julie. Before these characters can make a go at it, they have to overcome so many obstacles to learn that they are meant to be with each other. Now this reviewer is waiting for another Cathy McDavid novel, for this one shows a writer with great writing imagination and characters that come to life once you start reading them.
