Camilla is an engineer who left science behind to enter the whimsical realm of romantic fiction.
She writes contemporary rom-coms. Her characters have big hearts, might be a little stubborn at times, and love to banter with each other. Every story she pens has a guaranteed HEA that will make your heart beat faster. Unless you're a vampire, of course.
Camilla is a cat lover, coffee addict, and shoe hoarder. Besides writing, she loves reading—duh!—cooking, watching bad TV, and going to the movies—popcorn, please. She's a bit of a foodie, nothing too serious. A keen traveler, Camilla knows mosquitoes play a role in the ecosystem, and she doesn't want to starve all those frog princes out there, but she could really live without them.

Favorite Quotes:“Two adults booking a room at the Peninsula. They’re not here to play Scrabble,” she hisses. “I’m trying to find a silver lining,” Winter says. “If breaking up with Jonathan isn’t giving you the slightest chest pain, perhaps it isn’t all bad you broke up. I mean, he and my sister are two cockroaches who deserve to burn in hell forever, but maybe it was about time you took your relationship with John behind the barn and shot it. more
Book Reviewed on www. whisperingstories. comMovie star Christian Slade is trying to avoid the paparazzi at the hotel he is staying at. He rushes into a nearby storage room and soon hears muffled sobs. Inside is Lana who has followed her boyfriend to the hotel and witnessed him and another woman, one of her friends, entering a hotel room together. more
This was a fun, cute, entertaining story. This is the fourth book in Camilla Isley’s “First Comes Love” series. I have only read the third book prior to this one and I don’t think that impacted my enjoyment of the story. There are some appearances from previous characters but the stories are self contained. Christian and Lana have a meet cute when they are both hiding out in a hotel closet. more
It has been hectic so it takes longer to finish To the Stars and Back. The feeling after finishing up the book is not like to the stars and back. It is NA romance but written with PG 13 style. It has some sweet moments but also a boring moment. The chemistry is too instant. more
Cute, sweet, and fun. To the Stars and Back is a quick, light, flirty tale featuring the sensible, clever Lana and the handsome, successful Christian as they navigate a relationship that includes a storage room meet-cute, careers that are worlds apart, instant attraction, romantic moments, and undeniable chemistry. The writing is sharp and smooth. The characters are quirky, charismatic, and endearing. And the plot is a delightful blend of drama, emotion, snappy dialogue, fame, fortune, stardom, tender moments, friendship, and love. more
The Love Theorem is available also in audiobook with duet narration. . more
I really enjoyed this book. I'm a big Camilla Isley fan. As I was reading chapter one, I felt like the book was familiar. By chapter two, I realized that's because Love Theorem is "To the Stars and Back" from Camilla's First Comes Love Series. Loved it the first time and enjoyed it just as much the second time. more
- Very insta-lovey- I didn’t get any chemistry between the mcs- Short, very little plot- No depth to the story- PG13 (I’ve read spicier YA books)[I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. ]. more
The fourth book in the ‘First comes Love’ series by Camilla Isley features Christian, a famous actor and eight time winner of sexiest man of the world award and Lana, a scientist, who has never heard of him before. Which for him, is like a dream come true. I liked this one a little less than the previous two books. It still was a good book, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like a lot of things could have been handled differently and some things just didn’t make a lot of sense for me. It felt intentional to create more drama, which wouldn’t have been necessary for the story. more
⭐️⭐️⭐️. 5I thought this book was super cute. I literally know nothing about science or STEM but I love these kinds of books lol. The only thing that could’ve made this book better was to add more smut IMO. Overall I would totally recommend ◡̈ . more
I'm not sure how this got on my TBR pile, because it isn't a book I would typically read. But it did make it, and I did read it. My final verdict is - less than an average - 2 stars at best. Which is unfortunate because the writing style was fun and quirky. The plot line started out strong and I was entertained. more
I have devoured this book in a couple of very short hours, and loved every single second of it. I also love the details being shared in the note by the author at the end, of what books 5 and 6 in the series will be bringing especially book 5 and no this is going to be a very long wait potentially for me to get my hands on it. But back to what really is a standalone book four in Camilla Isley's excellent First Comes Love series, it does feature short cameos from the main characters else where in the series, but the main focus is on Lana, and Christian Slater. Ok Christian has been mentioned and featured in some of the previous book, but equally we have never got this up close and personal with him before and the majority of the book is from this incredibly sexy mega film starts perspective. We really do get to know him incredibly well and I would have happily kicked Lana out of the way to have a shot at him myself. more
Camilla Isley has been in my reading radar for some time now. This is the fourth one in her 'First Come Love' series but can absolutely be read as a standalone. An easy, quirky read that will keep you glued to the end even if you are quite sure of the Cinderella trope ending. From a storage room meet-cute, there springs an unlikely relationship -- a rocket scientist and a film star -- that involves a lot of laughter and hurdles, of course. Christian's struggles to date a girl who is unaware of his fame (he didn't even have to lie) and Lana's baby steps into a celebrity's life was quite hilarious to read. more
The story is interesting and the writing is captivating. It was an easy read. I just wish she had focused a bit more on the first part when she didn`t know he was famous. It would have been funnier. more
I’ve not read any books by Camilla Isley before, but The Love Theorem sounded like a lot of fun (scientist meets actor in supplies closet, what a great meet cute. ). I enjoyed this book right from the first page. I was thrown immediately into the story, and very quickly liked Lana. I can relate so much to being an outnumbered female in a science field. more
"Emotional and physical distress mingle in the shadows, making it hard to discern what's real from what's imaginary. "What to expect/Triggers:- Insta-Love- Dual P. O. V- Car Crash- Cheating Trope (but not by main characters)- Hidden Identity Lana is an engineering Ph. D. more
The Love Theorem by Camilla IsleyThis book was so fun. It is part of a series, but you can read it as a standalone. Things I am here for:Lana is a literal Rocket Scientist. Yay women in STEM. Christian wanting to do everything he can to cherish Lana. more

I LOVED the concept of this book to the point where i couldn't put it down. I do think it got borderline cringey at some points but majority of the book went like a breeze. more
Entertaining, STEM romcomLana is a 28-year-old PhD candidate in the field of rocket science. Christian is a 32-year-old, world-famous actor, who is frequently awarded the tabloid encomium, "sexiest man alive. " Their Meet Cute occurs in a supply closet in a ritzy hotel in LA. He is running away from the paparazzi. She is hiding in the closet crying her eyes out because her BFF and boyfriend are having a sleazy sexual encounter in a room in the hotel. more
To the Stars and Back is the 4th book in Camilla Isley’s First Comes Love series. As this was my first experience with Isley’s work, I haven’t listened to the other books in the series. I don’t think it impacted my enjoyment at all. This was a delightfully low-angst, opposites-attract love story. Perfect if you’re in the mood for a closed door romance. more
I really enjoyed this read, and had a hard time putting it down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨🚪 (closed door)Lana and Christian meet in the most adorable way, with them both hiding out in a hotel broom closet, but for very different reasons. Lana has discovered her long-time boyfriend and best friend sleeping together, and Christian is hiding from the paparazzi. These two couldn’t be more different - Lana is a PhD student in aerospace engineering, who doesn’t even own a tv. Christian Slade is an extremely famous, British, Hollywood actor, in the center of the limelight - and Lana has no clue who he is. more

To the Stars and Back was a fabulous,sweet and funny read. Camilla Isley is one of my favourite authors, I always know I am going to love her every word. Christian,a famous Holywood actor, meets Lana, a beautiful girl who doesn't know who he is, in a hotel storage room and they instantly clicked. They aren't ready to face the world and they find comfort in the each other company. Our main characters couldn't be more different,a movie star and a rocket scientist,it would never work but on the contrary their relationship easily develops from acquaintances to something more and I really enjoyed to follow their journey. more
To the Stars and Back is the fourth book in the First Comes Love series. It is still a standalone. I have read the other four, but I did not read them in order and they all stand alone. Christian has appeared in previous books though. Christian is a movie star, running from the paparazzi he ends up in a hotel room storage room closet to hide and finds a woman, Lana, in there crying because she just found her boyfriend and friend going into a hotel room together. more
Lana, an astrophysicist, and Christian, Hollywood’s most in-demand actor, have a meet cute in a hotel broom closet. The set up for this novel should have led to an enjoyable rom com, but alas . . . Instead, the book was awkwardly paced, with everything happening instantaneously for the characters. more
