![]() and yet, both this novella and its quirky and small protagonist achieve it with what seems like a natural ease. ![]() it's hard to be so short and yet so annoying. In a way, this book is almost impressive. ![]() You get the idea.Įven though I’ve felt so meh about these two novellas, you know I’m gonna read the third. Give us some characters who will fucking TALK TO EACH OTHER. Spice it up and throw in a short king who’s not slinging a literal horse cock. Maybe kick things off with a little friends w/ benefits action. So, this is where I end up: I’d really love to see something fresh from Ali Hazelwood. The fact that we didn’t have to wait until the last chapter for anything *wink wink* to happen was also appreciated (chapter 8 for my fellow whores, you’re welcome in advance). Before the “hate” part of their hate to love got in the way, I was genuinely tickled by their banter and the clear attraction that was there. Rolling back to the initial date that Erik took Sadie on for a sec-it was good. ![]() It was a very transformational hour, but the “boom, I’m in love” revelation that came out of it definitely felt forced. The plot switches back and forth between a 24 hour fling that Sadie and Erik share & another day that was a week? a month? later when they get trapped in an elevator together for…maybe an hour. But all that was canceled out by the instalove and lightning quick timeline of the story. Stuck with You gave the initial chemistry in Sadie and Erik’s relationship that I thought was missing from Under One Roof, for sure. I also think that the shorter format here is doing her characters a disservice. It seems like she only knows how to write one kind of story, or is at least MARRIED to using the same exact tropes in all her pairings.

To read Mara and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof, available now, and Below Zero, coming soon from Berkley!. Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed…. But while she refuses to acknowledge the siren call of Erik’s steely forearms or the way his voice softens when he offers her his sweater, Sadie can’t help but wonder if there might be more layers to her cold-hearted nemesis than meet the eye. Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie’s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader-she’d just as soon kiss a Wookiee. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn… Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. ![]() Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn… Logically, Sadie knows that ci Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level.
