Following the success of her debut novel, The Love Hypothesis, Ali Hazelwood delivers a delightful collection of romantic stories in Loathe to Love You. These novellas, published in January 2023, entertain the readers while they wait for her next book, Love on the Brain.
Packaged as a single volume with a bonus chapter, the collection features three STEMinist heroines – strong, independent women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics – who are also relatable with their vulnerabilities.
All the light-hearted narratives follow a charming enemies-to-lovers trope.
In Under One Roof, an environmental engineer and a lawyer working for an oil company become unlikely roommates, sparking undeniable chemistry.
Stuck With You throws two rival civil engineers together in a stuck elevator, forcing them to confront their feelings.
Finally, Below Zero finds an aerospace engineer stranded in the Arctic, relying on her nemesis (and former colleague) for rescue.
Beyond the romantic entanglements, the importance of supportive female friendships shines through. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah, despite their differences, maintain a strong bond, offering encouragement and understanding one another.
With a touch of humor, a sprinkle of spice, and a unique time-shifting narrative style, Loathe to Love You provides a perfect escape for readers seeking light-hearted romance.
The bonus chapter adds an extra layer of anticipation for future stories from this talented author.
Should I start dating again? Yeah. I should. Except that . . . men. No, thank you!
