Enemy or Lover? π§ͺπ₯ Why choose when you can have both?
Ali Hazelwood is back with a bang, continuing her reign as the queen of "Women in STEM" romance. Following the massive success of The Love Hypothesis, Love on the Brain, and Love, Theoretically, her latest release, Not in Love, takes us into the high-stakes world of food science and corporate takeovers.
The Story: Meet Rue Siebert, a talented engineer at Kline, a rising food science startup. Rue has worked hard for everything she has: a soaring career and exclusive lab access for her personal projects. Most importantly, she has the support of her boss, who also happens to be her best friend. But her stable world is about to be upended.
Enter Eli Killgore. Eli and his business partners are planning a hostile takeover of Kline—a move that puts Rue’s career and loyalty directly in the line of fire.
The Arrangement: Despite being on opposing sides of a corporate war, Rue and Eli are hit with an undeniable, magnetic attraction. Realizing they can’t stay apart, they strike a secret, no-strings-attached arrangement with a built-in deadline: the day the fight for Kline is settled. But as the stakes rise, "no strings" becomes a lot harder to maintain.
Why We Loved It: Readers will notice that Ali Hazelwood’s writing style has truly matured in this latest installment. While it keeps her signature wit, Not in Love feels steamier, grittier, and more emotionally complex. Her background as a neuroscience professor shines through once again, providing an authentic and fascinating backdrop to the intense office politics and brewing romance.
If you loved her previous books but are looking for something with a bit more "edge," this is the one for you!
