Now excuse me while I go wipe that silly smile off my face and do some cheek-relaxing exercises. What can I say? I want more of Mara and Liam! But I guess it's a good thing when a story leaves you wanting more. Even though I enjoyed the story, there's something a little unsatisfying about how short it is. I don't read a lot of novellas because I'm always afraid the shorter page length will leave me wanting more. You can see how they would butt heads, to rather hilarious results. She's an environmental engineer, which makes it all the more funny when she finds out that her hottie roommate is a big-shot corporate lawyer for an oil company.
I love Hazelwood's focus on STEM females, and Mara was a feisty one. It's exactly to my style and I just want to soak it all up. It's witty, funny, slightly zany, and utterly delightful. Just like there are certain people you meet and instantly click with, that's exactly how I feel about her banter. With regards to the banter, Hazelwood really is my queen.
It's because it has all the hallmarks I've come to associate with Hazelwood: slightly outrageous premise, two main characters who are loveable if a bit clueless, and endless snarky banter that has me in stitches. While Under One Roof doesn't exactly break the mold in terms of the story itself, I still had so much fun with it. All I want to do is smile and laugh, and then my cheeks are sore by the time I'm a few chapters in. There's something about Ali Hazelwood's writing that just makes me so happy. To listen to Sadie and Hannah’s stories, look for the novellas Stuck with You and Below Zero, coming soon, available first on audio! And the more Mara finds out about Liam, the harder it is to loathe him…and the easier it is to love him. The problem is, living with someone means getting to know them. Liam was already entrenched in his aunt’s house like some glowering grumpy giant when Mara moved in, with his big muscles and kissable mouth just sitting there on the couch tempting respectable scientists to the dark side…but Helena was her mentor and Mara’s not about to move out and give up her inheritance without a fight.
Okay, sure, technically she’s the interloper. And other rules Liam, her detestable big-oil lawyer of a roommate, knows nothing about. 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….Īs an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. From the New York Times best-selling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella….Ī scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesis – it leads to combustion.
