An enemies-to-lovers STEMinst romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically. This June, Ali Hazelwood proves that all’s fair in love and science in her latest academia-set novel.

Rue Siebert’s life is stable. She has a great job as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in her field, working on a passion project in food science, and she’s finally financially secure. She gets to work alongside her two best friends and do what she loves every day.
Rue’s world comes crashing down when an outside company sets its sights on Kline. Its leader? A sexy businessman named Eli Kilgore. Who just so happens to be the man she almost slept with the night before he set foot in her workplace.
Little does Rue know that Eli’s interest in Kline comes from a deeply personal—and vengeful—history with Kline’s founder. But passion knows no bounds, and it’s not long before Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab—consequences be damned. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies prevails.
My Thoughts
Just to put it out there I have read all of Ali’s books and aside from 1 love them all and this one is not any different! One thing I did like was that at the beginning of this book Ali put a disclaimer that this one is not like her others and while I agree with that you still get everything you love about her books. Things I loved in this one; he fell first, like right away, the backstory for Rue which is a huge part of her character and the spicy scenes!! Highly recommend this one if you have enjoyed any of her previous works or just want to give her a try but know this is open door. Thank you Berkley and Netgalley for my gifted copy of review! I also preordered this one because I loved it so much! Out now!!!
