Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Perfection in 112-pages!!!
Ali Hazelwood taught me something last year. A very important something. If you’ve read The Love Hypothesis, you may know exactly what I am talking about.
Essentially, Hazelwood taught me that steamy STEM romances are definitely something I am into!
Luckily for me and others like me, while patiently awaiting Hazelwood’s 2022-full length release Love on the Brain, there are three all new STEM novellas to enjoy.
Under One Roof is technically the first of these novellas, but after reading this one, I would say that they can really be read in any order.
In this one we follow Mara, an environmental engineer, who moves to D.C. post-graduate school after inheriting half of a house from her academic mentor.
The other half of the house is owned by said mentor’s extremely dreamy nephew Liam, who just so happens to be an attorney for big-oil.
Liam expresses from the start, with all the swagger he can muster, that he is not down for a random roommate.
Unfortunately for him, Mara is not taking no for an answer. She really doesn’t have the option to say no with her new job in D.C. starting soon and she literally hasn’t the money to find another place. Plus, she has just as much legal right to the premises as he does.
After they move in together, anger and annoyance eventually leads to sparks. You know the drill.
Y’all, how did Hazelwood make me feel so invested in only 112-pages?! Seriously, how?!
I did listen to the audiobook for this one and the narration was straight-up fabulous. Loved, loved, loved. I cannot wait to get to the other two novellas!!
