I really enjoy the STEM aspects of the romances by Ali Hazelwood.  Deep End has two other aspects. First, the main character Scarlet is a competitive athlete at the college and Olympic level, as is her love interest. Second, she and her partner are both fans of BDSM. I have read much more dark BDSM […]
The Under the Mistletoe Collection Series is a group of five short stories about an hour and a half to two hours in length all from different authors in the Under the Mistletoe Collection Series. I enjoyed the Valentines Day series in a similar format and was excited to try out a few new authors […]
I had a lot of fun with Cruel Winter With You. It begins in the present but flashes back to when Marc was born. Marc is Jamie’s best friend’s little brother. Little stories and memorable events over their lives where they spend a fair amount of time together over the years build the relationship. Jamie […]
Branching out from her smart new adult romances, Ali Hazelwood’s book, Bride is a paranormal romance that harks back to the vampire/werewolf craze of the 2000’s. As a huge fan of Vampires (sorry Were lovers), I was excited to read a fresh take on the subject. Misery Lark lives between worlds. Although she is a […]
Not in Love didn’t feel like other Ali Hazelwood books I have read. At first, it felt like a porn over plot type I used to read. Rue and Eli start as a chance hookup and quickly find out they are on opposite sides of a corporate takeover.  I was more interested in the corporate […]
Ali Hazelwood is a genius when it comes to the Smart Romance genre. She doesn’t simply pay lip service to her subject, such as with a bio-physicist heroine that never actually does anything bio-physicist-y (yup, that is a word). The science she writes about is always an integral part of the story and the characters […]
I’m all in for a stem world. The academics and politics fascinate me. Ok, the misogyny and treatment of women also infuriates me. The world in Love, Theoretically, is connected to some of the author’s other books, which was only recognizable in a very brief mention near the end. Elsie loves her work and she […]
I always enjoy the books by this author. I realize now they have have some similarities. The characters are based in interesting science study or work. The female is talented, smart and has not had good experiences with men. She has focused on her intellectual life more than her emotional one. Sometimes they have good […]
The final STEMinist Novellas is Below Zero.  The audios are releasing before the ebooks by 3 months or so. The audio is about half the length of a regular audio.  I still wish these were full length books and we got more development. The past and present timelines are utilized here as in the first […]
I’m continuing with the STEMinist Novellas . The audios are releasing before the ebooks by 3 months or so. The audio is about half the length of a regular audio. I did see the pages for this one listed as 312 in one place, which is a full book in my mind. The first book, Under […]
