Mara gets the best news ever. She’s just received a surprise inheritance. A house, exactly where she wants to begin her post-grad career with the EPA in DC. However, as she prepares to move in, she realizes that she only owns half the house and the other owner, Liam, lives there. As if that wasn’t enough of a problem, he’s a corporate lawyer for a fossil fuel conglomerate. She can feel the tension building before she even gets to DC. But what’s a poor, homeless, environmental engineer to do? Surely, these two professionals can come to an agreement. Let’s find out.
Read if you like: STEM romance, enemies to lovers, slow burn, novellas, demi/ace representation, the silent and smart guy, the sassy and kind girl.
When our couple first meet it’s easy to see that there will be a lot of fun, feelings, and misunderstandings. Mara is hilarious and spunky while still being kind. Liam is a gorgeous emotional brick wall that you can’t help but want to hug, even if you also feel like punching him in the face. All their quick judgements lead the duo into an uncomfortable living situation until they actually have a conversation in the kitchen and things begin to warm between them. Like a house afire.

I’m loving these shorter books! Ali is an incredible writer. Somehow she manages to still make me fall in love with these characters and become so invested in their story and it is half the length of other books that just can’t quite get me hooked.
The banter was great but overall as a novella it’s hard to get into this dynamic and honestly the end weirded me out a bit??? Did like as they go progressively closer tho it was sweet

I like the two other books in the series more. I did feel the tension, and the story was fine, but I was left wanting *something* more at the end of the novella. More spicy moments? Any sort of indication of what the future holds? Rec the series, but this one was my least fave.
