I love Levi and his growth, his recognition that Bee needs time and patience after all of the insecurity in her life.

Hmmm. The romance was cute and I really like the use of facts and humour by narrator and characters. It was predictable but I don’t mind.

I love Hazelwood’s whip-smart, no-hold-barred take on the patriarchy and STEM, which she manages to achieve with thoroughly three-dimensional characters, emotional intelligence, intrigue, and heat. Even with the harsher elements of the real word that were involved, it was still a well-paced, fun, hot read that made me think AND feel warm & fuzzy.

I love Levi, and I love Adam. But Olive >>> Bee for sure. Moving on.
For a neuroscientist working on a NASA-funded project, Dr. Bee Königswasser is quite the oblivious Damsel in Distress™ when it comes to her supposed grad school nemesis, Dr. Levi Ward. She is Tiny and Clumsy and Alternative Hair. He is Massive and Closed Off and Beautiful Green Eyes. Levi avoided her in grad school at all costs because He Hated Her So Much And There Is No Other Explanation.
It’s your typical enemies-to-lovers romance, but I appreciated that the “enemies” part didn’t fester long. We all know the “enemies” trope is never that accurate considering at least one party is secretly in love the entire time. In this case, it’s glaringly obvious to everyone except our stubborn MC.
I enjoyed this novel, but it didn’t give me all of the swooning and butterflies that TLH gave me. Which, understandably, is hard to achieve. Still, I think it has long been a dream of mine to score a NASA scientist who named his cat Schrödinger.
Extra points for the extra steam in this one, though 🔥
