This was my favorite of Ali Hazelwood's novellas because I felt it was the one where the premise lent itself most to conflict arising. Finding out that your mentor willed you a house? Incredible. Finding out that, technically speaking, she only owned half of that house and her nephew, who is currently living there, owns the other half? Well, that's understandably complicated. The fact that Mara is a scientist in DC makes sense as DC rent is through the roof and she would be remiss to give up the chance for free housing! Levi being a corporate lawyer, representing one of the companies Mara's entire career aims to discredit? Ironic. Forced proximity due to being stuck at home because of a snowstorm? Juicy.

I really enjoyed the chemistry between Mara and Liam. I felt that them being at odds in the beginning and then slowly thawing as months passed made complete sense. Essentially, the time lapse was better in this novella because they were forced to cohabitate the entire time.

If I was recommending short audiobooks, I would consider this one.

Would recommend this a thousand times over! Since it is a novella, it does come off as a little quick and choppy; however, I think it does illustrate the enemies-to-lovers progression well for how few pages there are. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out the novellas are in the same universe and have shared characters. I cannot wait to read her other novellas in e-book form (audios aren’t my cup of tea).
