Under One Roof by Ali Hazelwood
3.0

Maybe because this is a novella, the story didn't really revolve around a STEM environment like Ali's usual novels. There's only a small mention that Mara (the female lead) is a scientist who just landed her dream job in D.C. Oh! and the male lead isn't a scientist either. This time, he's a lawyer!

As the title suggests, the overall story focuses on what happens between Mara and Liam, her new roommate in their shared house. However, I felt like the way Mara ended up living in that house felt a little forced and unnatural.
This book was published in 2022. I loved The Love Hypothesis, which came out the year before, but this one doesn't quite measure up to her debut. The spicy scenes are... spicy... but l'd say the sex scene was poorly written
