What is this thing about biting each other when felt like and that could make the pair more romantic? And what is a knot? If the knot really hindered an inter species sex, maybe would have accepted but MATE SEX?!I am never buying that. I hated these two parts.


All points for my girl, Misery. She is confused, she is a nerd, she is a coder and she has a big unyielding heart. Lowe was okay but his alpha nature and his paternal love for his sis was beautiful. However, for me I could not love him as strongly as I loved Levi or Jonathan Turner. Turner was the best nerdy MMC possible.
I love how Ali Hazelwood works on slow burn romance, how she makes a strong nerdy sciency female character. I, being, a microbiologist gets so many nostalgic moments while Ali explains bio. It’s a feast to my eyes. I feel nerdy women in STEM are so powerful a choice to be someone’s main character.
Anyways, Serena is a lovely side character and Alex too. Looking forward to more Koen and Serena stuffs, if the final book really deals about that!
