I have found a new trope that I am loving the hell out of. The brainy STEM romance that makes you think and absorb the true awesomeness of it all.
I love this style of romance and I know you will too! Check out this upcoming release I got to review and just save yourself by hitting that one-click! It’s weird, wacky, and wonderful all over.
Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
Publisher: Berkley (August 23, 2022)
ISBN-13: 978-0593336847
OVERVIEW:
Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project—a literal dream come true after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia—Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school—archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there’s only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?
Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood Review
God, I love brilliant writers. They tell a story in such a way that you cannot stop reading. Nothing droll or boring. Just loaded with enough nerdiness and whimsy that you are sucked in from the beginning!
This is a romance but we have to get their back story and feel all of that insecurity we had in school all over again. How did they meet? Why does Levi hate her? What happened to Bee that added such huge anxiety and stress to her life?
This is an enemies to lovers story and I could not put it down. The author’s excellence in her character development is truly a delight. I love the interactions and banter between all of them – fun and a bit wacky too. Even the self chatter was amusing.
Simply put, Love on the Brain is a delightful story that should not be missed. One of the easiest 5 star ratings in a while. It’s flipping bombastic! So much love for Levi too!
5 STARS!
