About this audiobook

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella…

It will take the frosty terrain of the Arctic to show these rival scientists that their chemistry burns hot.

Mara, Sadie, and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. Though their fields of study might take them to different corners of the world, they can all agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract and rivals make you burn…
 
Hannah’s got a bad feeling about this. Not only has the NASA aerospace engineer found herself injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station—but the one person willing to undertake the hazardous rescue mission is her longtime rival.
 
Ian has been many things to Hannah: the villain who tried to veto her expedition and ruin her career, the man who stars in her most deliciously lurid dreams…but he’s never played the hero. So why is he risking everything to be here? And why does his presence seem just as dangerous to her heart as the coming snowstorm?
 
To listen to Mara and Sadie’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof and Stuck with You, available first on audio!

Ratings and reviews

4 stars — I found this one to feel a bit shorter than the other two novellas, and I will admit I wish I had a bit more time of Hannah and Ian together. Partially because I really loved the moments where they bonded in the past on that one day, and would have loved to see more and more… This narrator was good, but I enjoyed the other 2 much more. I found she had a good voice for Ian, but that her distinct voices for Mara and Sadie just weren’t as solid, so it was hard to keep track of who was

Overall I enjoyed this book. I listen to the audio version of this through my library and it was an enjoyable read. All of her books seem to center around the same style of writing and the same storyline as the others. It was a cute scientific/romance novella.

About the author

Ali Hazelwood is the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis, as well as the writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the U.S. to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience. She recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies her. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her two feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
