Fiction. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella� Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level. 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� Logically, Sadie knows that civil engineers are supposed to build bridges. However, as a woman of STEM she also understands that variables can change, and when you are stuck for hours in a tiny New York elevator with the man who broke your heart, you earn the right to burn that brawny, blond bridge to the ground. Erik can apologize all he wants, but to quote her rebel leader�she�d just as soon kiss a Wookiee. Not even the most sophisticated of Sadie�s superstitious rituals could have predicted such a disastrous reunion. But while she refuses to acknowledge the siren call of Erik�s steely forearms or the way his voice softens when he offers her his sweater, Sadie can�t help but wonder if there might be more layers to her cold-hearted nemesis than meet the eye. Maybe, possibly, even burned bridges can still be crossed�. To listen to Mara and Hannah�s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof, available now, and Below Zero, coming soon�available first on audio!.… (more)

I enjoy Hazelwood’s protagonists’ friendships,
Petite Sadie gets stuck in the lift on her way out of work with the last person she wants to see; Eric Nowak (typical Viking - tall, blond, Danish). We're told in chapters, alternating between the present and three weeks ago, of their
We get glimpses of Mara (from the first novella) and Hannah (from the third novella), her friends who did their PhDs with her, when she calls them for advice. And there are some examples of how difficult it is as a woman to make headway in male-dominated fields like engineering and acadaemia; although Sadie embarrasses herself by assuming all men don't believe women can be engineers.
Fun but the short length compresses the timeline so the attraction seems like insta-love rather than something real and lasting.

ETA :What kind of sex are you having that you think teeth are part of a good cunnilingus session??? Please, I am begging you, find someone who didn't
The author has a wonderful sense of humour, and I love that her female leads are scientists and nerds. But they are also infuriating
This is the story of Erik and Sadie, who, if they weren't stuck in a lift together, would never get to the bottom of a major fallout between them many years before.
I usually swallow novels whole, but I had to enjoy this in meal size portions because it was a little to infuriating - you know the kind of romantic comedy I'm talking about?!
