My
Thoughts:
Under One Roof: Liam and Mara inherit the same house,
and neither is willing to budge on dividing it so they end up living together. Opposites
loath each other Liam’s employed by big oil, and Mara’s an environmentalist, but
there’s more to that story. Their bickering over little things like who stole
the creamer made me laugh. Of course, as they get to know each other they find
out their assumptions may not have been correct and there’s more than a spark
of attraction. Sexy dreaming, and lots of wanting from afar. This was a slow-burn-to-scorcher
kind of romance.

Stuck with You: Sadie spent a day with Erik, and they
had an immediate connection that ended in a steamy, lust filled night that she
thought would lead into something profound and lasting. However, the next day
Sadie hears things about Erik and her heart crashes. Fast forward three weeks
and it’s her worst nightmare: she’s stuck in the elevator with him.
I was a little disappointed with the way Sadie jumped to
conclusions after hearing what her boss said and didn’t even check with Erik to
get his side of the story. A lot of heartache could’ve been avoided. I
did love their initial meetup and the immediate, intense attraction between
them. This is a romance, so I knew they’d eventually get everything sorted. 3.5

Below Zero: Five years ago, Hannah and Ian had an
immediate connection, enamored with each both physically and professionally.
They spend an afternoon debugging code, with the attraction between them brewing,
which leads to a hot and lusty encounter! Hannah won’t agree to anything but a
physical relationship, so they go their separate ways. I had to shake my head
at Hannah.
They meet again when Hannah gets her dream job at NASA where
Ian works, but it’s not smooth sailing as Hannah thinks that Ian has sabotaged
her project. However, it’s Ian who comes
for her when she’s trapped in an icy crevasse, waiting for death.
Loved this steamy second chance romance! Ian had my heart from
the beginning and I could understand why Hannah had her walls up. 4 Stars
I enjoyed all three of the STEMinist novellas! I listened to
them last year when they were released as audios only but did a re-read when
they came out in this new bundled book, Loathe to Love You, and I think
I liked them even more the second time around. They had just right amount of spice,
very hot stuff, but not too much, and they were a lot of fun! I thought for the short number of pages the
characters were well developed and I was invested in each of their HEAs. There’s
even an extra bonus chapter at the end, a nice epilogue for all three couples.
