Loathe to Love You is a collection of three novellas by Ali Hazelwood. We follow the stories of Mara and Liam, Sadie and Erik, and Hannah and Ian. Mara and Liam both inherit the same house and hate each other’s guts, but living so close together can change feelings. Sadie and Erik ignore each other due to some misinformation and miscommunication. But then they are stuck in an elevator. Hannah and Ian both work for NASA and Ian saves Hannah from freezing to death.
 
This book made me feel tingly as early as page 7! The sex scenes in this book are few, but steamy and well written. I still very much love reading about women in STEM, but I realized that novellas are just not really my thing. It always feelings like there is something missing. I loved to read the three different but somehow interwoven stories, but the depth was missing. Everything happened so fast and I wanted to know more about them! The bonus chapter at the end was quite nice, but not enough for me.
 
This book is a quick, steamy read. It was not bad, but novellas are just too short for me. But I still love Ali Hazelwood's book. They are nice to read.
