Can't-Wait Wednesday: Not in Love

  

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they are books that have yet to be released. The meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.

This week I'm highlighting Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood.

From Goodreads: 

Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.

Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through—and he’s a man who gets what he wants. With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can’t stop thinking about. The woman who's off-limits to him.

Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business—one that plays for keeps.

I have read enough Ali Hazelwood books by this point that it's safe to say she's an auto-buy author for me, and I am super excited about her next book. This sounds like a return to what she does best - fun STEM romances with intelligent characters and sizzling chemistry, and in this books she promises an enemies-to-lovers story as well (which happens to be my favorite trope ever). I'm counting down the days!

Not in Love will be released on June 11, 2024.
