A STEM Trio

 Loathe to Love You by Ali Hazelwood

This book contains three short stories, each about a different woman, who are all friends.

The first story, "Under One Roof," is about Mara. She inherited half of a house in Washington DC from her mentor. The other half of the house belongs to the mentor's nephew, Liam. They can't stand one another at first, but as time, in this case weeks, they start to warm up to one another. Ultimately, they have incredible sex because they fell in love.

The second is "Stuck With You," and this one is about Sadie. She lives in New York City, and is very superstitious. Like, eats the same thing and wears the same underwear when she is presenting a pitch because she attributes her first "win" to those things. It is because of this that she meets Erik, who just happens to work in her building. They end up spending a good portion of the day together before going back to his apartment for incredible sex. Then, she hates him due to a misunderstanding, until they are stuck in an elevator together, where they talk things out.

The third is "Below Zero" starring Hannah, a NASA engineer. She gets stuck in a crevasse in Norway, and Ian comes to rescue her. Five years prior, they hit it off, but she hurt his feelings when she wouldn't go to dinner with him. Fast forward to the present, he vetoes her project at NASA, which leads to her stuck in said crevasse. He rescues her, they have incredible sex.

Then there is a Bonus Chapter which is told by Liam, Erik, and Ian. It fills in a little bit of the what happens next that I, as a reader, always want to know.

In all, I have enjoyed reading this. It would be difficult to say which story I liked best because there were bits I loved in all three. 

Now the wait for her next book is on.
