A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesis – it leads to combustion.
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….
As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not stealing someone else's food. And other rules Liam, her detestable big-oil lawyer of a roommate, knows nothing about. Okay, sure, technically she's the interloper. Liam was already entrenched in his aunt's house like some glowering grumpy giant when Mara moved in, with his big muscles and kissable mouth just sitting there on the couch tempting respectable scientists to the dark side…but Helena was her mentor and Mara's not about to move out and give up her inheritance without a fight.
The problem is, living with someone means getting to know them. And the more Mara finds out about Liam, the harder it is to loathe him…and the easier it is to love him.
Nothing like a little rivalry between scientists to take love to the next level.

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….
Oh, these were both really fun to read! I love Ali Hazelwood's writing, and her stories about women in STEM, and the romances that they have. While these are different from first two full length novels, that they're novellas, and Liam is a lawyer, they were really excellent to read!
This series, thus far, is about a group of 3 friends who are all engineers, it looks like, of various passions. Mara is working for the government, and Sadie is working for a architecture firm. And these books aren't long enough to focus on the science and the romance, the science is a part of their lives.
Both of these deal with forced proximity romance. Mara and Liam living in the same house, and Sadie and Erik are stuck in an elevator. And they both did interesting things with time-Under One Roof had a chapter in the present, and then flashed back and worked it's way forward. Stuck With You alternated between the present and the past!
All in all, I really enjoyed these romances, they were swoon worthy, and I really enjoyed reading about these characters! If we could see them again, that'd be fantastic, but if not, it was lovely to spend this time with them! I just had a really great time reading these novellas!
I loved reading these two, and I can't wait for Below Zero to come out so I can read it as well!
