Under One Roof

De: Ali Hazelwood

Narrado por: Emma Wilder

A USA Today Bestseller!

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella…

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.

To listen to Sadie and Hannah’s stories look for the novellas Stuck with You and Below Zero, coming soon, available first on audio!

“This tackles one of my favorite tropes—Grumpy meets Sunshine—in a fun and utterly endearing way...I loved the nods towards fandom and romance novels, and I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended!”—Jessica Clare, New York Times bestselling author

STEM + Roommates + Steam

This novella was adorable and then STEAMY and then adorable again in the epilogue and features another adorably quirky Ali Hazelwood heroine. Hazelwood is adept at capturing highly intelligent characters who obliviously misread the cues of their love interests. Mara's internal dialogue had me chuckling and grinning. The matchmaker from the grave angle was quite fun. Even in the midst of all the adorableness, Hazelwood was able to work in discussions of climate change and the treatment of women in the workplace.

Content Warning: grief, emotional child neglect

Voice tanked the story.

I'm sorry, I couldn't do it. The voice actor sounded too much like a news castor from the 1940s. It made me hate the story with a burning passion.

Cute

I enjoyed reading this story. It was short but sweet and kept my interest. Sometimes I just like a short romance 3-5 hours long to listen to . I search audible for these

Short and sweet.

I am invested in her next books. The narrator did great. Add another narrator please.

Only 13 chapters

I didn’t pay a lot of attention to the length of this, but I felt like I was always missing a lot.
