Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love Ali’s books. There I said it!
They’re funny, smart, and oh-so romantic.
First the flaws(ish).
I really wish Hazelwood would not mention how big the male protagonist is as often as she does. But it’s not a deal BIG enough to make me dislike her delightful prose (see what I did there?). I am also not a fan of very detailed sex scenes, but I have to give Ali credit for some very steamy stuff and the fact that her book is definitely not packed with those.
Now the good stuff.
Her characters are very human and hilariously funny while still full of heart. For the lovers of steam, Hazelwood plays very hard to get with a slow, slow burn romance. But when the couple finally gets to that point, heat really explodes. And it is heat with a lot of heart. The love really comes through along with the sensuality.
I love that she has written this series/collection about women in science/stem and that she’s not afraid to add professional lingo and then mix it up with some funny trivia and tidbits. The main character talks about nuclear fusion in the same sentence as she mentions the shiny vampires from Twilight or chunks of Gouda cheese (and with the same amount of passion).
I loved it!
Congrats Ali Hazelwood. You wrote another winner.
