Review: Under One Roof

✩✩✩✩✩

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.

Review: Ever since reading The Love Hypothesis (and loving it) , I've been anxiously awaiting for more Ali Hazelwood books. Under On Roof is a novella, not a full sized novel, but the writing style is exactly the same - and just as good.

 

 

   

 

 

I do wish the author had taken the time to extend the story a bit since, especially at the end, things seem to move too fast, but for a novella you can't really complain. I also had a few issues here and there with the plot (like why is Mara able to fix a microwave but not replace a broken fuse in the heating system), but I had so much fun with everything else I'm willing to overlook them...

 

It's great, can be read it in one sitting, leaves you with a smile on your face - what more can you want? Well, I want the other two novellas in the series to come quickly, as I can't wait to read them. 

Happy readings!
