Review: Not in Love

✩✩✩✩✩

Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.

Eli Killgore and his business partners want Kline, period. Eli has his own reasons for pushing this deal through—and he’s a man who gets what he wants. With one burning exception: Rue. The woman he can’t stop thinking about. The woman who's off-limits to him.

Torn between loyalty and an undeniable attraction, Rue and Eli throw caution out the lab and the boardroom windows. Their affair is secret, no-strings-attached, and has a built-in deadline: the day one of their companies will prevail. But the heart is risky business—one that plays for keeps.

Genre: contemporary romance

Publication date: June 2024

Mature content: yes

Review: Loved it! Not in Love is a bit heavier on the sex scenes that most other Ali Hazelwood books, so it may not be a book for everyone, but if you can overlook that you are left with two very interesting main characters and a swoon-worthy love story.

I loved Rue and Eli, both alone and together. It's obviously they are scarred, they both have past issues that, for better or worse they deal with in their own way, but that just makes them more realistic to me. On top of that, I also like the idea behind the plot very much - that there's always someone out there perfect for you, that will accept and love you just the way you are. 

Recommended! 

Happy readings!
