Be sure you have a fan ready before dipping into this super-steamy contemporary romance! Ali Hazelwood brings a significant amount of sizzle to the story of scientist Rue Siebert and financier Eli Killgore in her novel Not in Love.

Rue is a biotech engineer working on an issue with deeply personal roots: extending the stability and shelf life of fresh foods. She keeps mostly to herself, choosing to imerse herself in her work and spend time with only a few close friends. That said, Rue is not timid in setting personal satisfaction for her physical needs.

Enter Eli Killgore.

Eli is immediately enraptured by Rue, but their one night together is shoved off track from the start when he interrupts a heated exchange between Rue and her brother. Disappointed, Eli escorts Rue home with zero expectations of a second chance. And neither expect to see the other the very next day in the conference room of Rue’s workplace.

The attraction between Rue and Eli is undeniable, but so are Rue’s feelings of loyalty to her boss and friend. She sees any engagement with Eli as a betrayal and does everything in her power to steer clear. But the chemistry is indisputable, and soon, neither Eli nor Rue can walk away.

Not in Love is a passionately wild ride that kept my eyes glued to the page. Unrelentingly spicy and incredibly readable. Don’t burn your fingers turning the pages!
