Truly good
The media could not be loaded. Out of the three stories, my favourite was Under One Roof due to its enemies to lovers + forced proximity thing but also the story worked out really well. My least favourite was Stuck with You, not because it was written poorly(I love Ali's writing) but I found it a bit flat and didn't find much chemistry between them otherwise all was well.🤌🏻

It felt real despite being fiction. Masterpiece
One for each couple and a bonus for their chemistry. The back and forth chronology was difficult to keep track of but the stories were worth it.

Lovely
Ah this collection of three novellas that have interconnected characters plus a bonus chapter! Going blindly into the book, I later realised what STEM stands for. STEM is an acronym for the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. Oh and the book comes with a pretty cover!Well this was my first read from the author. Believe it or not, yes, I live under a rock and I haven't read the famous Love Hypothesis or Love on the Brain. So one can guess the excitement level I had for finally reading something from the popular author! And now I know why she's so popular. It's because she's so good at it. Effortless writing, words that are just melodious and dreamy to read.The plots for all three stories are somewhat similar- forced proximity! Mara, Sadie and Hannah are friends first, scientists always. All three of them can agree on this universal truth: when it comes to love and science, opposites attract, and rivals make you burn...In "Under One Roof", an environmental engineer, Mara gets stuck as a roommate to a detestable big-oil lawyer. In "Stuck With You", a civil engineer, Sadie gets stuck with her nemesis, in a New York Elevator! In "Below Zero", a NASA aerospace engineer, Hannah, lies injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station and the only one person willing to rescue her is her longtime rival. We have a bonus chapter to this book as well that is a cute addition!The writing is cute, really attractive, interesting, racy, making me anticipate what's coming next and. It is one book that I was delighted to read. My favourite story among the three was the first one, Under One Roof. I'll definitely read other books from the author now.

CHEESY
The book does not differ from the author's last books They are all the same with same kind of stories but with different names. It's not worth reading if you are really looking for something new in a romantic book.

Ali Hazelwood is romance queen
For me Under One Roof was the best amongst the all three since I loved the banter, enemies to lovers aspects of it. And then the way book progresses ahead with very smooth.I practically am going to read everything this author has to write ever. She is one of my favourite romance authors of all time. I think we really need more STEM novels written by women and men both.

A quick steamy novellas!
LOATHE TO LOVE YOU - ALI HAZELWOODAli Hazelwood the author of the best selling The Love Hypothesis comes out with a collection of three novellas in her latest book Loathe to Love.All the 3 novellas feature women in STEM – three closest friends who are engineer’s by profession and their loathing for love.UNDER ONE ROOF - 4⭐This was my favourite amongst all. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity and witty banter between Mara and Liam is perfect for some downtime.STUCK ON YOU - 3⭐Told in alternating timelines, insta love between Sadie and Erik and now stuck alone in a NYC lift .BELOW ZERO - 3⭐Features Hannah a NASA aerospace engineer working on Mars expedition. Loved the plot and would hv been a solid 4 had there not been any comparison between Mars rocks and other surfaces to body parts while in bed🙈Nonetheless if looking for a break from your usual reading and something light with female protagonist as kick ass ladies then do check out Loathe to love with some good steamy scenes .

I wish the stories were longer
I have read all the books of this authors’. These are three mini stories that intertwine lightly. I really do wish the author explored these characters into their own books because I really fell in love with the characters. Their Stories were all very different and very well done.

Three sweet cosy STEM romances for the price of one!
4.5 -⭐⭐⭐⭐💫"Is this why you came to rescue me? Because you were thinking about it? Because you have been secretly pining for years?""I don't know that there was anything secret about is."Loath to Love You is a bound collection of three adult rom-coms, all building off a focus in the STEM world of academia. Each novella focuses on a member within a friend group, Mara, Hannah, and Sadie as they are confronted with men where miscommunication creates delicious slow burn tension over a trapped elevator, forced roommate agreement, and arctic crevasse.Okay so I'm gonna give some overarching points before taking a bit of time to discuss each story. These are quick slow burn romances that heavily use miscommunication and flashbacks. Personally I enjoyed some of the situational irony because it was so obvious the feelings were there. There is spice in each, which I would rate at around 2 spicy pepper out of 5 spicy pepper. It's not all over the story but it builds to it. These also all contain HEAs and a bonus chapter is included with the bound copy that adds a cheery on top. Okay now onto each!In "Under One Roof," Mara managed to nail a job as a scientist for the Environmental Protection Agency, which is her dream job. Unfortunately the cost of living on top of debt means making the move is not easy. When her late Phd advisor leaves her a house in the will, she thinks it's a sign...until she realizes she's not the only one on the deed. A hot shot lawyer working for a powerful oil and gas company is the perfect roommate right?The tension in this one is an utter delight as they struggle to live with each other and start to realize what they hated about the other actually becomes endearing.In "Stuck With You," engineer Sadie finds herself trapped in an elevator late a night with none other than Eric Nowak, the man she despises, the man who betrayed her...except what if there is more?The novella had me LOVING Eric. This miscommunication is heaviest here and I wanted to shake Sadie a few times but the chemistry between these two is HAWT.Finally, in "Below Zero" Hannah has receives a once in a lifetime opportunity to conduct research for NASA that she could only dream of...yet when she becomes stuck in perilous condition while working she finds herself turning to the one man, and fellow engineer, who has constantly been a thorn in her side, Ian.I am a sucker for a mortal peril situation so this book won me other there. I feel this book uses miscommunication the most and I did with Ian would be more verbose with his feelings he actions did speak largely.Overall, I would say these are a nice snack in between Ali Hazelwood launches. They're quick bites filled with tension, romance, and a hint of spice that will keep you going. I personally had a blast!

Lovely!!
I was unsure at first because short stories aren’t really my thing but I gave it a chance because I love Ali and she did not disappoint! And what a cute happy ending, this was such a fun read.
