‘Loathe to Love You’ is comprised of a trio of STEMinist novellas: 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 burnโ€ฆ โ– UNDER ONE ROOF โ– A scientist should never cohabitate with her annoyingly hot nemesisโ€”it leads to combustion. As an environmental engineer, Mara knows all about the delicate nature of ecosystems. They require balance. And leaving the thermostat alone. And not […]

This book. THIS BOOK!!!!! 15/10, highly recommend. The best book I’ve read in 2023. Itโ€™s ‘Six Feet Under’ meets ‘You’ve Got Mail’, set in a unique and immersive fantasy world.

Hands down one of the best books Iโ€™ve read this year. Snarky dragons, unique magical abilities, lovable side characters, and on top of all that, a badass FMC with a disability, and a MMC that literally wields shadows. Sign me up. Violet & Xaden are perfect. Dain is the worst, and OMG Liam, sweet Liam. (Sigh) I will forever be scarred by the battle of Athebyne. โค๏ธ The cliffhanger ending left me reeling, and I canโ€™t wait for book 2.
