About the Book
A forbidden, secret affair proves that all’s fair in love and science—from New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.
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.

My Review
Not in Love is probably the hottest book Ms. Hazelwood has ever written.
What you can expect from the story:
- Two person POV*
- Smart, strong FMC*
- Dominant, Clark Kent-type MMC*
- Steamy Chemistry
- Possible corporate espionage?
- A little mystery
- A whole lot of sexy times
Not in Love has the signature Ali Hazelwood snark and STEMinist heroines. The book is well written and the storyline held my interest. But I had a hard time relating to Rue. I felt she wasn’t as approachable or as emotive as previous FMCs. It felt like Eli was the star of the book and Rue a supporting character, for which I was glad for the dual points-of-view.
This book is definitely NOT suitable for work because the alone time scenes with Rue and Eli kept me blushing fiercely and the expletive-heavy dialogue had me laughing out loud, very loudly.
Not in Love is a solid read and I’m looking forward to the next Ali Hazelwood book.
