Not in Love
An Indie Next and a Hall of Fame LibraryReads Pick!
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.

2.7 This hurt. I love Ali but this wasn't my favorite. I just didn't connect to anyone in the story except maybe Eli. The storyline of the company and the loans was interesting, but I couldn't deeply invest in it. I think I kept reading for Eli's sake. I might not have been two feet planted in this book, but I did want him to be happy. (Also don't know why it says read twice. It was only the one time)
The female lead (already forgot her name) was a bit unbearable and boring but I loved Eli and his warmth.
I usually love anything Ali Hazelwood writes, but this was a miss for me. There were definitely parts that I enjoyed, but overall this has to be my least favorite book that Hazelwood has written. But that will not stop me from reading any of her future books.
Rue is a highly relatable character! Overall this book had a great mix of humor, relatability & a decent level of spice. It does border on some really tame bdsm notes, but ends on a very happy ending.
