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.

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.
Absolutely loved this book so much!! A funny and steady pace read. Characters are very in depth and the growth throughout the book is humbling.
I… idk… I’m so bad at writing reviews because I know authors put their heart and soul into their writing or at least maximum effort and I feel bad effectively “bashing” it. So I’ll say this... I didn’t hate this book. I’ve seen a lot of reviews talking about how the characters truly aren’t in love, like the title suggests, that they are more just in lust. I would agree that it definitely starts with very much just lust like vibes, but I’m a hopeless romantic so I bought onto the love by the end. I think for me, it was simply that the book didn’t have much of a plot until chapter 30… I’m sorry Ali… I could see the plot in the background of the beginning and middle chapters there… just sort of chilling in the corner, drink in hand, but it didn’t truly join the party until chapter 30. Once it showed up, I didn’t want to put the book down. So I’ll happily give 3 stars, I just wanted a bit more earlier on. If you want more sex than plot then this book is for you. I personally like an even balance.
