Below Zero (The STEMinist Novellas #3) by Ali Hazelwood -- Restarting April 23rd 2024

[Brigia]

It will take the frosty terrain of the Arctic to show these rival scientists that their chemistry burns hot.

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 burn…

Hannah’s got a bad feeling about this. Not only has the NASA aerospace engineer found herself injured and stranded at a remote Arctic research station—but the one person willing to undertake the hazardous rescue mission is her longtime rival.

Ian has been many things to Hannah: the villain who tried to veto her expedition and ruin her career, the man who stars in her most deliciously lurid dreams…but he’s never played the hero. So why is he risking everything to be here? And why does his presence seem just as dangerous to her heart as the coming snowstorm?

To read Mara and Sadie’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof and Stuck with You available now from Berkley!

chapters 1 & 2: (view spoiler)[im loving it so farr. i love how on the first chapter you only get information on the main character, really good for setting her motivations up. and the second chapter wow just wow the love interest is so cute and i also rlly appreciate how ali has chosen to explain the meeting in one go instead of switching between timelines a million times just to explain one meeting
ps it didnt even taker her 2 chapters to mention how teeny tiny she is and what a giant he is (hide spoiler)]

[♡━━━Judit ━━♡]

chapters 3-end: (view spoiler)[ian was so right to veto her tho, I like that the consequences of the conflict werent explored that much, it would be more frustrating if it was, ian had very clear reasons to do what he did. i think this was my favorite novella out of the three of themmm (hide spoiler)]

Don't you just love all "big" all the men in these books are, "he is almost 8ft tall" like ugh.

He was right, but maybe she should have been told the reasons, why it was vetoed directly by the committee instead of being told by I-have-forgotten-his-name ( the downside of reading e-books, I remember very little)

[Brigia]

Hey guys, sorry I’m so late, I’m on vacation and didn’t have a chance to comment until now.

(view spoiler)[I liked both MCs, they were the most interesting of the series imo I agree, the time jumps were long enough to not be annoying. I’m not always a fan, it can interrupt the flow, but it worked for me here! (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Me, too! A smuggler dad is a cool story and I didn’t see that coming at all! It didn’t fit with the nerd stereotype and I loved that. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ They’re all really great together! You can see they will be close, no matter how far apart they live. (hide spoiler)]

Hi Danique, we’ve read the second book last week here. Not the first one, though, I read that one a while back. I would recommend reading them in order, even though they technically also work as stand-alones.
