About the Book

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new steamy, STEMinist novella…

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?

Review

Below Zero was a book where I quickly fell in love with the romance. Hannah and Ian were opposite, and from their first interaction, I was sold. The easiest way to describe them is to say that Hannah is a black cat archetype, and Ian is a cinnamon roll.

This book has several time jumps, which don’t bother me—especially since it was weaved perfectly into the story. Hannah and Ian met years ago and prior to the major event in this story, there was a misunderstanding and Hannah is quite upset with him. Hannah can’t be faulted for her reaction because, in the context of the story, it made sense. Regardless, Ian was determined to ensure that she didn’t get hurt. I was begging for more from them. Unfortunately, this is a novella. The story moves quickly. Although the Ian and Hannah shine there’s so much of their story that felt untouched.

Final Thoughts

Below Zero has several high points for me. I giggled to myself and truly loved Hannah and Ian. The space terminology went over my head several times, however, it was easy to overlook. The only real problem I had was that the book felt like only the beginning for these characters, and there was much that could still be explored.
