Love on the Brain

Neuroscientist Bee has the opportunity of a lifetime when she is selected to lead a project between NIH and NASA, and she couldn’t be more ecstatic…until she realizes that her co-lead is Levi. He hated her during their Ph.D. program, and she’s had enough of the overconfident men in her field. As the project progresses, Bee finds herself becoming closer to Levi and considers that she may have misinterpreted his cool exterior.

This was a cute and nerdy romance, and I adored Bee and Levi’s relationship. They each had their own anxieties that kept them from opening up to each other, but once they trusted one another, the relationship blossomed. I enjoyed Bee’s point of view and how she expertly dealt with men challenging her intelligence and competency as a female scientist. Bee wasn’t afraid to stand up for herself, although it took several setbacks for her to gain this confidence. This was a fun and empowering romance, and I look forward to Ali Hazelwood’s future novels!
