From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis—with explosive results.
Bee Königswasser lives by a simple code: What would Marie Curie do? If NASA offered her the lead on a neuroengineering project - a literal dream come true - Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school - archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas... devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.
But when it comes time to actually make a move and put her heart on the line, there's only one question that matters: What will Bee Königswasser do?

Obviously I read a lot about Ali Hazelwood and ‘The Love Hypothesis’ in these last few months. So when I got the opportunity to read and review her new book ‘Love on the Brain’, I knew I couldn’t pass up this chance. I loved the book description and that cover, so my expectations where really high. But let me tell you.. Ali got herself a new fan.

In ‘Love on the Brain’ we meet Bee Königswasser. Bee is a quirky neuro scientist, and everything I would want in a friend. She loves cats, loves Star Wars and is Vegan. Yep, my kind of person for sure. But next to being a great scientist, Bee has never been lucky in the love department. The man in Bee’s life just seem to be all wrong. So when Bee finds out the co-leader of her new project is none other than Levi Ward, her nemesis, she desperately tries to stay positive.

Levi has always seemed to dislike Bee from the moment they met years ago. But he will stay professional about it.. right?!

‘Love on the Brain’ was an incredible read from the moment I started. This book was really funny, entertaining, romantic, sexy and just everything you could want in a read. I just loved everything about this read. The writing is definitely great, Ali had a way of keeping me hooked right from the start. And getting to know these characters was so much fun.

Bee had a lot of prejudice about Levi. And Levi sure didn’t do anything to make Bee think otherwise. There where so many misunderstandings, which could get frustrating to read, but the author made sure it stayed fun and entertaining. The romance was a slow burn one, and kept me hooked. I loved the chemistry and the buildup. And the world setting of the lab, wasn’t boring at all. Not that I expected it to be, but I guess people could think that.

‘Love on the Brain’ is definitely going on my favorite list for this year. It was great from start to finish and I simple loved everything out it. I’m definitely getting my hands on ‘The Love Hypothesis’ as well! ‘Love on the Brain’ is out TODAY!!

About Ali Hazelwood

Ali Hazelwood is a multi-published author—alas, of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the U.S. to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience. She recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies her. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her two feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
