Of the trilogy of STEM novellas, this one was probably the least memorable–although that also might have something to do with the fact it was on Audiobook (I don’t pay as close attention on Audiobook). It’s only when she’s about to move out that things really progress. They help and encourage each other with problems at work, and the sexual tension slowly grows. Eventually they come to a kind of truce and then friendship. The premise is a bit of a stretch, but Mara and Liam end up living unhappily together. He offers Mara money to live somewhere else, but she refuses. Liam has no interest in moving, and is not excited about sharing his home. The problem is that Liam, Helena’s nephew, owns the other half, and he already lives there. Her previous mentor, Helena, just died, and she left Mara her half-ownership in a home in D.C. Mara recently graduated and has very little money to work with. Mara is best friends with the women who starred in the previous two novellas, so there is a small connection between the three books. Like Hazelwood’s other books, Under One Roof involves a woman in STEM–Mara, an environmental engineer who works for the EPA–a hunky man, misunderstandings, and love in the end. So, now that I’ve finished Below Zero and Stuck With You, I was able to get Under One Roof (2022) by Hazelwood on audiobook. I quickly decided that I needed to read these as well. After we read The Love Hypothesis for book club, I found a trio of novellas also by Ali Hazelwood.
