Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood


Rue Siebert might not have it all, but she has enough: a few friends she can always count on, the financial stability she yearned for as a kid, and a successful career as a biotech engineer at Kline, one of the most promising start-ups in the field of food science. Her world is stable, pleasant, and hard-fought. Until a hostile takeover and its offensively attractive front man threatens to bring it all crumbling down.

This one is a little bit different than other Ali Hazelwood books. It had less smarty/sciencey stuff and more internal emotional hurdles to overcome.  Rue is very emotionally detached from the world however she's still a woman with woman needs. Some might view Eli's obsessiveness with Rue as...well I'm not sure how to define it but it spoke to me on a level that I appreciated it and enjoyed reading it from his perspective.  It does boarder on well it's getting in 50 Shades of Grey area BUT not bondage.  Control is the name of this man's pleasure.  There is a trigger warning at the start of this book fyi.  

I appreciated this one for what it was and would still recommend.
