The STEMinist Novellas #3

My Rating: 4/5 Stars

Primary Genre: STEM Romance/Contemporary Romance

Blurb: 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? To read Mara and Sadie’s stories look for the novellas Under One Roof and Stuck with You available now from Berkley!

My Thoughts: 

Last book of this novella series, realistically they could have all been combined into one book. Hannah' and Ian's story is another dual timeline, taking place at CalTech/NASA and Norway. Ian is actually Mara's cousin (Mara is from book 1), which I thought was a cute tie in. In this book we see all of the girls reunited in Houston, the first and only time they're all together in the present day timeline. I think this series could have used more of that. After reading this book, I feel like the first book is definitely the best. While the MC is pretty well developed, her love interest really isn't. Given more pages, he could have been better developed and may have been a great full length book. I actually enjoyed the plot. The ending was ok but I'd have liked the end to see all of the girls together. All in all, not a TERRIBLE Novella series but I'd rather have just had full length books of book 1 and 3.
