![]() (Although Levi’s huge pulsating member is a little suspect, and-after reading all of the STEMinist Novellas-me thinks there’s a theme in Hazelwood’s writing …) That said, the sex scenes aren’t super explicit, and they’re actually more “realistic” than other books I’ve read. Like I mentioned above, when things finally reach a climax (why is innuendo so easy sometimes?) between Bee and Levi, it’s obvious that he’s been thinking about this for a while-and not in an “I hate this person but the sex would be explosive” kind of way. And when they actually get down to business-though Bee still thinks it’s just some casual sexytimes between people who used to hate but now only semi-dislike each other-he shows her just how much. Darcy levels of conflicting feelings and near overwhelming lust. She talks about his eyes and their unique shade of sparkling green very often, and although she sees hate seething there, I see Mr. (Then again, I might feel the same were I in her position and not reading about it like a creeper omnipotent being.)īut even when she thinks he’s in hate with her, and vice versa, their chemistry is palpable. Bee, for as smart as she is, is painfully oblivious of this, and it’s the one element of the book that really stuck out to me as an issue. All of his awkwardness was just that-awkwardness at being around a woman he was immensely and uncontrollably attracted to. Semi-spoilers, but y’all are just as smart if not smarter than me, so you’ll find this as obvious as I did: Levi does not hate Bee. ![]() ![]() He only did it to protect himself and NASA, right?

Their initial encounter was on a day when Bee was slated to give her first academic talk and dressed up for the occasion. (Or so she thought.) He’s determined to continue his hatred by making her time on the project difficult (or so she thinks), but Bee’s not going to let him ruin her chances at something better.īee and Levi initially met in grad school, when they were working under the same Ph.D. Levi, a hulking “Victorian mansion” of a man, has hated Bee since they crossed paths in grad school, where he often spoke publicly about his dislike for Bee.
