After being offered a spot co-leading a once-in-a-lifetime project at NASA, she quits her underwhelming job and sets off to Houston. 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?īee is a brilliant neuroscientist.
And the possibilities have all her neurons firing. Perhaps it’s her occipital cortex playing tricks on her, but Bee could swear she can see Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas…devouring her with those eyes. Now, her equipment is missing, the staff is ignoring her, and Bee finds her floundering career in somewhat of a pickle. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school-archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away. And sure, he caught her in his powerfully corded arms like a romance novel hero when she accidentally damseled in distress on her first day in the lab. Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward. Like an avenging, purple-haired Jedi bringing balance to the mansplained universe, 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 after years scraping by on the crumbs of academia-Marie would accept without hesitation. And it will forever go unpunished.” Ali Hazelwood, Love on the Brain (Aug.“The real villain is love: an unstable isotope, constantly undergoing spontaneous nuclear decay. Agent: Thao Le, Sandra Dijkstra Literary. This brainy offering should win Hazelwood even more fans. The snappy prose, engaging and twisty plot, and utterly endearing characters combine to create pure romance gold. When it becomes obvious to Bee that it’s not Levi blocking her requests and instead that someone else is first subtly, then overtly, working to sabotage BLINK, she and Levi must band together to save their work.
She finds solace in trading quips and commiserating with the smart and witty another popular account, to whom Bee vents about working with Levi while pines over a married woman. She takes to her popular twitter account where she doles out advice to academics in the voice of Marie Curie, to blow off steam. As Bee, who’s still nursing emotional wounds over a cheating ex-fiancé, encounters a series of obstacles in her attempts to get BLINK off the ground, she assumes Levi is stonewalling her. Unfortunately, her co-lead is her graduate school nemesis, Levi Ward. NIH neuroscientist Bee Königswasser is thrilled when she is tapped for the position of a lifetime: leading BLINK, a program that will build performance-enhancing technology for NASA astronauts. Bestseller Hazelwood’s charming and intelligent sophomore outing (after The Love Hypothesis) follows a pair of noted young scientists on their rocky path to love.
