“A fun Ali Hazelwood story! I love that she mixes her knowledge of science and medicine into her books. I think Hazelwood makes sex talk and "intimate", not to be talked about, topics down to earth and by writing about subjects that are typically taboo, like BDSM, she opens up the conversation to "regular people". She is a great story teller and makes what she's writing accessible to all. I resonate with the main character being unsure of herself and often laughed out loud at her conversations with herself, I've been there! The relationship between her and Lucas was sweet and spicy and I really enjoyed their story and their overall connection. The secondary characters, the boys from the swim team and housemates, Ali's friends were approachable and added to the overall story. All in all, I enjoyed this book.”

— Sarah • Parthenon Books
A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships—at least, that’s what she tells herself.Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...
Ali Hazelwood is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).

“There are lots of books out there trying to be Ali Hazelwood novels, but there’s only one Ali Hazelwood—and that’s because she doesn’t just write smart romances, she employs sorcery so that the reader falls in love with the characters as they fall in love with each other.
