About the author
Ali Hazelwood is an Italian-born romance writer and a neuroscience professor in the United States. Her novels often place women in laboratories and universities, using professional rivalry and institutional pressure as more than scenery for the romance.
Her academic romances use grant applications, lab hierarchies, conferences, and precarious careers as more than scenery. Bride carries the same quick voice into paranormal romance, where an arranged marriage between Vampyres and Weres replaces the laboratory without removing the heroine's habit of solving problems herself.
Where to start
Start with The Love Hypothesis for Hazelwood's academic romance, Love, Theoretically for a sharper look at precarious university work, or Bride for the same comic intelligence in a paranormal arranged marriage.
