‘Your world is about to be rocked.’ Elena Armas, author of The Spanish Love Deception
‘Hopelessly, brilliantly, wonderfully romantic. I loved it even more than The Love Hypothesis,and I didn’t think that was possible’ Cressida McLaughlin
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis comes a new STEMinist rom-com in which a scientist is forced to work on a project with her nemesis – with explosive results.
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 – Marie would accept without hesitation. Duh. But the mother of modern physics never had to co-lead with Levi Ward.
Sure, Levi is attractive in a tall, dark, and piercing-eyes kind of way. But Levi made his feelings toward Bee very clear in grad school – archenemies work best employed in their own galaxies far, far away.
But when her equipment starts to go missing and the staff ignore her, Bee could swear she sees Levi softening into an ally, backing her plays, seconding her ideas… devouring her with those eyes. The possibilities have all her neurons firing.
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?

There is something about Ali’s books that make them just irresistible. Yeah, the story feels a lot like The Love Hypothesis, as most of her books do, but the few differences are enough to make it worthwhile. It is an extremely slow burn, but when it happens it’s ???????? ????. The romcom part is funny, with cute banter and hilarious conversations and inner monologues. I absolutely love the STEM part is really fun too and the entire story was super entertaining.
I loved the narration, Brooke Bloomingdale was excellent, her interpretation of characters was perfection and her voices were really good. It would have been better to have had a male narrator too but she did a great job and made the story better anyway.

Love it. I wanted to read about their twins … and the cat and her being a kickass mom. I want more of them

I have read all of Ali Hazelwoods books, The love Hypothesis was my favourite but wow, Love On The Brain has now drawn with it. I absolutely loved everything about this read. I read this book so fast I couldn’t believe I had finished already, I needed more pages. I love the grumpy and sunshine trope and Ali creates it so perfectly with science.
Bee Konigswasser is such a bubbly and talented young lady she is offered a job as a leader of Neuroengineering by NASA, this is a dream for Bee, until she realises who she has to co-lead with. Ali has a way with creating breathtaking men that make you fall deeply in love with them. Levi Ward is one of them, HOLY SMOKES !!!! Where can I find a bloke like him? Grumpy and dark and extremely attractive. Levi has made his feelings clear to Bee since grad school. But when Levi and Bee seem to be pulled together when Bee’s equipment and strange things start happening, as they work together to solve the case as well as try to work together with their job, Bee seems to think he is softening up on her and she starts to second guess her feelings for him too.
I loved the mystery and the twists and turns in this book, as always Ali had us holding our breaths and our hearts melting the next. The romance is adorable. Laugh out loud moments you just can’t get enough of her stunning books. They just bring a smile on your face no matter how many times you reread them, another stunning and extraordinary read, cannot wait for your next read Ali your writing and plots are just out of this world.

I do love all of Ali Hazelwoods books, but I was pretty disappointed with this one. Started off well, however half way through, the main female character started to irk me (sorry to say), I mean it’s obvious surely but some of her actions left me puzzled!!

I had been desperate to get my hands on this since I read the preview chapter at the end of The Love Hypothesis… The book is set at NASA but you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to work out who the second personality behind the twitter personas (featured in chapter one) was going to be and I couldn’t wait to see how Bee and Levi’s story unfolded… I was not disappointed.
I adored Levi and Bee!
Yes, Bee could be a little bit over the top sometimes but Levi was just adorable! A pining, brilliant, sexy, adorable dude who was perfect for all that was Bee.
I loved them together!
I loved the ridiculous situations they got into. I enjoyed the secondary characters, the cats and even the “bad guy twist” at the end.
Basically, it’s a slightly over-the-top rom-com, with two characters who were made for each other, set in a STEM environment, that made me laugh a lot, and as soon as I’d finished I wanted to read it again.
I recommend it to anyone who loves a swoony, funny, story with a perfect sprinkling of steam.
Ali Hazelwood is 5 stories in and she’s yet to disappoint!

3.5 stars and 3.5 spice
Do not expect the same quality as the love hypothesis and that the books are the same. They’re not. But this book is still a good book
They are similar in ways such as the main characters and both kind of grumpy sunshine and workplace romance (kind of?) So I can get were people are coming from with that. They are also of course both themed around women in stem that’s just what Ali Hazelwood books are about.
Even though with that they are pretty different bee is more irritating and quirky. Love on the brain is however had more science in it and more about bee and her life and her career in it. As in like 1/3 of the plot is her job.
Overall solid book just needed a little bit more about the actual couple, but the few chapters about them are very sweet and perfect. I did dnf this for a solid 2 weeks which is why this is a 3.5 not a 4.

It only lost a star due to the excessive miscommunication and the frustration that I had with Bee who, despite being an incredibly smart woman, seemed to be idiotically blind most of the book just to keep the plot going. Yes, her trauma made some of it understandable, but it was definitely pushed to the extremes, especially during the climax of the book.
Otherwise it was a magnificent read and have many moments I saved and will remember fondly
