Free Audio Book : Love, Theoretically, by Ali Hazelwood

Elsie Hannaway leads a multifaceted life, balancing her roles as a dedicated adjunct professor and a professional fake girlfriend. During the day, she immerses herself in the challenges of teaching and grading labs, hoping for a tenure position. Meanwhile, she utilizes her well-developed ability to please others by assuming various personas to meet the needs of her clients.

This seemingly ideal arrangement takes a drastic turn when her carefully crafted world as Elsie begins to crumble. The reason? Jack Smith, an infuriatingly attractive and arrogant man, happens to be the older brother of her favorite client. To Elsie's dismay, Jack is also the cold-hearted experimental physicist responsible for destroying her mentor's career and tarnishing the reputation of theorists everywhere. Moreover, he holds a position of power in the physics department at MIT, posing a significant obstacle between Elsie and her dream job.

Prepared for an intellectual battle, Elsie anticipates engaging in a war of scholarly sabotage. However, unexpected elements come into play. Those intense, lingering gazes and the rare opportunity to be her authentic self in Jack's presence start to affect her. Could being drawn into the world of an experimentalist finally entice Elsie to apply her most guarded theories about love in real life?
