the cruel prince
Holly Black · 2018
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black, comes the first book in a stunning new series about a mortal girl who finds herself caught in a web of royal faerie intrigue. Of course I want to be like them. They're beautiful as blades forged in some divine fire. They will live forever. And Cardan is even more beautiful than the rest. I hate him more than all the others. I hate him so much that sometimes when I look at him, I can hardly breathe. Jude was seven years old when her parents were murdered and she and her two sisters were stolen away to live in the treacherous High Court of Faerie. Ten years later, Jude wants nothing more than to belong there, despite her mortality. But many of the fey despise humans. Especially Prince Cardan, the youngest and wickedest son of the High King. To win a place at the Court, she must defy him--and face the consequences. In doing so, she becomes embroiled in palace intrigues and deceptions, discovering her own capacity for bloodshed. But as civil war threatens to drown the Courts of Faerie in violence, Jude will need to risk her life in a dangerous alliance to save her sisters, and Faerie itself.

The Love Hypothesis
Ali Hazelwood • 2021
The Instant New York Times Bestseller and TikTok Sensation! As seen on THE VIEW! A BuzzFeed Best Summer Read of 2021 When a fake relationship between scientists meets the irresistible force of attraction, it throws one woman's carefully calculated theories on love into chaos. As a third-year Ph.D. candidate, Olive Smith doesn't believe in lasting romantic relationships—but her best friend does, and that's what got her into this situation. Convincing Anh that Olive is dating and well on her way to a happily ever after was always going to take more than hand-wavy Jedi mind tricks: Scientists require proof. So, like any self-respecting biologist, Olive panics and kisses the first man she sees. That man is none other than Adam Carlsen, a young hotshot professor—and well-known ass. Which is why Olive is positively floored when Stanford's reigning lab tyrant agrees to keep her charade a secret and be her fake boyfriend. But when a big science conference goes haywire, putting Olive's career on the Bunsen burner, Adam surprises her again with his unyielding support and even more unyielding...six-pack abs. Suddenly their little experiment feels dangerously close to combustion. And Olive discovers that the only thing more complicated than a hypothesis on love is putting her own heart under the microscope.

Ali Hazelwood • 2023
En esta fantástica comedia romántica de la autora de La hipótesis del amor y La química del amor, dos físicos rivales chocan en una vorágine de disputas académicas y relaciones falsas.

Se afana en corregir exámenes y enseñar termodinámica con la esperanza de, algún día, conseguir la titularidad. De noche, complementa su inexistente sueldo ofreciendo el servicio de ser una novia falsa, lo cual lleva a cabo con éxito gracias a sus habilidades para caerle bien a la gente y encarnar cualquier versión de sí misma que necesite el cliente. Lo cierto es que es un trabajo estupendo... hasta que el Elsie-verso que tanto le ha costado construir se viene abajo. Jack Smith, el hermano arrogante e irritantemente atractivo de su cliente favorito, resulta ser el físico experimentalista sin corazón que arruinó la carrera de su mentor y minó la reputación de los teóricos a nivel mundial. Y ese mismo Jack Smith, que es quien dirige el departamento de Física del MIT, se interpone ahora entre Elsie y el trabajo de sus sueños. Ella está dispuesta a poner en marcha una guerra de sabotaje académico, pero... ¿qué son esas miradas tan largas y penetrantes? ¿Cómo es que, cuando está con él, no tiene que ser una versión diferente de sí misma? ¿Caer en la órbita de un experimentalista conseguirá que, por fin, ponga en práctica todas sus teorías sobre el amor?
