Ali Hazelwood Books in Order: Where to Start

Ali Hazelwood cornered a niche and made it huge: STEM romance — brainy heroines, academic rivals, and a lot of heart. The good news for new readers: her adult novels are standalones.

The adult romances

  • The Love Hypothesis (2021) — the breakout: a fake-dating PhD romance
  • Love on the Brain (2022) — rival neuroscientists at NASA
  • Love, Theoretically (2023) — a physicist juggling identities
  • Bride (2024) — her vampire/werewolf paranormal romance
  • Deep End (2025) — a diving-and-desire sports-adjacent romance

She also writes YA (Check & Mate) and novellas.

Where to start

Start with The Love Hypothesis — it is the one that defined her voice and the easiest entry point. After that, read by trope or premise; they are standalones.
