About this listen

A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.

Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A junior at Stanford and a student athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships - at least, that's what she tells herself.

Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It's how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.

So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

*Ali Hazelwood's Not in Love was a Sunday Times bestseller w/e 15 June 2024.©2025 Ali Hazelwood (P)2025 Random House Audio

Too much for me!

This book was okay but it was a little bit too much for me! It was Read well but the story was a little predictable. I didn’t particularly enjoy it but I’ve learnt about diving and Sweden.

Holy Hotness

I am new to the audiobook world but I literally couldn't stop listening to this book! The story and the narration were perfection! Lucas is maybe one of my favourite mmcs to date and Scarlett was an awesome fmc to boot, I found her overthinking and self doubt very relatable, both characters were endearing. The spice in this book was also hot as hell and where in the past I found it cringe in audio this one was just perfect. The character growth for both characters was also really well written in this book and I loved the side characters from both teams. I will definitely be reading more Ali Hazelwood in the future.

Typical Ali hazelwood and that is no bad thing

Great narration, love this style with a man doing the male speaking parts. Easy and enjoyable story.

If you happen to speak Swedish, please don’t choose the audio format..

I have the misfortune of being very familiar with the Swedish language. The male narrator in this book however clearly does not speak Swedish. It becomes very painful to listen to him. Even if I ignore the accent.. which is not very good and stronger than the text implies; Would it really kill him to actually learn to pronounce the handful of Swedish words used in the book?

I really wish I just read it on my kindle. It’s a nice story and I would have loved it.. (instead it caused me more annoyance than the ex girlfriend in the book.. )

Impeccable Duet Narration

Love the female narrator (same as Bride) - she is the perfect AH FMC. The duet narration with the male Swedish accent is a 15/10. I really liked the story too, lots of laugh out loud moments and the kink was kinking in a loving way.

Hands down favourite Ali Hazelwood book!

This is my favourite Ali Hazelwood book! No doubt! Absolutely perfect, no notes! The narration is impeccable. The two main characters were great. The friend/ex did annoy me to a certain extent but the tension was necessary to the plot! Other than that absolutely no notes.

The narration!

I’m sad this is over. The narrators absolutely made this audiobook what it is, and the spice is perfection!

Five stars are not enough

Wauh I am just…
The story, the love, the friendships, the spice, the dives, the psychological growth of the MC, the humor.
Her best book yet, Lukas was unique compared to her other MMCs.
Everything was just more, not just the spice but also the depth of characters and their relationships.

I have loved and reread Check and Mate, the Love Hypothesis and Bride, but found some of her other books a bit repetitive of the “recipe” from The Love Hypothesis.

The narration was superb, the Swedish words and quirks fun to understand (or not) as a Dane
