Week 12 Review: Not Safe for Work

From Goodreads:

Rival engineers dabble in personal chemistry while at a tropical company retreat in this smart, zippy romcom.

 

Engineer Trishara Malik once dreamed of being the first woman of color to smash the glass ceiling at WMC Purcell, but after years of dealing with white male privilege and blatant nepotism, she watches her hard-earned promotion go to her nemesis, Rafe Gallagher—the boss's son. Teetering on the edge of burnout, Tris is stunned when she's picked to attend WMC's corporate leadership retreat in Hawaii. It's a chance to revive her stalled career and compete for a coveted spot in an executive training program—plus, three weeks in paradise! The only downside? Rafe is her co-attendee.

Tris plans to avoid Rafe entirely, but when she arrives in Maui, a booking error has them stuck sharing the honeymoon suite. Sure, it's not all torture. Rafe is a smoldering ten—okay fine, an eleven—but after years of competition, they can barely stand being in the same time zone. As they vie against each other during aptitude tests and team-building exercises, Tris begins to realize Rafe might not be the villain after all. With her dreams at stake, can she learn to trust the man who might have been standing in her corner all along?

My Review:
This was such a fun read! I've really enjoyed her other books, but they were all fantasy, so I was interested to see what a rom com would be like. It was such a delight to read, I loved their romance, she always does slow burn really well! 

The fact that Tris's experience as a female engineer is based off of what Nisha J. Tuli and her colleagues' experiences, was infuriating. 

Loved reading this book and I can't wat to read more by Nisha J. Tuli!
