ROMANCE IS BACK BABY! Where do I even start I have seen this book for months and I was so excited to see the Arc pop up and I had high expectations and it lived up to it! WOW! I loved everything about this, the tension between the main characters, this work place romance has the angst the steaminess, the slow burn it has it all. I devoured this book it was so good I could not put it down, the friendships that grew, the way the main characters opened up to each other. The annoying side characters who could not take a hint. The villain she wants to lead her to his lair being a knight without her knowing. He made her feel like she could conquer the world AND THEN SHE DID! Hell the book made me feel like I can conquer the world!

*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

I absolutely loved this! A perfect workplace romance, filled with sharp banter, sizzling chemistry, and so many laugh-out-loud moments. Tris is such a relatable and strong heroine, and her dynamic with Rafe kept me hooked from start to finish. Their enemies-to-lovers tension was perfection, and the company retreat setting made everything even more exciting.

The humor in this book had me laughing constantly, and the romance was the perfect mix of fun, steamy, and heartfelt. I also really enjoyed how the story touched on real workplace challenges while still keeping things entertaining.

If you love clever, spicy romances with unforgettable characters, this is a must-read! I need more from Nisha J. Tuli in this genre ASAP!

Not Safe For Work brings a whole new meaning to the ‘only one bed’ trope.

Once again Nisha J. Tuli delivers a simmering slow-burn in this contemporary, spicy rom-com. Love me a belligerent FMC with a heart of gold and a swaggering simp of an MMC, and Tris and Rafe fit this mould perfectly.

NSFW is a perfect, fun, easy beach read, and the perfect level of steamy for the summer.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me access to this book in return for an honest review.

Not Safe For Work has a high tension, slow burn romance between two office rivals, but the romance takes equal billing with a plotline that features heavier topics such as sexism, racism, harassment at work and generally awful office culture. I found some things that Trishara experienced uncomfortable because of how realistic they were, and it's just frustrating that this behaviour is still so common in the workplace. My only critique really is that Tris and Rafe weren't exactly winning awards for their professionalism either, both in their pre-relationship, rivals stage and in their getting-together, lust-haze stage.

I did binge this in one sitting and despite the serious topics, it was a fun read because it was well balanced.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley, but this is my voluntary and honest review.

I absolutely inhaled this book, once I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Enemies / rivals to lovers is one of my favourite tropes and this didn’t miss a beat. The banter had me laughing out loud, the sexual tension and the burn were delicious, and the more serious themes were handled with so much care and a clear personal passion to do them justice. I will always have so much time for authors who balance the realities and complexity of life and love, while still providing pure escapism and joy in their work.
This is one of favourite books of the year so far.
Off I go to find the fantasy worlds Nisha J. Tuli has cooked up, I’m sure more goodness awaits.
