Sparks fly between work enemies as Tris and Rafe are selected to attend a retreat in Hawaii. This was my first book by the author and I was pleasantly surprised at how much this romance worked for me! Just the right kind of slow-burn with great chemistry between the characters, killer FMC and swoony tortured hero MMC.

I thought Tris was super likable, very smart and relatable. The book is entirely from her POV and we really get to know her throughout the story. It’s a fun enemies to lovers romance with a STEM theme, they’re in Maui and the atmosphere was tropical and relaxing. I really enjoyed the work drama plot, Chapter 28 is particularly outstanding in the finale!

The romance started out slow, a previous work relationship and its fallout hang over Tris’ head, and her reluctance to purse relations with Rafe were a big hurdle. Once the characters got together it was fast and steamy, with a small wrench thrown in to add tension. Recommending this to fans of Summery enemies to lovers romances!

Narration by Soneela Nankani was entertaining and made the story come to life. I loved the snark and delivery for Tris. Her timing and performance was great!
