Description

When ambitious tech consultant Maya lands a high-stakes project at a cutting-edge AI firm, she expects long hours and complex algorithms. She does not expect to find herself caught in a magnetic pull between two people who challenge everything she thought she knew about desire and professional boundaries.

It is a story that captures the cutesy, heart-fluttering moments of a burgeoning connection alongside the intense, spicy heat of a modern queer romance.

Wanting more

I was left wanting a bit more in the romance department especially since this was queer-based. But a good read overall.

Friendship, AI, and Great Storytelling

Here is a shorter version suitable for Amazon or Goodreads: I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The insights about AI and its use in today’s workplaces were especially interesting. I also loved the friendship dynamics—very well written—and the author handled the spicier themes with care. Looking forward to more books from this author!

Good Romance

Overall, the romance was solidly written. I also liked that the drama came from outside of the relationship for the most part, which made the entire thing feel more realistic and relatable. The author managed to incorporate many themes that worked together well and elevated the plot, which kept the book interesting. It also gets very spicy pretty regularly, so do keep that in mind. However, the writing was often awkward at times throughout the book, both in the exposition and dialogue. This often made the banter and interactions between Stella and Max feel stilted and awkward, even near the end of the book. The characters were also a little flat, and it was difficult to remember who the secondary characters were, though they were diverse. There should have been more tension and inclusion of the conflicts with Chelsea and Miels as well, and these subplots felt underutilized. Overall this was a solid spicy romance that was enjoyable, and I’d be interested in reading more from this author. My thanks to NetGalley and Berkely Publishing for allowing me to read this work.
