Rafe and Tris. RAFE AND TRIS.
First: the nod to Artefacts of Ouranos made me squeal, so well done. I loved that series, but Nisha J. Tuli’s contemporary debut is definitely also going to stay with me. I’ll read anything she writes.
Scorchingly hot while also being a slow burn. The tension is so, so good — and this book is definitely how we all WISH work conferences could be.
As steamy as it is, it also does a great job of portraying the challenges Tris faces as a minority woman in engineering. Why yes, I DO like my romance novels with a side of social issues, thank you.
I will never get tired of certain tropes: only one bed being chief among those and used to great effect here.
Ugh. Loved it.
Thank you to Forever for the ARC!

This book is adorable. It’s a perfectly made latte, a just-out-of-the-oven cruffin and a living room fort all rolled into one. Lucie and Aiden made me smile all the way through.
I’m never going to look at a fundraiser T-shirt with innocent eyes again, though.

The end gave me the !!! I needed from this book; otherwise, it felt like a lot of filler. I’m invested in Juliette and Warner, but this wasn’t my favorite book of the series.

Brain chemistry: altered.
Good GRIEF, I loved this book so much. Scarlett and Luk have insane chemistry, and Luk himself is just … incomparable. Maybe my new favorite contemporary MMC?
I don’t have coherent thoughts to string together yet, but Ali Hazelwood DID THE THING with this book, and I devoured it whole.
