Narrado por: Soneela Nankani

Two workplace enemies find themselves in close proximity on a tropical company retreat that challenges their assumptions—and just might make them to fall for each other—in this romcom by a by a beloved TikTok author.

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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Tense, feisty, funny and steamy!”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Abby Jimenez

“A trope-filled feast that also makes you want to burn your bra, NOT SAFE FOR WORK introduces Nisha J. Tuli as queen of another genre. All hail.”—USA Today bestselling author Julie Soto

"Not Safe for Work takes the term 'beach read' to new heights. With a paradisic setting, this rivals-to-lovers office romance is at turns hilarious, hot, and deeply relatable. It's one of those books you'll wish you could scrub from your mind just to experience the joy of reading it for the first time over and over again."—Navessa Allen, New York Times best-selling author of Lights Out

Chip on her shoulder!

The lead female role has a chip on her shoulder so big I bet her back hurts. I stuck it out til the end for the happy ending but I get sick of the playing victim/race card in real life so I don’t care to read about it in my comedy romance. It didn’t help her last name is a false god that people sacrificed their children to in the old days.

STEM-ulating Romance

I really enjoyed this book. It was a palate cleanser contemporary romance that was enjoyable from start to finish. Our FMC Tris is a BIPOC engineer at a firm that has nothing but overlooked her at every turn. Rafe, a nepo hire, gets all the perks and accolades that Tris should be getting and the two have an ongoing rivalry that is coming to a head. The firm decides to host a competition sending two people to Hawaii for a chance to win a coveted spot in the firms engineering hierarchy. Surprisingly, Tris gets selected (because why would she at this point) and so does Rafe. That’s when the fun truly begins.

This novel has some pretty witty banter, one bed at the inn troupe, great minor characters that become your instant besties, and secrets coming to light. It’s fast paced (sometimes at break neck speed) and cute. And much loved body positivity and female empowerment.

The audio was good to listen to as a supplement. The narrator was hilarious with her banter and it felt like a natural experience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hachette Audio for allowing me access to ALC in exchange for my honest review.

Love love love!

What an adorable, swoony, real, adult (no communication crap), fantastic rom com book! The character seem so real and genuine the story adorable ☺️ and the emotions deep!

Fantastic narration

An extremely fun rivals to lovers/workplace romance! The barriers the FMC faces in the workplace are (unfortunately) relatable. I wish we’d gotten to know more about who the FMC was outside of work, like we did with the MMC, but overall really enjoyed this! Narration was excellent.

Witty Banter + Great Chemistry = A Fun Listen

I listened to Not Safe for Work and really enjoyed the experience! The narrator, Soneela Nankani, did such a great job bringing the characters to life. The banter and chemistry came through so naturally in audio, which made it even more fun to follow along.

The story itself is witty, modern, and super engaging. It has that perfect balance of humor, tension, and flirty moments that kept me hooked, and I found myself wanting to keep listening just to see how the dynamic between the characters unfolded.

It’s fast-paced and easy to sink into, the kind of audiobook you can get lost in during a commute or while doing chores. The only reason it’s not a full five stars for me is that there were a few places where I wanted just a little more depth, but overall it was such an enjoyable listen.

If you’re looking for something light, fun, and full of spark, the audiobook version is a fantastic way to experience this story!

Nisha Tuli does it again

I adored this book. Nisha must be pretty funny in real life because this book made me laugh out loud several times! The narrator also helped, she did a FANTASTIC job, making the book even greater. The book is deep, it's emotional, it's funny, and had me swooning for the male lead. It's perfect, five stars from me.

Amazing!

This narrator blew this out of the water!! Great job! Amazing story!! The yearning and pining was delicious!

Predictable

This is a book written in an exact format from a high school English class. It was bad.
