Loathe at First Sight
Book Feature - Loathe at First Sight by Suzanne Park
HBL Note: If you enjoy reading books by Jasmine Guillory and Sally Thorne, then you’ll want to check out books by Suzanne Park, including The Perfect Escape and her latest novel, Loathe at First Sight. Of course, I love the title and the cute book cover, but I also love a rom-com with a female lead with a career in the tech industry (and all the challenges that go along with being a woman in a male-dominated field, like sexist coworkers.) Scroll down to read more!
From the publisher:
Melody Joo is thrilled to land her dream job as a video game producer, but her new position comes with challenges: an insufferable CEO; sexist male coworkers; and an infuriating—yet distractingly handsome—intern, Nolan MacKenzie, aka “the guy who got hired because his uncle is the boss.”
Just when Melody thinks she’s made the worst career move of her life, her luck changes. While joking with a friend, she creates a mobile game that has male strippers fighting for survival in a post-apocalyptic world. Suddenly Melody’s “joke” is her studio’s most high-profile project—and Melody’s running the show.
When Nolan is assigned to Melody’s team, she’s sure he’ll be useless. But as they grow closer, she realizes he’s smart and sexy, which makes Melody want to forget he’s her intern. As their attraction deepens, she knows it’s time to pump the brakes, even with her Korean parents breathing down her neck to hurry up and find a man.
With her project about to launch, Melody suddenly faces a slew of complications, including a devastating trolling scandal. Could the man she’s falling hard for help her play the game to win—in work and in love?
