It\u2019s the catalyst for friendship these successful women didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Samiah Brooks is a fast-rising software engineer. And while she loves her job (and the perks!) at one of the hottest tech firms in Austin, she\u2019s also been thinking about developing her own app on the side.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Daniel Collins is the new guy who joins the Research &amp; Development department. And though a relationship isn\u2019t on Samiah\u2019s checklist, she has to admit, he\u2019s pretty cute. But Daniel isn\u2019t your average programmer. And getting involved with someone at the office is usually a no-no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The Boyfriend Project has a real sense of place, even if you\u2019ve only been to Austin a few times, like me. You <em>know<\/em> what Dirty Sixth looks like and what it\u2019s like to walk around downtown. <strong>It shines with its focus on career, friendships and women in technology (BRAVO!!!). And it has just enough software development jargon and nerdery to be believable, <\/strong>says the gal who used to work in tech PR, but isn\u2019t an engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">While you could call it an office romance because so much the action goes down there, TBP is romantic women\u2019s fiction (with an HEA). It&#8217;s a great descriptor, one Farrah used herself in a recent live event with BookPeople. When I initially read it, I went in expecting straight contemporary romance. Samiah and Daniel\u2019s relationship develops very (maybe, too?) organically, so from the midpoint, pacing was an issue for me. Both&nbsp;on the pair getting together, and on the execution of the conflict.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">The Boyfriend Project is a solid start to a series. I mean, I hope it&#8217;s a series. We need to check in on Taylor and London. Someone needs to bump into Craig still trying to run his game. You know that fool hasn&#8217;t learned his lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>3.5 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><strong>Get The Boyfriend Project at <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therippedbodicela.com\/aff\/dailywaffle\/book\/9781538716625\"><strong>The Ripped Bodice<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/6843\/9781538716625\"><strong>Bookshop.org<\/strong><\/a><strong> |<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiebound.org\/book\/9781538716625?aff=dailywaffle\"><strong>IndieBound<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dMt3BM\"><strong>Amazon<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/books.apple.com\/us\/book\/the-boyfriend-project\/id1482603901?mt=11&amp;app=itunes&amp;at=1001lIr6\"><strong>Apple Books<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\"><em>This post includes affiliate links, which kick us a small percentage at no cost to you.
