This fast paced, suspenseful romance is a charming second chance that was perfectly provocative and swiftly drew me in and kept me intrigued. Alisha Rai has crafted an engaging plot driven romance and imbued it with charm and humor and the right amount of mystery. Rai’s writing is engaging and accessible. The novel is fun and diverse, I love the family secrets and the twist and turns that all work in harmony to create build up chemistry between our hero and heroine leading to a sweet and heartfelt romance.
Mira has found a small quiet way of her life to escape her dysfunctional family and restructure your life. She is currently of an age where she is looking towards the future and has enlisted a matchmaker, but the past few options have not been successful. But when her aunt dies, Mira is reunited with her first and most prominent match and from that point on her and Naveen are kidnapped and on the run as they untangle the mysterious of Mira’s past and family.
I found Mira as a heroine to be strong and independent, she has worked hard to carve out a future from herself that is not wrapped up in her father’s schemes. Naveen as a hero is a true family man. He works hard and he is caring and compassionate. These two were on the road to marriage but when Mira gets cold feet she backs out and only fate can bring these two back together. From the point of reunion and on we are in a fast paced run from moment to moment that highlights how well these two work together. I really enjoyed watching them grow and learn from the other while trying to keep their cool and understanding as Naveen is thrown for loop after loop as Mira’s true past is revealed. This novel is sweetly sexy, this light moments of sensuality while balancing with the high moments of intensity.
If you love a romantic suspense this is a nice and comedic take on the genre. It is the perfect blend of Indian Matchmaker and Wedding Date and it was a really fun read. Definitely worth reading and an lovely addition to Rai’s cannon which has a wide range of super sensual to a bit more light hearted and sweet.
Thank you to Avon and NetGalley for an eARC.
