The other two books have walked the line between incorporating modern elements while still managing to maintain the escapism that many readers look for in the romance genre. Just a few too many references to current events, in my opinion. There was one thing that made this work a bit less for me than the others, and it took a second to pinpoint. I also found the dynamic between Dev and Jia very sweet, with all the drama that they faced being in different parts of the entertainment industry.

Like with the previous books, I love Alisha Rai's strong female lead and the attention that she places on sisterhood (blood-related or not). This installment in the modern love series was very cute, just the right vibe to brighten up the dreariness of January. But as the whole world swoons over their relationship, Jia can’t help but wonder: Can an online romance-turned-offline-fauxmance ever become love in real life? When paparazzi blast their private business into the public eye, Dev is happy to engage in some friendly fake dating to calm the gossips and to dazzle her family. Especially once he starts to suspect who might have used his famous name to catfish her…

As much as he’d like to focus on his Hollywood fresh start, he can’t get Jia out of his head. The son of a powerful Bollywood family, soap opera star Dev Dixit is used to drama, but a strange woman who accuses him of wooing her online, well, that’s a new one. There’s just one wrinkle: he has no idea who she is. She has little time for love, and even less time for the men in her private messages-until the day a certain international superstar slides into her DMs, and she falls hard and fast. The author of The Right Swipe and Girl Gone Viral returns with a story about finding love in all the wrong inboxes.īeauty expert and influencer Jia Ahmed has her eye on the prize: conquering the internet today, the entire makeup industry tomorrow, and finally, finally proving herself to her big opinionated family.
