The Book Blurb
Faced with her parents insistent matchmaking, TIYA SOOD claims to be in a steady relationship. To her bad luck, she blurts out the name of Vihaan Rajpoot—bad boy and serial heartbreaker—as her boyfriend.
Convincing Vihaan to agree to her ill-advised plan and play the role of temporary boyfriend was easy, but staying away from him…so hard, especially when she’s been attracted to this bad boy since day one.
VIHAAN RAPOOT has lived in the shadows for the longest. Haunted by the events of the past, he doesn’t do serious relationships. With the rising danger on the lives of his loved ones, he is forced to come out in the open and face the man they’ve all been hiding from. Vihaan will do anything to learn more about the events in his past...including agreeing to be Tiya’s fake boyfriend.
But when the lines between fake and real are slowly blurred, even the best thought of plans go for a toss. Tiya is everything Vihaan has ever wanted, but being with her is not in his future, yet keeping her at a distance is beyond unbearable.
When his enemy raises the stakes in this age-old war, will Vihaan be able to give up the one woman who has begun to mean more to him or will he jeopardies his family's safety?
Sapna Bhog never disappoints me whenever I read her books. She puts me on a journey that I eagerly anticipate, complete with a set of compelling characters and a gripping story. This book is a refreshing drink in the heat of summer for me and a perfect addition to the series.
This book follows the story of Vihaan and Tiya. To save herself from her parents' matchmaking, Tiya claims Vihaan Rajpoot as her boyfriend. Making him agree to her plan is not a problem; however, resisting the attraction is. Vihaan had to face his enemy for faking Tiya's boyfriend, and to protect his family, he opted to come out of hiding. Vihaan is a mystery to everyone; his life prevents him from having a serious relationship. Only playboy and heartbreak can adequately define him. But there is something between Vihaan and Tiya that feels more real. And Vihaan is also hiding his real reason for being with Tiya, which can break everything that grows between them.
Vihaan gives me the inside of the long-hidden secret, and it is so heartfelt and painful to know about it. The backdrop storyline is fascinating from the start, and this one adds to it. Vihaan and Tiya's banter makes me laugh in every scene, and their dynamic adds to the story's appeal. Their chemistry is blazing hot, powerful enough to make you want more.
The author has a charm for writing the supporting characters, and this book is no exception. Bhog describes the scene in a simple and evocative way. I've been dying to read Aaryan's book ever since the previous one, and this one has just sparked my curiosity. But in this novel, Dev tickles my interest and tempts me to hear his side of the story.
The best part about this book that makes this book more special for me is the connection between this book and my favorite series, the Sehgal Family and Friends Series. It is strategic and well planned. The marriage of Sheena and Rajiv Mehra happens in the first book of the Sehgal series, but we never know anything about Rajiv, so it comes as a huge surprise and delight to read.
However, this book repeats some moments from the first book, which is a major letdown for me. Sapna Bhog was introduced to me via the fake-dating trope. That book is one of my favorites, but this book hardly devours the trope despite having powerful characters, a strong storyline, and intense chemistry. I had high hopes for this one.
It is the heartfelt story of family love, loyalty, longing, and pain tangled with attraction and true love. This book has a powerful hold on you that keeps you hooked until the very end. There are so many memorable and captivating moments that I enjoy reading.
