I love Alisha Rai's work, even though I've only read a few. I was super excited for First Comes Like, the third book in her Modern Romance series. Overall it was a great book and excellently written. I have to admit, though, I was looking forward to some super-steam, and this book just didn't have it. Honestly, though, it wouldn't have made sense with these characters for them to be super intimate, so I get it, totally, but still a little disappointed.
Jia is a social media influencer. She has all her websites and videos, etc. She starts talking to an Indian TV star online, and when he comes to Hollywood to break in to American TV, she goes to meet him - except he has no idea who she is! One thing leads to another (romance reasons) and they agree to a fake relationship for both of their benefit, except, of course (!) they catch feelings.
This book felt like it moved really fast! I don't know that I got a great idea of the characters - I wanted to live with them longer? Be more in their heads? It just felt very plot-driven (which isn't a bad thing), but I wanted I guess more feelings.
In any case, I'd recommend First Comes Like, and can't wait for Rai's next book!
