Recently-single model Rayna Dutt does not feel like flying to her friend’s big fat Indian wedding. But she does – and when a mix up with room allocations forces her to share a luxury villa on Emerald Isle with the gorgeous owner of the hotel – Neel Arora – and best man at the wedding, things begin to look up.
Until Rayna’s ex turns up with a new girl on his arm!
Hitting the panic button, Rayna searches for a solution. Surely Neel wouldn’t mind being her fake fiancé…? In an instant the attraction they share is fever pitch, but when scandal comes calling, Rayna soon finds herself in more trouble than she can handle!
Book Review:
Trouble Has a New Name is Adite Banerjie’s second book and for this book she takes us to the pristine and heavenly Andaman Islands. The cover is lovely and instantly made me remember warm sand, soothing sound of the crashing of waves and the serenity and peace that one gets only on a beach! The cover is just lovely with extra shine given to the umbrella and the author’s name.
The blurb is also very alluring and instantly made me feel the need to pick this book up.
Having already read Adite’s first book, The Indian Tycoon’s Marriage Deal, I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book was even better than the first one. Adite has grown as a writer and it shows in her new book.
The plot is pretty common but what makes it unique is the style of writing, the settings and the use of the characters to create a story that feels new and fresh. Adite has the flair for storytelling and she shows her prowess in this story where she brings together two flawed people and sketches a whole lot of scenarios that range from funny to sad to sensuous to breathtakingly intense.
I loved the way the setting was developed. The author is successful in making the reader visualize the beauty of Andaman even if he or she hasn’t been there. I enjoyed revisiting the place and reliving the fun I had had when I had gone there for vacation. Now I am thinking maybe I should go visit again and see if I can find my own Emerald Island! 🙂
The characterization is expertly done and I could connect with both Rayna and Neel. The banter between these two is entertaining and the shift from the joyous and light bickering to the intense and extremely hot romance is fluidly done. I loved each and every minute of the story especially Rayna’s self made rules which were hilarious and too cute. 🙂
All in all, a great holiday read and also a beach read, you will love this romance. I give Trouble Has a New Name 4.5 out of 5 and recommend this book to all romance lovers. Sunny sands, lovely beaches and a romance that will stop your breath, go read the book!
I received the book from the author and the publishers, Harlequin India and I am very thankful to them. The above review is my honest and unbiased opinion and in no way influenced.
