Review :
Rising corporate star Reeva Rai is offered a prestigious position in a top-notch PR agency. It is the opportunity of a lifetime.But working with enigmatic billionaire Kunaal Kabi was not going to be easy. Even as she develops feelings for him, she is determined to prove herself. But when an activist friend turns to her for help with a real-estate scam, Reeva has to make a high-stakes choice. Can she retain the credibility of her prominent clients while helping hundreds save their homes? As she digs deeper to find solutions, a nefarious scheme unravels with unexpected connections. A no-holds-barred race ensues, blood is drawn and Reeva is trapped in the eye of a political thunderstorm. If she succeeds, powerful people will have much to answer for.
The book begins with the introduction of the female protagonist Reeva Rai. All the other characters are introduced as the story proceeds. Most of the characters have the required depth and is well developed. The book is fast paced and kept me hooked till the very end. The book is unputdownable and there is never a chance for the reader to be bored. It has a lot of twists and subplots with elements of suspense as well as a very unexpected climax. The love story of Reeva and Kunaal is very complex. We are able to understand the important role that media plays in politics. We also get a glimpse of the dangerous and complicated world of the rich and the powerful. All the chracters in the book seemed to be rich and good looking which makes the book a little unrelatable. The cliche love triangle is present but it could have been avoided. Some of the incidents in the book I felt were unbelievable. A few characters are forgotten by the end of the book and we are left to wonder about them. This is a good read for those who love thrillers.
Rating : 4.3/5
