Review :
Prisha Khatri is a regular college graduate, focused on her career, desperate to finally move out of her parents’ house and freshly dumped by her successful fiancé. When she lands a job at a prestigious media house, she’s glad to have something to take her mind off her heartbreak. What she doesn’t expect is to be landed on a business trip with a famously fiery reporter Rajesh Lagheri. He’s travelling to a business conference for a story and doesn’t seem impressed by her involvement. But as soon as they’re out of the office, things change and it becomes clear that there is more to Rajesh’s trip than meets the eye. As Prisha is drawn into the story he’s trying to hide from their editor, their hunt for the story grows more intense and she finds herself growing closer to Rajesh. As their chemistry threatens to overwhelm them and Prisha is pulled deeper into the Seductive Affair, she must decide what matters most to her matters of the head or of the heart.
The story line was appealing in the beginning and there was a lot of scope. However, the book did not live up to my expectation. Initially, the book was about the conference and there was a small suspense; but later, that took a back seat and it was only the chemistry between Prisha and Rajesh, who were acting like teenagers with raging hormones rather than media professionals attending a conference. The negative characters are typical villains and they are portrayed as evil characters to justify the relationship between Prisha and Rajesh. The writing style is good which makes it bearable to read till the end. The name of the book is ‘Seductive Affair’ but there was no seduction involved. The cover of the book is also vague. The character of Prisha is an independent and bold woman and at a lot of instances, we can see these traits; but the character does not maintain consistency. It is the same with Rajesh. This book is for those looking for a pacy romantic novel.
Rating : 3/5
