My Review:
This story takes readers into the heart of Bollywood, complete with a family film dynasty, the leading man and an unexpected romance.
He is Vikram Raawal, a billionaire movie star who has been instrumental in saving the company his grandfather started and his parents’ almost bankrupted. He’s been focussed on his career and ensuring his grandmother and younger siblings are safe despite their parents. When he goes to visit his grandmother, he’s shocked by the outspoken young lady there, acting out a scene he’s less than proud of participating in. Naina Menon is shocked to meet her teen crush but her first impression of Vikram isn’t exactly favourable. Still, a close encounter at a party proves memorable for them both. However, the differences in their circumstances make her feel unworthy, though the sparks fly between them. Is there any chance for them to have a Cinderella style romance?
This is a hot and spicy romance with a decidedly Indian twist and a heartwarming finale. It is a modern day fairy tale retelling and a quick, easy and enjoyable read packed with the appropriate glitz and glamour of the Bollywood elite. I liked that Naina is not your typical Cinderella as she is highly educated, feisty and resourceful. She is prepared to stand up for herself and lets others know what she thinks of their actions, even Vikram! I suspect this actually makes it a much better read!
My thanks to Harlequin and NetGalley for my copy of this book which I have voluntarily read and honestly reviewed.

Author bio:
Tara writes sexy romances with swoon-worthy heroes and sassy heroines – whether the classic Presents or the bantery contemporaries! Her heroines are sometimes smart badasses and sometimes shy geeks but all of them find the perfect hero. Because every heroine deserves a love story!
Tara lives in Texas with her very own Hero (who’s kind of a mix of Alpha and Beta and is perfect) and two Heroines-in-making. When she isn’t writing or reading, Tara can be found failing in the kitchen, binge-watching her favorite shows on NetFlix, or making resolutions in her pretty planner to exercise more, or even a little.
