Hard meh, sadly. I've really enjoyed all the other Alisha Rai I've read, but this was not great. I'm not afraid of erotic romance, but I like a little more character development and maybe plot structure to go with it. Longer details/criticism behind cut: I didn't understand why Devi would just decide to go home with these two dudes she barely knew and immediately enter into a quasi-BDSM fling with them, I didn't think Jace's getting upset at her not wanting to go public about them within a week was reasonable, I didn't find the backstory/explanation for why these two brothers have this kind of relationship to be convincing at all, I don't think there was enough work done to show why Devi, who we're told is a shy/retiring type, would suddenly be into this (not kink-shaming at all, but I don't think the characters are developed enough to show this change occurring). Anyway. Possibly would've DNF-ed if not for summer romance bingo, but I'd recommend literally any other Alisha Rai over this one.

(2020 summer romance bingo: cover has a large piece of jewelry on it. Would also work for debut novel, possibly meddling matchmakers.)
