Right Swipe (Rai) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
The plot… feels propulsive and complex…. Much rests on [Rhiannon and Samson's] memories of the strong chemistry they discovered in their first night together. At first this feels like a bit of an emotional shortcut, but the real depth—and much of the book's joy—comes from the natural growth of their mutual trust and connection. It's especially intriguing to watch Rhiannon open up. She's prickly and often emotionally closed-off, but vulnerable, too. She slips between stereotypes, always more complicated than she seems.
New York Times Book Review


(Starred review) [A] luscious contemporary series launch.… Both Rhi and Samson are learning how to enjoy life and balance each other beautifully as they face realistic conflicts and tantalizing romance and sensuality. This winning novel will enhance any romance reader’s collection.

Library Journal


Rai turns up the heat and finds the funny in modern dating…. But it’s not all steamy, as the characters have issues with trust and love, making them vulnerable both to each other and the public.… Rai scores a touchdown.
Booklist


[A] new series by a writer known for her expansive view of what a romance novel can do…. Rai addresses heavy issues without sacrificing passionate sensuality or emotional connection.… An ex-football player woos an entrepreneur in a high-tech romance that proves respect is the most potent love drug.
