(Hard Play #2)
Author: Nalini Singh
Publication Date: September 18th, 2018
Category/Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh continues her Hard Play series with a sweet, sexy romance featuring big, fat, OTT weddings, a meddling grandma, and a too-serious hero who needs to be unbuttoned…
Nayna Sharma agreed to an arranged marriage in the hope it would heal the fractures in her beloved family… only to realize too late that a traditional marriage is her personal nightmare. Panicked, she throws caution to the winds, puts on the tiniest dress she can find, and ends up in the arms of a tall, rough-edged hunk of a man who has abs of steel—and who she manages to mortally insult between one kiss and the next.
Abandoned as a child, then adopted into a loving family, Raj Sen believes in tradition, in continuity. Some might call him stiff and old-fashioned, but he knows what he wants—and it’s a life defined by rules… yet he can’t stop thinking about the infuriating and sexy woman who kissed him in the moonlight then disappeared. When his parents spring an introduction on him, the last woman he expects is her. Beautiful. Maddening. A rule breaker in the making.
He’s all wrong for her. She’s all wrong for him. And love is about to make rebels of them both.

5 “My heart can barely take all these feelings” Stars
This is the best romance
book I read this year. Simple, beautiful, touching, full of feels and sexy AF.
I’m so in love with this
book and these characters I don’t think I have words to describe my feelings.
Nayna is the kind of protagonist
that steals my heart from page one and refuses to give it to back to me even
after the story is over. She’s such a gentle soul. A beautiful person that I
wish was real and my friend. Her desire for freedom and adventure never gets in
the way of her love and respect for her family, and that balance is just
another reason to love her.
Raj is book boyfriend
material at its best. Thoughtful, respectful, serious, committed, sexy, smart.
I can’t even with this man. He’s ridiculously perfect in a way that should be
annoying but totally isn’t. I love, love, love his relationship with his
parents and siblings. He’s one of those men who learned that he should treat
women with the same care and respect he wants men to treat the little sister he
dearly loves. He owes up to his mistakes, fights for the people he cares and
protects them in a way that doesn’t feel suffocating.
The chemisty between Nayna
and Raj is out of this word. I felt every scene between them from start to
finish. Their adorable, sexy and perfect together. It also helps that Raj was
so out-of-this-world in love with Naya. The “man who madly loves the woman who
is reluctant to commit to her feelings” always gets me.
The romance was everything
I didn’t know I needed.
Aside from Nayna and Raj’s
perfect relationship, I adored the family dynamic. It was a beautiful thing to
see both Nayna and Raj interact with their own families and with each other’s
parents, grandparents and siblings. Nayna’s grandmother is probably my favorite
character aside from the main couple. She made me laugh out loud more than a couple
of times. But in truth, I loved everyone in Nayna’s family. Same goes for Raj’s
parents and little sister. In fact, I was dying to read a YA book about Aditi, because she came across as
such a smart and strong young lady.
And there were happy endings delivered like Xmas presents and I can't even bring myself to care that some were unrealistic. Real life is hard so books are allowed to give me as many happy ever afters as they want.
Honestly, I can’t think
about anything I didn’t like in this book. Even the annoying sister-in-law had
her place in the story and the third person narrative, despite not being my
favorite in general, worked wonderfully here. The book was just that amazing!
Well, I don’t know what
you’re doing, but whatever it is can’t be more entertaining than reading this
book, so stop and go get your copy.
