"Trouble has a new name" by Adite Banerjee - Typical Mills & Boons!
This book is published by Harlequin non fiction in 2015 and has 192 pages.
Rayna Dutt is dumped by Sid Verma. The very next day she has to fly to Andaman Island for her best friend, Milee's, wedding. No time to recover. On the chartered flight to Andaman, she encounters Neel.
Can Rayna overcome Sid? Will the marriage take her away from Sid? How would the wedding pan out? Will Rayna be attracted to Neel on rebound?
It's a boy meets girl romantic novel. But the protagonists are grappling with memories of painful past. Rayna is on a rebound and takes a number of rash decisions hopping from one trouble to another, though, in the end it all turns out good. Neel has erected emotional barriers around him, based on past experience, to ensure no girl can cross them. He has an aversion to commitment and marriage.
Author deserves credit for choosing perfect backdrop for the story. A grand marriage is a beautiful backdrop for a romantic novel. You get a lot of characters of all types, there are many occasions of willing / unwilling encounters. Destination wedding at a resort on a picturesque island in Andaman adds to the exotic atmosphere and duration wedding is also long (many days together).
There aren't many twists and turns in the story, no major upheavals or surprises yet the story is arresting. The recipe is simple yet effective. Two beautiful individuals, beautiful locations, drama, passion, erotic scenes, heartbreak, misunderstandings and happy ending.
Why did I read this book? Hadn't read romance for a while.
What I didn't like? Lack of heart touching emotional scenes.
What did I like? Backdrop.
Read if you like Mills & Boons novels.
