Author: Alisha Kay
Genre: Rom-Com
Format: E-book

The Maharaja’s Fake Fiancée by Alisha Kay is the first book in the Devgarh Royal Series. It is the story of Nivy Sharma who is an actress and lived in Mumbai before coming home to Devgarh, where she meets Veerendra Singh, the Maharaja of Devgarh, again, after five years. When her mother tries to match her up with a man approved by her, and Veer is being sighted by the Princess of Tejpur whom he can’t stand, they both propose a fake engagement. What will happen when the ‘fake’ does not seem that fake anymore? Will they be able to give a second chance to each other or will their past come in their way? Read the book to know more.

This is my third book by the author this year and I am in love with her writing. I read the third book in the series “The Price And The Runaway Bride” earlier than this, and after reading it, I knew I needed to read the earlier parts of the series as well, and “Bad Girl Gone Good” is definitely one of my favourite reads of this year, so I have had high hopes with the book, and thankfully it didn’t disappoint!

I loved reading the banter between the protagonists’ and the names that Nivy gave to “His Highness”. The book has a very fast pace and there is a lot of drama and things happening. The book gave a lot of Bollywood vibes and it was very filmy and entertaining.

The characters have their share of problems and the family dynamics play a key role in the book. Nivy’s relationship with her parents is quite complicated and so does with her brother Aryan. At the same time, Veer finds himself quite comfortable with her family, and the contrast gives a beautiful perspective to the story.

Although I felt that the ending was a little rushed and if given a little more time, it would have been more connective. Also, I would have loved to see more of the protagonists’ character development with each other and their families. And I can’t wait to see more of Rani Ma, hopefully in the next part of the series. The characters of Jessie and Aryan were quite intriguing and I am excited to read about them in the next part.

It’s a book that can easily be finished in a day and something that can uplift your mood and recuse you from your reading slump, in case you have! Overall, it was a fun, humourous, fast-paced rom-com that can entertain you.

I was provided an e-book in exchange for an honest review.

You can buy the book from Amazon or any bookstore near you!
