꧁༒•Book Review # 165 Breaking All The Rules: Sapna Bhog•༒꧂

Blurb:

A workaholic by day, a playboy by night – that is the reputation which precedes RITHWIK BALI – India’s most eligible bachelor - he always manages to create a stir, no matter where he goes or what he does. Tired of his extravagant lifestyle, his father gives him an ultimatum – marry within six months or relinquish his position as the Managing Director of his company. However, Rithwik’s dilemma is that he’s not ready for marriage. Time is running out unless he comes up with a plan.

After surviving a dark tragedy, working as the personal assistant to the MD of Fortuna International is a dream job for AISHA SOLANKI, up until her boss proposes to her – a temporary engagement for six months. With her back against the wall and unable to decline all that Rithwik Bali has to offer, Aisha has a tough choice to make. However, spending the next few months engaged in a mock courtship is not how Aisha envisioned her future, especially since she finds herself drawn to her dynamic, charismatic new boss.

Proposing their fictional engagement to Aisha was easy for Rithwik – after she proves her loyalty to him time and time again, the plan just clicked into place. But when this game of deception unexpectedly changes to something more, then all bets are off and rules will be broken!

Is falling for your fake fiance a happy ending or a recipe for disaster?

My Take:

Ritwik Bali is debonair, devastating and a charming businessmen who likes to live life king size literally. He loves adventure sports and indulge in them frequently much to the dismay of his parents. His affairs are all over the news, so is his taste in women; especially Ivana Kher. She is hell bent in making his life hell and splashing his lifestyle allover. Fed up of his daredevil lifestyle his parents issue an ultimatum of getting married or resigning as the head of Fortuna; his company. He also has a secret which if leaked in media will create havoc. Pushed against the wall what will Ritwik do?

Aisha Solanki, a simle girl who likes to fade in her own shadows and stay invisible works for Ritwik. A head strong girl who has a mind of her own,yet vulnerable because of her past and cold relationship with her wall, Ritwik offered a proposal of fake engagement. With loans and responsibilities and circumstances she is forced to accept it. But what happens when two extremely opposite people come together? With sparks flying and clash of ego and their fiery personalities? Will they pull what they pretend to or will the fake turn real? Read the book to find out.

The characters are well etched. The friends make an appearance here too and gel with the story well. Diya and Vijay, (from the previous book ) enter and reenter respectively. Their story is forming in the background which makes it more interesting.. Grab a copy now and I promise you won't regret reading this high profile Sehgal family and friends story.
