THE BLURB:
Prisha Khatri is a regular college graduate, focused on her career, desperate to finally move out of her parents’ house and freshly dumped by her successful fiancé. When she lands a job at a prestigious media house, she’s glad to have something to take her mind off her heartbreak. What she doesn’t expect is to be landed on a business trip with a famously fiery reporter Rajesh Lagheri. He’s travelling to a business conference for a story and doesn’t seem impressed by her involvement. But as soon as they’re out of the office, things change and it becomes clear that there is more to Rajesh’s trip than meets the eye. As Prisha is drawn into the story he’s trying to hide from their editor, their hunt for the story grows more intense and she finds herself growing closer to Rajesh. As their chemistry threatens to overwhelm them and Prisha is pulled deeper into the Seductive Affair, she must decide what matters most to her matters of the head or of the heart.
THE REVIEW:
My first thought on the book would be that it is a very predictable plot that the author has remarkably intricated such that the reader is dicy to reach the end.
Early into the plot we meet Prisha a career oriented independent woman who breaks up with her fiance for a reason I totally get, to pursue her name into not becoming just another housewife. Prisha moves over and takes a job in a company that values her for everything she is and for fighting for her rights. There she meets Rajesh, another journalist. There is a very evident spark from the beginning and while both of them are strong career minded individuals neither can ignore the attraction they feel for each other. We go through the story of how they uncover a big news piece and eventually pieces fall into their places for both of them.
I liked how the author could keep a level headed story with turns without a very intricate or rather fresh plotline. And as again I have two different rating standards for Indian and foreign authors because comparing both is doing neither a good. Rishabh Puri as far as Indian authors are considered is an amazing author with a remarkable linguistic ettiqute and impeccable make reader turn pages trait.
Read it for a light fluffy one time thing.

Title : Seductive affairAuthor : Rishabh PuriPublishers : Srishti publishersComing from Rishabh Puri I expected more fun and a better love story. To say I was disappointed with the plot and story is an understatement. Too many errors. Bad proof reading, poorly edited and not so interesting plot.For one time light read, this book is good. If you have too much in your plate you can read this book to distract yourself for a while. It’s short and written in simple English.Characters are so plain and so confusing. I expected characters to develop maturely and make the story more interesting. The ending was too obvious. I don’t want to spoil it for new readers. The start of their relationship was weird.The concept of feminism has been discussed in a very subtle way which was interesting and good in the book. So many places I felt the story has been rushed. Mistakes with the last name of female lead (Khatri/Laghari) and the place of conference (Bangalore/Mumbai) was apparent.Title :I don’t how this related with the story. There was no seduction. It was your average day to day love story with tint of Bollywood.Cover :Is beautiful and attractive.Plot:As I have already mentioned it could have been better. Rishabh Puri has set a standard with his previous books. We expect better from him. This plot was a little dissatisfying.No matter how small your engagement is, no matter if you have loved someone or not, but if you stay together with someone for a time you develop a sense of attraction which isn’t easy to forget and move on so easily.The female lead is so confusing and male was so obvious. There was nothing new in their love story. The insight of Journalists career and their life was intriguing. And The ending was expected.Writing :I love Rishabh’s writing. Always simple and beautiful. But in this book, I think he has used the same words frequently. The description of her feelings could have been deep.Overall :Even though I found so many things negative in this book I heartily enjoyed reading it.Definitely I would recommend others to read it too. For one time read it’s good. And even the price is Alos affordable.My rating 🌟🌟🌟 3/5.
