BOOK REVIEW: Girl Gone Viral (Modern Love #2) By Alisha Rai

One minute, Katrina King’s enjoying an innocent conversation with a hot guy at a coffee shop; the next, a stranger has live-tweeted the entire episode with a romantic meet-cute spin and #CafeBae is the new hashtag-du-jour. The problem? Katrina craves a low-profile life, and going viral threatens the peaceful world she’s painstakingly built. Besides, #CafeBae isn’t the man she’s hungry for... With the internet on the hunt for the identity of #CuteCafeGirl, Jas Singh, bodyguard, friend, and possessor of the most beautiful eyebrows Katrina’s ever seen, comes to the rescue and whisks her away to his family’s home. Alone in a remote setting with the object of her affections? It’s a recipe for romance. But after a long dating dry spell, Katrina isn’t sure she can trust her instincts when it comes to love—even if Jas’ every look says he wants to be more than just her bodyguard…

So it would seem like I am on a total Alisha Rai kick right now. I have recently read several books by her, but I can't help it. She is amazing!! Right Swipe was the first book in this series and also the very first book I read by this author. You don't have to read that one first at all. But after finishing the first one, I knew I wanted to read Katrina's story. Katrina is sweet and loyal and somewhat naive at times and she also struggles with panic disorder and agoraphobia. And can I just say that I need a Katrina in my life to cook for me?? All of her food sounded AMAZING! Anyway, Jas is Katrina's security guard and is struggling with PTSD after his time in the Army. These two people are struggling with their attraction to each other and with their emotions. It was frustrating at times, the lack of communication on their part. But both characters had histories that made it difficult for them to admit what they were feeling. Even though the romance was a very slow burn, the author still did an incredible job of showing their chemistry and showing how much these people cared for each other. And I loved how Katrina grew throughout the book and how she started working through her issues. This was a fantastic read and I really can't wait for the next in the series!
