The Right Swipe is about a dating app creator named Rhiannon who thought she was over the guy who ghosted her until she runs into him again, months later. Samson is a former pro-football player who is now in league with a business rival. He wants a second chance but Rhiannon is wary.
This book is well... a thing. While the story goes off into important topics it all feels unnecessary in what should have just been a cute romance novel. The romance didn't work for me either and wow the smut really started early.
I was listening to the audiobook and while the narrator for Rhiannon was fine, Samson triggered my fight or flight response. I hated his voice and I didn't like his character either. Just throw away his entire POV, it wasn't needed and just ruined half of the book.
I've read another book about dating apps before and it didn't work for me then and it doesn't work for me now. I just, don't care??
I can see other people loving this book but it wasn't for me at all and it was so hard for me to get into, and finish.

The first rom com chick lit book I enjoyed for this year. It was light hearted and a simple read with a simple plot. Alisha managed to make the characters likable and the content was very relatable in the current technology age.

This was a really well done romance novel. The series title of modern love is super fitting I found. This book did things differently compared to most "modern" romances and it felt more realistic. I mean as realistic as these types of books can get!

The Right Swipe is the first book in Alisha Rai’s Modern Love series. This book follows Rhiannon Hunter as she focuses on building her global online dating empire. The only thing standing in her way? A (very memorable) one night stand from a few years ago- Samson Lima. Samson is a former football player who hooked up with Rhi… and then ran away quickly. But Rhi has moved on and she is not going to let her feelings get in the way of her business’s success. Full of heart, feminism, and lots of sexual tension, The Right Swipe is perfect for fans of The Wedding Date series by Jasmine Guillory. Both of the main characters have so many dimensions you will learn something new throughout the entire story. Each chapter will have the reader more and more invested in Rhi and Samson’s happily ever after!

Rhiannon was one of my favorite FMC I've read about lately. She didn't take anyone's crap, and I love that. I didn't like Samson at first, but once he was able to explain why he ghosted her, he grew on me. I'd do the same thing if I were in his place.

Started reading this during a bit of late-night insomnia and it failed to cure what ails me. I was so engrossed that I managed to wrap it up before the end of the day. Rhi and Samson are wonderful characters and I love the sexual empowerment message. They have chemistry, there's humor, and there's just enough angst to appeal to my inner teenage girl.
