Tropes: Class Difference
I appreciated the Bollywood setting. My favorite part of this was when Naina was reading Vikram for filth, which happened a good amount. And the ending was really cute.

When it comes to fairytale retellings, Cinderella is done pretty often, and I've read enough of them that an author has to really step up their game to impress me. Tara Pammi does put a pretty good spin on it. I really like that Naina isn't the typical Cinderella type of girl, and the chemistry between these two is good. The drawbacks for me lay in the development of the romance and in the conclusion. Basically, I would've liked a bit more on both counts. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the read. The characters are likable, and Pammi does write some great dialogue. All in all, Claiming His Bollywood Cinderella is a quick and entertaining read with engaging characters that make you want to root for them. Tara Pammi is new to me, but I'll be interested to see what she does next.

I loved that this was my first Harlequin Presents. Vikram and Naina feel so real. They’re great foils for each other. Liked the steam but loved the psychology and dialogue even more. Naina’s critiques were good and well handled.

I struggled with this book and ended up skimming the latter half.
I didn’t really warm to either of the main characters and I wasn’t convinced about them as a couple; they seemed to fall in love with the idea of one another more than anything else. Also, there’s often both a fanciful tone and formality to the language that I felt was unnecessary and it disengaged me as a reader.
The story does symbolically take you to India; the characters are both involved in the Bollywood movie industry, clothing, food, history and language all gets a mention.
