Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai

5.0

I received an ARC of this title from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Former model Katrina King values her privacy, mostly because of a previous kidnapping and an anxiety condition. Now she helps fund start-ups, and is working with a therapist; she's finally found ten places she can go outside of the house without having a panic attack. Everything is going great, until she shares a table at a cafe on a busy day.

Jas Singh has been Katrina's personal bodyguard ever since her late husband died, and was part of their security team ever since he came back from a tour of duty that ended with a medical discharge. He likes his job. And he likes Katrina more. And not just because she's a great boss. He's been ignoring his problems, though, until he is forced to face them...

When that day at the cafe results in Katrina going viral against her will as #CuteCafeGirl, part of a made-up Twitter saga documenting her supposed meet-cute with #CafeBae, Katrina wants to be anywhere but home. Jas whisks her away to his family's farm in Northern California. While tucked away in safety, will they address the growing feelings between them?

This second installment in Rai's "Modern Love" series is just as fun, flirty, and timely as the first. "Girl Gone Viral" is fantastic, as are Katrina and Jas! You'll be rooting for them from start to finish!
