Loved it! Loved it! Just Loved this with all my heart 💛

Pick it up if you want to read a perfect romance book with heart touching emotions from every character & pinch of Indian culture added ♥️

I was so sure Sierra & Xavier's will be my favourite book of this series. Lex & Raya came out of the syllabus. 

I knew, I would love Lex from the glimpses I got from the previous book but seriously I was obsessed with him a few pages into this (Nope not exaggerating :p) 

I read another book after this but the hangover I have over this book is unreal. If I could get a chance to read this book for the first time again just to go through all the emotions I had while reading this, I will do it without blinking my eye (⁠。⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠。⁠)

Lex was everything like everything. He was sweet, adorable, possessive &  goes to any extreme to protect his loved ones. I got to experience his emotions throughout the book. My heart was literally fluttering for the way he fell for Raya. 

Raya was really a beautiful soul. The way she carried her throughout the book was unbelievable. And seriously she was intelligent & just knew what she wanted. The way she out right conveyed her love for Lex & the way she was patient was unreal & really heartwarming (⁠✿⁠ ⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠)

For me personally, I just fell for Lex right off the hook but with Raya, I fell gradually & ended up loving her more :p

I felt each & every moment of Lex & Raya's relationship, from my heart racing faster & literally having it in my hand in the last few pages. 

Seriously Lex? I just kind of hated for what he did. I don't understand but the way he worked back to get her back kind of made up. & The lines he tells to Raya after that 3 weeks just made me cry like literally I cried. 

As an Indian reader, I loved those Indian touches & bollywood references.& I can totally relate to Bob's father instinct. Lex's relationship with Bob & Meera was so adorable.

I kind of liked Adam, so I was literally half way through praying that he is not a villain here. 

Masala Chai? Count me In 💚

Now I really need Sierra & Xavier's story, I'm already low key obsessed with them ♡⁠
