“Scorched by his fire” is one of its kind contemporary romance novel. Based in Mauritius, it all starts with Mita meeting Tanay at her best friend Samrat’s house warming party. Tanay, Samrat’s brother-in-law, suspects Samrat of having an extramarital affair with Mita, which is not true. Mita’s uncle is desperately in search for the perfect groom for her.

The end is sure to make one smile.

• Appreciations:

A third person narration was the best thing about the book because it gave an insight to the minds of both the characters and led the plot very well. Intimate scenes have been described with sheer decency, not making them seem vulgar, which is very commendable and not everyone’s cup of tea, but Reet has pulled it off brilliantly.
