What she doesn’t expect is to be landed on a business trip with a famously fiery reporter Rajesh Lagheri. He’s travelling to a business conference for a story, and doesn’t seem impressed by her involvement. But as soon as they’re out of the office, things change, and it becomes clear that there is more to Rajesh’s trip than meets the eye.
As Prisha is drawn into the story he’s trying to hide from their editor, their hunt for the story grows more intense, and she finds herself growing closer to Rajesh.

My thoughts
The story revolves around 2 journalists, Rajesh and Prisha, 1 a seasoned, acclaimed and the other just starting out, on her first assignment.
Their’s is a struck at first sight kind of story. The moment they see each other for the first time, there’s attraction, which grows with every time they cross paths. Their attractions takes a turn towards something more when they travel together for an assignment.
What I liked,
– The story line was sharp and on point. It was paced nicely and as the story takes place in a span of 2-3 weeks there wasn’t any space left for dragging the story unnecessary.
– The characters were pretty okay, they portrayed an edge where their emotions were concerned; which I liked.
– The covertness of gathering information , hunting for that exclusive breaking news item, was all exciting and fun to read.
What I didn’t like,
– I wasn’t sure of the emotions between the characters, there was an element of deceive in their attraction. I felt it could go all wrong and the girl will have het heart broken. Again, I thought she was too trusting and acted entitled to the hero’s affections. So, till the end I was on the edge of their seductive game and waited for it to go wrong.
But true to the title It is a Seductive Affair in the end.
I’d read this story for there’s one thing I like about #indianfiction is it’s fast pace and the fact I can read it in one go, in a day and it’s an enjoyable reading experience.
