This book started badly for me. I am not a fan of ditzy females. I like strong female protagonists. I was unhappy with ...oh, about the first quarter of this book. However, I quickly changed my mind when I saw how this story was going, and I absolutely adored Dev (the male protagonist). I finally got to the point where I just could not put this book down. I just had to see how this all worked out.

If you don't like descriptive sex scenes, don't worry; there are only a couple, and Dev and Jia do wait until they are married.

SYNOPSIS: " First Comes Like (Modern Love, #3)

by 

Alisha Rai (Goodreads Author)

Beauty expert and influencer Jia Ahmed has her eye on the prize: conquering the internet today, the entire makeup industry tomorrow, and finally, finally proving herself to her big opinionated family. She has little time for love, and even less time for the men in her private messages—until the day a certain international superstar slides into her DMs, and she falls hard and fast.

There’s just one wrinkle: he has no idea who she is.

The son of a powerful Bollywood family, soap opera star Dev Dixit is used to drama, but a strange woman who accuses him of wooing her online, well, that’s a new one. As much as he’d like to focus on his Hollywood fresh start, he can’t get Jia out of his head. Especially once he starts to suspect who might have used his famous name to catfish her…

When paparazzi blast their private business into the public eye, Dev is happy to engage in some friendly fake dating to calm the gossips and to dazzle her family. But as the whole world swoons over their relationship, Jia can’t help but wonder: Can an online romance-turned-offline-fauxmance ever become love in real life?
