I love this book! Seriously, this is the best book I have read from Alisha Rai so far and it just makes me excited to see what else she has in store for us. My excitement might make my review sound really funky, but its so good.
Maira Khan is a prodigal ER doctor who has loved her friend, Sacha (the brother from the previous book, Veiled Desire) from afar, until a shooting that put Sacha's life in danger, makes her realize that she needs to do something about her love. Sacha also has the hots for...more

To be honest, I liked this one a lot better than I liked Veiled Desire.
Sasha ends up hospitalized after saving kids from being gunned down. Maira who's a long term friend of both Sasha and his family is the youngest in her profession. At least, at her hospital. When she finds out that the police officer who had been injured was Sasha, her calm and collected exterior falls to pieces. And with Mason, Sasha's best friend and brother in law to witness. On the up side, at least Sasha wasn't awake.

Veiled Seduction is the second installment in Alisah Rai’s Veiled series. It can be read as stand alone but Veiled Desire, the first novella in the series, will give a bit of family history and a brief introduction to Sasha, the hero in this story.
Dr. Maira Khan is a cool character, confident and professional. But when she discovers her good friend Sasha Karimi has been brought into the hospital, having been shot in the line of duty, her cool professional exterior instantly melts away and is re...more

Note: This book starts with the physician heroine and police officer hero dealing with the aftermath of a school shooting, which might make it sensitive reading for anyone who has the Newtown/Sandy Hook tragedy in mind.
This novella feels like a full romance novel should; the story is compelling, the characters fleshed out, the writing focussed, the romance believable instead of rushed - overall exactly what I want from my romance reading (which I suppose might disappoint those who picked this up...more

This was longer and more developed than Veiled Desire. It's the story of Leyla's (the heroine from Veiled Desire) younger brother, Sasha. I love the character development, sexual tension, and dialogue for both books a lot.
What I liked about this book was that the conflicts in the way of the HEA felt believable. There was some lack of communication, but not the stupid I-can't-believe-you-won't-just-SAY-it kind--instead, the awkward kind you have at the beginning of a relationship. Sasha did some...more

Sasha has just become the hero of the town. After a man opened fire on a school playground, police offer Sasha happened to be in the right place at the right time. He gunned down the shooter, risking his life but saving so many. Rushed to the hospital for a bullet wound to the leg, Maira, the ER doctor freaks out when she is informed her good friend has been admitted. As Sasha lay under heavy sedation, Maira lets out all her hidden emotions of love she has been holding in secretly towards Sasha....more
This book didn't grab me quite as much as book one did, but Ms Rai still delivered on it. Solid characters and a believeable story line.
I did have one peeve this time around. This was a story about Maira and Sasha, yet Ms Rai put in a very explicit scene with Leyla and Mason. They had their story told in the previous book, so the whole thing seemed too out of place to make any sense. It's as if it was put there to satisfy more sex-demand from the publisher or something.
And again, rather lax work...more

This ebook is the second in the Veiled series. I love this author and was so excited to get to read Sasha's story. I must admit that I liked the first Veiled better, but this ran a close second. There was great emotional depth in the characters and the romance sizzled. I didn't feel the flutter in my stomach like I normally do with Ms. Rai's stories, but it was a nice read. I must say that the build up to the sex scene was the bulk of the book. It was a bit long. There were points where i wanted...more
I rated this story 3 stars because even though it didn't work for me at all, it's not badly written. My gut reaction was to give it 1 star but that hardly seems fair--I can see why so many like this story.
My issues with this story:
1. Virgin heroine in a contemporary - Not a big deal, really, since I realize that being annoyed about virgin heroines in Romance would be as ridiculous as hating the HEA. This wouldn't have gotten more than an eye roll for me if so many other things didn't bother me....more

Thought this was too short. Really glossed over the conflict as it barely existed. Disappointed.
Short, but so lovely :)
3.5 stars
2.5, Closer to 3 than 2.
great...but ending was kinda abrupt and the book overall was kinda short for me;p

“What are you doing?”
“What does it look like? I’m getting down on my knees.”
His head butted against her stomach. Her muscles clenched, shocked at the touch, even through the layer of cotton.
“I’ve never begged a woman for anything before. Enjoy this.”
She tried to think of something sufficiently sassy. “Enjoy it? I can’t even see it.”
“It’s symbolic.”

“Let’s not get started on their uniforms. Superman’s stretchy spandex has nothing on Batman’s sculpted pecs.”
He glared at her. “You cannot bring fashion sense into a superhero discussion!”
“If they wear it, it’s fair game.” She folded her arms on the table.”
