REVIEW OF ‘TROUBLE HAS A NEW NAME’ BY ADITE BANERJIE

                Weddings can be a magical occasion and Indian weddings even more so. Beautiful model Rayna Dutt has come to an Indian Ocean island to attend her best friend’s wedding. However, behind her mesmerizing smile there lies a pool of pain and heartache. Ditched by her boyfriend on the verge of her moving in with him; she proposes a make believe engagement to Neel Arora the owner of the resort where she is staying to attend her friend’s wedding. She does this to get away from the press, inquisitive friends and relatives from her past and to save face in front of the very man who ditched her. Somewhere is all this Rayna realizes that she wants more than just a pretend engagement. She wants a real relationship.

                Suave, sophisticated, successful Neel; who hides his guilty demons away behind a mask of efficiency and indifference. He is blown away by Rayna but is too scared to admit it; sure that his past will catch up with him over here too and destroy everything.

                

                Will Neel be able to conquer his fears and go to Rayna before she gives up on him?

                This is the second book that I have read of Adite Banerjies and yet again I was captivated by her settings and her descriptions. They were beautiful and just pulled you in. Neel’s anguish at his sister’s condition was palpable and the strength of Rayna came through in her ability to deal with whatever life threw her way. The passion between them is electric and fairly bounced off the pages. What really stayed with me though was the spirit Rayna brings to the situation even when she is absolutely down in the dumps and at her lowest.

 She gets up; the smile is flashed once again for ‘the show must go on.’

Review of The Indian Tycoon’s Marriage Deal.

Krish is the quintessential alpha male, suave, sophisticated, uber good looking, well educated and in his world the bad fly is his father; manipulative, arrogant K.D to whom the end always justify the means. Enter Maya, the beautiful landscape designer who has her own axe to grind with K.D for sins past and the stage is set for ‘The Indian Tycoon’s Marriage Deal’.
Sexual chemistry define their meetings right from the start and when circumstances force Krish to offer Maya a ‘marriage contract’, each of them enter it with their own personal agenda but at the same time given their attraction towards each other, it is not exactly something they don’t want to do.
Set against a backdrop of big business families and even bigger business deals TIYMD moves at a fast pace, bringing all the myriad pieces together deftly to culminate in a romantic climax.
Adite Banerjie has given us a beautifully descriptive romance; when she described the gardens, I felt I was there on the grass looking out at them; when she talked about K.D’s mansion and the family estate; I could look up and see it all for myself. The riverside at Howrah, Maya’s trousseau, Deovan etc they were all woven into rich tapestries. The emotions between Maya and Krish were also well penned; their longing, their desire; their ambivalence; their insecurities all came through.
There were times I felt like asking Krish “you are this amazing, talented person, why are you still with the boor of a man you call your father?” 
Likewise for Maya “why did you have to go rifling through the storage at night? You had the keys and the right to be there in the day too.”
BUT if they had done what I had asked them too, the story would not have happened.
For me the icing on the cake was the tender relationship that Krish had with his mother. His angst at not being able to be there for her came through so well and it was exquisite in its compassion.
A good read, I would give it four and a half stars.
