“Undercover Affection” was my first read by Charlene Namdhari. What I loved about this book was the writing style and also the plot in general. I also felt like it was pretty fast paced. I felt like certain aspects of this book were just a little bit unrealistic. I also had a sense of de ja vu during certain scenes. Even so, there were definitely a lot of twists and turns throughout. I enjoyed this book for the most part.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4

Not a bad read. Would have like some more character development. But i liked the idea behind the story. it was a fast read and very entertaining.

Overall I enjoyed this book. It dragged a bit in the middle, and the outcome was predictable but the chemistry between the main characters was sizzling and kept it interesting.

I received a copy of this book from the author via Netgalley

Ok, so this is the first book that I have received via Netgalley and the blurb and cover really drew me in. I admit I wasn't sure about the book when I first started reading it but when Ashni and Avi met things improved. The sex scenes were hot but I have a few issues with this book unfortunately:

- Ashni's used of martial arts - can't say I've ever read a book when someone gets karate chopped and breaking a pool cue in half doesn't turn it into nunchucks (that I am aware of)
- If Avi is a billionaire playboy, then why is the most daring thing he has done is have sex on a chair??
- I didn't see that twist coming but admittedly I am also no sure how believable it was either

Overall not a bad way to kill a few hours of my life

Book: Undercover Affection
Author: Charlene Namdhari

Publisher: Backlit PR
Date: May 28, 2019
Format: Ebook | Netgalley
Rating: 1/5

Undercover Affection could have been a book about a tough as nail detective who goes undercover to take down a billionaire.

When I started this book I had high hopes that it would be that sexy thriller that it promised to be in the description. It wasn’t.

Charlene Namdhari promised a detective that could take down drug lords, accept this detective -and the fact that she was one -wasn’t actually relevant to the story. Undercover cops don’t return to talk to their supervisors in a police department and they certainly don’t walk into bars with their partners and pull out a badge. An example of the basic knowledge you can google about how undercover cases work.

Just the fact that the detective used her real name would have been enough to crumble her undercover. Billionaires have google.

The writing was an old classic. Strange analogies and the dialogue was repetitive. The main character knew little about Mr. Rai, which opened up holes for the author to place backstory and emotions for the reader, accept again, she's a detective which means she would already know all of this. There's even a scene where she and a friend are talking about googling Mr. Rai.

A police case is built on background research.

I’m giving this book a one-star review. The plot was obvious, the characters had little distinction between each other, and the main character just wasn’t what the description promised.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
While the heroine was a badass detective her romance with the hero felt flat and unoriginal. She goes undercover to reveal the illegal practices at his business and things get heated between them but It lacked the necessary spark to keep me interested. Just not for me.

I loved that Ashni was such an amazing kick-ass cop. We need more strong female characters like this!
#UndercoverAffection has a worthy suspenseful plot with such a great sexy romance story intertwined.
I'm looking forward to Charlene Namdhari's next book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks #NetGalley

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion. Wow, this book kept me on the edge of my seat right from the beginning. Avi and Ash are two people that connected instantly and had great chemistry.

Once Avi finds out though that Ash is somewhat deceiving him will he be able to move on from that and is he truly a criminal as Ash investigates?

Ash is a tough as nails detective surrounded by male co-workers who have learned to respect her the hard way, as have the criminals of NYC. She is tasked to work undercover to work out if hunky billionaire, Avinash Rai, is a criminal mastermind or in the wrong place at the wrong time. She feels an instant affinity with him, which makes her job an awful lot harder. Talk about girl power, you have to suspend belief for some of this story but its certainly action and thrill packed. Entertaining. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

This is Avinash and Ashni book, Ashni is A tough as nails detective and she’s got no time for love! She’s taken down all kinds of bad guys so going undercover is easy! That is until she has to spy on a sexy billionaire! Avinash is a hard-working billionaire he’s honest to a fault he takes what he wants and he mostly gets what he wants he’s a man women don’t ignore! That is until a sexy stranger keep showing up at all his usual hangouts but she doesn’t even glance in his direction, intrigued by her he’s up for the challenge! This book was definitely a different breed for me, it’s not my usual type at all LOL it was definitely a good book some parts were really really far-fetched but I understand that seems what the author was going for?! There was definitely a lot of suspense and a lot of action but like I said it was a little out there and some parts so if you don’t mind that then his books for you! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
