review 1: Veiled Desire is the first book I’ve read by Alisha Rai. It’s a charming and romantic story of a slightly older woman, (only by 4 years) who finds herself attracted to her younger brother’s best friend Mason. Mason lives in the house behind Leyla’s and has been carrying a torch for her for quite some time. They have a long history together having grown up very close and now he feels the time is right for seduction. Leyla has been a sort of mother figure to Mason and her younger brother due to circumstances of their childhood. But now she finds herself romantically attracted to Mason, seeing him as a sexy man rather than a kid, and her feelings are conflicted. Leyla is hesitant to give in to her attraction to Mason, however she is finding it more and more diffi... morecult to resist when she discovers she has a very nice view into his house. Leyla is a conservative girl on the outside with a secret naughty nature just waiting for the right man to bring it out.Mason is the kind of neighbor every single girl would dream of having. He’s a sexy doctor who knows how to cook and isn’t afraid to strut around the house in his whitey tighties. He’s a bit of a tease, but has every intention of following through on his seduction of Leyla. While relatively confident he’ll win Leyla’s heart, the only thing that could stand in the way is Sasha, his best friend and who also happens to be Leyla’s overprotective younger brother. (Sasha is the hero in the next book in the series Veiled Seduction.) I very much enjoyed this romantic novella. It’s a straight forward love story of two people who’s friendship blossoms into romance. Alisha Rai infuses her characters with her witty sense of humor and creates characters that are loveable and realistic, with sexy chemistry that will steam up your e-reader. If you’re in the mood for a quick, nicely paced, sexy romance, then you’ll want to check out Alisha Rai’s Veiled Desire.Favorite Quote: Leyla let out a soft groan. Had he gone to tell Sasha that his cougar of a big sister had become a Peeping Tom?
review 2: A cute older woman, friends-to-lovers IR. Leyla is a 31 year old woman who starts of peeping on her younger brother's best friend. She has basically raised the boys 10 years ago, but now Mason is no longer the chubby surrogate younger brother. He's one hunky doctor, who cooks. Mason is only 4 years younger, but along with the unspoken rule not to sleep with your best friend's sister, Leyla has been a mother-figure since the death of his father. The real complication is Mr. younger brother, neither wants to hurt him.It's short and steamy, covering all bases, though never going beyond. It's not spectacular, but it is nice to read. It has all my favorite themes, but I was really hoping for more family tension. Maybe that's just me, but there was not enough complication.I really didn't like the book cover. Mason is so much hotter in my head and Leyla is not nearly that voluptuous in her descriptions. A decent read. Makes you feel all gooey inside, but it was too run of the mill. It could have been outstanding if the culture was exoticized or had more family tension. I liked it but the IR factor had no impact at all. there was no culture difference since they practically grew up together (or she actually raised him for part of the time). less
