Romantic Guerrilla Review:
I received an e-copy of this book from the author in exchange for my opinion and review.
This was actually a fun book to read. I initially felt hesitant in reading a few chapters because I didn’t really like Subash as the main character. He came off as a very crass, uncouth fellow and it was hard to imagine him as a smart innovative entrepreneur. However, the story picks up after Subash gets thrown by the Bhasani family. After that, it is a rollercoaster ride of adventure and mayhem!
I also really liked DS Kumar’s style of writing. The plot is smooth, easy to follow, and fast-paced. There are prominent businesses in India that overthrow smaller companies headed by such families who can literally buy anything or anyone. So it was interesting to see how a common man would try to bring them down in a delightfully evil way. The characters are down to earth, and even though I would not want to be in their situation, I could still relate to them. Moreover, I even started to like Subash and how forms his new Guerrilla team to bring the Bhasani family down. In fact, I enjoyed the supporting cast more than Subash in certain areas, particularly Mohini and Vijay.
My only concern with this book is in its detailed explicit sex scenes. I am sure it will appeal to a certain set of readers who enjoy this. But personally I felt like it stepped away from the plot and was unnecessary, and could have been written in a more tasteful manner.
But apart from that, I really did enjoy this novel and would be interested in picking up the author’s future works.
