CLP Blog Tours Book Review: Vegas to Varanasi by Shelly Hickman

vegas to varanasiReviewer: Samantha

Shelly Hickman is on tour now with Vegas to Varanasi and CLP Blog Tours

Synopsis:

Anna has never been the beautiful one; she’s always been the nice one. So when the gorgeous man sitting across the table at a wedding reception remembers her from high school—and quite fondly at that—she’s taken off guard.

Formerly overweight and unpopular, Kiran has never forgotten Anna, the one person who was kind to him when no one else could be bothered, and Anna’s a bit flustered as she slowly comes to grips with his intense attraction for her.

In what feels like a romantic dream come true, all-grown-up, hunky Kiran invites Anna on a trip to Varanasi. But her troubled, whack-a-do ex-boyfriend starts interfering, creating drama at every turn, which begs the question, “Can nice girls really finish first?”

Review:

I have also read Somewhere Between Black and White by Hickman, and was interested to read her next offering. This book really caught my attention from the beginning. The writing is solid and the storyline was built up in just the right way. There are a lot of little pieces that create the plot, and each one was well written and interesting. I enjoyed a different type of romance book than I normally read – typically with first loves as I read a lot of new adult – but it wasn’t slow or too heavy as some can be. I also loved the traveling to Varanasi as I’m a huge travel buff, and that really added a lot to the story as a whole. Very good read!

4 stars
