The Right Swipe
The Right Swipe: A Novel | Alisha Rai
102 posts | 88 read | 63 to read
Alisha Rai returns with the first book in her sizzling new Modern Love series, in which two rival dating app creators find themselves at odds in the boardroom but in sync in the bedroom. Rhiannon Hunter may have revolutionized romance in the digital world, but in real life she only swipes right on her careerand the occasional hookup. The cynical dating app creator controls her love life with a few key rules: - Nude pics are by invitation only - If someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice - Protect your heart Only there aren't any rules to govern her attraction to her newest match, former pro-football player Samson Lima. The sexy and seemingly sweet hunk woos her one magical night... and disappears. Rhi thought she'd buried her hurt over Samson ghosting her, until he suddenly surfaces months later, still big, still beautifuland in league with a business rival. He says he won't fumble their second chance, but she's wary. A temporary physical partnership is one thing, but a merger of hearts? Surely thats too high a risk

Rhi is the owner of the next new dating app but only uses it for anonymous hookups, never spending more than one night with a man. Until one changes her mind, then ghosts her, hardening her heart even more. Then, Rhi sees him again months later as the face of a competing dating site.

This was a nice romance, although it‘s not as light as your usual rom com. Pretty good!

I read this dedication a few days ago & it made me think of the past. I spent a large portion of my 22 years being made to feel weak & insignificant, and I Just started to feel like I deserve better 3/ 4 years ago. This dedication reminded me of my struggle and I'm posting it for anyone who needs to hear those word. YOU DESERVE THE WORLD AND NOTHING LESS

Started this tonight. I‘ve already read books 2 and 3, so I can say with surety that you can read the trilogy out of order.

@sebrittainclark sent this to me as part of my #bestof2020 box and I just finished it. I loved it! I‘ve been out of the dating game for a really long time but the relationship between Rhi and Samson was fantastic. There was romance, yes, but there was a lot of other things going on. Business, trust issues, standing up for yourself, speaking out, etc. I‘ve read a couple of Rai‘s other books but this one is my favorite so far!

candority So glad you enjoyed it! The first success (that I‘ve heard of) from the #Bestof2020Swap! 💖 3y

Yay! Loved this contemporary romance. This is the first in a linked series — but I read them out of order with no problems.

Looking forward to seeing the author at the Decatur Book Festival romance panel on September 29th. If u want to tune in, here‘s the link:

I finished this last week but haven't had a chance to post. This was a cute book that involved an interesting work/fun dynamic between the 2 main characters. There were some major trust issues which seemed a little extreme, but otherwise I liked it.

I purchased this book on my last day at work before the pause. I finally got around to reading it today and it was great. The romance felt organic and fun. The heavier moment where well done. When I was half through I put the sequel on hold at library.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 I read this book in less than 24 hours & loved every minute. The characters were really well written, and I enjoyed reading another romance between people of color and where the two MCs were in their upper 30s instead of early 20s. Rai did a great job making the characters believable and mixing real-world issues into a feel good romance. I‘m excited to read more from her in the future!

I started reading more romance books in February and I‘ve read little else since. The Right Swipe kicked off my romance obsession this time around. I love the powerful female lead. So much feminism and sex positivity. I followed up with Girl Gone Viral and it was also a hit. Though Girl Gone Viral was so different from The Right Swipe. Loved these female leads and their sweet and steamy love interests!

“The Right Swipe” is a perfect blend of a strong female protagonist, character growth, and romance. Rhi never gives second chances but what happens when a one-night stand turns into your competitor‘s spokesperson, who you have to work with! If you can relate to being ghosted, check out this fun read!

My March reads. The pandemic lowered my reading since a lot is done on audiobook during work hours and it‘s just not as possible when working at home while parenting a child on my own. But all 3 books were wonderful! I can‘t pick a favorite. And all so different!!!

While social distancing I‘ve been trying to read books that are more uplifting, so I‘ve turned to romance. But The Right Swipe isn‘t just a romance—it also discusses heavier topics like the NFL taking care of its players through head injuries and believing women who come forward with their stories of sexual assault. I enjoyed this one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Absolutely loved this book!!! Diverse characters, talk of current events, a great escape from the world today, and my new favorite quality in a character: non-toxic masculinity.

I was really impressed with this book. This is the first book in Alisha Rai‘s new Modern Love series which is an appropriate name for it since it reflects exactly that. It tackles a lot of timely issues, like dating apps, the #MeToo movement, and CTE in the NFL.

I needed a fluffy romance this week, and while I really liked this, it also had more substance than I expected.

Rhiannon owns a matchmaking app and she‘s hoping to acquire the competition. Falling for the nephew of her competitor wasn‘t in the plan. Ex-football player Samson didn‘t plan for Rhi either. He‘s grieving the loss of his uncle and coming to terms with his family legacy. Sexy & sweet, this was a winner

Another disappointing read. This romance just didn‘t work for me. I ended up skimming about 3/4 of the book. I did appreciate the diverse cast, but that‘s about the best I can say for it. I just couldn‘t connect to the characters and frankly, didn‘t feel any heat or tension between Rhiannon and Samson. It‘s sad to read a romance and be bored.

Book 3/5 for #marchunshelving readathon

DGRachel Kudos to you for even finishing it! I bailed. 4y
TheAromaofBooks Love the way your dog is peeking around the corner! I feel like I've seen an uptick in contemporary romances that are more concerned about having a “diverse“ cast than they are about actually writing a story/romance that has good chemistry. It just seems like we should be able to get both?! 4y
wanderinglynn @DGRachel glad to know I‘m not the only one who didn‘t care for it. 4y
wanderinglynn @TheAromaofBooks yes, I agree a modern romance book should be able to do both. 4y

Being sick has one advantage at least. I was able to read this romance in between bouts of coughing. It‘s a sweet romance that deals with many contemporary issues in dating and in life.

[#BookReview] The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai was exactly what I needed! Not only is the romance itself incredibly well written, the characters are great, and the topics this book tackled are incredibly important and handled with care. If you‘re in the mood for a great feminist romance this is the one for you!
