Bollywood Confidential, Book 1
Heat Factor: Based on the blurb, I was honestly expecting more sex (or kinkier sex?) than there was. There is definitely sex, but no group activities.
Character Chemistry: Lots of sexual attraction
Plot: More like three short stories than one cohesive novella
Overall: In an author’s note to the current edition, Snyder refers to this book as “banana-pants” and she is not wrong.
