Rhiannon is a kickass tech CEO who runs a dating app. Samson is a former pro football player and reluctant players’ health advocate. They have what they think is a one-night stand and then serendipity brings them together again…it’s The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai. (Swipe for Goodreads synopsis)

I enjoyed this book although I had trouble staying engaged with it at times. The two MCs both had a lot of trust and miscommunication issues, which in general, I find HIGHLY annoying in romance novels. Like Girl Gone Viral, though, Rai gave each of her characters really great backstories and supporting casts. I thoroughly enjoyed Samson’s involvement with CTE advocacy in professional football, and absolutely loved the way Rai built the backstory for Rhiannon and her old boss.

This book has some pretty great steam and I love the way Rai writes sex scenes. They’re always handled with a lot of care and they’re hot - but the conversations between the two parties are really good too - genuine and sweet.

In both books of hers I have read, the couples have been in their thirties and I really like that too.
