The Right Swipe/ Alisha Rai/ 386 pgs

This is the start of a new series for Rai, though I discovered it's tangentially related to her first series. It can be read as a standalone. Rhiannon Hunter is the creator of a successful dating app who is looking to buy a more traditional online dating company. Rhi has trust issues because she used to work for a different dating app company and became involved with the CEO of that company. When things went sour in their relationship, the CEO spread nasty rumors about Rhi and she was forced to leave the company. Samson Lima is a former pro football player who left the game abruptly due to the NFL's injury and concussion policies (fiction predicting the future with Andrew Luck's retirement?). Samson is the new spokesman for the company Rhi wants to buy and just happens to be related to the owner. You can see where this is going and it's a great ride. Samson is one of those gentle giants, very sweet, very loyal, very patient. Rhi is tough on the outside (because she has to be) and super smart. A wonderful romance and a great start to a new series!
