Everything about Bootie and the Beast by Falguni Kothari sounded like such fun that I had to sign up for the tour.
Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think.
SYNOPSIS
Fairytales don’t end with True Love’s Kiss, they begin with one…
Diya Mathur (aka Beauty), celebrated supermodel and Party Princess of India, is adored by everyone. She works hard, plays hard, and has the biggest shoe fetish on the planet. But after she purchases one baby bootie, Diya’s reputation is in ruins. There’s only one place to escape the rumours – Texas, under the protection of her lifelong friend, and secret love, Krish Menon (aka the Beast).
Financial whizz-kid, CFO and entrepreneur, Krish is a brooding workaholic with a charisma that still brings Beauty Mathur to her knees. He has no idea, of course! They’ve shared a bond since childhood – a special friendship that thrives on sparring, teasing and goading – but with Diya back in his life and under his roof, Krish’s latent desire for her explodes. And when he finally admits to the secret that has never allowed him to commit to any woman – especially Diya – everything changes. Krish might finally realise how much he wants his Beauty. But he won’t get her until Diya has tamed her Beast.
Top 10 things Krish Menon stresses over
1) Diya Beauty Mathur.
2) His love-hate relationship with his parents.
3) His need to be in control…especially with his emotions and drinking.
4) His love for Diya that he’ll never admit to out loud for her sake. She deserves better than him and his problems. He was glad when she broke of their engagement.
5) He’s going to help her find the perfect husband. And then she can be that man’s problem forever.
6) He’s very good at crunching numbers and making profits but he’s sick of it all. There has to be more to life than making pots of money. He needs to find out what that “more” is.
7) He doesn’t get fashion at all. Not that he’s a bad dresser…just there should be more to life than fashion. And he’s not a fuddy-duddy, no matter what Dee-Dumbs says.
8) He’s simply going through an existential crisis.
9) Which brings him back to point #4: He shouldn’t get involved with Diya—no matter the temptation. Not when he’s stressing over so many personal issues.
10) And for some reason if he does end up marrying Diya—and that’s a big IF—then it will be on his terms and his terms only.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Falguni Kothari is a non-traditional homemaker who accidently tripped on a misplaced soccer ball and fell down the writer’s rabbit hole. Having no more experience with the whole writing/publishing shebang than being a voracious reader and movie buff, it more than surprised her that she could, in fact, write a full-length novel.
Now, several manuscripts down, when she is not trying to find a way out of her many domestic duties or cajoling her Latin dance coach to compose a rumba on Bollywood music, she is found embroiled in some or other scandal—sorry, creating stories—on her ever-faithful laptop.
She’s authored Bootie and the Beast, It’s Your Move, Wordfreak! and Scrabbulous Impressions, a short story. She rumbas across a whole smorgasbord of Social Media daily and loves to connect with most living things.
