Description:
Even the best-laid seductions can go awry.
Beneath Dr. Maira Khan’s reserved exterior, her heart beats triple-time for only one man: Sasha Karimi. For two years she’s waited patiently for the handsome police lieutenant to wake up and see her as more than a buddy. When he’s injured in the line of duty, though, she realizes time is too precious to waste. Ditching her scrubs—and her shyness—she cooks up her very first seduction.
Sasha’s had a hell of a week. Thanks to the national media, amorous women are pouring out of the woodwork, all wanting a piece of America’s newest “hero”. The biggest disappointment? Maira seems to have contracted the same case of mass hysteria. Betrayed, he pushes her away—but not before he samples a taste of her luscious mouth and body.
It works. Maira retreats, mortified and ashamed. And Sasha realizes he’s just driven away the perfect woman. Now all he needs is a foolproof plan to win her back, starting with a proper courtship—and restraining his lust. Except once Maira glimpses the man behind the uniform, she sets out to show him that pure need has its own ideas about what’s proper…
Warning: Contains a brilliant heroine who knows how to take matters into her own hands, a sexy hero who knows how to win his woman, an awesome full-body massage, a tender romance and sizzling bedroom (and kitchen) shenanigans.

Originally published back in 2010 under the name Veiled Seduction Alisha Rai’s Waiting for Her is
the second book in her Karimi’s sibling’s series. A police officer set in his ways meets his match when a young doctor who’s been his friend for years decides to go for it following an event that caused her to examine and act on her feelings. I loved this sweet yet sexy story of two people finally figuring out the person they want has been in front of them for a long time.
Dr. Maira Khan is young, graduating high school in 2 years, sailing through college and medical school; Maira’s social skills aren’t quite what you’d expect from a 25 year old woman. My heart hurt for Maira as she tried her best to make her friend Sasha Karimi see her as a woman and not just as a buddy especially when he took it the wrong way. I give Sasha a lot of credit for owning up to his stupidity and working to make it right even if he ends up driving Maira a wee bit crazy as their relationship builds.
These two were fun to watch, some of their inner turmoil was quite hilarious to read and I appreciated the fact that Sasha wanted to do the relationship right by Maira, but she had other ideas which just made it all the more special. While these two took some time to get to the sexy times, once they did they made up for all the lost time.
Entertaining and sweet but with a definite sexy side, Waiting For Her was a joy to re-read.
