Critics Review

“A compelling storm of small town intrigue, family drama, and intense romance. I loved it!”
—Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author
“In The Lotus Inn, Nisha takes bold risks while staying true to her signature style: stories with steamy romance, rich cultural conflicts, and found family. Her genre debut triggers a new wave of small town romantic suspense that you don’t want to miss!”
—Ana Huang, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“The Lotus Inn is deliciously suspenseful and sexy as hell, with a fresh, razor-sharp take on the small town setting. Nisha Sharma’s writing always shines, but here it’s downright luminous, making it impossible to put this book down and showcasing exactly why she’s one of the best writers in the game.”
—Jessica Joyce, New York Times bestselling author

“The Lotus Inn pulled me in from the first sentences and still hasn’t let me go. Profoundly moving, deeply romantic, and deliciously twisty, Nisha Sharma has written one of my favorite books of the year and a must-read for romantic suspense fans.”
—Catherine Cowles, New York Times bestselling author
“Deeply emotional, delightful, and absolutely razor sharp, The Lotus Inn took my breath away. The story is constructed with care, and Nisha’s writing is both soft and deliberate. Aji and Rohan’s love story embodies my favorite kind of romance: tender, tension-filled, heartachingly vulnerable, and hopeful as hell. This book should be on every small-town romance reader’s shelf.”
—Lyla Sage, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Emotional, smart, and beautifully written, this may be Nisha Sharma’s best book yet.”
—Alisha Rai, award winning author

“You know how sometimes you’re reading a thriller as a woman and you think to yourself ‘I wish this story had intelligent, complex female characters, extremely yearning men, and way more sex?’ Well you’re in luck, The Lotus Inn is absolutely for you.”
—Ali Rosen, bestselling author
“The Lotus Inn is everything you know and love from a Nisha Sharma romance, but with a gothic thriller twist. A small town oozing menace, a hero who broods and pines in equal measure, and a main character trying to sift through the shards of a broken and scattered family—all of it builds into a heartstopping rush of danger and desire.
This book will cling to you like the mountain fog, and you’ll be thinking of Misty Pines long after you left.
(And Rohan. You’ll be thinking of Rohan.)”
—Sierra Simone, USA Today bestselling author
