4.5
What can I say about this novel? I adored it! It was a crazy, poignant, funny, sexy, fantastic look into a South Asian (Indian) family and its dating and marriage ideas. This book tells the tale of Layla Patel and her downward spiral in life: she needs to come home again, let her father find her a husband, and find herself. Layla has a beautiful family and friends, and various happenings in this book prove it.
Sam Mehta needs revenge, and he will do it in any way possible. He also just happens to rent the same space for an office that Laylas' father has given her. He happens to be a very sexy, age-appropriate Indian in a committed relationship. Sort of. He can't seem to keep his mind off of Layla, though, and Layla can't keep her mind off of him.
Hilarity ensues as well as a myriad of misunderstandings, and apologies abound.
This book was quite sexy but not too far into ultra-gross descriptions you may not want to know anything of, and those sections are easily skipped -although you may lose a little of the flavor, humor, and tempo if you do.
I will be recommending this book highly.

SYNOPSIS: A high stakes wager pits an aspiring entrepreneur against a ruthless CEO in this sexy romantic comedy.
After her life falls apart, recruitment consultant Layla Patel returns home to her family in San Francisco. But in the eyes of her father, who runs a Michelin starred restaurant, she can do no wrong. He would do anything to see her smile again. With the best intentions in mind, he offers her the office upstairs to start her new business and creates a profile on an online dating site to find her a man. She doesn’t know he’s arranged a series of blind dates until the first one comes knocking on her door…
As CEO of a corporate downsizing company Sam Mehta is more used to conflict than calm. In search of a quiet new office, he finds the perfect space above a cozy Indian restaurant that smells like home. But when communication goes awry, he's forced to share his space with the owner's beautiful yet infuriating daughter Layla, her crazy family, and a parade of hopeful suitors, all of whom threaten to disrupt his carefully ordered life.
As they face off in close quarters, the sarcasm and sparks fly. But when the battle for the office becomes a battle of the heart, Sam and Layla have to decide if this is love or just a game.
