Publisher Description
Strong-willed and proudly single, an engineer walks out when her parents set her up with a lawyer -- but when work brings them together again, she just might give love a second chance.
Liya Thakkar is a successful biochemical engineer, takeout enthusiast, and happily single woman. The moment she realizes her parents' latest dinner party is a setup with the man they want her to marry, she's out the back door in a flash. Imagine her surprise when the same guy shows up at her office a week later -- the new lawyer hired to rescue her struggling company. What's not surprising: he's not too thrilled to see her either after that humiliating fiasco.
Jay Shah looks good on paper . . . and off. Especially if you like that whole gorgeous, charming lawyer-in-a-good-suit thing. He's also infuriating. As their witty office banter turns into late night chats, Liya starts to think he might be the one man who truly accepts her. But falling for each other means exposing their painful pasts. Will Liya keep running, or will she finally give love a real chance? Find out in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy debut about first impressions, second chances, and finding the love of your life in the most unexpected way.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This sultry romance from Sajni Patel proves that when it comes to true love, getting there is half the fun. Liya Thakkar is a successful researcher on pace for a brilliant career. She doesn’t have time for smug lawyer Jay Shah, the guy her parents want to set her up with (even if he does fill out a designer suit quite nicely). But when their paths keep crossing, she starts to wonder if there’s more to Jay than his attitude. Patel is a master at building steamy tension, and the clever double entendres she uses to describe Liya and Jay’s chemistry continually made us blush. We loved how these relatable characters navigate a world where tradition meets (and occasionally butts heads with) modern life. Soneela Nankani’s narration perfectly captures both of the leads’ deep range of emotion as their feelings threaten to overwhelm them or possibly blow up in their faces. We enjoyed trying to figure out if this pair is flirting with disaster or something even more dangerous: love.
