About this deal

What happens when jealousy, fate and the aunties who have a match quota to fulfill have a say in things? I will be cautious about a person who doesn’t want me to meet his/her friends or family within a few months of dating. When we have a Tortured Hero who’s also The Older Brother’s Best Friend, we’re in for a good time. Marriage of convenience isn’t a trope I really gravitate towards, but the enemies to lovers and fake dating in this drew me in. I also read this the weekend after January 6th and it was a perfect and necessary escape from *gestures wildly.*

She was so preoccupied with reliving her most poignant memories that it took her a moment to realize she was no longer airborne. Strong, warm hands encircled her waist, holding her safe. I liked the cultural representation. They way author showed family bonding and love among the family. But this is only thing I liked in the book. A high stakes wager pits an aspiring entrepreneur against a ruthless CEO in this sexy romantic comedy. These characters are adorable, they have great chemistry, they have very well-fleshed out families and pasts, and I loved how much fun the fake fiancé thing was. I love that Daisy is really good at math and numbers and she’s obsessed with the Avengers. Her character is so adorable and quirky. Liam irked me a lot in the beginning but after I learned more about him I grew to love his character too. He thinks she’s wild, unruly,loud, totally out of control. But he also realizes she’s full of joy, bringing happiness to all the people around her, energetic, eccentric, one of a kind…a sweet + sexy adult romance with a classic fake dating trope that leads to adorable and emotional moments; cliché at places but that doesn't mean one can't enjoy — also, love the desi food references. rtc. I have to warn you there are so many under belly and naughty jokes, especially Daisy has a real dirty mouth! And our heroine Layla has Fifty Shades of Brown slash Fatal Attraction fantasies take place in the elevator. So you gotta prepare yourself before starting this book. Even with a step-by-step plan, these fake fiancés might accidentally fall for each other in this hilarious, heartfelt romantic comedy from the author of The Marriage Game. This book falls into so many clichés. I cannot be convinced this author didn't choose them all by throwing darts at different tropes. "She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding," came through at like 20% in and I was like, oh here we go.

Daisy pushed another quarter into the slot and yanked on the dial. If Tyler had asked her to pitch with him when he first signed up for the conference, she wouldn't have been in the restroom at all. Daisy didn't go into meetings unprepared. Instead of sweating it out as she tried to dispense a pad in silence, she would have been seated in the air-conditioned conference room, sipping homemade chai from her thermos as she mentally rehearsed a demonstration she would have practiced for weeks. I’m very happy to say that I absolutely loved The Marriage Game and I definitely can’t wait to read more of Sara Desai’s novels in the future.You would think with the amount of grump/sunshine romances I read that I would get tired of them. I am here to report that will never happen. This book is definitely going into my favorite reads of all time. The representation, the romance, the characters, I loved everything about this book. I enjoyed my reading time so much as I did with the other books. Looking forward to next work of Ms. Desai! This book is a pleasant surprise! I didn’t expect to love it so much but it’s definitely an addition to my fave romance books.

I am not stereotyping Indian guys BUT at least the ones I know are NOTHING like the lurrrrve interest!! What stopped me from giving this a full 5-star rating is because I didn’t like how shit went down nearing the end. Sam obviously had too much guilt to work through to the point that it served as motivation to do unjust things. I didn’t like how he handled some stuff and I feel hurt on Layla’s behalf. The good thing is that he did his best to fix things, not just with Layla but also with her family and his best friend, John Lee. I found Liam and Daisy’s story more emotional, genuine, intense. They really deal with burdens, dysfunctional family issues, abuse, insecurities. Both of them learn their mistakes and changed themselves. Only thing didn’t change is the pure love they feel for each other which makes this book one of my favorite readings! Sam specifically has some issues to work through related to an incident of domestic violence and I wasn't bothered by his need to rectify the issues; however, it was frustrating when he was constantly being told to listen instead of talk. And for some odd reason he didn't even do that at the end of the book. It was almost as though he couldn't leave well enough alone and that frustrated me. I get that extinct that people have to protect the ones that they love; however, I don't think how they feel should overshadow the victim. It just didn't sit right with me. And then there was some violence that occurred between a suitor and someone else that was present for that moment in the book and it was almost as if it was glazed over. I wasn't sure what the author was attempting to capture in that moment. But it seemed kind of awkward considering that domestic violence is discussed in this book. Layla made him feel things he wasn’t ready to feel. She made him think about things he’d buried years ago. She was redemption made real.”

He acted like the old Liam, the one who’d made her feel like her quirks and lists and plans were perfectly normal, the one who’d made her laugh and kept her safe and filled the hole in her chest that her mother had left when she moved to New York, leaving her young family behind.” Daisy Patel is a software engineer who understands lists and logic better than bosses and boyfriends. With her life all planned out, and no interest in love, the one thing she can’t give her family is the marriage they expect. Left with few options, she asks her childhood crush to be her decoy fiancé. And while this is a rom-com, I liked that there were some deeper elements to the story. For example, Jay's fear of abandonment and PTSD, and Zara's inability to form healthy attachments due to the trauma of her parent's divorce. These things allowed me, as a reader, to connect with Zara and Jay on a much deeper level. And it was nice to see them willing to work through these traumas in an effort to open their hearts to love. Curiously numb at the sight of her ex wrapped around her old boss like the most tenacious of invasive species—she’d caught a glimpse of them in the mirror before they’d closed the stall door—Daisy slid a quarter into the disposable menstrual product dispenser. I really liked the romance aspect — even when Daisy was younger, Liam helped a lot in making her feel more comfortable in her own skin. Even as adults, he still was able to make her feel that way.
