Kind of bored with the pace feeling too slow. Bit too much like an anthology of erotica, which I should have expected.

I really enjoyed this book. It was such an interesting exploration of culture and religion and multi-generational families navigating those challenges. From my vantage point, it tackled culture and varying levels of conservatism within Sikhism remarkably well, allowing the women to be people - not caricatures of their culture. And listening to the audiobook was lovely.

What a way to start the new year! I listened to this on audio and it was SO good. I know it says erotic in the title but for some reason I didn’t think it would be so spicy! 

It was an absolute joy to listen to because there was romance, spice, and mystery! All the best things in one perfect book! I loved following the stories of all of the widows and Nikki and her family. 

This book was truly a delight and I think everyone should read it!
