There are no words that can express how much I enjoyed this book and how much I loved the the two main characters Prem and Kareena. Their chemistry was unmatched and FINALLY, a book that lives up to the expectation of it being spicy. It was so good and wholesome. I loved learning about the cultural aspects. Couldn’t recommend this book more if I tried.

I loved so many things in this book; the banter, the aunties, the supporting friends, that scavenger date in the museum, the Taylor Swift references. I totally recommend listening to the audiobook. The voice actors do such a good job. But OH MY, how frustrating it was to read about Prem not believing in love. COME ON! That just took too forever. And Charlie just freaked me out.

I really don't know what to say or how to justify my hate of this book.

Q: What would you do if the man who claims love doesn’t exist fell in love with you?

Kareena dreams of having a perfect love story like her parents did. That’s why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she’s decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. When her widowed father announces he’s retiring and selling their home after her sister’s engagement party, Kareena makes a deal with him. If she can find her soulmate by the date of the party, he’ll gift her the house, and she’ll be able to keep her mother’s legacy alive. Prem doesn’t have time for romance, which is why it’s no surprise when his first meeting with Kareena goes awry. Their second encounter is worse when their on-air debate about love goes viral. Now Prem’s largest community center donor is backing out because Prem's reputation as a heart-health expert is at risk. To get back in his donor’s good graces, he needs to fix his image fast, and dating Kareena is his only option.
Even though they have warring interests, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he thinks she’s might actually be the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. In this Taming of the Shrew re-imagination, for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.

I’m literally on a roll this year with all the books that I’ve rated 5 stars! This was no exception! For me personally it was a bit of a rocky start, I struggled to get into it however after that it was pretty much smooth sailing! I loved the relationship develop between Kareena and Prem - especially their friendship which I think was so beautifully written! The aunties were hilarious and were honestly one of my favourite parts of the book! I would highly highly recommend this book and I cannot wait to read more in this world!!
