Bobbi is a wedding planner, working on her best friend’s wedding. Benjamin is the chef, who is best friends with the groom. They don't get on at first, mainly due to a misunderstanding when they first met.
This is a romcom but I mainly found it frustrating rather than funny. There are lots of problems with the friends wedding - they work out quite early on that there might be a saboteur. And yet, even after an issue with the cake, venue and mandup, ***they don't phone all the other vendors to check the order are correct***. So of course there are more issues and by this point I'm inwardly shouting at the characters for being totally inept. Why haven't they told the friend what's going on?? Ugh it drove me to distraction!
There is a lot of food talk in this, it made me hungry! I also learned a lot about Indian weddings, which sound fabulous by the way.
The relationship felt slightly rushed to me, I would have liked more moments of sexual tension or hidden touches before their relationship became official. There was also long stretches of long distance where they didn't see each other, which sort of killed the way the relationship developed for me as well - realistic probably, but I didn't love it. The sex was more kinky than I was expecting for a romcom - some rope play and toys.
Audiobook narrators were good, 5 stars for the audio.

I didn't expect to enjoy this one as much as I did Dating Dr. Dil but goddamn Nisha Sharma DID NOT COME TO PLAY.

It only gets two stars cause it’s brown people; otherwise? Zero stars for the plot or characters
I've tried two books by Nisha Sharma and I really really wanted to like them. I'm really struggling with the telling not showing in the writing in both. It was interfering with my ability to get into the characters and the story

My favorite niche book plot is when the main character is a wedding planner and the love interest helps her out
A steamy, heart warming story about learning to accept love and help from others and prioritizing yourself.

This book was really good. I really liked the characters. There are some things I loved more about Karena and Prem but also things I loved more about Bobbi and Bunti. I think the parts I disliked the most was the issues the characters had near the end.
