Blurb: Amisha Patel has a grim history when it comes to suitors she met through her matrimony agent, mainly because of the mystery of her family background. But it wasn't the case when she met Naveen Desai, an attorney. He was everything she needed in her not-so-cheerful life. But Amisha had it bad whenever it comes to being attached to someone to the point where you can't just stop thinking about them, the heart-to-soul connection becomes real. Before she becomes too attached she detracts from that path, fearing that it would lead to her heart being shattered into pieces and partly because of her dysfunctional family.
Naveen was a perfect-in-paper guy, the sunshine-hero-who-gives-the-boy-next-door vibes, but is that the case, or is it some kind of falsity?
When Avira thought life is finally going back on track, she received the news that her aunt has died. She received a call from her attorney about her inheritance and as we say what a small world it is, the attorney turned out to be Naveen, the guy she had dumped, the only guy who was able to crack the walls of her heart.
What will happen when Mira's past demons start to make a re-entry in their life like a boomerang? Suddenly a mountain of trouble falls upon them which includes the unexpected trip to Las Vegas, fighting with a bunch of kidnappers, and a secret hidden which will make them question whatever they have known their entire life.
Reviews: When I first picked up this book, I thought it would be a regular second-chance rom-com. But boy how wrong I was. Each chapter was nail bitting and you can't sit quietly until you can't find the whole truth. Not wanting to give any more spoilers, I rest my review here *bows down*. Read this book if you are a fan of romantic adventure and I am sure you will LOVE IT <3.

Dual narration - Soneela Nankani & Shahjehan Khan
** new to me narrators and they were fabulous.
This is a great listen. It is funny, suspenseful, sweet, spicy, and entertaining all the way around. The twists and turns of the story you don’t see coming keep you guessing. It takes place around Vegas but not in the typical way Vegas appears in books
It gave me hangover movie vibes mixed with a romantic comedy. These characters go through a lot in a span of only a couple days. If this had been duet or multicast is the only way it could have been better as an audiobook.
The writing style is easy to follow and definitely a good time listening/reading. Great character development and plotting. I highly recommend this romantic suspense book.

Yet again resorting to the official plot summary, because I finished this in mid-April and I just cannot remember all the of details of the plot anymore:
At thirty-five, with a stable job as an accountant, Mira Chaudhary wants nothing more than to find a boring man to spend the rest of her life with. Having had enough excitement in her younger days and desperately trying to escape her dysfunctional past, she turns to a matching app specializing in Indian American singles to help her find someone to settle down with.
Enter Naveen Desai. An English professor with an uneventful, normal, and—dare she say it, boring—life, Naveen is perfect.
But just when things are going well, Mira receives news that her aunt has died. Suddenly, a trip to Las Vegas to settle her aunt’s affairs turns into a mad dash to escape kidnappers, evade art thieves, and consorting with hackers who can decipher just what it was Mira’s aunt was involved with. Mira just hopes that Naveen isn’t chased away by the very same life of “excitement” that she’s been trying to get away from. But maybe, over the course of one wild night, Mira and Naveen will find the love connection that neither expected.
Mira is trying to be traditional and respectable, to distance herself from her family's less than savoury past. Naveen is trying to help his grandfather keep his lawyer's practice. The two of them have a past, and Mira broke up with Naveen via text message. Not exactly classy. He's right to be pissed off at her.
However, when they end up drugged and abducted together to Las Vegas, they try to figure out what the bad guys want from Mira's dad and aunt's pasts, before bad things happen to them (or people they care about, like Naveen's grandfather). They are forced to work together to stay ahead of their pursuers, and over the course of a whirlwind adventure in Vegas, they also get a chance to reconnect, reevaluate their past relationship and see each other honestly as the people they really are now.
Unfortunately, I don't remember a lot of details particularly clearly, but at the same time, I also don't remember anything that annoyed me while reading it, either. It was a fun read, and I finished it in less than 48 hours.
Judging a book by its cover: Standard grumble about cartoon cover trend - but I do appreciate that both the characters on the cover look approximately as described in the story, and the scene in question, complete with fancy car and evening wear, does actually take place in the story.

It was really cute. I loved the audiobook version, and Alisha Rai can always write a stupid hot sex scene. I loved the banter and flawed characters.
The characters were great and the caper was a good one but really the open door scenes seemed superfluous. I was hoping this might be the first in a series for these two but it wrapped up in a way that doesn’t make me think it will be.

I realized that I am Lise… Lise, Lise.
I understood that all my fears and distrust come from the terror of aging and of not being loved.
I decided to give the book to Peyman, so that he might read it and understand me better.
