I loved the sense of family in this romance. All the Patels rallied behind Layla and then Sam. I loved Layla's father and his endless support. The emotional intensity of grieving her lost brother -- plus the strife that comes from wanting to follow his wishes for the restaurant. I loved that the dead brother was a character, but never got in between Layla and her happiness. She grieved him, but she was able to continue living.
Then Sam's story with his sister, and his never-ending goal of revenge - which ultimately got in the way of his own happiness. How he was able to shift his self-blame, reunite with his family, and forgive himself and his parents. Blah blah blah!
I loved Layla and Sam together, too! They were very sweet. The narrator was lovely. Overall, this romance was very lovely!
