Tastes Like Shakkar
by Nisha Sharma
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.
