Welcome to my stop on the blog tour celebrating the release of The Marriage Game by Sara Desai! Thank you to Berkley Publishing for the invitation!
About the Book:
A high stakes wager pits an aspiring entrepreneur against a ruthless CEO in this sexy romantic comedy.
After her life falls apart, recruitment consultant Layla Patel returns home to her family in San Francisco. But in the eyes of her father, who runs a Michelin starred restaurant, she can do no wrong. He would do anything to see her smile again. With the best intentions in mind, he offers her the office upstairs to start her new business and creates a profile on an online dating site to find her a man. She doesn’t know he’s arranged a series of blind dates until the first one comes knocking on her door…
As CEO of a corporate downsizing company Sam Mehta is more used to conflict than calm. In search of a quiet new office, he finds the perfect space above a cozy Indian restaurant that smells like home. But when communication goes awry, he’s forced to share his space with the owner’s beautiful yet infuriating daughter Layla, her crazy family, and a parade of hopeful suitors, all of whom threaten to disrupt his carefully ordered life.
As they face off in close quarters, the sarcasm and sparks fly. But when the battle for the office becomes a battle of the heart, Sam and Layla have to decide if this is love or just a game.
My Thoughts:
Layla Patel is going home to her family in San Francisco. Life is just not going well. Layla’s father thinks she walks on water and wants her to find happiness again, so he gives her his upstairs office to set up Her new business.
And he creates an online dating profile to find a man for Layla. You read that right! Oh, and he arranges the dates for her, and one comes knocking!
Sam is also using the upstairs office. He was already there, but Layla is smooshed in too. All the while, he watches as the online dates come knocking.
If you love witty banter, it’s here! Banter and sparks and fun, even a little zany! I hope you’ll check this one out if you need your day brightened. I had the best time with Sam and Layla!
I received a gifted copy. All opinions are my own.

For some zany reason, I can’t seem to get into romance books right now. However, this one sounds cute and a bit of sunshine for the many rainy days (figuratively) that we are having now.
