Accidentally Engaged

by Farah Heron

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

This book captured me from page one!

I fell for Reena and Nadim from their first meet-cute and only fell deeper as this adorable cute pair fight against their attraction as they find themselves pretending to be engaged!

Reena refuses to accept the almost too perfect Nadim and because her parents have arranged this union- she will not give them the satisfaction… even if he is extremely attractive, attentive and into food and bread as much as she is! Just because she refuses to marry him, that doesn’t mean they can’t be friends, and fake-engaged tamales for a food competition… As they film their contest entries, the chemistry is a delicious as the food they make and soon they decide that they can be a not -getting-married couple and let their attraction come to fruition! Like any good meal left out too long, this relationship starts to spoil when secrets from their and their families pasts finally come to the service. Can they salvage this relationship enough to finish the completion? Or will they have to give up and start from scratch without each other?

This book had so many captivating elements, the family dynamics between Reena, her sister and her parents, the friendships that are close at hand and ones separated by a distance, the attraction between Reena and Nadim and lastly the effusive inclusion of baking bread and cooking. I loved how seamlessly author Farah Heron has put together a story that really showed her character Indian culture permeates all facets of her life and decisions.

This was fun and delicious read that made me hungry for more! This book has it all and I can not recommend it more highly!

Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron is scheduled to release March 3rd, 2021.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Forever Grand Central Publishing. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love! Childhood neighbours, Devlin Ware and Gwyneth Rhys never know the other felt the same attraction and pull towards the other until the stars aligned at the neighbourhood fete and they finally discover their mutual affection… but they were not mean to be young lovers, since family scandal befalls Devin and he is banished from his family home.

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance! Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed. De...

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
