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.
