Reena Manji is sick and tired of her parents attempting to control every aspect of her life, particularly her love life. So when her hot new neighbor turns out to be the next man they're trying to get her to marry, Reena fights the natural attraction that she feels for him. But, darn it, he turns out to be a perfect guy for her, especially when he agrees to be her pretend fiance for a reality TV cooking contest. Will she be able to let go of her hangups with her family in order to let this new romance happen?
Reena is a relatable, flawed character, perfect for leading this story. And Nadim, her "fiance," seems like a total dreamboat. But it feels like a lot of their relationship is based on either miscommunication or their outright decision not to discuss the past (cuz that's ALWAYS a recipe for success, right?), and I find that a particularly annoying romance trope. The food, however, is totally droolworthy, and I LOVE that Heron includes a couple recipes at the back. Mmm...
