review 1: Having read the author's Full Moon Bride I wanted to read some of her other work. In this book, Meena is a 31 year-old marketing and PR manager getting to the age where her family is worried about her finding a good match. An embarrassing collision into her new boss and fall result in a twisted ankle for Meena and a week spent driving back and forth to work with Prajay, her boss and owner of the software company she works for. Tiny Meena is fairly instantly attracted to super-tall Prajay but he has it in his head at 39, he needs to find a wife and needs to be at least six feet. Hiring Meena privately as a consultant to write some personal ads and then to sort through them to find a good match, she becomes his "reluctant matchmaker"--fighting off her own feeling for Parjay.... more It's a light, predictable chick-lit read--no major surprises but the main characters and the supporting ones, especially Meena's unconventional great-aunt Akka are likeable and appealing.
review 2: Kicked myself soundly for finishing this book. Couldn't really find anything to relate to with the main character who came across as mindless, immature and overwhelmingly shallow. Much like a Harlequin romance with a nicer cover. It was quite surprising to find a bookclub list of questions in the back...really? I'm rarely so negative about a book, but the best part of finishing this was being able to start a new book! less
