In the hilarious follow-up to the breakout rom-com Dating Dr. Dil, Nisha Sharma adds shakkar and mirch to Shakespeare’s iconic comedy Much Ado About Nothing for one sweet and spicy love story.Bobbi Kaur is determined to plan a celebration to remember for her best friend’s wedding. But she has two problems that are getting in her way:1. The egotistical, and irritatingly sexy, chef Benjamin “Bunty” Padda is supposed to help her with the menu since he’s the groom’s best friend, and2. Someone is trying to sabotage the wedding.With aspirations of taking over her family’s event planning business, Bobbi knows that one misstep in managing the Kareena Mann and Prem Verma (#Vermann) party, along with the other weddings on her plate, will only give her uncle another reason not to promote her. That means Kareena’s big day and Bobbi's future career are on the line.Bunty will do anything for his best friend, even though he has his hands full in finding a new location for his next restaurant while also playing mediator between his brother and father, the celebrated Naan King. When Prem asks Bunty to help with the wedding menu, he agrees, especially since it puts him in close proximity to the delicious Bobbi Kaur. When a mystery shaadi saboteur starts leaving threatening notes, and cancelling cake orders, Bunty and Bobbi have no choice but to call a truce and face the volatile attraction they have for each other.Through masquerade fundraisers and a joint bachelor-bachelorette trip to Vegas, this chef and wedding planner explore their growing connection all while trying to plan a wedding at Messina Vineyards in a time crunch. But once the shaadi saboteur is caught and the wedding is over, will their love story have a happily ever after?With the return of the meddling aunties (who are scary good at finding information) and a lot of hilarity and hijinks, Bobbi and Bunty’s romance is an event you don’t want to miss.

"Really great and modern story. You don’t have to be Indian to understand the story- but if you are, you see your family members in the entire story ! "

"This is one of my favorite rom-com reads this year. It had everything I needed in a rom-com. Bobbi(f) and Benjamin(m), our main characters, have been enemies since their first meeting when Benjamin causes Bobbie to lose a potential client. Now they're working on planning their best friend's weddings, so they call a truce to plan an amazing wedding. As they work, they get closer and realize that someone is sabotaging their friend's wedding. They enlist the help of their Indian aunties to assist with finding this person and try to plan a wedding without everything falling apart. <br/><br/>I really liked both Bobbi and Benjamin, their banter and chemistry was immaculate. I love good enemies to lovers. The romance came together so well, and there were some really kinky scenes here. I think their personal struggles were valid, and I like how the author wove it into the story. I liked the friend group and the found family aspect of it. I think I may be obsessed with Indian weddings because they seem like so much fun, from the food to the planning and the role of the aunties, it was great. The plot aspect, where they were trying to find out who was sabotaging the wedding, was a nice addition to the story and helped move the story along. <br/><br/>Overall I think this book is fantastic, this is my first book by this author, so I will be checking out her other books. This book has: <br/>-Indian wedding planning <br/>-Punjabi main characters <br/>-Plus size fmc<br/>-Enemies to lovers<br/>-Good banter <br/>-Close-knit friend group<br/>-Swiftie fmc <br/><br/>Thank you, Avon and Harper Voyager, for this arc for an honest review."
