Synopsis

From the nationally bestselling author of Sari, Not Sari comes a delightful enemies-to-friends-to-lovers romance about how love is sometimes only a click away.

While her brothers are finding their soulmates and planning the rest of their lives, Manisha Patel is moving back in with her parents, dodging calls from her cheating Aquarius ex-boyfriend, and avoiding questions about her love life. Worse, she's being forced to help out her father's friend's son, and Manisha would rather be doing anything else. Rohit Khanna may be incredibly hot and have great style, but he's also arrogant, rude, and (allegedly) a cheater, and Manisha wants nothing to do with him.

But these things turn out to be the least of Manisha's worries when she gets the heartbreaking news that her dream of one day having a family might slip through her fingers. Then, a stroke of genius: What if there was a fake matchmaking service where Manisha was the only client? One single profile, countless eligible bachelors for Manisha to choose from. It's the perfect plan to find a husband and live happily ever after. . . . Isn't it?

Goodreads review by Laurie • The Baking Bookworm on March 10, 2026

This romance had a cute matchmaker premise and delivered on the enemies to lovers’ trope (oh boy, did it ever), but I struggled to get into this romance. Part of my feelings about this book stem from not being sure what it was trying to do. There's definitely room for Manisha's personal growth. I di......more
