About the Book

Two sisters. One fake marriage. Zero chance of keeping the truth hidden.

The Naik sisters escaped their traumatic past in Mumbai to come to the States, but their journeys have been vastly different. Simi is working toward a bright future as a pediatric nurse in a small town in Kentucky when Rupi shows up at her door in distress, on the run, and as always, dragging trouble in her wake.

With Rupi’s safety in jeopardy, the sisters hatch a desperate plan to keep her in the Rupi must get married—and fast—even if it means Simi recruiting the man she’s been secretly dating as her sister’s groom. A perfect plan? Not quite. But there aren’t many alternatives.

As the big day inches closer, Simi and Rupi face a storm of wedding shenanigans and romantic surprises, not to mention sisterly jealousies. As the stakes and tensions rise, will their secrets tear them apart or will they find a way to risk everything for love?

My Review

I love Dev’s writing. This is my second book by this author, and yes, this is a romance book but really it’s just much more than that.

The relationship between the sisters is a huge focus of this book. What one has given up for the other and what the other is now giving up. Both of these sisters are so selfless in more ways than one. While their relationship wasn’t always great, and when Rupi arrived back in Simi’s life, it wasn’t the greatest start, they worked their way back to being sisters. It was so beautiful to read.

The sister’s aren’t the only ones that are selfless. Prem and his family are just as selfless. Everyone is so welcoming of Rupi and Simi. The found family in this book is one of my favorite aspects. I love a great found family. I’d love to be apart of the Gupta family!

I really loved how this book ended too. It was absolutely perfect. I do want to know more about their future. I’d love to get a novella for a “where are they now” type thing. So if you love heartwarming family books with romance, you need to check out this book!
