Review:

I’m not sure what I rated it the first time, but I think my rating has stayed pretty much the same. I really like the book, and I am pretty much reading it because I read the first one yesterday. The character's relationship is adorable, and the chemistry is great! Weirdly, the author kept saying sensual, which seems to be her favorite word. In both books, this word was used repeatedly. I really liked the wring style, even though she repeated certain words. The setting was cute, and like the other book, the family was set up really well. I can not get over how much daisy changed between the two books. I literally did not realize they were the same person until I realized that Layla was in both books. The thing with the sister was fascinating, and it was fun to see her mini love story within the bigger one. The cover is amazing on both books, although I like the second one a little better than the first. Both are excellent books, and I wonder if another one will come out soon.

Synopsis From Book:

A high stakes wager pits an aspiring entrepreneur against a ruthless CEO in this sexy romantic comedy. After her life falls apart, recruitment consultant Layla Patel returns home to her family in San Francisco. But in the eyes of her father, who runs a Michelin starred restaurant, she can do no wrong. He would do anything to see her smile again. With the best intentions in mind, he offers her the office upstairs to start her new business and creates a profile on an online dating site to find her a man. She doesn’t know he’s arranged a series of blind dates until the first one comes knocking on her door… As CEO of a corporate downsizing company Sam Mehta is more used to conflict than calm. In search of a quiet new office, he finds the perfect space above a cozy Indian restaurant that smells like home. But when communication goes awry, he's forced to share his space with the owner's beautiful yet infuriating daughter Layla, her crazy family, and a parade of hopeful suitors, all of whom threaten to disrupt his carefully ordered life. As they face off in close quarters, the sarcasm and sparks fly. But when the battle for the office becomes a battle of the heart, Sam and Layla have to decide if this is love or just a game.
