"This novel has all the funny banter and sexy feels you could want in a romantic comedy."-NPR 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.

I just didn't like the love interest in this one, and found it hard to root for them to fall in love. Layla was pretty awesome, and I wanted her to find someone equally awesome! I liked some of the disastrous dates she found herself on, and how she responded, but their banter at them was annoying to me and not cute like I would've expected. There was some serious toxic masculinity from most of the men in the book, which maybe is a cultural thing I just couldn't enjoy, but her Dad seemed lovely, if slightly traditional, and Layla herself seemed so willing to carve her own path and buck the traditional in some senses that I was shocked she was willing to put up with it from Sam. There was one bit that struck me as transphobic, when a suitor starts guessing how Sam is related to Layla (and why he would be chaperoning her) and runs out of ideas and says sister? He responds in an outraged fashion, the man says he could've gone through "a change" (in which case you wouldn't say sister, would you?) and Sam replies how he is "all man", and then goes on to "prove" he's secure in his masculinity because he "wore a yellow shirt one time" That and his behavior "protecting his sister" and how he treated Layla around his sister just completely turned me off from him and ruined the chances of me really rooting for him. I did love Layla at the baseball game, because she's still fantastic and funny.
