Publisher's Summary

A perfect disaster - or a perfect match? Find out in this heartfelt rom-com novella....

"Just three dates. That's all I'm asking. One boy shares your sense of humor. Another has similar interests and ideals. The third boy has a helpful heart like yours."

When Aditi Gupta comes home late from work as a pediatric resident one night and her grandfather offers this pitch, she reluctantly agrees. She's far too busy with med school to be dating, and besides, she dreams of a love for the ages, like her parents, not an arranged marriage. And yet she finds herself agreeing to three dates because she loves her grandfather. All she has to do is make herself utterly ineligible and problem solved! 

And sure enough her first date with the disgustingly handsome and intriguing Krishna Lal goes exactly as planned: not well! But then the second date comes around and Aditi finds that there is more at stake than just three bad dates. Suddenly, her heart is on the line, and maybe her grandfather's, too.

This is us!

Not only is this story written by my wife, it’s more or less a story of us. We were tricked into meeting too, and neither of us had expected us to be engaged in just two dates.

Great love story But horrible language

Loved this story, but completely unnecessary use of foul language , random gratuitous F bombs. I would have rated it 5 stars otherwise.

Charming

I absolutely loved this. The characters are so real I want to have dinner with them. Send me the wedding invitation please. I found myself laughing and smiling throughout the listen. This would make a great film.

Very sweet, short listen. Made me laugh.

Feel good listen. Very sweet and lifted my spirits! Would love to check out more from this author.

Smiled from start to finish

I smiled from start to finish, loving the humor, charisma and banter between these two. And the oh so romantic ending. The narrators were great.

Beautiful story of true love.

Should be shared with our youth. So they learn how dating and respect for one another coincides.

Cute Love Story

I enjoyed this story. It was a short, fun romp to break up my day.

How sweet

This book is literally a setup by the family. It's short and to the point with not a lot of angst.
