Once Upon a Wedding (Book 5)
There may be no strings attached
So why are his feelings in knots?
Spending his tropical honeymoon with his lifelong best
friend, Rani Mistry, was the balm Param Sheth needed after being jilted on his
wedding day. Until an unexpected kiss unleashes emotions long held in check!
Param and Rani agree it was a mistake, never to be discussed again. But when
Rani declares their (fake) elopement so Param's younger brother can be married,
they can't ignore their very real -- and very buried -- feelings much longer.
And as Rani's pretend husband, Param wonders whether it's finally time to make
this fantasy come true…
Param and Rani have been best friends since they were ten
years old. When Param was left at the altar on his wedding day (
No Rings Attached), he took Rani on his honeymoon trip. She gave him the time he needed
to process without bugging him about moving on. Everything was as usual with
them except for the night they had a little too much to drink, leading to a much
more than friendly kiss. Freaked out by the feelings stirred up and not wanting
to risk their friendship, Param and Rani agreed to pretend it never happened.
Not long after they return home, Param's brother has a
medical emergency that needs expensive treatment. There is a trust fund that
will be released when all the brothers are married - and Param is the last
single brother. Rani suggests they fake a relationship and marry long enough to
get the funds. Surely, as best friends, they can pull off such a deception.
I enjoyed watching Param and Rani's relationship develop.
Neither one has been able to forget "that kiss" and are confused by
their sudden physical awareness of each other. Both fight the attraction that grows
stronger every time they are together. Having to put on the "we're in
love" act for their families just makes it more challenging. I laughed at
their reactions when everyone around them said it was about time they realized
their feelings for each other. Sometimes, I wanted to shake both of them for
being so blind and especially Rani for being so stubborn. I loved the ending
and seeing both let go of their fears and embrace the truth of their feelings.
I enjoyed spending time with the two families. The
teasing and support and long history of their relationships kept me intrigued
from start to finish. The glimpses of customs, foods, and traditions added to my
enjoyment of the story.
