The one thing I loved the most about this book was, unlike most retellings that rely heavily on Austen's beloved classic, this book manages to retain its uniquity in sub-plots and character developments.
Sparks fly, misunderstandings happen, drama ensues, truth prevails, sparks fly harder this time around and ignites a crazy fire and yayyy happy humping ummm ending. Darcy James Caine aka DJ Caine, portrayed as the male Lizzy Bennet, is a hot chef with yummy biceps and yummier desserts, who becomes a victim of his own assumptions when he meets our royal Dr.Raje. Sonali Dev has successfully delivered an awesome, gender-swapped retelling of everyone's favourite love story, with exotic Indian flavours and beautifully believable characters.ĭr.Trisha Raje, the proud and acclaimed Neurosurgeon, is our female Mr.Darcy, trying to save the world, one brain at a time. I've read so many variations of P&P and never have I been this satisfied with one. Now this is the kind of retelling that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out! But there's a past to be reckoned with before they can hope to savor a future bursting with delicious possibility. Drawn to DJ's steadiness, humor, and passion-as well as his extraordinary food-Trisha begins to reexamine her view of the world, while challenging his beliefs about the nature of family.
He may need the lucrative, career-making job the Rajes offer, but he has little time for Trisha, especially when he learns that she's the arrogant surgeon who wants to perform an untested procedure on his sister, Emma.Īs the two continually clash, their assumptions shatter like spun sugar on one of DJ's stunning desserts. Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before-people who judge his background and find it lacking, who put pedigree above character. At last she has a chance to turn that around. Trisha never intended to jeopardize her brother's political aspirations, yet her long-ago actions inadvertently did just that. Still, her large, close-knit family-descended from old Indian nobility-has certain rules to uphold. Trisha Raje has developed groundbreaking technology and won the respect of her peers and the life-long gratitude of her patients. Only in a family like the Rajes could San Francisco's most acclaimed neurosurgeon be considered the black sheep. Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco-a compelling, heartwarming romance between two strangers from completely different worlds, and a poignant exploration of cultural assimilation, identity, and the meaning of the word home.
