You’ll meet Kareena Mann, who on her thirtieth birthday sets out to find her soulmate under the approving eyes of a meddling, well-meaning circle of relatives, and you’ll cheer for Bobbi Kaur, a passionate event planner navigating wedding fever, rivalries, and a deliciously prickly love interest.

What This Collection Covers:
Together, these two novels explore how families and friends influence romance in modern Indian and South Asian diaspora settings. Dating Dr. Dil centers on ambition, dating, and honest self-discovery as Kareena negotiates a race against time—finding a soulmate before a party, while her father contemplates retirement and selling the family home. Tastes Like Shakkar shifts to wedding season, showing Bobbi juggling plans, her own career ascent, and a sizzling, sometimes prickly connection with Bunty, the groom’s best friend and a chef who spices up more than just the menu. Across both stories, Sharma threads humor, cultural nuance, and emotionally resonant choices, creating a cohesive reading experience about love, loyalty, and the aunties who insist on playing matchmaker in the best possible way. This set is ideal for readers seeking warm, witty contemporary romance with a distinctly relatable family voice.
Book-by-Book Guide:
Dating Dr. Dil — Kareena Mann embraces a bold dating plan to transform her love life before the party that could seal her destiny. With a deadline looming, she agrees to a practical, high-stakes challenge: find a soulmate who will win the approval of her meddling aunts and fit into a family that cherishes tradition even as it enjoys a modern, fearless approach to romance. The narrative crackles with humor, heartfelt moments, and a cast of loyal friends who cheer, challenge, and gently push Kareena toward authentic connection. Sharma balances witty banter with real chemistry, ensuring every encounter reveals growth, vulnerability, and the joy of choosing love on your own terms.
Tastes Like Shakkar — Bobbi Kaur is determined to orchestrate a wedding-worthy celebration for her best friend, even as chaos swirls around the event. The tension thickens when Bunty Padda, the groom’s sharp-witted and irresistibly attractive best friend, becomes both a colleague and a flirtatious foil. Sabotage, ambition, and a shared commitment to family complicate the romance, turning professional pressure into a personal journey.
