Title: The Dating Plan

Author: Sara Desai

Genre: Romance

Release Date: March 16th, 2021

Summary:

What happens when an engagement is faked for the benefit of both parties?

Daisy Patel has known Liam Murphy since she was a child.  He was her brother's best friend after all.  They were even going to be going to Daisy's prom together, until Liam failed to show up breaking Daisy's heart.

Years later, Daisy is at a conference working for a personal care start up company.  While getting the products of their competitors from the bathroom, her ex boyfriend and former boss are hooking up in a bathroom stall.  She grabs what she needs (plus extra) and rushes out only to be met with her match making Aunties with a potential husband from one side and Liam Murphy from the other.  To get her Aunties off her back, Liam kisses her.

Her Aunties continue to try to match her with another man, Roshan, even after the events at the conference.  Meanwhile, Liam's grandfather has passed away and left the family distillery to him, under one condition: he gets married before his birthday and remains married for at least one year.  If he fails to do so, the distillery will go to his brother, Brendan, who wants to sell it to help grow Murphy Motors.

Rating: 4/5

Review:

I enjoyed this book overall, even with it's rom-com predictability.  It was fast paced with enough changes that it didn't drag.  The only points I took off were because of the predictability.
