About this ebook

Opposites attract in this laugh-out-loud romantic comedy about a free-spirited lawyer who is determined to find the perfect match for the grumpy bachelor at her cousin's wedding.
 
After a devastating break-up, celebrity-obsessed lawyer Zara Patel is determined never to open her heart again. She puts her energy into building her career and helping her friends find their happily-ever-afters. She's never faced a guest at the singles table she couldn’t match, until she crosses paths with the sinfully sexy Jay Dayal.
 
Former military security specialist Jay has no time for love. His life is about working hard, staying focused, and winning at all costs. When charismatic Zara crashes into his life, he's thrown into close contact with exactly the kind of chaos he wants to avoid. Worse, they're stuck together for the entire wedding season.
 
So they make a deal. She'll find his special someone if he introduces her to his celebrity clients. But when their arrangement brings them together in ways they never expected, they realize that the perfect match might just be their own.

Ratings and reviews

Zara Patel is ready to devote all her time to her job, her family, and her matchmaking skills during the wedding season. The last thing the colorful Zara wants is to find another man. During a bachelor/bachelorette paintball excursion, Zara gets paired with Jay Dayal....the serious, unfriendly, stick-in-the mud gorgeous groomsman. Well in Zara and Jay's case opposites really do attract! When Zara and Jay come to an agreement about helping each other out, they start to spend a lot of time together until they get to the point where the only thing they want is each other. Unfortunately, there are things from both of their pasts that could get in the way of their happy ever after. I just loved this enemies to lovers story. Zara was such a fun, loving and outgoing person. She brought fun wherever she went. Jay was a very reserved, serious person who always wanted to do the right thing. Together the brought out the best in the other and it was fun watching that happen. There were so many laugh out loud moments that I had a hard time putting this book down. This was another great story by Sara Desai in her Marriage series.
