The hilarious new novel from the bestselling author of CHAPATTI OR CHIPS?
Kareena is understandably nervous on her wedding night, when she will make love to her husband for the first time - but at least she knows her parents have chosen well. Samir is goodlooking, gentle and considerate - and, although she's met him only a few times, Kareena is confident she will grow to love him. But Samir has a secret. A secret in the shapely form of Cloey whom he's been dating for the past six years. Cloey isn't prepared to give up her man - or, more importantly, his bank balance without a fight. And she's prepared to fight very dirty indeed. Kareena, however, is not the timid little Indian bride Cloey had expected her to be. In fact, Cloey might just have met her match.
For twenty-three years, Naina has saved herself for the Indian man that her parents have chosen for her to marry. Ashok, the man they've chosen, is handsome, kind and considerate. Although she has only met him twice, Naina knows that he will make a good husband. There's just one small problem: Dave. Goodlooking and charming, Dave is everything that Ashok is not. An unreliable rogue and incorrigible womaniser, Dave is bad news. Naina knows that. And with six months to go until her wedding day, she knows she should keep well away from him. So why can't she stop herself? As for Dave, he's met the only woman he's ever really regarded as a friend: the one woman whose knickers he can't get into. And as such, he finds Naina irresistible. . .
