Accidentally Engaged by Farah Heron
5.0

“When it comes to bread, Reena Manji knows exactly what she's doing. She treats her sourdough starters like (somewhat unruly) children. But when it comes to Reena's actual family—and their constant meddling in her life—well, that recipe always ends in disaster.

Now Reena's parents have found her yet another potential Good Muslim Husband. This one has the body of Captain America, a delicious British accent, and lives right across the hall. He's the perfect, mouthwatering temptation . . . and completely ruined by the unwelcome side dish of parental interference.

Reena refuses to marry anyone who works for her father. She won't be attracted to Nadim's sweet charm or gorgeous lopsided smile. That is, until the baking opportunity of a lifetime presents itself: a couples' cooking competition with the prize of her dreams. Reena will do anything to win—even asking Nadim to pretend they're engaged. But when it comes to love, baking your bread doesn't always mean you get to eat it too.”

I’m a sucker for romance-especially when people are in a fake relationship and then it turns in to the real thing. I really enjoyed this book and loved everything about it. The romance between Reena and Nadim was just adorable and just great. I enjoyed the familial ties and the drama around the family and the growth within the family. I really loved the self discovery that Reena makes by the end of the book. Plus, the food sounded divine in the book.
