One of Oprah Magazine's Most Anticipated Romances of 2020
A high stakes wager pits an aspiring entrepreneur against a ruthless CEO in this sexy romantic comedy.
After her life falls apart, recruitment consultant Layla Patel returns home to her family in San Francisco. But in the eyes of her father, who runs a Michelin starred restaurant, she can do no wrong. He would do anything to see her smile again. With the best intentions in mind, he offers her the office upstairs to start her new business and creates a profile on an online dating site to find her a man. She doesn’t know he’s arranged a series of blind dates until the first one comes knocking on her door…
As CEO of a corporate downsizing company Sam Mehta is more used to conflict than calm. In search of a quiet new office, he finds the perfect space above a cozy Indian restaurant that smells like home. But when communication goes awry, he's forced to share his space with the owner's beautiful yet infuriating daughter Layla, her crazy family, and a parade of hopeful suitors, all of whom threaten to disrupt his carefully ordered life.
As they face off in close quarters, the sarcasm and sparks fly. But when the battle for the office becomes a battle of the heart, Sam and Layla have to decide if this is love or just a game.

What I thought about The Marriage Game
Oh, The Marriage Game was a whole lotta fun! This cute, romantic story gets four stars from this reader.
Layla returns home to her family after some bad luck with men, work, and life in general. Because of miscommunications, she ends up sharing an office with Sam who becomes a friend who ends up looking after Layla as she blind dates ten men. This part of the story is really great and very cute as Sam helps Layla escape some losers. There's great banter between them that will have you smiling.
Because of the time they spend together, Sam and Layla end up falling for each other. But Sam's agenda to help his sister puts some roadblocks in their relationship, and carrying through with his downsizing plan knocks Layla's family in a major way.
I love reading stories like this that describe families and their cultural customs. Not only was The Marriage Game entertaining, it was also diverse and that's so very important in our world today. I adored Layla's family, and the sweet ending was absolutely lovely with everyone in attendance.
Sam does screw up, but he does make it right. I will admit his actions are brutal, and he does suffer the consequences, but he also gets a clue about dealing with his sister's situation which was a major upheaval in his life. Like Layla, he finds a way to move forward with his life, with a little help from the patriarchs from both families. There's really satisfying character growth and development in this story.
I'm a big fan of this author's prior titles under a different pen name, and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed with The Marriage Game. The writing is terrific, the story is told in a way that kept me engaged, and I'm looking forward to more from Sara Desai. The Marriage Game is an entertaining, diverse romance that I really enjoyed.
An ARC was provided. This is my honest review.
