Harlequin August 2020 Blog Tour - Marriage By Arrangement - Book Review

Marriage By Arrangement by Sophia Singh Sasson

Interior architect Rani Gupta is excited when her plans for a new hotel capture the attention of Arjun Singh, a hotelier with a big budget. Rani wants to own her own firm, and this job will be just what she needs to make her dream a reality. What Rani doesn’t need is to get involved with India’s hottest hottie!

Arjun Singh is in Las Vegas from India planning the family’s newest hotel. He wants the best of the best and when he meets Rani Gupta, he not only likes her plans for the hotel, but he thinks that maybe she can be a fling while he is in Vegas. When he goes home to India, he will be entering into an arranged marriage that he has been trying to postpone. Can he keep his promise to his family?

This was a fun, fast paced romance and one I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters were well written, and I loved getting to learn about the traditional Indian culture and how it affects the younger generation, not only in India, but in other parts of the world as well.  This story has all the right ingredients for the perfect summer read. Thank you so much to the author Sophia Singh Sasson,  Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.

Sophia puts her childhood habit of daydreaming to good use by writing stories that will give you hope, make you laugh, cry and possibly snort tea from your nose. She was born in Mumbai, India, and has lived in the Canary Islands, Spain and Toronto, Canada. Currently she calls the madness of Washington, DC, home. She loves to read, travel to exotic locations, bake, scuba dive and watch Bollywood movies.

Dear Reader,

This story is very personal to me for many reasons. The characters are from my home country of India and they struggle with something that is familiar to me: how to reconcile traditional cultural values with modern beliefs. Rani, my heroine, was raised in America by traditional Indian parents. She was taught that marriage is forever but found herself needing to divorce her husband. Her struggle to trust in love is the heart of this story. Arjun is the eldest son of a dynastic family. How can he love someone who is wrong for his family? This is a story about understanding your true self, and I hope it gives you joy and romance and reminds you to be courageous for love.

Through this book, I am sharing some of my Indian heritage with you and a love story that will resonate with people of all cultures.
