Overview
Tastes Like Shakkar is the second novel in Nisha Sharma's beloved If Shakespeare Were an Auntie series, following the breakout hit Dating Dr. Dil. Blending sharp humour with the sizzling tension of a slow-burn romance, this contemporary rom-com reimagines Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing through the lens of a South Asian wedding season. With chef rivalries, meddling aunties, and a mystery saboteur on the loose, readers get a story that is equal parts sweet, spicy, and irresistibly fun.
About the Book
Bobbi Kaur is determined to plan the celebration of a lifetime for her best friend's wedding, but two problems stand firmly in her way. The first is Benjamin "Bunty" Padda, the egotistical and irritatingly sexy chef she is forced to work alongside. The second is a mysterious shaadi saboteur who begins leaving threatening notes and cancelling vital wedding orders, throwing the entire event into chaos.
Bunty, meanwhile, is juggling his own chaos: scouting a new restaurant location, mediating between his brother and their father (the celebrated Naan King), and now helping his best friend's fiancé with the wedding menu. Being close to Bobbi again stirs feelings neither of them expected, and with the saboteur threatening to ruin everything, they have no choice but to call a truce.
Across masquerade fundraisers, a joint bachelor-bachelorette blowout in Vegas, and the frantic countdown to a wedding at Messina Vineyards, Bunty and Bobbi's chemistry builds from reluctant partnership into something far more volatile and tender. As the saboteur closes in and the big day approaches, both must decide whether they are brave enough to risk their hearts for a real happily ever after.
