Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco—a compelling, heartwarming romance between two strangers from completely different worlds, and a poignant exploration of cultural assimilation, identity, and the meaning of the word home.

Only in a family like the Rajes could San Francisco’s most acclaimed neurosurgeon be considered the black sheep. Dr. Trisha Raje has developed groundbreaking technology and won the respect of her peers and the life-long gratitude of her patients. Still, her large, close-knit family—descended from old Indian nobility—has certain rules to uphold. Trusting outsiders is frowned upon. Disloyalty of any kind is unacceptable. Trisha never intended to jeopardize her brother’s political aspirations, yet her long-ago actions inadvertently did just that. At last she has a chance to turn that around.

Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before—people who judge his background and find it lacking, who put pedigree above character. He may need the lucrative, career-making job the Rajes offer, but he has little time for Trisha, especially when he learns that she’s the arrogant surgeon who wants to perform an untested procedure on his sister, Emma.

As the two continually clash, their assumptions shatter like spun sugar on one of DJ’s stunning desserts. Drawn to DJ’s steadiness, humor, and passion—as well as his extraordinary food—Trisha begins to reexamine her view of the world, while challenging his beliefs about the nature of family. But there’s a past to be reckoned with before they can hope to savor a future bursting with delicious possibility.

foi divertido;

esse é um daqueles livros que os problemas poderiam ter sido resolvidos simplesmente com DIÁLOGO, mas ele foi até bacaninha. os protagonista são meio cuzões, mas é um livro inspirado em orgulho e preconceito, então eu já esperava. gostei da escrita da autora e gostei que ela deu profundidade para quase todos os personagens dos livros. mas achei algumas coisas bem irreais, principalmente a parte médica (tipo tenho quase certeza que você não pode se envolver tão pessoalmente na vida dos seus pacientes) e eu queria que a trisha tivesse reagido mais as coisas da família dela, ela foi tratada como lixo em quase todo ele por quase todo mundo e não tinha uma voz pra dar um grito com aquele povo ???? mas sei lá, foi uma leitura gostosinha e eu vou continuar a série, com certeza.
