The Other Man

A heartwarming and transporting romantic comedy about finding happy ever after on your own terms.

Heir to his father's Mumbai business empire, Ved Mehra has money, looks, and status. He is also living as a closeted gay man. Thirty-eight, lonely, still reeling from a breakup, and under pressure from his exasperated mother, Ved agrees to an arranged marriage. He regrettably now faces a doomed future with the perfectly lovely Disha Kapoor.

Then Ved's world is turned upside down when he meets Carlos Silva, an American on a business trip in India.

As preparations for his wedding get into full swing, Ved finds himself drawn into a relationship he could never have imagined--and ready to take a bold step. Ved is ready to embrace who he is and declare his true feelings regardless of family expectations and staunch traditions. But with his engagement party just days away, and with so much at risk, Ved will have to fight for what he wants--if it's not too late to get it.

Delightful!

This book was so wonderful to read in so many ways! It definitely brought back memories of my time in Bangalore many years ago! I could hear the character speak in the distinctive Indian dialect (I hope that's the right word to use!). And the descriptions of the food made my mouth water through so many of the chapters. It makes me want to find the nearest Indian restaurant to satisfy at some cravings that I had long suppressed. More importantly, this lead character was written so wonderfully that I couldn't put the book down. I fell in love with him and his journey find out who he was and where he was supposed to be in his life. This is going on my highly recommended book list! And my next book to read will be his first book. I hope he has the third book on its way very soon.
