Description
Emma gets a fresh Indian-American twist from award-winning author Sonali Dev in her heartwarmingly irresistible Jane Austen inspired rom com series.
No one can call Vansh Raje’s life anything but charmed. Handsome—Vogue has declared him California’s hottest single—and rich enough to spend all his time on missions to make the world a better place. Add to that a doting family and a contagiously sunny disposition and Vansh has made it halfway through his twenties without ever facing anything to throw him off his admittedly spectacular game.
A couple years from turning forty, Knightlina (Naina) Kohli has just gotten out of a ten-year-long fake relationship with Vansh’s brother and wants only one thing from her life…fine, two things. One, to have nothing to do with the unfairly blessed Raje family ever again. Two, to bring economic independence to millions of women in South Asia through her microfinance foundation and prove her father wrong about, well, everything.
Just when Naina’s dream is about to come to fruition, Vansh Raje shows up with his misguided Emma Project... And suddenly she’s fighting him for funding and wondering if a friends-with-benefits arrangement that’s as toe-curlingly hot as it is fun is worth risking her life’s work for.

In multicultural novels starring plucky Indian-American women, both Sonali Dev and Shobhan Bantwal play out classic cultural conflicts without sacrificing an upbeat tone or respect for tradition. Both writers create likable characters who find themselves at odds with family expectations. While Dev is more lighthearted, Bantwal discusses more serious matters. -- Mike Nilsson
Uzma Jalaluddin and Sonali Dev blend together romance, family dynamics, and journeys of self-acceptance into upbeat stories full of heart. Some of Dev's books veer a bit steamier than Jalaluddin's. -- Halle Carlson
Readers may find more laughs in Sonali Dev's work than Sandra Kitt's, but those looking for warm and engaging contemporary romances with thoughtfully assembled prose and likable, well-developed women protagonists will enjoy both authors' catalogs. -- Stephen Ashley
Though Sonali Dev's writes romances and Indira Ganesan tends toward literary fiction-style love stories, both create complex female characters caught in a conflict between tradition, modernity, and self-realization. Humor also figures prominently in their work, as does a strong sense of Indian culture. -- Mike Nilsson
In spite of writing different sorts of novels -- Sonali Dev does contemporary romance and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni veers toward mainstream fiction -- both authors deftly summon the tension between traditional Indian culture and modern American culture through their complex, conflicted heroines. -- Mike Nilsson
