I tried on two separate occasions to read this one. But I'm with Fantasy, I couldn't get into it. It wasn't what I was expecting it to be. Reserved for chambejd from the 2003 or Newer VBB.

Mailed out to chambejd.
It arrived today with a secret traveling partner! Thanks so much!! Hopefully I like it better than you two did!
This book was a quick and easy read. I didn't really have a problem getting into the story but I do hate the standard storyline - parents pressure daughter to get married (or feels pressure from others) so girl does something stupid like lie or make something up. So predictable but not a bad story.
This went in the mail to elsi.
I can't believe that I never journaled this when it arrived back in 2009! I'm passing it along to Xeyra who won it in this month's YBS at BookObsessed.
At some point, I wound up with two copies of this book. The other copy was sent to terra57 back in 2011. I really enjoyed reading it.
From the back cover:
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
Lina Ray has a knack for pairing up perfect couples as a professional matchmaker in San Francisco, but her well-meaning, highly traditional Indian family wants her to get married. When her Auntie Kiki introduces Lina to the bachelor from hell at her sister's wedding in India, Lina panics and blurts out, "I'm engaged!" Because what's the harm in a little lie?
Who's sari now?
Lina scrambles to find a real fiancé because Auntie Kiki will be coming to America soon to approve the match. But date after disastrous date gets her no closer to her prince—until an actual prince arrives on her doorstep. Lina hasn't been able to stop fantasizing about traditional but dashing Raja Prasad since she met him in India. In fact, her imaginary fiancé has begun to resemble him! Now Raja is in San Francisco and wants Lina to find a suitable bride for his brother. Though they live oceans apart, Lina longs to bridge the gap. But when her fantastic fib catches up with her, life is suddenly like a Bollywood flick gone horribly wrong. Lina may have an over-developed fantasy life, but she certainly never imagined things would turn out like this!
