I loved this book. Actually the entire series and I am sad to see it come to an end. Veera and Deepak started as friends, accidentally got married, then realized they were in love. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, do it! You won’t regret it.


💜 friends to lovers
💜 fake marriage
💜 open door romance

This series from Nisha has been one of my favorites over the past couple of years and this book did not disappoint. I loved the tension and the pining between Deepak and Veera and the family drama made all the stakes feel that much higher. I think this one might be my fave in the series!

The final installment of this series captures the pressure to settle down but also wan ting to have the career and the love you dream for. Nisha Sharma put such time and care into Deepak and Veera and is relatable to every type of reader in romance.

As book 1 and 2, this book is just pure love, smut and desi references. A combo of which i loved seeing. It's cute to see the trio of girls and guys bonding and falling in love (even if it's a little predictable). I wish there was more work done on unpacking how our FMC was excluded from the world of women until she got married or the age old sexist tropes that the older women were happy to keep up. It felt like the FMC was fine complaining and fighting against them UNTIL she got married and in the "in crowd" and then suddenly it wasn't an issue.

Without sounding super sappy, as a young adult Indian woman who now lives in America, I can not even explain how much Nisha Sharma and her books means to me ❤️ seeing this kind of representation in the romance genre makes me so unbelievably happy. This was a brilliant end to a trilogy we all love to dearly!

I liked this book better than the second one because I think Veera and Deepak have way more chemistry. They make more sense.

Veera and Deep get married when they're drunk and realize this might be the best way to save both of their careers. Veera wants to do equitable lending and start her own venture and Deep needs to prove to the board he is responsible and focused. But they both end up in love, to be fair Veera was already in love.

I enjoyed learning more about the wedding customs and traditions, I thought they were explained well for any of us who don't come from that background. I love how nerdy the couple is too. And I liked the commentary on how coupled up people kind of forget and push away their single friends because–SO TRUE.

There's some great commentary too about women in business and how families still think even in modern times that your sole purpose should be marriage and babies.

Spoilers follow
Olivia publically breaks up with Deepak, Veera needs his help, he goes to India to help her they get drunk and get married. She's always been in love with him and she moves in with him and they begin to convince their parents and the business board that they are a legit couple. Deep realizes he loves her too and wants to be with her but he's afraid she won't return his feelings.

But when her father, who fired them and wouldn't let them have positions in the new company after the merger, turns her twin against her everyone joins forces to teach him a lesson. Her twin ends up with Olivia, this felt random and I didn't really buy their chemistry or relationship. They turn the board against Veera's father and they all get what they want professionally.

Another great book by Nisha! The fake marriage, the family and friend circles, the banter, the spice, the shenanigans! It was so good!

I've enjoyed all the books in this series, and Marriage & Masti is no exception! This book is a Twelfth Night retelling with an rivals/friends-to-lovers romance set in the world of New York finance. The plot and romance are so fun in this book. I loved Veera and Deepak as characters and was rooting for them the whole time, while simultaneously enjoying their banter. Both of them feel like the odd single ones out in their friend group, and seeing their relationship develop was very satisfying. The spice was also really fun! I highly recommend this heartwarming, fun, and good time of a desi romcom!

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyager, and Nisha Sharma for providing this e-ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This was one of my favorites by Nisha Sharma! This entire series has been so fun but with so much depth, and Marriage & Masti was no exception. I enjoyed the friendship between the main characters and seeing how that blossomed.

I loved this trilogy and this one was the best! It was so fun and sexy and a true delight to revisit the characters we've grown to love- especially the aunties.

pains me to say this, but this didn't work for me at all. I didn't particularly like any of the characters. Veera was on her high horse all the time. Deepak was straight up awful. I felt like the drama really overshadowed everything. I ended up skimming a good part of this because I was tired of the rollercoaster of family drama.

Friendship is a strong thread in this series and it's been enjoyable to watch the six main characters (three women/three men) evolve over the course of the three books as well as their interwoven relationships. It's a relatable reflection of what we all face as friendships transition due to growth, marriage, and other factors in our lives, occasionally leaving some of us on the outside looking in.

As stated in the book's blurb, the relationship between Veera and Deepak is messy and spicy. It's also funny and endearing. I'm a huge fan of fake relationships in fiction and this one had me laughing, sighing, cringing, and cheering.

As with the first two books in the series, family and community played huge roles in Deepak's and Veera's journeys. Particular favorites were Deepak's mother and, of course, the Aunties. We should all be so fortunate to have such a group of Aunties in our lives.

nisha sharma is masterful at her craft -- these characters are utterly lovable and sexy and flawed in the best way

I really enjoyed this spicy friends to lovers, fake marriage story. It’s the 3rd book in the series, and this book is the story of Deepak and Veera, who met in Dating Dr. Dil. Deepak is set to take over his family company, but needs board votes, and when his fiancée calls off the engagement he might not have the votes. Veera has watched her friends getting married and she feels left out. They’re together in Bali for a wedding, and get “married”on the beach. When they get home, it doesn’t seem fake anymore.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley, I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This was the perfect ending to this great series! This is my favorite in this series and I was sad to see it end.
This Shakespeare retelling friends to lovers story was a steamy and adorable book with fun side characters and a satisfying conclusion.

I waited (im)patiently for this book and was not disappointed in the least. Marriage & Masti is funny and entertaining and I 💫absolutely💫 loved Veera and Deepak.

If you like:

• Marriage of convenience/accidentally got married/fake relationship
• Pining and then another side of pining
• Friends to lovers (which is normally not my jam but Nisha can do no wrong and she just NAILS it)
• Wit and humor
• Friend groups
• Nosy Aunties
• A little sampler of light kink but full steam
• "My wife"

This is the third book in the "Aunties" series and can be a standalone, but I highly encourage you to check out the other two books (first???) to see this friendship evolve into something more.

This was one of my most anticipated releases of the year and wow it did not disappoint. Marriage & Masti was definitely my favorite of the series. I adored Deepak and Veera and their relationship. Their fake marriage was done so well and I love how basically everyone could tell it was fake but were just waiting for it to become real.

This was such an interesting retelling of Twelfth Knight and I really enjoyed the different interpretation Nisha Sharma did compared to what you could normally expect in a Twelfth Knight retelling.

I adored Veera and the journey she went through this book. From being told she wasn’t good enough all her life and her greatest purpose in life was to be a wife to her going after her dreams. Having Deepak there to encourage her to chase her dreams while Deepak was more than willing to lose everything he’s worked for to help Veera. Also the feeling of being the odd one out as the only single friend leading to the insecurities she had was extremely relatable as someone who is consistently the single friend in the group. The love I have for all the characters in this series is unmatched and i’m going to miss them terribly now that the series is over.

I'm SO sad that this series is going to end. I loved the found family, the food, and of course, the romance. I've been waiting for Veera's story and loved how she grew into her own in this and found her happy ending.

I've read and enjoyed the previous books in this series, so I was excited to see how the last one happened.

I really liked Veera and Deepak. They have such a strong history, filled with both good and bad, so it was interesting to read how they overcame some of the obstacles. Of course it was fun to see the other couples and the few group scenes were some of the best.

Plot wise, it was good. There really isn't a lot of tension or build up, it's a slow meandering towards the ending, but it really worked. The relationship had a good amount of push and pull and not nearly as many conversations. I'm still not entirely sure why they didn't talk for months.

Overall, this cast of characters is so much fun and I especially loved reading all of the cultural rituals. I could easily read another book in this series.

**Huge thanks to the publisher for providing the arc free of charge**

I have been waiting for Veera and Deepak's story ever since the previous book. This book definitely started off with a bang, and I loved it!

I love Nisha's writing and the steamy scenes...wow. I'm sad this was the last installment, but am looking forward to what else she writes.
