Love may crave cardamom, but you should crave this book!

So much love is poured into the pages of this book. Love of Jaipur, love of art, love of cooking, love of romance...this was truly such a joy to read (fitting for a Joy Revolution book!). Archi is such a dynamic narrator, and her passion is infectious. Her outings with Shiv are written with such lush prose, and it perfectly honors both the history and the current culture of Jaipur. Are there a few times you want to shake her? Of course, her obliviousness is a bit much. But you'll root for her and Shiv the whole way through.

Note: This is an inter-connected standalone, but you don't need to read the first book to understand this one.

Thank you to NetGalley and Joy Revolution for an eARC in exchange for my honest review.

This book is a vibrant journey through art, love and self-discovery set in the heart of Rajasthan. Archa and Shiv’s chemistry is effortless, their moments together filled with warmth adventure, excitement and anticipation, reflecting the emotional tension and growing mystery between them. With royal secrets breathtaking settings and a heroine chasing her dreams this story is as sweet as it is unforgettable. Highly recommending it.

Archi just wants a semester boy free. But when she meets Shiv on the train, something sparks between them.
As she learns more any art and the history of the royal collection, she also falls for Shiv. But when she finds out that he isn't who he seemed to be she has to figure out what she wants.
Filled with art history, friendships, college fun, and good food, we see Archi come into herself and find some people that make a big impact along the way.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.
