    About this audiobook

    ""Nisha Sharma's Dating Dr. Dil is what would happen if you put all my favorite romantic comedy tropes into a blender: a frothy, snarky, hilarious treat with a gooey, heartwarming center. The perfect addition to any rom-com lover's shelf."" —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation

    Nisha Sharma’s new romantic comedy features enemies to lovers, a cast of best friends, and a gaggle of aunties determined to make a match.

    Hi! I’m Kareena Mann. As cheesy as it sounds, I’m looking for my soulmate. In four months. And he must gain the approval of my meddling aunties.

    Kareena dreams of having a perfect love story like her parents did. That’s why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she’s decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. When her widowed father announces he’s retiring and selling their home after her sister’s engagement party, Kareena makes a deal with him. If she can find her soulmate by the date of the party, he’ll gift her the house, and she’ll be able to keep her mother’s legacy alive.

    Hi, I’m Dr. Prem Verma, host of the Dr. Dil Show. Prem means love, Dil means heart, and I’m a cardiologist. Don’t let my name fool you. I only fix broken hearts in the literal sense.

    Prem doesn’t have time for romance, which is why it’s no surprise when his first meeting with Kareena goes awry. Their second encounter is worse when their on-air debate about love goes viral. Now Prem’s largest community center donor is backing out because Prem's reputation as a heart-health expert is at risk. To get back in his donor’s good graces, he needs to fix his image fast, and dating Kareena is his only option.

    Even though they have warring interests, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he thinks she’s might actually be the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. In this Taming of the Shrew re-imagination, for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.

    “Bursting with character, spicy tension and laughs, Dating Dr. Dil is the enemies to lovers dream book!” —Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer

      The female narrator for this book has the most annoying voice. The male narrators voice was fine.

      this book so nearly got an extra star, if it wasn’t for the number of times ‘charlie’ is referred to - iykyk.
    • 5/5
      I don't know why I waited so long to read this book! It was so good! I love the enemies to love trope and this did it so well. I enjoyed the cultural references and of course the happily ever after.

      I really enjoyed this book. I laughed and cried and the ending was perfect!
    • 5/5
      Two single people trying to find their way in life come together in an unlikely way with a business agreement to get engaged that just might help them both out. Their varying views of love offer conflict and heat. I enjoyed the rawness of the characters and their believable interactions.
    • 5/5
      Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma is a fun, romantic comedy that is loosely based on Taming of the Shrew. The story starts out with Kareena helping her sister with her wedding planning, and finding out her dad wants to sell the family home. Kareena wants to buy the home but she can’t afford it. Her dad makes a deal — Kareena must find her soul mate and he will give her the house. One day she meets Dr. Prem Verma (aka Dr. Dil, who has a tv talk show), and they both have a heated debate about love (while on the air). He wants to open his own practice, but once his investors see the debate, they back out. Kareena and Prem decide to work together to get what they both want most, which may include finding love. This book is super fun! There’s romance, tons of humor (love the aunties!!), fake dating, and some spice. I met Nisha Sharma at a romance genre convention, and I’m so glad I did. I’m definitely a fan!! I can’t wait to read her next book in the series, Tastes like Shakkar.
    • 2/5
      Kareena and Prem need things to happen in their life's and as a means to an end is the solution of working together presents itself.

      I didn't love this book. But I did listen to the whole audiobook so it wasn't a complete loss.

      Concerning things for me:
      --For the age of the characters, in their 30s, they were both fairly immature about what expectations they would have in life, and love.
      --In the end I could have done without the named appendage.
      --the librarian reference in relation to Poem's sexual fantasies, Kareena was a lawyer

      Topics I enjoyed:
      --Aunties in action, mostly in the background but I love a good Auntie group.
      --Kareena's girlfriends
      --the concept of Kareena doing home renovation and automotive care as a means to connect with her mother, and be self sufficient

      It was a fun story to read. From start to end.
    • 5/5
      THIS BOOK! It’s a new fav. Extra steamy, extra awesome South Asian experience. There are so many things to love! The feminist storyline, the quality friendships, the HOTTNESS…. I was sad when it ended.
    • 5/5
      I absolute loved this book, all of the culture and how Indian families value matches and love matches, and bringing families together was beautiful to read in this story. I especially loved the aunties and how they are do meddlesome hahahaha.

      Loving this one, it's light and relatable as a desi girl

      Lol you people like this
      book so much because
      it's low-key erotica! You
      cannot tell me anything
      else
      It read like a beautiful
      feel good movie when
      you're just happy to be
      home and enjoying two
      people fall in love but
      fight it
    • 5/5
      This was the best romcom I have "read" in a while. Its full of the typical quirks that are present jn the South Asian community. I laughed and cried and had a great time. I already have other books by Nisha lined up. I am officially a fan.
    • 5/5
      Fabulous story. Wonderful narrators. Loved every single thing about this audiobook.
    • 5/5
      what a great read, the perfect rom com, loved it.
    • 4/5
      3.5 stars

      Once I got past how reactive Kareena was and Dr. Dill's extremely old fashion comments I found the story hilarious in all the right places. The family dynamic and Indian culture were so captivating I could have listened to them for hours.

      The story was unique from start to finish. The TV revolves around a Doctor that deals with love but doesn't believe in love himself and a nerdy heroine who needs to get engaged but only wants to get engaged for love. Initially, they clash left, right and centre but as they both have something to gain from a potential engagement they start to work out a plan. While being naked.

      Along the way, it's funny seeing Kareena's dating failures because it highlights today's dating challenges and I laughed at each one. This also brought forward Dr. Dill's protective streak. It started to bring another layer to his character.
    • 5/5
      Love love love this refreshing take on a desi romance without any kitsch or cringe! As an NRI myself the references were pretty relatable and nostalgic. Definitely recommend to all romance readers :)
    • 3/5
      It really isn’t a bad book but I had to DNF it because the audiobook is pretty messed up

      A fun, entertaining read. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
    • 5/5
      Cute, funny, romcom

      I really enjoyed this story. Worth the read.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this overall. The main characters were likeable and I loved the Indian community and cultural backdrop. It had some good twists. I do wish it had been a bit shorter. I feel like it meandered a bit and could have tied up a bit neater, but again...it was enjoyable overall.
    • 4/5
      A fun, steamy and beautiful live story about characters working together and falling in love along the way! This is also a beautiful love letter to desi culture!
    • 4/5
      This was a fun rom-com read that’s light and entertaining.
    • 3/5
      The narrator’s pronunciation is excruciating to listen to! She should have consulted a native Indian speaker on how to pronounce simple Hindi words like paratha, ghee, and dahi.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this story ? two very passionate people trying to convince one another on what's right. Meddling families ? it was a vibe
