Mr.Imperfect Series is a book with three love stories, the protagonists being three intriguing women with their ‘imperfect’ partners. The stories are based on Non-Resident Indians settled in the city of Dallas. The three protagonists Nikki, Sonali and Maya are strong, independent women with promising careers or education.

They are modern yet values the tradition, culture and beliefs and also has clear opinions and views of their lives.

In House of Love, Nikki is a real-estate agent who meets the smart and handsome Karan. Nikki is also ambitious and wants to prove herself to her father who favours his son Virat over her.

Arranged Marriage is the story of Sonali who marries Ishan through an arranged marriage. Though she was skeptical about living in a far-off place in Dallas, from her parents she finally gives in to their wish. The story is beautifully narrated, the apprehensions and confusions of a new bride carefully filled in.

Will she able to live a life with this stranger? Will love find a way?
Love Tango is the story of Maya who replaces the belly dancer Laila in Tahir’s restaurant. Tahir, who is born to a conservative Muslim family chooses this career and is also successful. The handsome Tahir is bewitched by Maya’s performance but Maya is uncomfortable with his flirting. However, Tahir is inspired by her and weaves a story on her charms. How will this pair end up? Does opposites attract? Does history repeat itself? Will the past haunt Maya?
Now, who doesn’t have a little peccadillo? These stories make one believe in true love and to look beyond those flaws and find the true essence of life. The couple decides to give it a go even though it means they should go through adjustments and compromises.
The three stories are down-to-earth and touch a chord especially since it can be found in different walks of our lives. All the six leading characters have been crafted spectacularly well. There is perfect balance and brings out the beauty of human relationships. The author has brought about such sweet and crisp stories. And my favourite? It’s Love Tango where there is a perfect blend of love, spice and passion. Also, it mostly resonates to the kind of love I personally know about and believe in. 😉
There was scope for a little more drama in the stories.
Do I recommend? Yes, a light read! Maybe, while you travel!
