Shilpa Suraj, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your hero, but first, tell us about Love, Marriage, and Other Disasters.

Love, Marriage, and Other Disasters by Shilpa Suraj

Genre: Romance

Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

She believes in love, family and…squiggles!

Alisha Rana is not your typical single desi girl. For one, she is on the wrong side of 30. For another, she is divorced. And last but definitely not least, she is still, gasp, a virgin!

Alisha doesn’t want much. But what she does want is that elusive thing all women search for – A man who gets her…but a man who gets her hot! She calls it “feeling the squiggle.”

Enter Dr. Vivaan Kapoor, cute, hot, squiggle worthy. The younger brother of her cousin’s prospective groom, he’s got the squiggle factor in spades. The only catch? He’s never been married and is years younger than Alisha. Basically, completely off-limits.

And then there is Arjun. Widowed, older than her by the right number of years and a genuinely nice guy. He’s Vivaan’s cousin and a so-called perfect match for Alisha. The problem is Alisha’s squiggle-o-meter refuses to budge for him.

What will Alisha choose? A lifetime together with the ‘right’ man or a chance at happiness with the ‘wrong’ one?

Know the Hero from Love, Marriage, and Other Disasters

It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

Drink a lot of Coke and hang out with his brother and friends.

What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

Junk food. Lots of it.

Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

Frayed jeans and terribly ratty t-shirts.

Does he know how to fix things?

He’s a doctor so he knows how to fix people. So, while he’s good with his hands, his fixing is limited to humans and not things.

He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

He tried to get Alisha to accept that their attraction to each other was worth more than society’s perceptions and norms. Unfortunately, he fails to see her point of view and continues to view it from a place of privilege. Until, a chance encounter with a boorish friend opens his eyes.

How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

Vivaan is great with children. He’s a natural with them and has a strong nurturing gene. He’s also a pediatric oncologist which calls on every ounce of empathy he possesses.

What is he like first thing in the morning?

Vivaan is an inherently optimistic person and wakes up cheerful and raring to go. He’s rarely in a foul mood although Alisha’s denial of their mutual attraction does tip his even temper over.

Can he use chopsticks?

Yes, he can.

Does he drink coffee? If so, how does he take it? If not, what does he drink instead?

Vivaan is addicted to caffeine in any form. While he would always reach for a can of Coke, a mug of coffee is welcome in a pinch too. He prefers it with milk and sugar.

What apps would he have on his phone?

Vivaan’s phone is purely functional. So barring apps like WhatsApp, you’re unlikely to find anything frivolous.

Android or iPhone?

Iphone

Beard or clean-shaven?

Clean shaven

Earrings/piercings/tattoos or unadorned skin?

Unadorned skin

Personal vehicle or public transport?

His personal car.

Recycle or toss?

Recycle. Always.

Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
