The Singles Table by Sara Desai

Zara Patel is concentrating on her work. Being a celebrity lawyer is much more interesting than being matched up by any one of her meddling aunties. And she just wants to have fun at her cousin's wedding and everything leading up to it. Too bad the first gig up is paintball where she meets the infuriating Jay Dayal who is taking it all way too seriously.

Jay has plans in life. He wants to get married to a woman who is classy, likes society, and will decorate his arm without causing embarrassment. Zara shows that she is the exact opposite of... most of those things.

Even though they have a rocky introduction (Zara shoots Jay in the ass with her paintball gun), and it doesn't really get any better, the two finally come to a detente. Zara will help Jay find a wife if he introduces her to some celebrity clients. Of course, spending more time together does produce more fireworks.

I wish the ending hadn't had quite so many road bumps but otherwise enjoyed the book immensely.
