Praise for Accidentally Married
"Laugh out loud funny, delightfully snarky and heartwarmingly tender, this is by far my favorite book by Andaleeb Wajid. Ahad and Areesha are as real as they are wonderful and Accidentally Married is the best enemies to romance love story I've read so far." - Shilpa Suraj
"A delightful and very contemporary story of a young couple finding themselves, in a familiar setting of loving but meddling families, funny traditions and commonplace problems of daily life and earning livelihoods--shot through with the magical possibilities of love. As usual, Andaleeb Wajid takes a very believable setting and characters who seem familiar, and transforms it into something frothy and yet believable with the persuasive power of her imagination." - Sayoni Basu
"A hilarious book with sizzling chemistry, and loveable characters. Definitely one of Andaleeb’s best books." - Apeksha Rao
"Areesha and Ahad's story is the stuff that dream desi rom-coms are made of - a feuding couple with an interesting back story that is uncovered slowly and steadily, family members they love and who love to meddle in their affairs, a big fat Indian wedding and a whole lot of of sizzling chemistry." - Namrata Sadhvani
Iqra
I’ve always known that people see me as some sort of clown. Well, I’ll have you know, I’m not. What I am, is unique!So the thing is, with everyone in Starville Towers getting married with flawless precision, my mother was freaking out that she hadn’t found a husband for me. So the moment a proposal landed on our doorstep, Ammi said ‘yes’ before any of us could blink. Never mind that it was the guy who was supposed to have married my cousin. Never mind that I didn't get to meet him and ask why he was marrying me instead... never mind that he couldn't even bring himself to look at me.
We were getting married and well, that was that ...

Does the desire I feel for her mean I'm betraying my heart? And where do we go in a marriage when I refuse to love her and she refuses to accept anything less?

Praise for This Time, Forever
They don't make men like Jawad anymore and so Andaleeb Wajid had to write so we could spend our days lost in unattainable dreams. I would fight Tazeen for him, both in reality and in fiction – Shilpa Suraj
I’ve been waiting for this story ever since Andaleeb began the series, and I have to say that it was worth the wait! Jawad is as swoon-worthy as I thought he would be, and Tazeen is the perfect foil for him. All in all, a must read! – Apeksha Rao
Tazeen & Jawad make you mad… and then make you madly fall in love with them! Their journey of discovering themselves & each other is so beautiful & sumptuous! Andaleeb has a tremendous way with words. They instantly capture your heart & take you on a wild ride! I haven’t been the same after being introduced to Jawad. My heart is now aflutter! – Lubna Sayed
Jawad and Tazeen's story is sizzling, literally - with the amazing, unexplored chemistry they both share and figuratively with the undercurrents of what's happening in their relationship and their lives. It's a wonderful reminder that different people have different expectations from their relationships, and that communication is really the best key to a happy, successful marriage. Jawad is a total dream, matched beautifully with the perfection of Tazeen. Can't wait for readers to experience their magic! - Namrata Sadhvani

There is nothing more attractive than a strong heroine who owns her sense of self. Nazish is an example of all that's wonderful in today's breed of women. And Yasir is every woman's surly, brooding lovely grump of a fantasy - Shilpa Suraj
A deliciously grumpy hero, a spunky heroine who can rescue herself, and adorable secondary characters makes this book a must-read! - Apeksha Rao

Praise for Only You -
"Andaleeb Wajid's books are perfect staycation reads. When I first read the Destination Wedding series, I was hoping Ghazal gets her own book. And she did! "
Bijal Vachharajani - Author, A Cloud Called Bhura
"This book is everything I love about Andaleeb Wajid's writing. It's sweet, heartwarming, real and wonderfully bursting with love."
Shilpa Suraj - Author, Love, Marriage and Other Disasters
"A feisty heroine, love, misunderstandings, jealousy and all the myriad complexities that go with it, Andaleeb Wajid's Only You! is a humdinger of a romance that will warm your heart and soul."
Kiran Manral - author The Kitty Party Murder
"A girl named Ghazal, who hides her insecurities behind her lovely smile. A man named Hamdaan who is battling the demons inside his head. Andaleeb Wajid brings these two interesting characters together and spins an engaging tale to show how love conquers all."
Sheila Kumar - author of No Strings Attached and Our Start-up Affair.
"Only You is my favourite book in the Destination Weddings series! It is loaded with warmth, humour, angst and Andaleeb’s special brand of toe-tingling romance."
Apeksha Rao - Author, Along Came a Spyder
"Andaleeb Wajid's 'Only You' - the 5th in the Destination Wedding Series is everything a love story should be - endearing, joyous, very real and honest to the core. I love the fact that she has created characters and situations that are very down-to-earth and extremely relatable, with their own quirks and foibles. The protagonist of the story, Ghazal, is one of the strongest female characters Andaleeb has created - not letting a physical disability quell her quest for true love, standing up for herself and her loved ones when the situation demands and loving with all her heart and soul. This one will warm the cockles of your heart and make you believe that love, truly, will find a way!"
Namrata Bhagtani - Editor, Momspresso
