Incense and Sensibility

Dev’s latest is a deeply emotional story of responsibility and impossible love that will appeal to fans of Austen’s classic. It also provides an incisive look at a current political landscape of division and violence, while adding an ultimately hopeful spin. The book’s subjects are often serious, but its ultimate focus on being true to oneself and one’s principles makes this a satisfying and uplifting romance.

Recipe for Persuasion

Clever allusions to Persuasion aside (even Jane Austen fans will be challenged to spot them all), this is a sumptuously multilayered story about the ways love gets tangled in family life and romantic relationships. Highly recommended.

Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors

With humor, insight, and culinary descriptions so rich the tantalizing aromas of curry and cilantro practically waft from the pages, Dev's latest draws readers into a tangled world of class, cultural, and political issues in a delicious riff on Pride and Prejudice. Dev (A Distant Heart) lives in the Chicago area. [See Prepub Alert, 11/26/18.]

A Change of Heart

This combination of steamy romance and crime thriller with an issue-driven plot sometimes reads like two separate novels. Still, the triumph of love and hope over tragedy and despair provides an uplifting counterpoint to the dark heart of this work. [See Prepub Alert, 3/28/16.]
