Romance Book Escapades

The Devious Husband by Catharina Maura My rating: 5 of 5 stars After reading the stories of all the Windsor Men it was time for the Windsor Woman or I might say Mrs Kingston. Unlike others it was evident that Sierra and Xavier are going to be a pair since Ares and Raven's story "The Wrong Bride". When the story started it was moving in a normal pace and a sort of regular story but once when it reached the mid point, suddenly it turned out to be a roller coaster of emotions. Before this Zane - Celeste and Ares-Raven was my topmost favourites but Sierra-Xavier's pushed those two to 2nd and 3rd favourite. Loved Author Catharina Maura's writing and gonna read more of her works. Also waiting for the release of Valeria and Enzo's story.

Trapped by the Maharaja: A Contract Marriage Romance by M.V. Kasi My rating: 5 of 5 stars Yet another mesmerizing story from the author MV Kasi. Though it's an well explored troop the author have crafted the story neatly and made us fall in love with the leads from the beginning. Despite being predictable, the storytelling kept me hooked and made me read in one sitting. Loved the story of Ram and Sanjana now waiting for the stories of his brothers. Dear author please don't make us wait for long. View all my reviews

The Secret Fiancée by Catharina Maura My rating: 5 of 5 stars One family but different troops, I'm just enjoying it. The author provides a wonderful story with each time. This one is of trauma and healing. Light hearted one compared to others.

The Broken Vows by Catharina Maura My rating: 5 of 5 stars So far the lengthiest book in the series and this one was too emotional, heart breaking and loving. Blamed without wrong doings and misunderstanding over grief and it's after effects. Just loved it. Loved Zane's character arc more than the book, Celeste Character could have been better

The Unwanted Marriage by Catharina Maura My rating: 4 of 5 stars The story of Dion and Faye was as beautiful as the previous two stories in The Windsors series. They both had their own demons and they both are each other's blessings. Healing each other without hurting each other is the best way to love each other being each other's salvation. I enjoyed reading their and now eager for Zane and Celeste's.

The Temporary Wife by Catharina Maura My rating: 5 of 5 stars After reading a glimpse of Luca and Valentine in "The Wrong Bride", I couldn't stop myself from getting the book and reading it. It was entirely worth it. Luca and Valentine were both right in their stands and Luca understanding Valentine in every situation after marriage is just true love. It did feel a bit draggy but was fine.

The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura My rating: 5 of 5 stars The actual bride This was my first book by the author. The book just popped up on recommendation after reading another Indian book series based on arranged marriage. Initially I was hesitant to select this book as I just finished a similar troupe but the author just swayed me away. In the story of Ares and Raven, my heart went out for Raven for what she has been through her life by her mother and devious sister. And Ares, he is just a intelligent fool to not realise what's is right in front of his eyes. I loved the way the story unravelled and scripting. I story telling hooked me up till the end. Though the book is titled "The wrong bride", from the beginning the author was clear to display that Raven must have been the actual bride. Now after getting a glimpse of Luca and Val in the end of the book, I ready to explore other books of the author. View all my reviews...

Twisted Bonds: A Secret Royal Romance by P.G. Van My rating: 5 of 5 stars Sweet and Lovely Bonding It felt so good to learn how Mihir and Chitra fell in love. Their story was so sweet and realistic. And it was amazing to get a glimpse of all 4 lead couples after a decade. Their kids names were beautiful and meaningful. Though this displayed the happy love life 5 couples, my most favourite is the matured Mihir and Chitra's. The authors have wonderfully displayed the love and affection between a couple who are married for 40 plus years and sacrificed a lot for their children. View all my reviews

Twisted Sins: Arranged Marriage with Stolen Bride by M.V. Kasi My rating: 4 of 5 stars Not a good start but a beautiful ending Initially, I didn't like the way Rudra Kabali kidnapped her, drugged her and married her without her consent. Though he didn't touch her without her permission, I didn't like the method he used to hold her captive during night. But I had faith on my authors. I knew there must be something hidden behind the hard exterior and it was beautiful. I loved the way he loved Nandhini. From the beginning I liked Nandhini, the Thakvar tigress's fighting spirit. She never gave up and tried every possible way to get her freedom. And her fight didn't stop after getting her freedom but continued for her love. She was the smartest among all the female leads of this series. Both Rudra and Nandhini sacrificed and suffered the pain for the love of their lives and their loved ones. The authors brilliantly unveiled the villain...

Twisted Flames: Arranged Marriage with Wrong Bride by M.V. Kasi My rating: 5 of 5 stars Only Strong Man can handle strong woman The Story of Guari and Rishabh is one of the such. They met, hate, fought and fell in love. One thing that carried their love is desire which they thought is the only reason for them being together. Gauri Bhil Meena is the strong of the brides from the 3 prominent clans of Signoor other than Thakvar and the only one who was involved in the clan business and duties before being the Thakvar bride. Though she is the wrong bride but Rishabh Thakvar is the correct groom for her. Though the stories of Shivay - Ishani's and Rishabh Gauri had a very minor similarly, I love the later's story more than the former's. I enjoyed reading this dual POV storyline as it helped me connect with both the leads. Kudos to the author who always aces in capturing the readers heart. View all my reviews

Twisted Deceit by P.G. Van My rating: 5 of 5 stars A nice sequel and carry forward I did like Nakul and Aadhya's story. As a person who loves contract marriage trope, I enjoyed their love story after the fake-fake-contract marriage. Unlike Shivay's POV in Twisted Alliance, Nakul's POV was very rare making it unable to connect with him. View all my reviews

Twisted Alliance by P.G. Van My rating: 5 of 5 stars Twisted but beautiful As Always authors PG Van and MV Kasi has aced in their story telling. Though Ishani was too naive to believe her brother and I had to facepalm for her misconception and actions, I loved the way the authors carry forwarded the love between Ishani and Shivay and kept the readers at edge. Jumping soon into other siblings twisted love stories. View all my reviews

Simha International by Sundari Venkatraman My rating: 5 of 5 stars Feel Good one Though I'm very late to read this book it was there on my to be read list for long. The Bansal Legacy series is based on three Bansal siblings, each who manage a hotel in different regions. In Simha International, readers can get to read about the story of the eldest sibling Rohit, how he handles any situation in the hotel and his relationship with his duty officer, Tasha. They both are broken and hurt on their own way and their connection goes long back from being acquaintance, becoming friends and giving up to their passion. How they both handle and support each other and nourish their relationship has been beautifully scripted the author. Loved the way of giving naration from everyone's perspective. View all my reviews

Blood Trail by Ruchi Singh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Perfect Crime Thriller This book kept me at an edge since the first page. The pace of the story didn't get slow for moment and kept me hooked up. The exchange between the leads Armaan and Trisha was great. They both had different goals and different start but their destination was together. A well scripted decent crime thriller with proper measurement of romance and humour. View all my reviews

Reckless Promise by M.V. Kasi My rating: 5 of 5 stars The secret crush of the secret meddler Seeing Neelima Raj as the strict Dean lady of the Simha University, it was refreshing to see her softer side as the student and even as the woman she was. At the end of Reckless Hate when Neelima was getting ready for a dinner with Aravind Roy, I wished to read the read the story and thanks to the author's for making the wish of many reader come true. Waiting to read more such books from the duo as individual and collaboration. View all my reviews

Rules of Attraction by P.G. Van My rating: 0 of 5 stars Slow Burn Started of as a slow burn story, Rules of attraction was a bit slow in pace until 40% kf the story. But once the leads started putting out their feelings for each other, the story picked up the pace. I loved how the love between Harika and Viren grew organically and how the carried forward their relationship. Starting as acquaintance, finding out to be kids from two estranged families, planning to bring their families together and love was beautifully scripted. As always the short break up and patch up in the climax portion was there for which I cried for Harika. I wished she made him wait for another day before forgiving him but everything is fair in love and war. A wonderful read, giving it a four star. View all my reviews

The Royal Contract by P.G. Van My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wonderful Liked the story. It was a slow burn and feel good book. Finding a royal, handsome and supportive husband is rare, she should have also followed her career goal when he is ready to support her in every way. Waiting for the author's next book.

Cruise in Love by M.V. Kasi My rating: 5 of 5 stars Imperfect yet perfect After seeing just a glimpse of Aarav in Crash in Love and Wild in Love and a long wait, we could finally get to see Aarav's second chance romance with Sitara in "Cruise in Love". This could be the luxurious story compared to other two which were based on islands and forest. It's a story about how far someone can go for their love and fear. Though I can't blame Sitara for her actions, I loved Aarav's love more than hers. This book was a good read and nice time pass. View all my reviews
