Highly Recommended

An interesting plot with good characters. Life is hard and sometimes you need someone to help you deal with life’s challenges. The only negative is the virtual narrator.

Delightful with a pinch of Villain

I just really enjoyed the push and pull of an arranged marriage due to circumstances that otherwise these characters would not have ended up together. The story is full of love, but then the author adds that pinch of Villain to stir the pot. Forgiveness and the dreadful fear was dealt with too.
