OMG I love this book. This book has become my comfort book. The character development is so cool. Dylan and Marlow become my favourite couple. Lola!!!!! She is a sweetheart and a cute kid. Waffles an adorable dog. This becomes a perfect family. Marlow agrees to become a nanny for Dylan's daughter. But things get changed after a single mind blowing kiss. Then you know what happens ??? They fell in love overcoming their insecurities. Staffords happily accepts Marlow and Waffles happily into their family.
The bond between Lola and Marlow is beautifully written in this book. Marlow is an artist and she loves to paint and she loves flowers. (Me toooooo)...There are some beautiful moments in this book.
I love when Dylan puts his specs on. Absolutely he is a grump for the world except his daughter and her.
The banter is so good and there are spicy scenes in this book!!!(You must be mature)..I love the nickname of hers and also love the sticky notes written by him. The small town vibe is something else and I love that vibe!!!!!
Overall an enjoyable read for me!!!!!

A Second Chance Romance novel. After breaking up with Ryan, Val moves to the big city. After 20 years she lost everything and came back to his small town. She takes a job as a nanny for Ryan kids. But his kids don't love her. The spark emerges between them. Love for Val is still in the hearts of Ryan. They are now physically connected. But this love and lust complicates their life.
Everyone knows love will bloom in your forties but how the physical connection attracts the MMC's and they consider this as love (IMO). He has teenage kids but he tells them Val is their nanny but they behave like the teens, sometimes it is cute but sometimes it feels awkward.
I have mixed feelings about this book!!
If you love the second chance, small town romance, MC's in 40's read this book

This is the second time I read her book. I had mixed feelings about this book. The FMC is strong because she is a single mom. The MMC is definitely a sunshine guy. The bond between Oliver and Macey's daughter Meckenzie is so good. The girl gang is hilarious and they are supportive of each other. The brothers' are also hilarious and they pull each other's legs when they want !!!!:) But I want more emotional connection between the main characters. Some places there are some foul languages used. I wonder how the friends always speak like this!!!
This is a fast paced book and if you enjoy spicy swoony billionaire romances try this one!!!!

I didn't like this book because I can easily get the plot and it didn't surprise me. I think they have to deepen their emotional connections, not only the physical connections.
They can develop the soulful connections between them...At first I thought I may love the accidental pregnancy trope but the writing doesn't impress me !!!!
This book is not for me!!!!

One of the epics in Indian Culture and History. "Mahabharatha" More than a story it is the way of how a person will have to live in the path of Dharma.
Rishi Vyasa's greatest literature, written by a Hindu God , shows the essence of human nature along with the actions and the equal reactions. This is not just a book but a huge treasure of knowledge that every person searches for.
This book has a complete Mahabharatha story from the starting of the River Ganga's story and ends with the final departure of the Pandavas and also the Lord Krishna.
This is based on the podcast episodes and also written in a neatly descriptive manner.
The story is based on the pandavas and kauravas who fought against each other for the throne of Hastinapur. Kauravas always hate pandavas and insults, humiliates their wife Draupathi in the royal court after winning the dice game. They went for exile and returned back after thirteen years and joined forces along with Krishna and fought for their rights. So many things happen in the war.
Lord Krishna teaches karma and life along with dharma to Arjuna in the field of Gurukshetra. That preaching is known as Gita, that holy book of the Hindus.
The main advantage of the book is it is written in simple English and we can easily understand the words and phrases.
This book is perfect for the beginners with the perfect blend of hindu mythology and fiction.
Each character has different aspects and depths. Each character has good and bad sides. All characters are not good and all characters are not evil. Each coin has two sides like the person's character.
This book teaches the morality of life and helps to understand the reality of life. There are many sub stories of greatest rishis in this book. You can learn about them via this book.
But when I read this book my imagination went to series actors. That may be a little bit awkward. Leave it but I suggest everyone should read this book. This book is best for everyone children, teens and elders.,
Thank you Harpercollins India for sending me the copy of this book! I am grateful for this!!

A Damaged hero, an innocent heroine, pure lust, extreme sex with club activity
The starting of the book is so good..But then a regular same story with lots of sex ... Like I want the gothic plot but always the booze activities makes me feel agitated. It feels another 50 shades of grey with extra spicy and taboo... I picked up this book because it is mentioned as a retelling of beauty and the beast. But I had no idea what they specifically mentioned. Sorry to say this..This book is not for me!!!

4.5/5 read for me...
Steve Kingsley is the man with no feelings for love. He has a heart of ice and never feels for anyone or anything. He goes through the toughest phase of his life and turns his heart into a stone. Grace, an intern in his company, is a strong woman who is never afraids to tell her opinions. She is a sweetheart who also has a tragic past and never trusts any men in her life. But when Steven and Grace start to work together the feelings are slowly developed. But at one point Grace moves out of Steven's office and after some months he unexpectedly met her in the awkward situation. This time she is afraid to believe him. But slowly she believes him but this time a vigorous past enters their lives to separate their love. Will they be able to accept the past? Will both of them overcome their griefs and choose the right path of joy?
This book is perfect. The tension, angst, and banter is so good.
The connection between them is beautifully written and it feels natural. No rush up, no fast paced.
I feel bad for Grace's situation but she overcomes the situation and proves her worth.
Some Person's are not meant for love. Grace's mom is one of them.. She tried to find true love in her lifetime but she cannot.
Steve Kingsley doesn't believe in love but he fells hard for Grace. This trope is literally !!!!!!
The swoon and spice is equally balanced and I love that.
I love the emotional rollercoaster in this book and the communication is good in this book.
I think Grace is stronger than Steve. She is a badass..
Touch her and Die is my most favourite thing in this book!!!
This is the first time I read her book and I love her writing.

This is the first time I read her book. Millie / Emilie who gets out of an abusive relationship and flees to another city and tries to live another life. There she met Jack and was shocked because she met him six years ago and had s*x with them. But now she hesitates to talk with him but he makes every attempt to talk to her and slowly they start to talk and work together and slowly the feelings are developed.
This book is a little bit confusing for me.. There are unnecessary long paragraphs.
I want more character development because I cant understand what the Jack character is.
Sometimes I feel the dialogues and situations .
But this is the beginning of the author's career and I appreciate her works.

Taloon Beckett is a grumpy billionaire who has to save his business under a single condition. Aurora is a teacher who is attending a conference in Miami where she met Taloon and he proposed to be his wife for 6 months. Will she accept the proposal? Will this fake marriage affect her job and life? Will the feelings develop between them? How did they expose it?
This book is perfect for the lovers who love contract marriage.
I love the friends banter between Taloon and Dean. Dean is the perfect friend and he is protective towards Taloon and Dean made duplicate keys of Aurora's house for Taloon.
This is a fast paced read and you can read it in a short span of time.
You must be mature to read this book.
There are "My Wife" moments in this book.
If you love sweet but steamy romance try this one.
