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.

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 MauraMy 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.

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.

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 of the series layer by layer and made Rudra the finisher (in cricketing term) of the series. I enjoyed reading it.

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.
