The Married Man by K.L. Slater
"This entire book was a convoluted disaster.

It needed a bloody good edit. It was so repetitive. Rich went missing then he was declared presumed dead but his body was never found. The phrase “legally declared as presumed dead” was used at least 700 ti" Read more of this review »

“❝ ”
Thaier Alhusain, The Syrian Dandelion

“A good friend is one that transforms you into a better version of yourself; one that you didn’t know existed until you met them. They’d spice you up with sea salt and caramel if you were a plain vanilla ice cream and sweeten you up with honey if you were a boring chilli dip.”
Thaier Alhusain, The Syrian Dandelion

“A weapon didn’t act on its own; it wasn’t the tool that caused harm but the hand that guided it. It was the intention behind the act that determined whether it would destroy or protect. And that, Shamil realised, was a choice he had to make.”
Thaier Alhusain, The Syrian Dandelion
