A halal Muslim romance book WITH a pregnancy trope? Count me in.
Thank you for this ARC 🫶🏼!!!
I had some remarks that we talked about but overall I enjoyed this book so much. Can’t wait to read it again after the editing is done to see the changes and I will definitely read more books by Asma in the future Inshallah!

I want to support Muslim authors and read their books, and feel so bad giving them low ratings but it can’t be helped.
There are so many things I could say about this book but I don’t think I’ll remember them all.
The positives:
Brother and sister relationships were written very accurately and the writing style was clear and confident.
Negatives:
Everything was telling telling telling.I can’t remember any examples of showing in the book which made it so boring to read. It made it feel like I was reading a summary of events happening and not an actual story. Like someone telling you then this happened and then this happened etc.. When Ehsan was getting religious it would have been great to read about the topics that spoke to his heart, how he felt. Instead all we got was that he listened to lectures all the time which is also very unrealistic tbh.
And that does bring me to my second point: everything is so unrealistic. You can clearly tell the author is young, and has no concept of how marriages work, how men behave and act. He didn’t kiss his wife for over two weeks after the marriage, and didn’t even attempt to consummate the marriage for over a month???? And she didn’t think anything was wrong until her sister in law got pregnant? And this is after everything is halal for them? Anyone with a bit of experience about men and marriages would know that this is not normal whatsoever.( I was right because as soon as the acknowledgment started she said she was 15 when she initially wrote it and 20 when she published). And then they already have a good healthy relationship, they understand each other fairly quickly, they don’t argue. Marriages take time and work and even if you don’t argue in the honeymoon phase it takes so much time to adjust because things are just done differently in each house but somehow this couple manages to bypass that completely.
Third (and it’s probably a build up on the second point):
The author clearly does not know how to be mean to her characters. Aida and Ehsan barely go through any difficulties. There is one but it doesn’t have much consequences. There’s no big catastrophe at the end right before the end of the book. It’s literally just smooth sailing through most of the book.
Fourth: Aida has two younger teenage brothers that are barely mentioned after she gets married.
Fifth: beginning of the book there’s so much repetition because we read about the same events from both Aida and Ehsans pov.
There’s so much more thoughts I had during the reading process and toward the end I was literally just skimming to finish, but think this will suffice for now.

Thank you for sending me the arc for an honest review .
I really tried to enjoy this book, but there were just too many things that were just a big no for me. Bear in mind I’ve only read the arc, I’ve not read the edited version so the things I had problems with might have been improved on.
First thing I feel like the characters weren’t really fleshed out. I really did want to like the characters I just felt like the only thing we knew about the FMC was that she’s a good devoted Muslim which is a good thing, and how much she wanted this job but I knew nothing else about her at all. I just could not connect with her throughout the book.Sometimes she reads as if she was a lot younger than what she actually is. I think she’s 22 I can’t remember but she reads like she’s a 14-year-old.
The, MMC I could not connect with him because we also did not know anything about him. We only knew that is the head of this architecture company that our FMC wants to work at and also he happens to be her husband to be that’s all we know about him. He he also reads like a teenager. He doesn’t read like somebody in their mid 20s who is the head of a company. So yeah I feel like the characters had potential. I really did want to like them, but they just did things that didn’t make sense to me personally, so hopefully in the edited version it will read their age, and yeah.
The full story also did have potential, but I just felt like some of the things were just unrealistic. I found myself shaking my head as some parts, for example when our FMC had an argument with her husband and he shouted at her the first thing thing she did was leave the house and goes to her parents house and then the way her parents reacted didn’t make sense.Then the following day her little brother, which I think is 17 then goes to her husband‘s house with his friend to threaten him and said something like “why do you think she has this many brother it’s so we can protect her” I just cringed so hard. Another thing was the adopting part, finding two kids on the street and then getting them passport to fly them back to your home. It doesn’t work like that so I feel like a bit more research needed to be to have been done for that part. Another example that absolutely threw me off is that when she was pregnant with twins and she had the baby one came out term one came out pre-term…that’s not how twin pregnancy work it’s either both pre-term or both term and, as a neonatal nurse that part had me giggling I can’t lie.
In my opinion, I think that a bit more research needed to have been done for this story to reach is full potential.
Hoping that all of the issues I had with the arc has been fixed in the edited version because I really mean it when I say this book does have potential to be really good. I will be reading the edited version at some point.

3.75 stars ✨
Considering it's the debut book of the author I must say it is very well written. It's halal romance in literal terms and there are a lot of cutesy, uwu moments. So if you're looking for a light read with Muslim rep this might be it for you. Can we just take a good minute to admire the pretty cover? And and and is it not convincing enough that it's smut free? That it's a cute rom com? That it can be read in one sitting? Yes I'll recommend it if you're looking for a halal read.

Thank you for providing me the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I enjoyed reading this book. The writing style was a bit hard for me to get used to but it got better. There were too many things happening at the same time that it got a little difficult to focus on the story. The characters lacked depth and there were a few things that just didn't work out for me. With a little more editing, the book could become better because it has potential to be more.
But overall it was a fun read. If you want to read a book with halal romance, I would definitely recommend this book.

This book was exactly what I needed to pull me out of my reading slump! I happened to stumble upon the author's insta post and was intrigued by the story. I immediately RAN to buy the book!
I knew nothing about M. Asma, but I was pleasantly surprised by the talent and beauty of her writing. I did notice that the story resembled a Wattpad story, and when I read the author's note at the end, I ended up being right haha. But nonetheless, I loved the book. It was the best combination of a simple yet profound story filled with such cute moments but also a lot of learning moments. I really felt like I learned a bunch of important lessons about marriage, but these lessons are also to be applied in every kind of relationship you have. It was so nice to read about a Muslim couple that is flawed, but where both parties learn to improve themselves through patience, kindness, understanding but most importantly a open mind. We often have a narrow mindset which prevents us to see anything beyond our own perspective. That kind of mindset will never allow us to improve ourselves.
I did notice that there were a lot of time jumps and the story did feel rushed. There was definitely room for improvement, but overall I loved it.
Aida was a beautiful yet very capable woman. Despite being 1 year older than me, I felt like I was Aida. Her being the oldest (the banter between Aida and Abbas about who's being older was really funny) and taking care of her little brothers and the household, made it very easy for me to resonate with her. The fact that her mother is Moroccan made it even better, because I also am a Moroccan. It was fun to read about her parents being an interracial couple. I did wish there was a little bit more delved into both cultures. I honestly was very curious about the Nigerian culture. Aida did have flaws, which I love because that makes the story even more real. But she did improve throughout the story, which I love.
Ehsan, the man of my dreams, despite his flaws, he was an amazing husband (and Aida was an amazing wife!). Despite losing his mother at a crucial age, he did not lack in showing his wife love and caring for her in the right way. I loved that he was also a very realistic character, as he did shout a lot of times at Aida, which was not necessary, but it was explained very well and he did learn from his mistakes. But the biggest thing I loved about him, was when he told Aida to communicate with him when they're having a disagreement or fight, and not to immediately run to her parents and make her problems public to everyone she sees. It creates a negative view of their marriage in people's eyes, which Ehsan explained very well. Overall they were a power couple. This sets a great example of how marriage looks like in a lot of cases and really teaches us how to learn from our mistakes, communicate with each other and improve ourselves.
Aida and Ehsan slipped seamlessly into their roles as parents of Alex/Asad and Megan/Aminah. It's not easy to adopt two siblings you know nothing about, but they did it with so much love and care, it warmed my heart. They were the cutest kids and I loved them! The graduation speech from Asad in the last chapter made me cry!! It was such a beautiful and profound speech where he honored his parents.
"To my birth parents, whose name I proudly retain, and whose blood courses through my veins, I wil forever cherish the love and memories we shared. However, if I could rewrite the narrative of my life, I would choose to bear the name and blood of the man who raised me with love, who became my true father in every sense."
>>>>THISSS!!! That was the last drop for me, I criedddd!!!! And his hug with his parents, especially his father afterwards???? I closed the book and cried for a minute. That was too much for a moment! But I loveddd it!!
M. Asma, please, if you could make a sequel with the story of grown up Asad :)

Before going any further, I have to thank the author for giving us another halal romance. There's a real scarcity of such books in the market. And halal in a true sense, keeping in mind the correct Islamic values. I am a sucker for good romantic novels and am always on the lookout for halal romance.
There's love at first sight, the spark from the first meeting, romance, serious Ehsan and daring Aida, spiced with Islamic rituals and values, perfect family of Aida, perfectly-timed twists to give mini heart attacks to readers and to top it all there are no spicy scenes at all. In short, Khadeem checks all the boxes for me.
The first part started off amazingly. The characters introduction just drew me in from the first page and I couldn't wait to read further to see what the book had in store for me. But, as the book progressed I felt the language was a little simpler and the second half was also slower for my taste. Few mundane and disconnected sequence of events could've been dropped to keep the story more engaging. I loved all the unexpected twists.
It was also refreshing to come across duas that we read on a daily basis, and words like Aqiqa, wudu, Mehr, Ishtikhara etc. The best part was that the main characters were practising muslims and were seen offering namaz because generally Muslim characters, even written by Muslim authors, are non-practising muslims

honestly, the beginning of the book got me hooked but i felt a bit dragged away in the middle. The story was great and was such a cozy, cute read. I loved how the sibling love between Aida and her brothers was portrayed, it was wholesome. The book gave me a dull vibe in the mid but the epilogue was so heart warming and sincere, tbh my eyes filled with tears. Asad and Aminah were total pookies, they made the book more fun and enthusiastic!! In my op, you should give this book a try.

Halal love for the win
This book was amazing. It made me laugh and chuckle. I loved seeing my own life and values shown in a positive and healthy light. I enjoyed seeing parts of my own culture. I loved the journeys that each character had to take.

Aida Muhammed is a young woman who originally wanted to become a gynecologist but found her true passion in architecture. She lives with her parents and three brothers. Ehsan Khadeem owns the company and works with his dad. Ehsan’s mom passed away, straining his relationship with his dad. But when Aida enters his life, his life brightens up.
This book covers many aspects of Aida’s and Ehsan’s marriage. When they first met, they got engaged, got married, had banter, adopted children, had biological children and their eldest child grade 12 graduation. My favourite part of the book would have to be when they had their twins and both were describing how they felt being parents and their overprotectiveness, it was so well written and I could feel the emotions. Also, when Aida got stabbed and went to the hospital, the doctor came out of the operating theatre and said that she didn't make it, I was shocked and was gonna cry because at the time she was pregnant and she told Ehsan in the car on the way but it was a mistake as it was someone else's family member that did not make it. That scene made me stand up in shock. Overall it's a great read, would recommend it!!

I recently read a halal Muslim romance book and really liked it. The story had love at first sight, a mix of romance with Islamic rituals and values, and fun characters like Ehsan and Aida. The twists were surprising and it was nice to read a book without any spicy scenes.
The beginning was super engaging, but the second half felt a bit slower. Even so, I enjoyed the familiar duas and Islamic terms like Aqiqa, wudu, Mehr, and Ishtikhara. It was great to see the main characters being practicing Muslims who pray regularly. Thanks, Errorz Reads, for recommending this book. I loved it and can't wait to read more from this author in the future.💗✨🦋

Review
My first halal love story since Wattpad and i cant say i regret it. It was so cute and mushy. And it made me realise some tragic facts. I never once thought abt adopted kids becoming non mahrams and ending up with a husband who doesnt pray(thats gonna break me).
However i didnt like her getting thrown so many children at once and quiting at the end? Nope! I am all for women choosing their paths but this kinda felt they were trying to romantice women leaving their career after childbirth. Losing theirselves in their marriage,husband and children.

Mashallah this book is soo good. Reading a halal romance is the most satisfying thing every readers get. This book satisfied all my expectations. The way khadeem took care of his wife and the way their relationship gone was just perfect. The second phase is a bit slow but I enjoyed it. It doesn't felt like a book, actually I lived in every pages. A must read for Indian Muslim readers.

In my opinion, The story was heartwarming, and every paragraph made me want to read more. Actually, it's the ideal office romance tale. In fact, the description of Islamic culture was rather accurate. I adore Aida and Ehsan, and they both have special qualities. Personally, I thought this book's description of the cast was excellent. "Perfect" is the best way to sum up this book. This book receives a 4.5 out of 5☺️.

I am speechless at whatever the hell this was
This might be the worst book I have ever read
I genuinely don't know how this was allowed to be published
If I could give it zero stars I would
I am literally so angry about it to the point that I am numb

recommend!
Great read to learn a lot of great lessons about marriage, controlling your temper, and what a healthy relationship looks like. I appreciate the clean halal romance aspect and how the love story was mostly aligned with keeping it appropriate.

I have a lot of thoughts. I definitely do agree with the point that I read a lot yet at the same time the characters could be fleshed out a bit more.

i absolutely loved every single second of this book 🥹🫶🏻. i started reading it just three hours ago and couldn't put it down, finished it the very same day.
everything about it, the story, the emotions, and especially their whole extended family, felt so alive and close to the heart. the kids' moments were pure warmth, the marriage part was beautifully written, and every phase felt meaningful and deeply connected.
(btw Asma, i'm not forgiving you for the mini heart attack you almost gave me in the middle 🌚😭)
this book made me smile, ache, pause, and then smile again. it's the kind of story that stays with you even after you turn the last page, not just because of the plot, but because of how real the characters feel. truly a comforting, emotional, and unforgettable read ❤️❤️
