This was such an easy to read, love story. The characters were so well developed and easy to like. Set around an arranged marriage that starts out with the bride to be despising her groom to be, and the very idea of her upcoming marriage. The groom to be knows his soon to be wife doesn't love him.Their marriage does come to pass, and is pretty rocky with Mikel and Kat wanting different things.

I read quite a bit of this book with tears in my eyes, because it was so well written it felt as though the people in it were real, and I was hoping they would figure things out before it was too late.

Bonds of Tradition has a nice steady flow to it, with no boring chapters to slow it down. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and didn't put it down till I was finished. Great book from start to finish

Picked up the book and could not put it down. Read all night through. Great fairy tail with a characters who has a real people feelings. Teen girl(Kat) coming to her parents country from America and trying to adjust. Meeting a guy(Mikel), who she absolutely not ready for. It's really intereating to read what happens to them. Nice romance not only for adults, but teens too.
