Incognito is book two in the serendipity series. We do see some of our favorite characters from book one. Oh, how I have missed them.
I do have two suggestions before reading this book. One go in blind, trust me, you will have the best experience from his book if you do. Two, Have an open mind. I do and still had to sit back and think about the events that happened. Incognito is not for everyone; if you worry about safety, this book is not for you, and that is okay.
Two husbands, one woman, past and present. Both fighting for her love. I love a good love triangle. With them, you will always have some emotional heartbreak. This is like no other love triangle. The author initially cracked open my heart and slowly put it back together, and played with my heartstrings along the way. It's a very emotional read.
Let me tell you, all three of them at times frustrated the crap out of me, especially Zayne. As much as they frustrated me, I loved them all equally and am in awe of Ashrika's strength. She doesn’t give herself enough credit. The sex scenes are steamy and full of passion. Trent is my favorite kind of dirty talking man. Actually, Both men are swoon-worthy.
There is a ton of secrets, many twists, and turns, push/pull that I had whiplash at times. I didn’t see not one headed my way, not a one!! I love when that happens. The only reason I am not giving this book five stars is as follows felt some parts towards the end were a little over the top. But as I sit here and reflect on it. Maybe that is what needed to happen. If there was less drama, would I still enjoy the book(yes), and would it take away from the story? I believe it would. Across-the-board I have enjoyed this book, and yes, I recommend it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

FUCKKKK THIS BOOK WAS SO DAMN GOOD and I loved it so fucking much. I am sucker for steamy love triangles and this one was EVERYTHING!! Charlene did not disappoint again.
This story was so unique and beautiful and I was hooked from the very start.
I had no idea what was going to happen and who she was going to pick at the end and I swear I wanted them both. I loved Trent and Zayne so much. Gosh they were two dominant alphas...and don't even get me started on the sex scenes...ughhh... so damn hot. There was one I loved the most at 70% Jesus fucking Christ, at that scene I swear I had an orgasm without even touching myself.
And dear God, I couldn't have enough of Trent and his dirty filthy mouth. Gosh this man could make you cum just by talking dirty to you.
“Are you afraid of me?” His full lips parted slightly, and as his gaze lowered to my mouth, my stomach muscles began a slow churn. “No.” I silently congratulated my resolve to show him I wasn’t intimidated. He cocked his head to one side, rolling his tongue in a slow wet trail over his bottom lip as though he’d discovered something appetizing. “You should be.”
“Why?” His smile was feral. “Because once I fuck you, you won’t want me to leave.”
Zayne...a killer with a good heart, he was my broken hero.
"....she was the light that encased my darkness, the angel that lured my pain, turning it into pleasure with just her smile alone."
And Ashrika... I felt for her so much. She didn't has it easy having to pick one of them.
If you have no problem reading love triangles then I recommend this one with both my hands. So fucking good. Top read without a doubt.
Girl I will read anything you write as long as you keep them dirty, filthy and steamy as always. Bring on the next one.

Incognito by Charlene Namdhari
Trent Shaw has lived through love and heartache, but nothing could have prepared him for walking into the Enigma restaurant and seeing the same eyes that belonged to his dead wife. The beautiful woman, who goes by the name Ashrika, haunts him and he can’t walk away, even though he knows she now belongs to another man.
Zayne has lived a complex life but when a woman lands up almost dead on his doorstep, he saves her and gives her a new life and a new identity. For years he has been by her side, protecting her and loving her in his own way, but he has always known that somebody would eventually find her, but is he ready for the fight of his life?
Ashrika wakes up from a coma, to a life she has never known, and to a man who has become her knight in shining armor. And while she is content she knows something is missing. When the handsome Trent Shaw walks in to her restaurant she is annoyed and intrigued by his cocky and arrogant attitude, he won’t take no for an answer.
But does he have an ulterior motive?
What happens when you past and future collide?
Ms Namdhari has written an incredible emotional story with so many plot twists. The suspense will keep you glued. The grief will almost destroy you, but the steamy moments will sizzle and they sure do sizzle. This is a fantastic story that will leave you wanting more from this very talented author.

Wow!! When I first started reading Incognito, I was crushed! I thought what the heck is going on? Then as the story continued it became apparent that there were so many twists and turns that I became desperate for answers! Charlene Namdhari kept me on my toes! She had me guessing at every turn! As the story progressed, things began to heat up and I mean literally!! The chemistry was explosive!! Then things finally came to light ! Brilliantly written story!! Blown away! I was speechless! I laughed and my anxiety level was extremely high! Outstanding book! Five phenomenal stars!!

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Triggers: death, childbirth issues, grief dealing.
Honestly I should admit defeat that love triangles aren't my thing.
Neither is unbelieveable plotlines that are made to sound believeable.
Ashrika and the guy she chooses later should not have ended up together. Should have ended up with the other guy instead.
The amount of blame, accusations, unbelieveable dialogues made me just want to hurl this book somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Or Bermuda triangle. Somewhere where disappearance is common.
I just can't. Other people's reviews might be more detailed in exactly what went wrong, but I can't go through that again, explaining it all.
So even if I hated this one...sigh, I might want to try and read the third novel in the series, just for sadistic laughs, I suppose.
Sigh, anyway.
Until the next read,

YEP, IT’S OFFICIAL. I’VE BEEN “NAMDHARI’D WITH INCOGNITO! WHAT A TRULY INCREDIBLE & BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN, HEARTFELT & NAUGHTY 5 STAR READ. GAH! I CAN’T EVEN!!!!! *****
⊱✨🖤✨*❃°⊱╮ღ꧁ MY 5-STAR REVIEW ꧂ღ╭⊱°❃*✨🖤✨≺
INCOGNITO by Charlene Namdhari
It’s official. I’ve been “Namdhari’d” and I couldn’t be more pleased. I mean what the hell did I just read?
Incognito is truly an incredible, brilliantly written, heartfelt and naughty 5-STAR romance. It is decadent, dangerous and dirty as well as titillating and sizzling hot. Gah! I can’t even!
I’m giving nothing away in this review. No major spoilers. It’s based solely on my feelings and reflections of the story as well as brief highlights.
Imagine if you will, the unimaginable. Your very best day turning into the very worst day of your life. You kiss your wife, the love of your life, goodbye after complications from giving birth and she peacefully slips away in the arms of her soulmate. Then imagine 7 years later, you learn she’s alive… With no memory of who she is or who she was in her past life… and... she’s married to another man…
Imagine waking up in the hospital and not knowing who you are, not even your name and discovering someone left you for dead, years ago. Imagine having no answers to every question about who you were including your past. The knowledge that the only past that exists for you is just minutes old since your awakening. Imagine your savior offering you the security and protection you need to enable you to move forward into an unknown future, feeling safe. To be given a name. His name.
Imagine being at the right place and the right time when you discover a woman’s beaten body left for dead. Imagine you save her life and offer to protect her and that offer is accepted.
Incognito, book 2 in the Serendipity Series by the amazingly talented author, Charlene Namdhari is a BIG, BOLD AND BANG’N ROMANCE. It’s a love triangle of sorts and if what I’ve just written doesn’t reel you in, the very first chapter will…
Let me start by saying I knew this book was going to kill me, decimate my heart and I couldn’t wait to get started. And I was right. The first chapter? I bawled like a dang baby. And that was only chapter one. The only way I can describe it is that it felt so real to me. I literally felt the pain.. Not to mention I was engrossed with every page I turned from that point on.
Sometimes stories start off really slow as you get a backstory and get to know the characters. I really loved the beginning in Incognito. That first chapter packs a highly emotional punch. Most of the time I was a mixed bag of emotions while reading this book. So many feels. It was “feels galore” I tell ya. I really do love when I cry while reading a romance. That means the story has really touched me. Love and pain… you can’t have one without the other in a romance. It wouldn’t be true love otherwise. And well, ugly cries are the best. Don’t you think?
Restaurateur hottie Trent Shaw is a 33 years old, single father of 7 year old ADORABLE twins Neha and Nicky. Unexpected devastation turned his world upside down when he lost his wife Krisha 7 years ago as a result of complications of childbirth. Now he’s on his own. Believe you me, Trent is a 10+ on the naughty indulgence meter. And I wanted to indulge over and over again. He’s the king of dirty talk. Seriously, word after titillating word kept me drooling and begging for more. I couldn’t get enough of him.
He runs into a woman who looks just like his wife Krisha. He’s sure it’s her and has decided to get her back. Easy peasy right? Wrong. She doesn’t recognize him. Trent finds out she is now married to Zayne Morrone. Zayne is equally hot and irresistible but very close mouthed regarding his wife Ashrika (or Rika as he calls her) as well as his business ventures and personal affairs. Zayne covets her and is fiercely possessive, protective and loyal to her. He will not allow his wife to get hurt again.
Ashrika Morrone has suffered so much in her 28 years of her young life. She has no memory of her past and is building a life, however out of the box it is, with her husband Zayne. She has her own restaurant and is a chef. That’s all I’m telling you. The one thing I will tell you is that she suffers every day not being able to remember anything including the thought that the people who left her for dead will return to finish the job. It’s incredibly heartbreaking. There is so much I want to mention here but can’t because I really want you to experience this story without influencing you with my review.
What happens next? Will she get her memory back by being around Trent even though she knows nothing of their past together? What happens when Zayne discovers Trent is his wife’s husband. Will he stand in their way? Will Ashrika have to choose between these two formidable men? Will the dangers surrounding Ashrika’s past come back to haunt her? Will those dangers finish the job they started 7 years ago? How is it possible Trent’s wife Krisha is alive and married to another man?
What I love most about Trent, Ashrika and Zayne is that they are all vulnerable players here in their own unique ways. Each person stands to lose everything. Their vulnerabilities are tangible things.
Things are not what they appear to be. When lies, betrayals and deceptions are revealed there is no turning back the hands of time. They say the truth can set you free. That may be true. Someone will pay…. with their life. Sometimes all the bad things in life happen for a reason. Destiny has plans for these three people and seeing that destiny unfold and take place is going to taste so flipping good, I promise.
There are so many brilliant twists that you never see coming and they are some of the best twists I have ever come across. All I kept saying to myself was NO FREAKING WAY!!!!
Although this is mainly a serious romance, the author proves she has a gift with comedy. Ashrika’s inner dialogue just cracked me up and the one liners? They really had me busting a gut laughing out loud. I also need to mention that Ms. Namdhari is also the queen of writing sexy-time scenes. Wowza! Talk about H.O.T.!!! Trent has the dirtiest mouth and may I just say he is absolutely delicious and swoony!!!!
Romance novels evoke such an emotional response for me. Every single time whether it’s good or bad. And even though I know the characters in the book don’t really exist, I still get emotionally vested in every character nonetheless. It’s all part of the thrill of the entire reading experience. Trent, Ashrika and Zayne owned me. They still do.
My final thoughts... Author Charlene Namdhari never ceases to amaze me with her ability to create a beautiful, emotional and haunting love story. She penned an amazing story. When all was said and done and I turned that last page and read the very last word, I was left fully joyed and completely sated. No questions were left unanswered whatsoever. It’s been a few days since I finished this book and my heart's still beating fast. I love it when a book stays with you long after you read it. The ending was perfection. Wow just wow!
My advice to every romance reader out there who loves a romance with all the feels, characters with depth and dimension, tons of twists, a heaping load of dirty talk, some of the hottest sexy-time I’ve ever read and a storyline that will blow you away, including the ending, is to READ INCOGNITO! YEAH, IT’S THAT GOOD!

Oh boy, strap yourself in this is one hell of a ride!
Do not let a love triangle put you off reading this book or this series.... it is tasteful and amazingly written.
Steamy, Page turning, strong characters & emotional all wrapped into one amazing Book!!
Trent is struggling with the ghost of krisha when staring at him was someone who makes him feel again and maybe even hope for a future that wasn’t so hurtful.
What an emotional journey through Trent, Zayne and Ashrika’s eyes, I found myself constantly torn between Trent and Zayne with no one more deserving. Sure Trent had history but Zayne also played a huge part in Ashrika’s life and although he had a dark side when it came to Ashrika he was extremely protective and loved her.
This was a love triangle that is truly unique and twists you will not see coming!
To sum it up...... AMAZING!
More than 5 stars 🌟

To say that I was super anxious to start this book was the understatement of the year.
I was super anxious to read it because this author had been teasing me for a while...
Oh, Charlene... You tease...
Charlene Namdhari is the author of this amazing book, yes, I'm saying amazing because coming from her, I have no doubts.
Her writing is raw and wild, sweet and forbidden... Just give her a chance.
Incognito is her latest release and explores the lives of Trent, Zayne, and Ashrika. Freaking awesome names.
This is the second book from the Serendipity series.
What to really get into this story? Go read Intoxication and get ready for the journey of your life.
These three will embark on one hell of a journey. A love triangle... Can you believe that?
Each one has their troubled soul, had endured some sort of pain, and when their paths crossed...
What the hell happened? Oh my God... What a book...
What a rollercoaster of emotions this story was...
Dayum... I need a moment to catch my breath.
This book was surreal in all the good ways.
Sublime plot, very well written, super engaging, and intense.
Each chapter was even more addictive than the latest and I couldn't stop reading it.
There were times when I got interrupted that I would turn mad as hell. Why would you do that?
Do not, I repeat, do not interrupt me when I'm reading... Do you have a death wish? Lol
This story was so intense that I could feel their struggles and the love they shared.
And guys... Get a few panties on the go because of the hot scenes... Oh hell, the hot scenes are so good...
You will fall in love with the characters and you will be hooked.
This story progressed in a way that put me on my toes. One minute things were going one way and then... Bamm... It changed.
Don't take anything in life for granted... Fight for what you want and believe.
And that ending? WTF... I need more... More.
Seriously Charlene... You're trying to kill me right?
When will we get the next book?
Soon, I hope. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This story is packed full of twists, excitement and romance with characters that gave me whiplash and made me frustrated beyond belief. Best of all was the twist in this book, which was phenomenal and which I never saw coming at all. One minute this story is all angst and romance, the next all thriller and nail biting goodness which would have done a James Bond film proud.
I so enjoyed this love triangle between two gorgeous protective alpha males fighting for the love of the same women. Zayne; secretive and protective towards his wife, Ashrika, who is his wife in name only. With no memory of her past, Zayne has the upper hand until one day Trent walks into the restaurant she owns and all their lives change forever beyond imagination.
I loved Trent and his cocky sarcastic nature, his dirty sexy mouth had me drooling. Yes, Trent was a real turn on and I slowly fell in love with this man; whereas Zayne I actually felt sorry for and my heart went out to him the more the story progressed. Ashrika was a confused mixed up lady stuck in the middle of all the drama and my emotions were pulled in many directions whilst reading this story.
I really loved this author's book and the way she writes her stories. This is the second book in the Serendipity series and again she has had me totally mesmerised by this addictive storyline. I am sure there will be more excitement to come in the next instalment and I can't wait. This is an absolute must-read story which I loved.
I so enjoyed this love triangle between two gorgeous protective alpha males fighting for the love of the same women. Zayne; secretive and protective towards his wife, Ashrika, who is his wife in name only. With no memory of her past, Zayne has the upper hand until one day Trent walks into the restaurant she owns and all their lives change forever beyond imagination.
I loved Trent and his cocky sarcastic nature, his dirty sexy mouth had me drooling. Yes, Trent was a real turn on and I slowly fell in love with this man; whereas Zayne I actually felt sorry for and my heart went out to him the more the story progressed. Ashrika was a confused mixed up lady stuck in the middle of all the drama and my emotions were pulled in many directions whilst reading this story.

I discovered Charlene Namdhari when the first book in the Serendipity series, Intoxication was released. And boy, was I blown away with the book. I immediately started reading all of her previous books and fell in love with her writing as an author.
I expected Rayden's book to be next, but Charlene announced Trent's story will be the next in line.
I wasn't disappointed at all!!
Trent Shaw is a dirty talking Alpha, yet the sweetest man(swoon😍) Once he saw his wife again, nothing will stop him to get her back.
Then I met Zayne and he was the type of guy I would love to hate and hate to love. So gruff on the outside , but the love he had for Ashrika showed a different side of this Alpha.
Ashrika is a feisty woman, who seemed so lost without her memories of the past, she was rediscovering herself, but also hiding her true self and her desires, being incognito.
The selflessness of Trent and Zayne melted my heart, they put the one they both love, first.
The emotion, the chemistry, the passion and the hot, steamy scenes definitely deserves a 5 star rating.
I was hooked to this book from the get go, the plot twists was so unexpected, I didn't see it coming at all.
Charlene Namdhari is an author like no other. I love the way she writes unconventional books, which is so welcoming.

Really enjoyed this book it was a page turner for me i absolutely enjoyed the characters: Trent, Ashrika and Zayne their relationship was very interesting especially how they met. Incognito was full of suspense you get to go into not only the relationship of Trent and his wife. But you get a look into the life of Zayne and his wife Ashrika who were married in name only because she had lost her memory and didn't know who she was and Zayne was the one who found her and helped be there for her throughout the time she was in a coma.
This author gives you so much emotions in this book there was love, hate, loss, revenge, lust and plenty of twists and turns and lots of suspense. These characters got to see what it was like to love and love hard, go through a relationship built on trust and lies only to find out that there was a different reason each person came to know one another intimately. Very intense, a lot of spice and flavor. Does these three end up helping or hurting one another? Can you trust someone you really don't know? Will there be too much hurt and pain and lies to every work out for Trent, Ashrika and Zayne?

Incognito is without a doubt one of the best books I've read this year. You need to go into this book blind as its the best way to enjoy it. This love triangle was angsty, suspenseful, passion-filled and steamy and it will take you on a wild ride. I was totally engrossed from start to finish and couldn't put it down. The chemistry was at an all time high and the author did a fantastic job of making you fall in love with each of the characters. Trent, Ashrika and Zayne were all complicated, well developed characters and you will be consumed with their tale. This compelling storyline will have you frantically turning the pages and the twists will have you at the edge of your seat. The steamy scenes were scorching hott with both M/F and M/F/M scenes. This love story where nothing is as it seems was well written and layered and was my first Charlene Namdhari novel. I absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to lovers of angsty lover triangle romance.

Incognito
Zayne, Ashrika and Trent’s story.
This was an okay read but l didn’t love it and it’s not the one the author set us up with at the end of book one, Intoxication. I was confused until chapter 4 when I realised we were getting a new story with three different characters and not Rayden’s story although we did meet Trent in book one. Aside from that confusion I found it difficult to connect with our mains as they bounce back and forth between each other. There were a lot of twists and turns in this story with reveals in the last 15% a tad unbelievable for me and we’re left with two mild cliffhangers. The author lists these as standalone but they’re definitely interconnected so I do recommend you read them in order.

Wow! A HOT tamale! One crazy ride with twists around every corner that blew me away! Everything isn't as it appears to be.
Ashrika was left for dead only to wake up years later from a coma. No memory. No family member came looking for her.
Zayne found Ashrika and is her saviour. A marriage of convenience.
Trent has grieved his wife for seven years. She died at childbirth after delivering their twins. Or did she?
Yep, you got it. One woman, two husbands. Past and present. Both fighting for her love.
When secrets are revealed Ashrika's past puts her life on the line.
A hot, delicious story that will keep you intrigued with mystery, suspense, grief, lies and steamy scenes.
You won't be able to put this book down!
Since this is the second book in the series I'm going back to read the first book Intoxication!

Incognito is exactly what I expected by this author. It's tragic, fun at times, mysterious, sexy, and with a different spin. I loved this wonderful characters, with a banter that's almost witty, even though there's always darknes lurking in the background, and great relationships. If you enjoy a strong trio of characters who know how to express their sexual whims, then you will want to pick up this book. Children in the story makes it so much more emotional. And I loved that.

Incognito, the 2nd book in the Serendipity series picks up with Trents story.
This book was emotional from beginning to end.
So many plots twists and secrets it was so good.
A love triangle story with slow burn left me wanting more for the characters.
Plenty of steamy scenes and a crazy unexpected ending.

Trent's story is unexpected but SO GOOD!
Wow! This story blew me away. I was not expecting ing this for Trent's story. It is heartbreaking and gut wrenching, but it is SO GOOD. The secrets and angst of these characters bleed right off the page and into your heart.
Warning: it is a little taboo, and very different from your typical romance, but it is well worth the read.

Charlene displays remarkable skill in weaving perplexing mindf**K stories that surprise you at every turn. This series- Serendipity has been a jaw dropper up until now.
A madly in love couple- Krisha and Trent Shaw are introduced in the first chapter, on the brink of a momentous occasion in their life. Krisha is heavily pregnant with twins.
“You’re the beat of my heart...And the whisper of my soul.”
“And you’re the air in my lungs...And the light of my smile.”
What should be a beautiful joyous time, suddenly slides way down into a nightmare soon.
Next couple we meet is Arishka and Zayne Morone. Perfectly suited to each other, her vulnerability to his protective strength and I envisioned lot of love and lust in their relationship.
Until Charlene crosses all their paths!!!
I telling ya I DID NOT See THAT coming!!
Their lives are all tossed up in the air like playing cards and which character falls where and how is the most interesting scenario to watch.
There's a hot as volcano scene in the middle of the story and I legit panted with unbridled lust and passion locked in that one scene.
The hairpin turns gave me a whiplash and the villain at the end of the story had me all WTFing and OMGing!!
Suprise!!.
Nail-biting anticipation drives this story into an explosive climax leaving the readers agog and hungry for more.
5 stars for The Lies shall set you free

“Seasons come and seasons go but we will always be one heart and two souls.”
This book was a rollercoaster and I don’t really know how to word a bio for it. I was expecting the book to lead off from the first book but it didn’t with other characters in play. There was an underlying tone in this book that would potentially bring out more answers to that first cliffhanger. By the end, it has but only a few scenes with mention of Rayden and Zena. I was shocked at the plot twists towards the end of the book I didn’t see any coming. Spice was stepped up a notch in this second book which was delicious. Lastly due to circumstances I personally believe this does not have the cheating trope due to circumstances.
I will say I do prefer the first book as I didn’t connect as much with the main characters in this. Also, there was a lot of info dumping towards the end so you understood what was going on.
I’m very interested in continuing the series and how they all link together.

This story is packed full of twists, excitement and romance with characters that gave me whiplash and made me frustrated beyond belief. Best of all was the twist in this book, which was phenomenal and which I never saw coming at all. One minute this story is all angst and romance, the next all thriller and nail biting goodness which would have done a James Bond film proud.
I so enjoyed this love triangle between two gorgeous protective alpha males fighting for the love of the same women. Zayne; secretive and protective towards his wife, Ashrika, who is his wife in name only. With no memory of her past, Zayne has the upper hand until one day Trent walks into the restaurant she owns and all their lives change forever beyond imagination.
I loved Trent and his cocky sarcastic nature, his dirty sexy mouth had me drooling. Yes, Trent was a real turn on and I slowly fell in love with this man; whereas Zayne I actually felt sorry for and my heart went out to him the more the story progressed.

This is one of those books that you’ll stay up all night reading. From page one is completely sucks you in and you’ll be taken on a wild ride for of twists and turns and love and passion.
Trent, Zayne and Ashrika are all amazing characters and there is so much to learn about each of them and right up until the final page you are still learning more about them. Their connection to each other, the bonds they formed, the chemistry. It’s all beautiful and enchanting. Their journey together and as individuals had me on the edge of my seat at times and a few times my jaw was on the floor. It is intense, but there are also some super sweet scenes mixed in that made me cry and melted my heart.
This is one of those stories where it is best to go in completely blind. I loved this book and writing a review for it is difficult because I truly don’t want to spoil anything for anyone who may read this. There is some cheating, so if that is a no for you in books then this is probably not one for you.
If you’re looking for a twisted, forbidden romance then this one is for you.

WOW!!!!!!! this book made me cry. Like ugly cry. From the beginning of the book I was crying. The pain that Trent went through was so painful. Losing someone you love and the way he lost her was so emotionally. But then the story became a major cluster F*ck.
Once again Charlene brings us a love triangle that only leaves you with your mouth open and thinking WTF. There was one steamy scene that had be reading it twice.
I loved every detail of this story. I just once again feel bad for on person and that is Zayne, who was Rika's husband and protector. He sacrificed so much just to have her safe. Then Trent came in like a wrecking ball and swept her away.
get ready because this book is filled with so much suspense that is going to have you wondering how the hell did Charlene come up with this plot and have it written up so smoothly where you enjoyed each chapter. I absolutely loved it.
Now can Zayne please have his story. Haha we need more of his alpha sexiness.

Wow Charlene, I absolutely devoured this book in one setting, I couldn’t put it down it was so so good.
I loved Ashrika and Trent and the love they had for each other. And the love triangle was out of proportion. And don’t get me started on the plot, I never saw it coming and I’m still gutted over it.
Serendipity, fate you name it, it’s all there, and this is the story you have to get your hands on. It’s a perfect love story with so much emotion, passion and these hot steamy scenes that you will just melt over it.
Thank you Charlene for such a amazing beautiful story 💝💝
