Reluctant Romances #4
This Time, Forever
When you love someone, let them go…
Tazeen has grown up believing her life's purpose is to be the best wife and mother. But when she's unable to be a mother and is only a convenient wife at best, she decides she wants more. She wants what her friends have - love, partnership, purpose, a fulfilling life.
Jawad's entire life crumbles when Tazeen asks for a divorce. His love for his wife is more than anything he's ever known and yet, it doesn't seem to be enough.
Struggling to balance their unspoken but deep love for each other with their expectations from life, Jawad and Tazeen forget reality for a moment and step into a world of pretence. And in that world of make-believe, they find everything they've ever dreamed of...
But will that be enough? What happens when what they want isn't what people expect of them? Will they give in or will they define their own reality?

Fantastic read. Super hot romance packed with drama.♥
Andaleeb's writing has always grabbed my attention, but this took the cake.
One of the best reads in this series is this book. Full of sizzles and feels packed with emotions, love and hot encounters.
I loved Jawad and Tazeen as a couple. Although sometimes I wanted to smack Tazeen for being so hot and cold with Jawad.( I am team Jawad).
But man!
Their chemistry is blazing fore engine red and the steam quotient is flying off the charts hot. You cannot read this book halfway. Like me, you will end up pulling an all-nighter.🤪
Jawad, with his poised and sensible persona with ridiculously sexy edge is the best book husband anyone can ever ask for.
The way Andaleeb created this handsome, sexy man with such perfect qualities is amazing. Her characterization is superb.
Tazeen is a normal human being, with both positive and negative sides, and struggles with low self-esteem.
This book shows a very realistic depiction of one woman taking life by it horns.
All in all, this books is a total package of everything you need in a sensational hot romance novel.
I really enjoyed reading it.

The best book so far.
I said in my last review that these books are so close to reality you feel as if it just happened in your neighbourhood, but this is not just a book this book should be tag as Life lessons. what Jawad and Tasneem has faced is is what is faced by many couples,in reality.the problem is so easily and so smoothly expressed,The Neighbours reaction the families reaction so accurately captured many people can learn from this book that it is the communication which is more important between the couples open your mind open your heart and you can see the life Smiles at you lovely the best book I have read sofar hats off andaleeb wajid.
The best line i found in this book is.. " We need to check the water in our tanki.... Love marriages happening left right and center" Hahaha..... Im eagerly waiting for iqra's book.

This time forever by Andaleeb Wajid
If you have read the Reluctant Romances series, which is highly recommended, Starville Towers is known to you.
Tazeen is struggling to figure out her life, and has asked Jawad for a divorce... She's looking for a HEA just like her siblings , something that's missing in her marriage... my heart goes out to Tazeen and Jawad when I see their love and their struggle to express themselves.... but Tazeens bold moves, thanks to her gang of girls helps bridge the distance and u r all smiles by the time u finish the book
If u think the 1st 3 books are good, this is even better, and I m sure, the best is for the last...
Waiting for 'Lucky for you'- Iqra and Saad's story

Jawad & Tazeen, what a wonderful couple. I think I crushed on Jawad in the first book but I fell in love with him in this one. Perfect Man, oh so hot!
I was actually mad at Tazeen to ask for a divorce in the previous one, and couldn't wait to read their story.
Wonderful story, lovely narration, and hot spicy scenes. Simply blown away by this story.
Kudos to the author for maintaining the narration and the plots from all the previous books so well, the way her characters grow between books and their nosiness in each other's business is something unique to Starville Towers.

There's just something about Starville Towers. Throughout the 3 books, we've been a part of the lives of the residents living there, right from the youngsters to the busybody aunties whom we all can relate to. Everyone got their HEA and I so wanted the reticent Jawad and Tazeen to have theirs as well.
"It is the lack of communication that leads to an unhappy marriage". This holds true for Tazeen and Jawad.
Tazeen asks for a divorce from Jawad as she feels that there's something amiss in their relationship and in her life. And after seeing her siblings in love and having careers, she too wants the very same spark and a feeling of being worthwhile. Jawad is shocked and shattered as he loves her, but both being introverts, aren't able to express their feelings. It is after the realisation that they would never be in each other's life again that they start acknowledging their feelings and working on their marriage. Their rediscovering each other, forging a friendship is a joy to read and is narrated so beautifully and sensitively. Their sizzling chemistry is electrifying and in a way helps them to find their missing mojo.
At the start, I was annoyed at Tazeen for playing Jawad as per her whims and convenience, but as you get to know her, you empathize with her and why she took such a big decision. Her vulnerability and insecurity is so relatable and you start loving her. And Jawad, what do I say about him! I am totally and completely swooning over him. He is adorable, sexy, sensitive, loving and the best husband ever. In short, he is Perfection. He is the star of the story. Sorry Nazish and Yasir, but now this is my favourite in this series. One of the hottest book I've read, this one is highly recommended. Waiting for Iqra's story ❤️

Communication is the key to happiness
This Time, Forever - Reluctant Romano Book 4 by Andaleeb Wajid
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person" - Mignon McLaughlin
That's exactly what happened in Jawad and Tazeen's case, their relationship was at a phase where there is so much to explore but no verbal communication, led them to a very strange situation. Tazeen's asking for divorce was a bad hit for Jawad and their situation turns tipsy.
But when they realised their mistake n tried solving the issue, their new roles were just sparkling hot. Nobody might have thought the chemistry will do this great when they explore different roles😜😜
I loved this couple from first book and Jawad is my all time favourite in the series but after their commendable story I m more sure about it.
Andaleeb's writing always prove postive aspects of every negative situation n gives us brilliant ideas to work on our most important relationships in life. She has always set a new boundary of couple goals to achieve also a very clean clearity of her skilled outcomes.
I had the great time reading Jawad and Tazeen. Recomend this to all who love to explore different aspects of their most precious relationship.

This novel is way off the usual sweet and gentle romance that the rest of the books in the series follow. This book takes you by surprise and how!
The usually demure Tazeen, desperately in search of herself, finds hot new ways to explore her relationship with husband, Jawad. I nearly fell of my seat when I got to that particular part when they return from work! (Not spoiling it for the rest of you)
Jawad on the other hand is such a ladies’ man. They don’t make men like him in the real world anymore. He is all about love, trust, respect, and completely in awe of his wife evens when she wants to divorce him.
This novel explores a different reality in marriages where couples get complacent about expressing their love and what a struggle it can be to return from such a difficult place. It is such a wonderful read.

Oh… I just wish all the couples who are leading a dull & mundane life can draw some some inspiration from this book.
I was so hooked up to the story that read the entire story in one sitting. It’s a beautiful love story with a strong message that everything has its own importance in life. In the absence of communication, u loose beautiful moments of life & hurt the person who wants to make relationship work. Life is not at our beck & call, it’s not necessary that when we want to mend things at our convenience things will happen our way.
There is nothing extraordinary about this storyline but still there is so much to get inspired from. I can bet it will touch your heart if you’re a lover of Romance genre.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sweet and Sexy Romance
This is the story of a married couple who find themselves disconnected and have trouble finding their way back to each other. It is peppered with enough spice for people who like physical intimacy in romance, and a whole lot of contemplation about emotions and communication. You'll fall in love with the protagonists just as they did with each other.

Good one as always
What a wonderful read...thank you. Another author whose books I just love. The Indian setting and family vibes are too good. The basic line is true in most households where the couple do not speak out loud.

I loved it, every bit. Tazeen and Jawad have to learn how to communicate and they manage it in a believable fashion, with some help from friends and family, because of course. Very sweet, very sexy, little bit of heartbreak.

Loved it
Awesome as usual Andaleeb. Love your writing and storytelling. Leaves one feeling happy and warm and squishy and with a smile on our faces.

Aaaaaahhhhhhh! What was this book!!!! Oh my God oh my god oh my god! I am falling short of words! To find love after your marriage and to have a man respect you the way Jawed does. This book is especially made for boys who complain "I don't understand women". It's because you don't admire her. The respect! Oh the respect! And to understand that there is something wrong! Such an intelligent character. The sex was mind-blowing. I mean if you want to know a married couple's spiced up life and why these two look at each other the way they do,READ THIS BOOK! The flaws that Jawed always had and the way Tehzeen emerges from her cucoon. Pushed by Jawed, both the characters help each other and find each other and their love is magnifique.
