Book Review - Dangle by Sutapa Bose

*SPOILER ALERT
Just like the title it was a Dangle. Amar and  Steve are projected as very virile and extremely attractive that Ipshita the globe trotter just cant resist. They are just the kind for vacation romance one reads in romances. And Akash the boy who would trigger the protective nature in everyone. It was odd when people around never noticed these three giving us readers warning it is not what it appears. And would we be surprised to realise it was all hallucination, a little yes, a little no. I tried to link the helicopter incident at first with Amar which didn’t link with, so yes I couldn’t predict what was coming up. It kept me at edge. Actually dangling until the last page. Especially the last page when it seemed all was solved and settled the book which was just a psychological suspense turned into a horror at least for me ;-) The ending did remind me of Sidney Sheldon’s Tell Me Your Dreams ending.

The locations: yes I use the word location as I am not able to replace it with anything else. Chicago, Manipur and Indonesia very colourfully and lively presented with words.
Ipshita, a self-made travel show designer and host, but with her own set of mental trauma she had been through. She is very impressive and likable. Adi her friend and confidante, first gave a brotherly feel to his presence around Ipshita. But soon we see the simmering feelings he has for Ipshita. As the story progresses we see Ipshita’s feelings for Adi growing.

It was a Dangle – Y read. GO for it!

Blurb:
Stunning, svelte, smart Ipshita is a globetrotter. She treks across the world to gather bytes for the travel chats she designs and hosts for TV channels. Despite being a self assured and sophisticated entrepreneur, Ipshita is haunted by a nameless fear. Social interaction with men unleashes psychotic turmoil inside her, making her wary of male attentions. Yet, the cold and aloof Ips is inexorably drawn to the three men she meets at different points in her journey. Her arousal to the overtures of these men catches her unawares. Well-built defenses break as her dormant sexuality go into overdrive until she discovers the horrifying truth about them…and herself. Life puzzles. Secrets tumble out. Will she be able to reclaim her life or let it dangle.

Book Review: Destined by Rubina Ramesh

Image
Why should a woman be made to choose? Why can’t she choose both, duty and Love? When the burden of pain and the fear of losing your love is bearing upon you, just the presence of someone next to you is too valuable. Esha’s struggle to be strong as she stood by her father in his battle with cancer, and the Deja vu she experiences is heart wrenching. And trust me, I was so engrossed in her pain that I was shocked at my desire to hit Ayush. Out of the blue came a marriage proposal, a contractual marriage for six months, meant to benefit her father’s treatment and to remove the complications in Rohan’s life. What they both didn’t see coming (to the delight of my two doppelgangers—the one in white with a halo on top of her head and the one in black with red horns) was the intense attraction between them. The brewing friendship, companionship, intimacy, and finally love was perfect. Not even a second of dullness. The book holds you to Esha and Rohan’s romance till the end. ...

Book Review - Her Secret Husband by Sundari Venkatraman **********THE BEACON… RED LIGHTS… ALARMS …  BIG BIG BIG Spoiler ALERT…. “What if I need you desperately?” “Do you love me or just lust after my body?” “Can’t I do both?" Phew….. I am already feeling hot. And I have just read page 24 which is just the excerpt before the novel begins in the book. (exasperated…) So what am I doing writing? Good question. Cause unlike normal book reviews (psssst I doubt my reviews usually are normal .. my eyes  rolling up lips turning at one side) here I thought, (wicked glint in my eyes) a running commentary for a change ;-) And guess it’s a surprise for all romance lovers especially Sundari Venkatraman’s avid readers. The book has been released just about an hour ago, I couldn’t help myself and I grabbed the kindle copy from amazon. (one of me in black and with two red horns shining on the head and a trident by my one shoulder and the other one of me in white with all feathe...
