To Love A Lady - Cynthia Sterling

Titled Texans Book 1

In this book the British nobility comes to the States. Or more likely a prim and proper lady crosses continents to marry her fiance, who doesn't wish to be tied down. The man is reveling in his freedom in Texas, away from his family, demands of his father and his duties. He feels that Cecily (his fiance) is another one of his father's tricks to force him back in England, one he isn't going to fall for. But we all know he is going to fall in love. And when duty calls, like all honourable men, he will do as required.

I won't disclose the whole story here, but what I will tell you is that this book is okayish. If you are a fan of historical romance and you pick up this book hoping for balls and luncheons and a whirlwind romance, then you are mistaken. Even the storyline isn't innovative or exciting. In the starting you feel that something new or interesting might happen, but it is not so. The problem isn't so much in the setting as it is in the way of writing. The author has, according to me, not yet mastered the art of keeping the reader hooked.

Overall, I will rate this book a 5/10.
If you have nothing better to read, this would do.
Ps. It is available for free on kindle.

Till next time..

Pain

What nobody told us  it never gets better it only gets older sometimes duller.  It stays with you like that ache that you are used to one that doesn't hurt anymore just exists. One fine day you woke up  not the same, an ache where there was none now a part of you follows you where you go grows as you grow older.

Reader

As the title says. I am a reader. I average  on mostly 1 book a day, sometimes even more. It's a hobby or you  can even call it an obsession. I need to read, I have to. When I have nothing else to do, guess what I do? Obviously read. It is like I crave stories, I crave an escape. I want to know, I want to feel, be something I never will. In reading I thrive. In books I live. These words are like food for my soul. And most importantly i read everything. Anything i can get my hands on. I love fiction- Jeffrey Archer being my favourite, John Grisham not too far behind and Suzanne Collins is always there. But recently I have been reading a lot of Romance and seems like I have fallen in love. With  the genre, not literally. So that being said, I feel it's  only fitting that I atleast review the books I have read and share my views with others. Happy reading everyone. Xoxo

Man VS Pants

Here I am, sitting with my lappy, sipping on cold coffee and typing away. I would like to think I am just like anybody else but with all that goes around in my life, I have learnt to be prepared for the worst. Murphy's Law is basically me. Yesterday, I had an interview at a University. Like all hardworking students, I left everything for the last day. Scrambling to put my portfolio together, I paid no heed to my clothes. It's not like I had to put a lot of effort into my attire anyway. Interview requires formals and since I have just one pair of formal clothes, the indecision goes right out of the window. To give some context on why a working professional does not own a lot of formals is because my company (one of the kindergarden companies, also known as startups) does not require formals. Our dress code is casual. They are lucky I don't go to office in sweatpants. Now that would be casual! I own one pair of black pants, one shirt and one formal coat. Sorted? Not so ...
