I discovered this author from her first work The Toxic Deal which was a contemporary romance novel with Mafia theme. And I found her ideas interesting enough to not only keep me hooked but also look for her other works. And then came A Maze of Greed'. This novel is totally different from her first work. I was dicey at first to read a fantasy romance novel as it is not my cup of tea. But I trusted author's words and decided to give it a try. And boy, I was so right. I am glad that I took that decision or I would have missed such an amazingly structured story full of secrets and emotions. It is a rollercoaster ride for me as at some places it takes you on the highs of emotions and anticipation only to drawn you to the shallows to feel every pain and ache of every character. With more than a dozen of characters, author has successfully bonded her readers with every character. We feel their anger, we smile when they do and we feel their hurt. The vivid description of that historic setting and minute details of the backgrounds creates a whole play in front of my eyes as if I am watching a web series or a well written play. We are only 140 chapters into the story and it has just begun. But I never got a feeling that it is getting boring or slow paced. Every chapter has some moments- sweet and sour, simple and complicated. The way author has written the story is very engaging and she has done justice to every character. I am living those characters' journey and growing along them. I can see how gradually each one of them has developed and changed over the time. I would have wrote a whole essay about how I feel about this story, but I think I will keep it reserved for another review. Only thing I want to say to our dear Author is that- "DON'T STOP!" Your readers love your work and are eager to read more from you. All the best and hope to read more works from you along with this awesome story.β€οΈπŸ’•

The Alpha's Forsaken Feisty Mate

β€œI won't divorce you, Melissa. Until your last breath, you will live with me in this nameless marriage,” Radulf declared. Melissa Rosetta, the illegitimate daughter of the Alpha King and an omega servant, had no choice but to comply with her father's demand― marry Radulf De Lagrange, the fallen Alpha of the once-powerful Shadow Hunter Pack. Despite being the strongest dominant alpha, Radulf's influence and power crumbled when his father was accused of treason against the crown. As for Radulf's punishment? He was forced to marry a weak, wolf-less omega, who he had nothing but disdain for. To top it off, he was sent to the Western Frontier on his wedding day. Melissa eagerly awaited Radulf's return as she suffered through ridicule, believing that when he did, he would be happy to see how mighty his pack had become under her care. However, after four years, Radulf returned with a beautiful woman, shattering Melissa's heart. "You betrayed me while I stayed loyal to you. I don't want to live with you and watch your affair with another woman. Divorce me, Radulf, and free me from this marriage. If you don't wish to do that, then mark me,” Melissa demanded on the day of his return. β€œDivorce you, Feisty Princess? Never! If you want to get marked, then beg me or seduce me to do so,” Radulf challenged. On the day of his rut, he said, β€œMelissa, my mate, allow me to mark you.” ~~~~ Special thanks to my editor for refining the synopsis.

Will Zara fight the dangers that await or embrace her true destiny? **EXCERPT** "I... didn't want to be late for work. You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start." Snow raised an eyebrow. "Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance againstβ€”" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.
