** The book had been sent by the author for an honest review and by no means the review is biased/influenced**

STAR RATING: 3.5/5

DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: A continuation to the series.

Title: Paris is the place for love and certainly the change in the location has been well covered in the title itself. Those who are a regular readers of the series shall find the chronology appropriate.

Title Rating: 4/5

Cover: This cover was a little bit on the disappointing side after Shades of Deception. Although the cover has got all the Paris essentials i.e. Love and Eiffel Tower still it didn't come out as well as it's predecessor. Hunter's description is not done justice in the cover :(

Cover Rating: 3.5/5

Characters: HUNTER: So I was so right that he's got something which makes him a control freak. He's too sensitive to admit it in the face of people but there's more to him we are still yet to see and enjoy. 

AMBER: She has the fears to fit in the POSH crowd and compares everything with her first situations which are in stark contrast to each other. It needs guts to show the past to someone who's at an entirely different notch from her.
HUNTER'S PARENTS: I had a feeling that probably his parents would disapprove of Amber but as some facts got revealed we got an insight to their characters.

Characters Rating:4/5

Review: The 4th instalment hints about Humber's past and Kayla's mother's some super evil intentions seemed like a story which had been dragged a bit. If we go by the series it belongs to, it certainly falls into place but as an individual book it would fail to grab new readers who'd want to read from book 1. The book has actually not revealed anything new besides some small facts which don't look that promising except for Kayla's parents scenario. I had expected Hunter's past to be some of a shocking incident but I'm afraid it's a childhood mishappening most certainly. There could have been more scope to the story but despite everything it belongs to the chain of events in the series.

Review Rating: 3/5

Appreciation: The story is in easy to understand language and makes a link up read to Art Model's Club.

Let Downs: I've been saying it almost every time that the story should have been longer but this time 138 pages did no justice to readers. It was equivalent to watching a filler when nothing important is going on in the story.

Final Verdict: The story has dropped in hints and have built up huge expectations for the final book. 

Would I be reading more from AMANDA MEADOWS: Definitely. I've reviewed the second and third one in the series as well and in future will review the last book if given a chance. I hope the information about the next books in series is out soon. Amanda I'm really waiting for more.

The book is available here: amazon

** The book had been sent by the author for an honest review and by no means the review is biased/influenced**

STAR RATING: 4.5/5

DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: A breathtaking tale.

Title: Now my complaint regarding the title is all gone. This is the perfect title in accordance to the story. So the title gets the thumbs up.

Title Rating: 4.5/5

Cover: This cover made me swoon with super-excitement. The deception hangs in the mask and colour combinations. 

Cover Rating: 4.5/5

Characters: HUNTER: There's something about Hunter that is still a big secret. He's definitely having some past that bothers him but he's been extremely caring and he has proved he loves and values her girl beyond everything.

AMBER: She has been a strong girl despite her fears and the problem she landed into. Her common sense and character came out properly in this particular story.

HANNAH: I knew it from the beginning she is hiding something. In fact in my last book's review I wrote this and then deleted because Kayla's plot was prominent at that time. She's a weakling due to her addictions and stupidity.

KAYLA: She was dormant in this particular book but the author has taken care to keep making us feel her presence so that we know that there's more to come.

CALEB: I'm glad this guy had his share of limelight finally and he has the perfect understanding with Hunter and is an honest buddy.

Characters Rating:4.5/5

Review: The 3rd instalment was thrilling with surprises and kept me glued to the story the entire time. The story started with Amber's life without Hunter and Hannah's desperate attempts to her evil plot. Amber has been dodging her but the story unfolds when things start getting worse. This story reveals something weird about Hunter which is kind of hard to accept.

Review Rating: 4.5/5

Appreciation: The story is perfect mix of romance, suspense, fear and the bond of friendship in an easy to understand language and length.

Let Downs: We have no hint what Kayla's next move would be. I wish the story was longer.

Final Verdict: The story is highly engaging and makes the reader to turn the next page immediately.

Would I be reading more from AMANDA MEADOWS: Definitely. I've reviewed the second one in the series as well and in future will review this entire series an I loved it so much. I hope the information about the next books in series is out soon. Amanda I'm really waiting for more.

Book Review: Portrait of Jealousy: Advance Review Copy

Author: Amanda Meadows (Her official website)

No of Pages: 100

Publication House: Yellow Rose Publishing

Date of Publication: 28th July, 2014

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Summary: (from Goodreads)

Amber Holloway has finally found some peace in her life. Her financial problems have eased and love is blossoming between her and Hunter Webb, the gorgeous fellow student with mesmerising green eyes. For once, life is good. But when Hunter accepts a three month art internship in Paris, all of Amber’s insecurities return. Kayla Ross takes full advantage of the situation and the pressure is mounting. Will Hunter be attracted to his new boss, the stunning Isabelle Lebas? Will Hunter’s absence make him realize that Amber is simply not good enough for him? Will Kayla’s jealousy and her family’s motives destroy Amber and Hunter’s relationship?

** The book had been sent by the author for an honest review and by no means the review is biased/influenced**

STAR RATING: 4/5

DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: A wonderful installment to an awesome love story.

Title: Portrait of Jealousy is a title which we might call as a little inappropriate for the story as there have been no incidents that indicate serious jealousy issues.

Title Rating: 3.5/5

Cover: The cover is certainly the eye catcher as it makes you look at it twice with the wonderful colours and design. I do missed a green bracelet on the Model's hand (the readers will have to read the story to know why am I mentioning this particular piece of jewellery). 

Cover Rating: 4/5

Characters: HUNTER: The mysterious guy who smells like a control freak, but at the same time is extremely caring and considerate. I still have a feeling that there is something else to his character which is going to be revealed in the next book.

AMBER: She's the girl who has fears, apprehensions and insecurities inculcated in her from her dark past.  

HANNAH: This girl is definitely hiding something and I'm sure she's into some trouble which she's not ready to admit.

KAYLA: The mean girl gets a new side when it is revealed she's not willing to do certain things her family wants her to do. Will she come under pressure and ruin Amber and Hunter? Phewww....we will have to wait for the third book for this...

CALEB: He's a happy go lucky fellow and I would have loved to see a bit more of him here.

Characters Rating:4/5

Review: The book deals with the insecurities of a girl when the love of her life is going away for 12 weeks and she feels trust issues creeping in the back of her mind. There are certain people around her who are conspiring against their love topped with the over caring attitude of Hunter which is a little hard to digest. The way the story unfolds adds a new dimension to the characters and the vivid descriptions are certainly enjoyable. Whatever happens in the next book, the author has certainly managed to keep us engrossed to the last page in this one and has left us hungry for more. 

Review Rating: 4.5/5

Appreciation: The easy flow, language and the mind engrossing weaving of the story entwined with the perfect blend of the characters.

Let Downs: We'd love to understand more of Hunter and see an insight to his inner feeling and thoughts. 

Final Verdict: The story is super hot and a must read by a contemporary romance lover. Highly recommended as it can be easily read in one sitting and enjoyed.

Would I be reading more from MANDA MEADOWS: Definitely. As I haven't read the first one of the series I'm going to grab a copy right away. I'm also waiting impatiently for the third in the Art Model's Club Series i.e. SHADES OF DECEPTION so that my curiosity can finally get some rest on what's going to happen next.
