Repost from @all_books_great_and_small β€’ 》》》 R E V I E W γ€Šγ€Šγ€Š. . . ONCE AND FOR ALL by ANJU GATTANI @anju_gattani27 (book 2 in the WINDS OF FIRE SERIES). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I received a gifted copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via the author. Once and For All is the second book in the Winds of Fire series by Anju Gattani, and again, I couldn’t pull away from this book. We follow Sheetal in her miserable arranged marriage to Rakesh almost a decade on, from book one. Their son Yash is now eight years old and is away at boarding school - Sheetal sent him there to help protect him from the violence, poison and disfunction of life at home in the mansion, much to Rakeshes dislike. But Sheetal has much more heartache around the corner in this book. As some villains turn into victims and secrets come out into the light, we follow this brave woman on another leg of her journey to freedom. This book covered much of a few characters’ backstories, which I really enjoyed reading about, and which made so many things make sense in relation to certain characters’ behaviours and why they are like they are. I did have a feeling about one of Rakeshes’s secrets, which I was right about, but I loved how the author brought it out into the open in this instalment. The ending was not only pulsepounding but a complete shock, and I’m desperate for book 3 to continue this series. Anju Gattanis writing has gone from strength to strength so far between these two rollercoaster rides of books, and I’m so excited for book 3. . . QOTD. What book are you desperately waiting on being published? . . #book2 #windsoffire #onceandforall #anjugattani #indianuthor #selfpublishedauthor #indian #indiandramaseries #domesticabuse #triggerwarning #drama #secrets #dynasties #5starreview #billionaires #qotd #captivating #mustread #India #emotionalabuse #physicalabuse #survivor #freedom #lostlove @goodreads #pulsepounding

》》》 R E V I E W γ€Šγ€Šγ€Š. . . DYNASTIES by 》》》 R E V I E W γ€Šγ€Šγ€Š. . . DYNASTIES by ANJU GATTANI @anju_gattani27 . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I received a gifted copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via the author. Dynasties is the first book in an Indian family-saga duology. I love reading about different cultures, and this is definitely one of my favourites so far. In this book, we follow Sheetal - a twenty-two year old beauty whose family has chosen an arranged marriage for her into a wealthy prestigious family; the Dhanraj. Sheetal doesn’t want to marry Rakesh Dhanraj. She wants to marry the man she’s fallen in love with, but her family forbids this as he is from a poor family. Sheetal fights against the marriage, but her plees fall on deaf ears, and she is forced to marry Rakesh or be cast out from her family for bringing them shame. My heart broke for Sheetal and how little regard her family had for her feelings, concerns, and safety. After her horrendous wedding night, Sheetal feels lost and alone. Her husband is always busy, her mother-in-law is poisonous, and one of her sister-in-laws has it in for her. Sheetal finds a comfort in her art and a kind of love grows between her and Rakesh, but he is hiding things from her, and her suspicions rise more and more throughout the book and she finds herself incorporated within a Web of lies, deceit, sacrifices and betrayals. Who can she turn to and who can die trust. This book brought so many emotions to the surface with Anjus beautiful and compassionate storytelling. Sheetal is a strong female lead, and I loved seeing her strength, growth, and maturity at the end of this book and am jumping straight into the second book right now. This book is perfect for fans of Danielle Steel, Sidney Sheldon, Bridgerton, and the Dynasties TV show. . . . QOTD. Who is your favourite villain from a book, movie, or TV show? . . #dynasties #anjugattani #book1 #Hindu #familydrama #arrangedmarriage #traditions #culture #strongfemale #daniellesteel #qotd #myreview #India #indianwedding #indianculture #disfunctionalfamily #inlaws #inlawsfromhell #jealousy #secrets #lies #betrayal #gaslighting #unplannedpregnancy #billionaires @goodreads @amazon #indiauthor

Thanks @veena.dhandhia for #wordsofencouragement t Thanks @veena.dhandhia for #wordsofencouragement to live each day! Repost from @veena.dhandhia β€’ HOW CAN WE MAKE HAPPINESS A HABIT? 1. Every morning, writing 5 things that you are grateful for in your life. 2. Indulging in at at least 1 act of kindness everyday. 3. Regularly engaging in hobbies that bring joy. 4. Recalling one positive experience from the last 24 hours. 5. Indulging in regular self-care practice. By making these habits a part of our routine, we can train our minds to focus on the good in life, and elevate our Happiness Quotient! πŸ™‚ Which one of the above resonates with you the most? I would love to know πŸ™‚ #happiness #motivationalspeaker #selfcare #dailyhabits #gratitude #veenadhandhia #positivity #selfempowwrment #selfhealing #selfimprovement #selfawareness #selfconfidence
