Repost from @always_reading1 • Dynasties by Anju Repost from @always_reading1 • Dynasties by Anju Gattani Thank you so much @suzyapprovedbooktours for sending me a copy and including me in your tour! Sheetal Prasad, a glamorous, twenty-two-year-old oil painter, is the envy of Raigun, India. Her homeland, now modern and global, at last allows women to marry for love, and Sheetal is determined to wed her college sweetheart. Her parents, however, insist she fulfill her familial duty, preserve their honor, and marry millionaire Rakesh Dhanraj—or be cast out forever. The alliance of the Prasad and Dhanraj families drowns Sheetal in a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal. In her plan to sever this marriage and escape, Sheetal uncovers numerous devastating secrets that threaten to bring down the two family dynasties. When the Dhanraj's tyranny threatens her son, Sheetal has no choice but to protect the boy at all costs, burning down the façade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages. - This was such a beautifully written book full of culture and traditions. I enjoyed all the family drama in this and the strong female characters. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series! What was the last book you read with family drama? ❓ question: What’s your favorite family recipe? #Dynasties #WindsOfFire #WindsOfFireSeries #AnjuGattani #BridgeCulturesBreakBarriers #bookreview #bookish #booksta #bookcommunity #bookblogger #bookchallenge #bookreviewer #booklover#bookcommunity #bookaddict #booknerd #bookaholic #bookpile #bookphotographer #boomtour #netgalleyreviewer #buddyread #readingislife #beautifulbooks #bookworms #bookshelves #justread #bookishphotography
Repost from @our_readingjourney • 📚 BOOK REVI Repost from @our_readingjourney • 📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚 DYNASTIES - @anju_gattani27 4⭐ PLOT - Sheetal Prasad is forced to marry Rakesh Dhanraj. Both the rich and influential Raigun families have their motives to get them married and Sheetal has to let go of her love for her college sweetheart and try to fulfill her familial duty. But Sheetal soon uncovers a lot of lies, secrets not only at Dhanraj but also at her parents place..she wants to escape her abusive marriage but it will expose both the families. But when she is pregnant and finds herself alone she will have to empower herself to break free of all bondages . MY THOUGHTS - Well first I had an arranged marriage though we did have quite a bit of courtship period - the essence of trying to adjust, not to be too assertive is always there. In Dynasties we see just that where Sheetal is asked repeatedly to keep her head down, smile and go about her duties. She is obviously drawn to her husband but he himself is flawed, living with his own nightmare and can't help himself but behave badly with Sheetal. Anjus writing will completely immerse you in the story and you will find it difficult to put down. The norms of arranged marriage, dowry (though not demanded) but given wilfully by parents , staying away from family business is still present may not be in metros but definitely in interiors of India and all this finds the woman in question without support and all alone. Interested in reading what happens further in the story in book 2. The review copy was provided by the author in exchange for my honest review. QOTD - If married, how long was your courtship / dating period? / What are you currently reading? #dynasties #bookreader #bookreview #bookreviewer #bookrecommendation #arrangedmarriage #familydrama #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #indianbookstagram #biblophile #indianbookstagrammer #indianbookblogger #booksbooksbooks #booklover #booknerd #bookishmom #bookishcommunity #mommyreads #paperback #ebook #bookish #bookishladiesclub #our_readingjourney #anjugattani #windsoffireseries #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers

Repost from @rochellebweinstein • A double gorge Repost from @rochellebweinstein • A double gorgeous cover day!! Thrilled to share the cover for @anju_gattani27 new book in the Winds Of Fire Series: ONCE AND FOR ALL. Like many of us authors, Anju had a tough road to publication. Her story (both real and fictional) is of a woman who has fought hard for the things she believes in. It's my pleasure to be able to support her and the book that releases January 2024. @womenwriterswomensbooks calls it: "Downton Abbey-style, but set in India!" Thank you for the introduction @chicaderock. Wishing you literay bliss, Anju.

Repost from @a_readersparadise • Dynasties: 1 (W Repost from @a_readersparadise • Dynasties: 1 (Winds of Fire) is a nice book written by Anju Gattani. This book takes you on a journey filled with drama while talking about some social evils. I had a nice time while reading this book. The author has done quite a nice job writing the dramatic elements and the characters speaking of which I hated most of the characters but I guess that was the point of most of them as through this characters and the story the author tries to show the dark reality of a lot of the arranged marriage situation especially in the elite rich circles however this is prevalent throughout the society at large. I'll conclude by recommending this book to everyone if you like books that are filled with drama and at the same time call out a few social evils then you should give this one a read. . “Downton Abbey-like saga but set in India!”—BooksByWomen. org “With stories that take us into the culture and dynasties of India, Gattani introduces us to one powerful woman’s journey against all odds.”—Patti Callahan Henry, NYT Bestselling author, The Secret Book Of Flora Lea “A compulsive read!”—Barbara Claypole White, author of The Perfect Son & The Promise Between Us #readersparadise #bookstagram #booklove #booklover #booklovers #bookloversunite #flatlay #books #flatlayoftheday #flatlaylove #reading #candles #soycandles #candle #readmore #candlelovers #candlesofinstagram #aestheticedit #aestheticstyle #edits #bibliophile #books #betterhalfofbookstagram #booklove #mybookstaengagement #reading #dynasties #windsoffireseries #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers #anjugattani #windsoffire
Repost from @readingwithmere • Happy Friday, fri Repost from @readingwithmere • Happy Friday, friends! I love books that encompass a little bit of everything and that's what today's book DYNASTIES does so well. And who doesn't love a good family saga?⁣ ⁣ SYNOPSIS:⁣ Sheetal Prasad, a glamorous, twenty-two-year-old oil painter, is the envy of Raigun, India. Her homeland, now modern and global, at last allows women to marry for love, and Sheetal is determined to wed her college sweetheart. Her parents, however, insist she fulfill her familial duty, preserve their honor, and marry millionaire Rakesh Dhanraj-or be cast out forever.⁣ ⁣ The alliance of the Prasad and Dhanraj families drowns Sheetal in a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal. In her plan to sever this marriage and escape, Sheetal uncovers numerous devastating secrets that threaten to bring down the two family dynasties. When the Dhanraj's tyranny threatens her son, Sheetal has no choice but to protect the boy at all costs, burning down the façade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages.⁣ ⁣ REVIEW:⁣ I really enjoyed reading this book. The author has real talent for writing and creating such a captivating story. I loved being immersed in the elite culture in India and the way the author addressed different lifestyles. Sheetal is one of those characters that you are rooting for and feeling all the emotions along the ride of her journey. I'm excited this book is the first in the series because if the next one is as good as this one then we are in for a treat!⁣ ⁣ Thank you to @suzyapprovedbooktours and @anju_gattani27 for my copy of this book! #dynasties #suzyapprovedbooktours #familysaga #windsoffireseries #windsoffire #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers #indianfiction #bookreview #whenfateconspires #books #bookish #bookreader #fiction #fictionstory #lovestory #romancebooks #romance #books #fictionbooks #fictional #drama #lovestorybook #bollywoodstory #fictionbook #love #blogging #blog #indianbooks
Repost from @stacy40pages • 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐬 Repost from @stacy40pages • 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 by @anju_gattani27 Anju Gattani. Thanks to the author for the gifted copy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣ ⁣ Sheetal is pressured by family duty to marry into a wealthy family. She ignores the love she feels for her college sweetheart and instead marries Rakesh. As she gets to know Rakesh and his family, she uncovers secrets. ⁣ ⁣ This is an entertaining page turner that grabs you from the beginning. I didn’t love Sheetal’s character in the beginning but she grew on me. I loved the Indian culture and getting to know the dynamics. The culture is a huge component of the book. It’s fast paced, entertaining, and easy to read; reminded me of some Jackie Collin novels. ⁣ ⁣ “𝘉𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺.”⁣ ⁣ Dynasties is available now and is the first book in the Winds of Fire series. ⁣ ⁣ Qotd: Would you marry through arranged marriage if it was culturally appropriate? I totally would. I would trust the process that goes into it. ⁣ ⁣ #dynasties #dynastiesbook #anjugattani #indianbooks #indianculturebook #bookseries #booksofinstagram #bookclub #readingtime #bookphoto #bookseriesaddict #firstbookinaseries #iread #authorsofinstagram #authorsofig #booksarelove #momswhoread #bookblog #goodreads #bookblogging #booksofinsta #booknerd #readabook #getlit #bookrecommendations #iread #booksaremagic #idratherbereading #currentreads

Repost from @david_l_morgan • Consequential Deci Repost from @david_l_morgan • Consequential Decisions and a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #review . . Available Now . . Arranged marriage or following your heart, the dilemma of modern Indian women living in a tradition loving country. Sheetal finds herself in this situation, in love with one while arranged and committed to another. One offers an unknown future as he comes from a lower caste. The other offers a life of opulence and stability but it comes with the expectations of living up to the new family's status. Choosing one will make her an outcast to her community and bring shame to her family. Choosing the other brings unknown challenges but keeps her societal status intact. Which one will she choose? Which one would you? As well as being very entertaining, this one gave me insights into traditional Indian culture. Having your spouse chosen for you by your parents is frightening. The author's exploration of this subject, primarily from Sheetal's point of view is thorough and empathetic. It's also very well written. Although the story is fiction I felt as though it could be biographical. The situations Sheetal finds herself in are heartbreaking and at times life shattering but ultimately the story is one of perseverance and hope. This is the first book of a series and I'm excited to see where Sheetal's story goes from here. Thank you to @anju_gattani27 and @suzyapprovedbooktours for the gifted copy and including new on this tour. . . #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #bibliophiles #ilovereading #ilovebooks📚 #fiction #dynastiesbook #anjugattani #suzyapprovedbooktours . . . . . . . . . #indianfiction #bookreview #whenfateconspires #books #bookish #bookreader #fiction #fictionstory #lovestory #romancebooks #romance #books #fictionbooks #fictional #drama #dynasties #windsoffire #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers

Repost from @misswbookreviews • Book Review 🎊 Repost from @misswbookreviews • Book Review 🎊 Dynasties by @anju_gattani27 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dynasties is the first book in the Winds of Fire series by Anju Gattani. This family saga is a look into elite, rich and powerful Indian culture and the family dynamic. Sheetal is a complex, dynamic character that brought the story to life. I loved following her story with decisions that she had to make. The beautiful setting of Bollywood is one that I am a HUGE fan of . The relationships and the family dynamics were so well written and rich with details.

When a reader shares the love of your debut!!Anju Gattani your page won’t let me comment so I’m tagging you in my Facebook 😊Wow what a rollercoaster of complicated family drama. An arranged marriage leads to a situations that were an uphill battle and consequences that were swept under the rug. The family dynamics were unbelievably tangled and often difficult to deal with because of social status and how people perceive them. I was so glued to the book and my mouth dropped open often. I kept in contact with the author about my thoughts and questions I had and she was so gracious to me. I can’t wait for book 2. I highly recommend reading this book. ... See MoreSee Less
