Repost from @a_readersparadise โ€ข Dynasties: 1 (W Repost from @a_readersparadise โ€ข 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. 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 faรงade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages. 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. The only thing I disliked about this book was that it was a little too long maybe so it could be crisper. 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. #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 โ€ข Happy Friday, fri Repost from @readingwithmere โ€ข 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?โฃ โฃ SYNOPSIS:โฃ 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.โฃ โฃ 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 faรงade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages.โฃ โฃ REVIEW:โฃ 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!โฃ โฃ 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 โ€ข ๐ƒ๐ฒ๐ง๐š๐ฌ Repost from @stacy40pages โ€ข ๐ƒ๐ฒ๐ง๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ by @anju_gattani27 Anju Gattani. Thanks to the author for the gifted copy โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโฃ โฃ 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. โฃ โฃ This is an entertaining page turner that grabs you from the beginning. I didnโ€™t love Sheetalโ€™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. Itโ€™s fast paced, entertaining, and easy to read; reminded me of some Jackie Collin novels. โฃ โฃ โ€œ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜บ.โ€โฃ โฃ Dynasties is available now and is the first book in the Winds of Fire series. โฃ โฃ Qotd: Would you marry through arranged marriage if it was culturally appropriate? I totally would. I would trust the process that goes into it. โฃ โฃ #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 โ€ข Consequential Deci Repost from @david_l_morgan โ€ข Consequential Decisions and a โญโญโญโญ #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 #ilovebooks๐Ÿ“š #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 โ€ข Book Review ๐ŸŽŠ Repost from @misswbookreviews โ€ข Book Review ๐ŸŽŠ Dynasties by @anju_gattani27 โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ 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. I am so happy this is a series, I cannot wait to read more of this author! #WindsOfFire #WindsOfFireSeries #AnjuGattani #BridgeCulturesBreakBarriers #RaigunIndia #bookstagram #dynasties . . . . . . #indianfiction #bookreview #whenfateconspires #books #bookish #bookreader #fiction #fictionstory #lovestory #romancebooks #romance #books #fictionbooks #fictional #drama #lovestorybook #bollywoodstory #fictionbook #love #blogging #blog #indianbooks #booknerd #selfempowerment

Repost from @sherylparbhooauthor โค๏ธ. Congratul Repost from @sherylparbhooauthor โค๏ธ. Congratulations to all of the nominees! I see the names of some talented authors I know and love, and it makes my heart sing to see you receive this recognition! Peter Joseph McDade IV, Robert Gwaltney, George Weinstein, Christopher Swann, Kim Conrey. But my eyes welled with tears when I saw one special name on the list of nominees for First Novel - Anjana Gattani for her novel DYNASTIES. I think I may have even squealed a little in Starbucks and attracted some "who's the cuckoo lady over there?" looks. Anju Gattani is a dear, dear friend with a heart of gold, and I only caught her friendship on the tail end of her 20-year journey to the publication of this novel. This woman persevered in getting her story into the world when weaker souls would've crumbled. Every time I whine about my WIP, I think of her and keep going. I'm so, so happy for you my friend! . . . . . . . https://www.authoroftheyear.org/2023-nominees-1. . .โ€™First Novelโ€™ category . . . . . #bookstagram #diversity #multicultural #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #series #bookworm #amwritingfiction #womensfiction #womensissues #storytime #indian #desi #multiculturalism #culture #storytimethreads #writing #book #manuscripts #read #readingnook #windsoffireseries #anjugattani #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers #dynasties #windsoffire

I love books that are set in other countries that I love books that are set in other countries that shed light on other cultures. It was interesting to learn more about the arranged marriage customs in India and all that transpires as matches are made and leading up to the marriage. This was a real page turner for me which was largely due to the interesting characters and their family dynamics. My heart broke for Sheetal time and time again and I was really invested in her from the beginning. Iโ€™m absolutely thrilled that this is the first book in a series and can hardly wait to see whatโ€™s next in Sheetalโ€™s journey. Release Date: January 11, 2023 About The Book: 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 Dhanrajโ€”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 faรงade of her abusive marriage and empowering herself to break free of all bondages. โœจReview I loved the writing style. It was descriptive enough where I felt like I was in India attending the weddings but not overly where I felt like I was only reading about the setting. The characters had great development. Following Sheetal felt like I was getting a glimpse for the expectations and roles of an household in India. You could really feel the struggle in choosing what she wanted and what was best for the family. I think she is very brave for how she chose to balance the two. I went from hating Rakesh to thinking he was changing and back again. I needed to know what happened and flew through the second half of the book. Canโ€™t wait for the next in the series.

Repost from @bookobsessionslinda โ€ข Lindaโ€™s Boo Repost from @bookobsessionslinda โ€ข Lindaโ€™s Book Obsession Reviews โ€œDynastiesโ€@anjugattani 1/23 On tour with @SuzyApprovedbooktours. Anju Gattani, the author of โ€œDynastiesโ€ has written an intriguing and captivating novel. This is the first in a series, and I look forward to reading the other books. The author vividly describes the characters, the settings, and the events. The story takes place in a more modern India, where there is a conflict between traditional and modern cultures. There also is the contrast between wealthy and poor families. Anju Gattani describes her characters as complex and complicated. There is manipulation, scheming, betrayals, secrets, and lies. Sheetal Prasad is a 22-year-old artist who has fallen in love with a young man. Her parents are traditional and have someone in mind for her to marry. Her parents want Sheetal to marry Rakesh Dhanraj, a wealthy older man. That would combine the two families. Sheetal does marry Rakesh and wonders if she should have listened to her heart. Her mother-in-law makes adjusting for Sheetal difficult, and Sheetal becomes aware of disturbing actions. When Sheetal has a son, she is faced with making decisions that will assure her sonโ€™s safety. I appreciate that the author discusses important topics, such as mental and physical abuse, addiction, and mental illness. The author also writes about honesty, communication, self-worth, hope, and love. I highly recommend this story to others. . . . . . . . #dynasties #windsoffire #bridgeculturesbreakbarriers #anjugattani #windsoffireseries #womenwritingfiction #bookstagram #diversity #multicultural #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #bookworm #amwritingfiction #womensfiction #womensissues #storytime #desi #multiculturalism #culture #storytimethreads #writing #book #read #readingnook #amwriting #bookseries
