(All opinions are my own)

Moments! Moments together makes up our life worth living. There are certain moments we want to re-live and then there are some we want to forget altogether. 'Those Eight Hours with Her' is all about those special moments.

Meet Adyant Lohani (Ady), the lead singer of a successful band. He has everything he ever wished for, blessed with everything he asked for but something is still missing.

The story starts with an anxious Ady attending his daughter's music competition, who wants nothing more than his daughter winning the competition.

The author then takes us 6 years back and introduces us to Riya, a free bird, who wants to fly high without bounds, she is full of mess and looks at life with a colorful lense.

She is everything Ady doesn't want in his life but once he gets to know her he can no longer stay away from her. They spend eight hours together and Ady is no longer the same person. He starts seeing life from a different perspective.

But then Riya disappears and we are brought back to the present, where Ady meets Riya once again but she is not the same person he fell in love with. There is a lot going on in the book all at once. Why did Riya leave? What happened to her? And what happened to both of them in 6 years? curious? Then what are you waiting for? Just go and grab a copy of your own!

The book is a perfect blend of romance and suspense. Fate and destiny also plays an important role in this story. The author has beautifully narrated the flashbacks and there is no confusion between the past and present. Feelings and emotions are quite well portrayed. The storyline is gripping and keeps the reader glued to the book. Both main and supporting characters are well developed and emit a life-like persona. The language used is simple and easy to understand, perfect for the beginners. All in all, it was an interesting read and I'd definitely like to read more books by the author.

Instead of focusing on making your tomorrow good, make your today even better.

REVIEW: Broken Knight by L.J. Shen

Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending. Luna Rexroth is everyone’s favorite wallflower. Sweet. Caring. Charitable. Quiet. Fake. Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language. Who taught her how to laugh. To live. To love. Knight Cole is everyone’s favorite football hero. Gorgeous. Athletic. Rugged. Popular. Liar. This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna. But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore. When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes. Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy TITLE- Broken Knight AUTHOR- L.J. Shen FORMAT- E
