The path to love for Ebun and Noah is anything but simple and smooth that is for sure but this wonderful author takes you on a captivating journey with these characters and will keep you turning page after page. I loved the way Noah and Ebun kept bumping into each other years apart and how Noah just knew right from the start that their was something so special between them. This is a new author for me and I am positive it won’t be the last time I read this authors work.

The description for this book intrigued me from the moment I read it and I knew I had to give this book a go. This was a new author to me so I really didn’t know what to expect when I started reading. The book was well written and had a great concept at its core. The description made it sound like the characters only met when they were older so I liked that I learnt this wasn’t the case.
I found myself really engaging with the characters. I loved watching their journey unfold as the book progressed. The author tells their story so well and I found the whole experience to be enjoyable. This was a great introduction to a new author and I am looking forward to discovering more.

I liked the premise of the plot for this book; however, I think that it could have been done better. Overall it just felt a little too adolescent and childish to me. I thought Akinosho’s writing itself was spectacular and I quite like how she developed her characters but there was just something that I can’t quite put my finger on about the plot that didn’t vibe with me. I understand the theory of kismet and the concept of using it for the basis of your writing is fantastic, but there was just something about this book that didn’t quite hit the mark for me. That being said, it’s not a bad book. I liked the character development and the writing is great. I’m just on the fence about it…

Themes of Kismet
By: A. Akinosho

This book was honestly really good. This focuses on two people who met the person who is your true love when you were a young child / teenager. But it isn’t enough for them to meet once, they kept meeting over and over again. But not only is there this, it has a focus on a multicultural romance. This leads to much of the story line – there are cultural differences, racism and tension stemming from all that. However, the two main characters find their way back to one another. This book does focus on the importance of clear communication. These two lost a lot of time together because of miscommunication. I definitely recommend reading this story! It is sooooo very good!

I absolutely loved it. I had a serendipity (90’s movie) feel to it, which I also loved when I was young. There were even some twists in it which I was not expecting !
It was super cute, I now plan to read more of this authors work.

The description of this book made my expectations very high. The core plot was very good, it just wasn’t executed well. Ebun & Noah’s love story could’ve been more thought out and descriptive. I felt like this book would be good for younger readers without the spice scenes but as an adult I struggled to finish.

Eebun and Noah’s story is bittersweet. They start by meeting in airports. By the third meeting, they are venturing into the world. The big challenge is that she is trying not to die.Her half-brothers are out to kill her. It’s a story with emotions, challenges and a couple of substories. It’s beautiful, sad, and a few other emotions. I found that I couldn’t put it down. I really wanted to see how it was going to end up because they had a few obstacles to overcome. It’s a book worth reading.

First, can we take a moment to fully appreciate this beautiful cover- it’s just stunning!
Themes of Kismet by A. Akinosho is a sweet, ‘meet cute’ romance that tells a tale of fated love, second (third, and fourth) chances, secrets, drama, cultural differences, challenges, danger, emotion, and more.
Our MC’s are in the hands of fate from an early age. Meeting several times over the years before finally getting the ‘message’. But, even then, the author doesn’t make it too easy for them, making them work for their chance at happiness. The story is sweet, but also interwoven with secrets, drama, angst, and danger which makes the book all the more engrossing.
I enjoyed this first read of Ms. Akinosho’s work and look forward to seeing what she does next.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, A. Akinosho!

Themes OF Kismet: A Multicultural Meet Cute Romance was a delightful read. I have not read anything from A. Akinosho before and I was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me a bit of the movie Serendipity.
They say third time’s a charm but, in this case, “fourth time’s a charm” in this little gem of a story. Our characters meet several times throughout their lives, but it is the fourth time that they won’t let anything stand in their way.
Kismet has a lot to answer for in this tale. Kismet is a finical and persistent creature and not to be trifled with when it comes to love.
Unfortunately, Noah and Ebun’s journey is not sunshine and roses. This lovely romance story is a twisty road to love. Being from different cultures plays a lot in the story but it makes for a sweet tale.
The characters are well developed and A. Akinosho writing style make this a charming tale.
It has all the feels and is filled with drama, angst, betrayal, lies, secrets, frustrations, hopes, dreams and humour but let’s not forget the danger that is lurking just around the corner.
If you like a sweet romance tale, then Themes OF Kismet is for you.

Is it Coincidence, Chance or Kismet

Noah
The first time we met, I called it Coincidence.
The second time, I called it Chance.
The third time, I called it Kismet.
I became expectant and ready for the next meet, but I wasn’t prepared for the secret.
No, I’m not letting her go. Our fate was sealed at that first meeting. She’s mine.

Kate
The first time we met, a glimpse of light shined on my dark cloud.
The second time, he rescued me, and I missed the chance to get his information.
The third time, I blew it despite mother nature’s efforts to bring us together.
The next time we meet, I won’t let him walk away but will he stay once he discovers my secrets?
