Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance (A Surviving Love Novel Book 1) by Brinda Berry – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance (A Surviving Love Novel Book 1)Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance by Brinda Berry
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A contemporary romance which had me hooked from the beginning to the very last page. Written from both of the main characters, Malerie and Ace’s point of view this was an enjoyable and engaging read. Malerie has unluckily faced death twice but has luckily also escaped death twice. Once at the age of seven when she was left an orphan but was the only survivor of a bombing and then on her eighteenth birthday when her much loved guardian was killed by a crazed gunman. Now someone is out to kill Malerie and she suspects that there may be more to her previous survival than just luck. Bodyguard Ace is being paid to guard Malerie however she soon turns out to be more than just another client to him and he vows to protect her. Ace is surprised when the feisty girl he has to protect actually ignites feelings in him that he did not know existed but he soon fears that although he will do anything to protect her he might loose his heart to her. Malerie knows that although Ace is her first love he might also be her last if the unknown person out to kill her succeeds.

I loved Malerie and Ace as they were both well defined characters who were realistic and relatable. The chemistry between them really came across and I liked how their relationship developed throughout the story. The author has a way of making the reader care about the characters through her detailed descriptions of both them and their feelings. The storyline flowed easily and the plot has plenty of action and suspense in it along with the romance. I found this to be a fairly fast paced story and the narrative took me on an emotional rollercoaster as I found myself immersed in Malerie and Ace’s world. A five star read and one which I found hard to put down!

This book is definately something else. Malerie is trying to figure out why bad things keep happening to those around her and now that she is 18 and a legal adult, she doesn’t know what to do. She has been protected and coddled since she was a little girl and now, what happens now.
Ace has been hired to increase the security and help protect the naive Malerie. This job is well paying but proving to be a mystery and a dangerous one at that.
This book will keep you guessing and wondering what is going on.
Good read.

I loved reading the book The Opposite of Addie: A Novel (Friendship & Secrets) by Julie C. Gardner. It is a story that pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I loved the characters of Addie and Jake. The story tells the tale of two people who have secrets that are revealed. Will those secrets keep them apart forever? What does the future hold for Addie and Jake? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Addie and Jake with each chapter that I read. This is a story that has heartbreaking as well as heartwarming moments. Some moments touched my heart and I found myself thinking about the book even after I had finished the final page. The story is brilliantly written, and the author does a wonderful job in making the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining book that will have you hooked from the beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kismet Heart by Brinda Berry a fantastic five-star read. This is number one in the Surviving Love series and I can’t wait to survive more. Malerie could have come across so differently, but Brinda Berry made her feel so real, you could feel her pain, her confusion and her loss. But despite all that she has this way about her that sucks you in and shows you her strength and spark, shows you that she is a woman not the child that tragedy happened too, she may enjoy her own company and shy away from others but who wouldn’t give her circumstances, but will she be able to open up to the right people? Ace brings something extra to the story as well, he shows us a different side of strength and adds more mystery to the story, this was a great romance and one that will keep you on your toes.

This story about Sidney and Quinlan starts with a chance meeting. Sidney could have never guessed the tall, handsome man she met on the train one night would turn out to be her new boss the next day. Can their chance meeting be for the best, could it turn into something more? How can they manage to keep their attraction a secret from their coworkers? Do they really have what it takes to make it through a rough situation from Quinlan’s past? All these things and more will hook you into the story from the beginning. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. If the rest of her books are this good, I’ll be sure to check out her other books.

What happens when you have a chance of a promotion but in a flash it’s gone. Of course get drunk and have a conversation with a stranger on a train, what could go wrong????

Sidney is expecting the editor job, when her boss decides to retire the job becomes available but when a shock announcement rocks her world, she wonders if life is purposely against her. Until she meets a stranger on a train and pours her heart out to him, they only thing will it be a chance meeting or something more.

Quinn has been given the editor job within a World Tripping Magazine and maybe this is the role he has been looking for, until on his first day in walks the girl who he has not been able to stop thinking about since the chance meeting on the train, the only problem is he is the one is bitter towards for taking her job.

As the story continues through you get to see the relationship between they and what can blossom into beautiful partnership. The story is well developed story with brilliantly characters. I love the way the story takes its turns and from enemy to lovers is always a great story.

The chemistry builds and will have you turning the page to see what happens, although it is a bit predictable in the narrative it is a great story.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders

I was intrigued when I read the synopsis. There was something that grabbed me and I’m glad it did.  Ms. Anders is a new to me author, so I wasn’t sure what her writing style was and was happy from the very beginning with her style.   I tend to lean towards the funny and sarcastic characters and Sydney was definitely one of those.

I loved the way Sydney and Quinlan meet, there is something charming and sort of realistic about the scenario.  I think of all of the supporting characters Kady was my favorite.   I mean who could not love someone who is in the Marvel.

I look forward to browsing through Ms. Anders other books and reading more by her.  If any are half as enjoyable as this one i know I will enjoy every moment

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders was a wonderfully sexy and fun contemporary romance. I always enjoy Ms. Ander’s books, and this one was no different- it is definitely one of my favourite reads by her.
From an unexpected encounter on a train, as Sydney vented about her job to a handsome stranger- Sydney and Quinn could have never predicted how their worlds were about to collide. Secret and steam. This is an office romance with all ingredients to make a fun read.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Anders in the near future…

Thank you, Tarrah Anders!

I loved this book. This is a romance story that is written with a ton of heart and soul. I loved being pulled into the story right from the beginning. The characters made the story engaging as they bring the story to life. This was an emotional story that took me on a roller coaster ride that was hard to put down. I had no problems connecting to the characters that had me turning pages fast. This is a story about a single mother named Addie. Twelve years ago she left Jake’s life with a secret and now the past has come to the present. Jake never knew he had a daughter but with determination he wants to win Addie back. His one problem is that he has a secret that will keep them apart if she knew. What will Addie do? Will she run again or will she give Jake a chance? I loved watching the growth in this story as well as the trust building. They made such great characters that they made the story easy to read and feel realistic. I highly recommend this book.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders is a fun and romantic story perfect for losing yourself in. It is a quick and easy read, exactly what is needed for that lazy afternoon.
I thought the story overall was a fun and entertaining one, if a tad predictable at times. However I thought the characters were strong and well written which made up for that and meant I fully enjoyed the book regardless.
I always enjoy this authors writing style and how each book has a different feel from the last. They are all distinctive and yet have the same common feature about them – the fact that they are all great!! I would definitely suggest you give this author a try and this would be a great book to start with.

What a refreshing romance. I love that this couple built their relationship on trust, humor and communication. Quinn and his secret almost cost him the love of his life. He has fallen hard after meeting Sidney, the drunk lady from the train. Little did she know her new boss was who she poured her unhappiness with her job to. What a sweet funny romance.

Tarrah Anders wrote this fast paced romance. Her story built this relationship that became true to life. We all want to find that one special person to trust, In this story you will find hope. The characters are so familiar, ones you would friend if you had the chance. I fell in love with them all. I will definitely be reading more from Tarrah Anders! Well done Tarrah Anders, well done!

Love Surreptitiously is a great contemporary romance by Tarrah Anders. I had previously read a few of Tarrah Anders novels and had enjoyed them so was looking forward to more great writing, characters and storyline in this book. I’m glad to say that I got it. This is a really great read.
When a chance meeting on a train on the way home from work sparks interest from both sides, Sidney Matthews and Quinlan Montgomery both brush it aside as they will likely never see each other again. So what happens when they both go to work the next day and discover that Quinlan (Quinn) is Sidney’s new boss?
I thoroughly enjoyed Quinn and Sidney’s story. Their clandestine meetings to try and keep their growing relationship a secret from her friends and colleagues at work. There are some funny moments when they are almost caught in a compromising position.
This book is not all fun and games though, as the path to true love never runs smoothly. Will the secret that Quinn is keeping be just too much for Sidney to deal with? What will happen at work when their secret finally gets out? I definitely recommend that you read this book to get the answers. You will not be disappointed!

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance (A Surviving Love Novel Book 1) by Brinda Berry is a contemporary romance suspense story that will often have you laughing out loud. It is a wonderful tale of tragedy and loss, pain and suffering and love but there is also healing and humour. It is a story that will stay with you after you have finished and giving you all the feels. Brinda has done a great job of giving us something a little different to the normal contemporary romance that is engaging and interesting. The story is told in dual POV which I love as it enriches the story having more than one perspective. Tragedy strikes not once but twice with our leading lady and completely changes her life forever.

Love Surreptitiously by Tarrah Anders was a great 5 star read.
I was pulled in right from the start.

I loved Sydney right from the start. She doesn’t get great news at her job and she decides to indulge in some alcohol before heading home. Her train ride home had me LOL. I loved it.
This is where she meets a hot good smelling man that makes sure she gets home safely.

The next morning she and her roommate dub him as “Prince Charming”. When she gets to work they get an email announcing a new boss and this is where it gets even more fun and interesting. Her new boss is “Prince Charming”.

Quinn was pleasantly surprised to see the girl from the train again. Can he convince Sydney to go out with him? What will happen when secrets come out?

Overall I really enjoyed this read and LOL several times. I loved Sydney and her verbal diarrhea and Quinn was great and perfect for her. All of the secondary characters add a great element to the story. If you’re looking for a great taboo office romance with humor than 1-click and get started today. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Oh my goodness, this is one you don’t want to miss. Tarrah Anders is always one of my one-click no questions asked authors for a good romance, but this one exceeded all the expectations. I found myself laughing and pining the whole way through. This book has been very aptly named and the whole love surreptitiously is a perfect idea for a fabulous romance read. We meet Sidney as she is drowning her sorrows over a botched promotional interview. The stranger she chooses to confide in on the train while she is drunk just so happens to turn out to be her new boss. A smexy and well intriguing man too, he snags her attention but she controls the situation. Secrets will attempt to kill the romance before it gets started but we get to follow along on all the perfect and gripping details. I love how I felt as if these two were right there with me and acting out this story before my very eyes. I can’t wait to see what else we will get from Tarrah Anders!

Kismet Heart: A Protector Romance by Brinda Berry is the first book in the Surviving Love series. It was my first time reading a book written by this author, but I will definitely look out for more, particularly in this series, in the future.

The book follows Malerie. This eighteen year old girl has been through much more than most people would go through in a lifetime. After surviving the bombing that left her as an orphan Malerie lives a somewhat reclusive life, shying away from others in favour of the safety of her home.
When her guardian is killed in front of her during a birthday meal Malerie knows her life has changed again. One of her uncle’s last tasks was to arrange a security companion for Malerie, in the hope of helping her live her life more fully.

Ace was hired to protect Malerie, and the spark between them is pretty much instantaneous. Whilst running from whoever has their sights set on Malerie the two form a strong bond and it’s much more than friendship.
This story is fast paced and action packed. I love the bond between Malerie and Ace. The author does a wonderful job at filling the reader in on the back story and the need-to-know information, my only complaint is that I don’t feel as though I got to know the characters very well, I know all the facts about them…but there’s so much more to learn.

I loved reading the book The Magic of Christmas by Christi Barth. It is a holiday romance story that is wonderful to read. I loved the characters of Rowan West and Jeremy Kincannon. They are both up for the same promotion. Sent to a Christmas-themed park to help with their advertising. What does the future hold for Rowan and Jeremy? Read this book to find out. Rowan is a woman who is driven to succeed in her job. Sometimes this includes shutting out of everything else. Will she have the courage to have some fun? Jeremy is handsome, charming, and kind. What will happen when his feelings for Rowan start to change? I grew to care about Rowan and Jeremy with each chapter that I read. I enjoyed the bantering back and forth between them. This is a perfect holiday story that you won’t want to put down until the final page. I also enjoyed the additional characters that are introduced and interact with Jeremy and Rowan. Don’t miss out on reading this story. I highly recommend it.

Sidney is the same at times. Quite unbelieving then she does a similar thing….secrets only break things. Gah! Idiots both of them. But they go together so beautifully. I also enjoyed her friends and especially her serial Tinder user and roomie. She added some crazy times to the story.

After Sidney’s chance for a promotion goes down the drain, she does what anyone in her situation would do…she drowns her sorrows and lets her fellow train passengers become her sounding board for what is going wrong in her world. One stranger on that train is Quinlan. He just moved to the city for a new job opportunity and finds himself entranced by the drunk woman. However, they go their separate ways. But fate brings them back together…when Quinn becomes Sidney’s boss (and the one who got the promotion she wanted). Their relationship is forbidden…is it worth the risk to keep it a secret? And Quinn has secrets of his own that could end their relationship…which is difficult for a woman like Sidney to accept since she demands honesty.

I loved the interactions between Sidney and Quinn. Sidney is a strong female lead character that doesn’t let people walk all over her. She demands answers and doesn’t stop until she gets them. There were moments that made me laugh and some that made me tear up. This was a quick read that I thoroughly enjoyed!
