Blurb: Is there an acid test to gauge the success of a relationship?

Is it right to carry on in an unhealthy relationship with no conjugal bliss, or look for an alternate path?

Rihana is an adventurous and free-spirited girl, until she marries Veer, an eligible bachelor who comes from a wealthy family. While they appear ‘happily married’, their strong personalities are at odds. Veer, for the most part, is insensitive to Rihana’s physical and emotional needs, straining the relationship and leaving her feeling incomplete.

Caught between the devil and the deep sea, Rihana has to now decide whether to walk out of her marriage and be a victim of society’s ridicule, or compromise on her physical needs, which for her are the foundation for a healthy marital bond.

Can they work out their differences? Will Veer give her what she desires, or push her to do something desperate and scandalous?  (Via Infibeam)

Verdict: As the blurb clearly states, this story revolves around Rihana, a girl with substance, high values and adventurous. Things were pretty much in hand until she married Veer, who on the outside was an eligible bachelor but on the inside he was as insensitive as a non-living being can be towards living ones. What happens after marriage? Will she be able to bring change in her husband or will she remain fighting till the end? Will she be free as a bird like she was before marriage?

Positives:

1) Great story line.

2) Wonderful cover.

To sum up with the review it’s a wonderful story line portraying women of today with emotions. I liked the intense love making part which has been handled carefully. A worth read.
