Review: I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

What a wonderful read!! A lovely and heartwarming love story between Eric and Layla. The best thing about the book is the issues related to ‘mixed,’ relationships. I loved how Dhara pointed out those issues and that even if you truly love each other, cultural differences have their challenges. Some things seem so natural and innocent but can gave major consequences in another Culture or religion. That's the powerful and sad thing in Eric and Layla their relationship. But like every good romantic story, love will prevail
