OTHERNESS: SOULS OF BROWN WOMEN

by

De.B. Dubois

Blurb

Who is the brown woman? How does she live defined almost solely by her skin colour and all the history it carries? How do we carry racism deep within us even when we think we don't? These are questions that require deep thought and reflection, and that's what Otherness encourages us to do. In a world increasingly divided along the lines of colour, despite its apparent modernity, here's a hard look at the realities that lurk within us, both as individuals and as a society.

Spotlight and Review of The Royal Roommate by PG Van

THE ROYAL ROOMMATE

by

P.G.Van

Blurb

My purpose in life is to protect you… 

Sid is Army strong and sinfully sexy. He is tasked to investigate a woman suspected of having connections with a rebel group. The style of investigation was not his choice, and he is asked to move in as the roommate of the person of interest, Amy. 

Amy was thrilled to start her internship in San Francisco and wasn’t expecting a man with rock-solid abs as her roommate. The moment she laid eyes on him, she knew he was bad news. 

The attraction was undeniable and they both wondered how long they could hold on to their resolve. Sid didn’t want to sleep with a suspect even if she was wildly beautiful and sexy. Amy wasn’t interested in a fling. 

Just when Sid is about close his investigation and declare Amy’s innocence, he finds out something about her that changes everything. She becomes the most important person in his life.

My Review:

The Royal Roommate is a story about a young girl, Amy who has ambitions. Those goals are not for herself but to reach out and help others in need. She is interning as an assistant in a law firm in SFO, and the story starts with her driving to that city. She is portrayed as a carefree and independent person yet cautious of her identity thanks to her dad's strict guidelines. Amidst all the discretion there comes a twist to the story. She gets a male roommate in her SFO apartment who happens to be a secret agent trying to investigate her links with a terrorist group. His looks were enough to get her hooked on him. There is lust. Lots of it. Thus, begins the tale of romance, and a thriller as these two knock each other's breath out not only in the bed but also trying to escape from antagonists that are after the life of Amy. 

Secrets are revealed that keeps the reader on the edge as Sid tries to keep his lady love safe and protect her from slaughter and take her to the throne that was empty for decades. 

What I missed out was the charm between Amy and Sid. There were lust and lots of intimate scenes, but I missed out on the chemistry between the two. They had nothing in common per se. Sid always wanted to protect her while she enjoyed being in his strong arms.....

What I liked: The twists and the turns with regards to the plot as Amy being declared a royal princess. The research that went into this drama that made the reader also go on a roller coaster ride. The emotions of Amy before and after she was declared a princess. The knitting of a kingdom Edinridge from a chaotic place to a peaceful and happily ever after. 

I would rate it 4 stars and would recommend it anyone who enjoys a good well-researched thriller with sensual romance!

About the author

Sundari Venkatraman is an indie author who has 16 titles to her name, all Top 100 Bestsellers on Amazon India, Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and Amazon Australia in both romance as well as Asian Drama categories. Her latest hot romances have all been on #1Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.

Even as a kid, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome as she grew up reading all the fairy tales she could lay her hands on, Phantom comics, Mandrake comics and the like. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy end. 

Soon, into her teens, Sundari switched her attention from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to a local hero and heroine. Her imagination took flight and she always lived in a rosy cocoon of romance over the years. 

Then came the writing – a true bolt out of the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.
