ARC Review - The One That Got Away by Zee Monodee!

 

BLURB:

Another chance at love is all they need … if the past doesn’t come back to haunt them. 

With her decade-long marriage in shambles, business mastermind Lara Reddy leaves London behind and returns to Mauritius where a prestigious job awaits her. But once on the tiny Indian Ocean island, she finds more than she bargained for, like her insufferable mother, meddling aunties, gossip-mongering backstabbers, and the divorcee tag painted like a scarlet letter on her back. There’s also Eric, the first love she’d once let slip from her fingers. 

Successful paediatrician Eric Marivaux loved and lost Lara when they were teenagers. Now in his thirties, he’s worked hard to get over her and live his life … until he comes face to face with a single-again Lara, which sends every resolution he’d had about her onto the wind. 

She is of Indian origin; he is a French-Mauritian white man. Society deemed their pairing forbidden in the past. But they’re adults now, with a mind of their own & no longer under the thumbs of their formidable families. 

Will they succeed in surviving the odds this time around? 

Warning: If you love Bollywood shenanigans, over-the-top family drama, & casts of colourful characters, then you will enjoy this story of second chances that follows the trials & tribulations of the eldest of the three Hemant sisters in the exotic location of Mauritius. 

MY REVIEW:

A COLORFUL, DELIGHTFUL, BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN ROMANCE FROM ZEE MONODEE! I have VERY much enjoyed previous books by Miss Monodee, but this one gives you a powerful punch of emotion and trials and what it means to overcome it all for a love unlike ANY other!

The One That Got Away made me feel so good. There was emotional twists that make you want to tear up but there were many moments of life changing goodness with characters that just capture the heart. I fell hard for this romance. I found it unbelievably moving and with an amazing message that readers will just fall head over heels for. Its fun and sexy and downright appealing. I am IN LOVE with this new series!

The One That Got Away gets a UTTERLY ENCHANTING FIVE GLORIOUS STARS!
