Book: The Royal Roommate (Kindle
edition)
Author: PG Van
Life
is unpredictable. We plan many things but not everything happens as planned.
Infact, most of the times life has surprises in store for us. The key is to
play along and play it well.
This is
what you will find the protagonist -Amy doing in this book. Accepting the
twists and turns life throws at her and running along with the stride. This the
first book of PG Van that I have had a chance to read, and hence I didn’t have
any set expectations. Good!
The story is about Amy, a young intern with a law
firm (oh that just doesn’t matter). Turns out her new roommate has been replaced
by an irresistible, sexy, tall and handsome hunk - Sid (now that’s what is
important, right). There begins a love and hate – push and pull kind of chemistry
between the two. Needless to mention, lust and love (in that order) blooms in
the room. Interestingly, Sid is a spy and Amy is his suspect. However, from
suspecting Amy to protecting her, Sid has a difficult journey to make, fighting
the rebel group and his inner emotions.
The
book transforms itself from a mills and boons to a fairy tale romance to a spy thriller
and the twists will just amaze you. The author’s thought process and the story
building is really noteworthy. The narration weaves the different genres effortlessly.
The climax
though unpredictable, is neither as exciting as the build-up nor convincing
enough. I hate to say, the end of the story was a little disappointing.
My take-away from this book: Life will give you
many surprises and shocks; you will be put in situations you would not know how
to react, that’s when you need to act and act right.
My
rating: 3 Stars
I
received a review copy of the book from The Book
Club in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
