Title: Condemned : The Richmore Series
Author: Hayley Oakes
Genre: Fiction, Contemporary Romance
Pages: 519


 Rating: 4/5

Condemend by Hayley Oakes is the first book in the Richmore series. It is a contemporary romance that includes love, heart break, suffering, yearning, basically all the essential elements required to weave a good romance. The book is the latest release among the many other romances by the author.

William Devereux and Jessa Jones are next door neighbours since childhood but were not exactly friends. Will was known for being brash and Jessa would never want to go near him. But things change during their teenage and Jessa falls for the rough, dominant Will and just as she begins​ to trust him, he leaves her, heartbroken. Years later when they meet, something has changed in Will but Jessa doesn't want to take a second chance. But will she be able to resist his charms and forgive him? Would that be a wise thing to do?

The story is not a casual romance. It is sophisticated and real. The story moves in a good pace, regularly providing the readers with enough substance to relish upon. The narrative is intense, superb writing by the author.

Now a little something about the characters. Jessa and Will make you fall in love with them. Will doesn't come across as boyfriend material in the beginning, not a romantic or even normal. But as the story progresses, the readers understand his behaviour and even empathise with him. Jessa is the loved one, the good girl, the one with the perfect job but hasn't been lucky in love. Lacey, Jessa's bestie, is this lovable, crazy friend (everyone should have one like her!) who is always there for her. All the characters come together to create a wonderful story that makes your day.

Last word. Loved the book, loved the characters. Definitely recommend.

Rating: 4/5 Title:  Paths of Glory Author: Jeffrey Archer Genre: Fiction, Suspense, Thriller Pages: 400 Publisher: Pan Books IS BN-13:  9780330511667 Paths of Glory is an interpretation of the life of George Mallory. This book claims that Mallory realized his lifelong dream of conquering Mount Everest 29 years before Sir Edmund Hillary and Tensing Norgay achieved their feat. The topic has always remained a controversy since 1924 when Mallory and his fellow Andrew Irvine attempted to reach the summit of Mt. Everest but never returned alive. They were last seen by Noel Odell (another mountaineer climbing behind them) when they were around 1000 meters below the peak of the mountain before disappearing into an extreme storm heading their way. Whether they actually reached the top or not, continues to remain a mystery till date. It was not until 1999, when Irvine’s and Mallory’s frozen bodies were found that the debate fired up again. Efforts are still u

But the summary had done its job. It had heightened my expectations and I was waiting to pore into the book and get lost in an adventurous and romantic tale. The Immortals of Meluha is the story of Shiva, a leader of the Guna tribe in Kailash Mansarovar in the Himalayas. When they are all invited to the land of Meluha, the centre of civilization, Shiva and his people are surprised at the lavish but precept livelihood led by the Meluhans.
