Romance and reality

I am a sucker for romance and despite work, a small child, a busy husband and a household to take care of, I often spend time in my own dreamland. When I just had a baby, I had to give up on reading for sometime. I didn't miss it at that time though, because I was too busy admiring the beautiful thing that I had brought into this world. Now that he is a little older and I have some free time, I have started reading avidly again. Although I read all kinds of books, newspapers, magazines and blogs, I love romance above all.

A book which I read recently and totally loved is Knight in Shining Suit by Jerilee Kaye. I discovered it on Wattpad and was instantly hooked. Many a time, I come across romance novels which can be summed up as the story where a rich and drop dead gorgeous alpha male comes and rescues the poor little helpless heroine and they live happily ever after. There is a rich and gorgeous alpha male in Knight in Shining Suit as well. But he doesn't rescue the poor little heroine. She faces betrayal, humiliation and heartbreak, but draws from her inner strength to overcome it all. She takes matters into her own hands and fights back. She has her family and set of true friends to whom she turns for help when she cannot do it on her own. That is how normal people react, right. Ofcourse there is also magical romance that may or may not exist in real life. Slowly and steadily she learns to trust her Knight and lets him into her heart. She even goes on to rescue him and their love when he is in distress. This book is a bit of reality and a bit of fantasy, but the message I got and loved was that we women ought to be strong and independent and every once in a while we should don the shining armour ourselves and rescue our knights.

Knight in Shining Suit is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords
