SITARA, Hope all is well with you. I'm sure you must be busy with work and the multitude of things that keep getting added to the "to - do" list :-) Sandhurst, I did read your review on Mr. Upadhyay and I said it there and I will say it again, perhaps you ought to give him a session or two on fluidity of prose :-) ...I really did feel like large portions of the book were a throwback to Mills and Boon..and I know that's not the kindest thing to say, but, that's the truth--from my perspective anyway. As far as taking the "limping bride" to starbucks is concerned...you just put an image in my head that had me in hysterics..something akin to "Young Lochinvar"..with all due apologies to Sir Walter Scott :-)
