Bittersweet Memories (Off-Limits)

Product Information

Fast forward two years, Leia and Adrian cross paths yet again but since she had been previously hurt Leia insists on boundaries in their new relationship. The first half of the book was INCREDIBLE. I fell in love with Alanna and Silas during the chapters set in the past, and I honestly would have read an entire book with that storyline. However, when they had that fight towards the end of the chapters set in the past, it felt completely random and out of character for Silas. Even more, once we got into present time that's where things felt off. You're a ray of sunshine, a ray of light, a ray of hope in an otherwise dark, bleak world. You're enough to illuminate my path, yet I always want more."

Fast forward two years and Leia and Adrian meet again. Since she had been hurt, Leia has set boundaries in her relationship with Adrian who reluctantly agrees. Zane Windsor always loved the way Celeste Harrison’s eyes light up when he infuriates her. It just took him years to realize that what he felt for his childhood rival wasn’t hatred. I have trouble rating this one because there were moments that I LOVED in this book, and moments that felt completely off based on the first half of the book. The writing was amazing, and I truly think that this is one of Catharina Maura's most stunning works. The story was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, but ultimately the plot felt all over the place and inconsistent to me. After living in Holland for several decades, she moved to Hong King and Singapore but ultimate settle in the former. He is a gorgeous and swoony man and is known for being possessive and very alpha they have some intense sexual chemistry.I’m sorry, Alanna. You’re right. I have been treating you the way I would others your age, but it’s undeserved and unwarranted. I won’t do it again, okay?” UNDESERVED? UNWARRANTED? To treat a 15 year old... like a 15 year old? When you're a whole ass 20 year old grown man. I've had this on my TBR for what's felt like forever. I was in the mood for something angsty and so I dove in. But this was not quite what I thought it would be from the blurb. When they begin working for their family businesses, competing on a larger scale than ever before, he decides he wants it all with her — and what Zane Windsor wants, he gets. Professor Astor” by Catharina Maura is a story that combines several tropes that will have her readers shedding happy tears and also crying as it is beautifully written.

I was really not ready for this novella to end; I needed so much more but I guess that will have to wait until the full-length novel. You think you are getting typical girl meets boy at coffee shop, but girl has boyfriend, so boy is going to be all "alpha" about it but nope. Not at all, Silas is most definitely not a boy, and he most definitely isn't going to be all "alpha" because he is the alpha. When he saw Aria in action, he had no choice but to offer her a job and a place to live at his penthouse in Silicon Valley. But Aria has a dark secret. Her life is upended when she gets some devastating news while she was at work. It only gets worse when she goes home to discover her boyfriend had been a philandering scoundrel and that she has lost her home.Dr. Grant” is the second novel of the “Off Limits” series of novels by Catharina Maura. It tells the beautiful romance story of Amara the Ph.D. student and Noah that just qualified as a doctor. Over the years, many of her relatives have become a blend of Javanese, Afro Surinamese, and Indo Surinamese, even though at best she is of Indian descent. She is now known for her penchant for penning some angsty stories that can be very intriguing. She currently lives in Hong Kong but given her wanderlust, she has at some point made her home in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Singapore. Ethnically, she is Surinamese even though if you would like to be more specific, she is Indo-Surinamese. Her grandparents had moved from India to Suriname under the guise of indentured labor in the 1800s.
