Sequel to "Love, God & Ultimatums"
Dear Author,
New reader here, and I have to say that this is a beautifully well written story. Brandon and Diya's journey is not perfect but with each chapter, I become more and more curious. Their relationship is somewhat of a trial. The obstacles that they face, though unfortunate, seem very realistic and refreshing in the world of romance fiction. I admire their commitment and devotion to one other and I am grateful for the many layers that you've added to their character.
Brandon is a very personable male character. I don't think he's prince charming yet, overall, he does possess the physical attraction, charm other redeeming qualities that will have the ladies (myself included) swoon over him. I really love how he is not the perfect man but I still I believe he is just the "right one" for Diya. I am both intrigued and worried by his mysterious past. I can understand the need for his discretion but I also feel like perhaps, this is someone who is masking alot of pain and anger on the inside still. And regarding his struggle of revealing the stories, is it because he is still healing from his scars or just afraid of ruining her perception of him?
Diya is definitely unlike any character I've really read. I can appreciate her dedication and resolve to start anew with her faith. I have some qualms regarding her disfunctional family and truly question the logic behind some of her relatives' ideals. Despite all of that family mess, I hope that she can remain strong through it all. As she uncovers more about Brandon's world and the state of her feelings for him, she's starting to get overwhelmed which is understandable. But that girl is the best thing in his life at the moment and I truly hope she can overcome her father's influence and stick through thick and thin.Brandon needs her more than he realises and I also think he's not much in tune with the reality of the situation (as far as her family drama and his friendship with marisol) Up till now I see a storm brewing for these two and I hope they're prepared.
This is truly a gem and I am glad to have found this story. I can't wait to read more.
Hey shiny0612! Your assessment of both characters is spot on. Brandon is fallible and very much concerned about Diya's perception of him. And that all goes back to the yet to be (fully) revealed issues from his past. He sees what he can accept. Diya, on the other hand, worries about what she can't see, namely, the extent of Marisol's attachment to Brandon. Between that, her deepening feelings, and her knowledge of the lengths her parents will go through to make sure she ends with someone they deem worthy, she is struggling. Unfortunately for them both, it's destined to get worse before it gets better.
Thanks for sharing your insight and for this awesome review! Both are very much appreciated : )

Upon returning stateside she finds that there is one aspect of her trip that won't let her go. And she finds that maybe it's just what she needs.
Life as you know it can change in an instant. Every touch, every kiss, and every embrace. How do you cope when the memories fade, but the faces remain the same? Ayana has been married to her husband Jason for four years, it was love at first sight, literally. Everything isn't perfect, but Jason found a new meaning in life when he met Ayana. But what happens when Ayana forgets the warmth of his embrace?
This story is amzing so far and the characters are fleshed out so beautifully and feel very real. it's truly a tough thing to navigate seeing the love of your life not recognize you...I am so excited to continue reading.
Reviewer: shiny0612 Signedi am rooting for Jason and Ayana so far and I hope they can make it. He loves her so much. I wish I had a man love me like this in real life.
