BOOK OF THE WEEK: LOVE'S INDENTURE by FEYI AINA

Hello people.

 What is the probability of a rich girl getting married to a mechanic? Well, author Feyi Aina thinks it’s very possible, and sets out to prove it in her sweet romance, Love’s Indenture. Read and Enjoy.


Sassy, ill-mannered Jaiyeola is quite the opposite of her sister, Molade, who everyone regards as sweet and gentle. But Jaiye doesn’t seem to mind being the black sheep of the family; at least, not outwardly. Only Molade understands her and knows how to reach beneath the cold exterior to the warm heart beneath. When, however, death conspires to take Molade away, Jaiyeola finds herself in a fix and only marriage to a car mechanic, Toye, can save the situation and deliver her from the demons within.

I enjoyed reading this book. I must confess that I wasn’t particularly hooked by the first chapter, maybe because it kind of started out a bit preachy and I expected the rest of the book to be that way.
I was pleasantly surprised. Many authors tend to ‘cheat' by declaring that their hero/heroine fell in love  at first sight, thus conveniently avoiding the task of creating the sort of attraction that readers can identify with. This author, however, took her time to build the chemistry between Toye and Jaiye, and by the sixth chapter I was hooked.

The story is also reasonably realistic, which adds to its appeal. Readers who are not fans of lengthy novels will find this book to their taste as it can be finished within six hours.

I do wish though that the author had gone for an edgier book cover. I also felt the ending was a bit abrupt, one more chapter detailing perhaps the birth of their child or the 'happily ever after' may have been in order.

All in all, however, if you like reading romance stories that give goosebumps and make one's heart go linga linga ling, to borrow a line from Tuface Idibia's African Queen, then this book is for you.

Status: Recommended, for lovers of sweet romance.
