A Stranger's Affection: An Enemies To Lovers Dark Romance (Tough Love Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Charlene Namdhari (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 61 ratings
"There is nothing stronger than a broken woman who has rebuilt herself." - Hannah Gadsby

Revenge is a deadly weapon. But it takes a special kind of vengeance to make a woman kill without remorse, to laugh without mirth, to challenge without thought. Kidnapped at seventeen, held captive and then forced into the world of crime, Nishani Scott Callahan defines fearless.

Back with her family eleven years later and ready for normalcy, fate strikes another blow. Abducted on her honeymoon, she’s severely assaulted. Fierce determination sees her escaping straight into the headlamps of a stranger's vehicle.

Billionaire Colton Black is hardcore. A man who treads a fine line between good and bad. He's got no time for love, until a rough pearl with dark hair and deep blue eyes lands in his lap, badly beaten and missing a chunk of her memory. Saving her means risking his guarded privacy, but her feistiness when she awakens catches him completely off-guard.

Equally unprepared, Nishani can’t fathom this ferociously controlled man who appears to reach past her scars to touch her fractured soul.

Will he be her salvation or her ruin?

or the reader who wants to delve beyond the average romance.
Trigger warnings: Sexual Abuse, Kidnapping & Graphic Language, Sex and Violence.

Review

"Truly Moving Book - This is simply outrageous and profoundly dark emotionally raw an downright nitty-gritty" - Goodreads reader***
"Dark and Twisted - This is a dark story that will have you on an emotional rollercoaster" - Bookbub review***"What an incredible read!! Exciting, intense and captivating! So many twists and turns! Full of angst and chaos! Revenge and finding love! Off the charts chemistry! Fantastic HEA!!" - Booksprout reviewer***This is a great story and it has lots and lots of painful moments and situations.
It's amazing how a human being can undure so much pain, suffering and still continue to live. Finding a purpose and having something to focus is the secret.
I cried through Nishi pain and I fell in love with Colton over and over!
Loved the story and highly recommend it! - Booksprout review***Charlene Namdhari took my heart and soul for a wild ride. I laughed. I cried. I hurt. I rejoiced. I read the warning about the graphic nature and boy was it intense. But I must say that this book gave victims a voice. It gave rape victims a victory. It was written with such love and care. The ending gave me all the peace I needed. Complementary copy given for honest review and opinion. - Netgalley Reviewer

I'm not a cliched romance writer.

I write plot-driven, mindfuck stories. (the twisted the better kind)

I'm not afraid to push boundaries.

(check out Intoxication, Infallible, and Duality)

I write steam like I shower - scalding.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A really good story.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2020
    I still don’t know whether to give this book 4 or 5 ⭐️

    This book is about a girl named Nishani who’s been kidnapped at the age of 17 and held captive, used and drugged until she escaped. Since escaping she promised herself to get revenge on those who did this to her.

    When I started reading this book and I was barely a few pages in I was about to give up, only because of how the book starts. Dark and torturing which I don’t really like. Fortunately the writer wrote the first few pages so well, that I wanted to know how it’ll end up! So I kept reading…I’m happy I did that!

    Mostly I really liked the story (surprise, surprise) and then the characters around. The book kept you addicted to it and the characters made it so easy to fall for them and experience what they did.

    The main character Nishani was a girl who became cold hearted, because the circumstances made her and also she didn’t believe in love and seek only revenge/vengeance.

    The guy called Colton is a high-ranked person and respected, because if you thought about crossing him; you’d be long dead. Highly protective over his family and business. And future Nishani’s crush.

    Another one is Rex, he’s Colton’s brother and Nishani’s soon to be “brother”. He’s really sweet and caring.

    I disliked the beginning but at the same time I think it was unnecessary for the story to start that way, so we could understand what she was going through and what happened.

    Overall the book kept me busy and me like-y it! There were bits and pieces that I kind of expected but it didn’t bother me at all. I honestly enjoyed when I knew I was right…it made me feel like a side character.

    I finished the book 2 days ago and for the first time I really didn’t know how to write a review about this one.

    I highly recommend to read this book if you don’t mind dark, little twisted, a little more sexy story with even more sexier characters.

    Nishani was kidnapped at the age of 17 and used and abused until she is able to escape and plot her revenge against those who hurt her. When she thinks her life is back to normal she is taken again but escapes and runs into the arms of Colton Black. He finds Nishani badly beaten and unable to remember all of her past. Will Colton let her into is dark and private world? Fast-paced intense read with lots of drama, steam and action. I was hooked on this read from beginning to end. I loved it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, Gritty and Raw
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020
    This is my first book by this author and I will be honest I wasn’t convinced at the start if this book was for me. I didn’t feel a connection at the start and found myself struggling to hold tight to the story. However, five chapters in and it all turned around. Colton and Nishani found their place with me and I was captivated by this dark, gritty and at times confronting story. These two have such strong personalities and have the perfect mix of her strength and resilience to his arrogance and protective nature. A romantic suspense that is raw, steamy, passionate and angsty. As you navigate through the twists and turns, revenge and love, Colton and Nishani will show you that it is possible to move from the darkness and finally find the light in life. A heart stopping, action packed love story that will break you a little but leave you feeling lighter as Colton shows Nishani that love really can come true.

    My Review: This is the first book I’ve read by Charlene Namdhari and I highly enjoyed it. I didn’t read the previous book in this series and I was able to understand what was happening just fine. I didn’t think this story was very dark, it had elements of sexual abuse and torture, but it wasn’t very explicit and overly disturbing. Colton and Nishi are great characters and I loved that their relationship felt genuine and their chemistry was wonderfully sexy. I liked that they were mature adults and although they fought their feelings, they didn’t manipulate each other and act like teenagers. The story was interesting, had action and danger, and watching Colton and Nishi fall in love was exciting. I’ll definitely be checking out more from this author.

    I don’t like books that are written like this one. It is as if a narrative is reading to you with the occasional characters speaking.
    Plot was good and I did finish it which was a testament bc when I started I knew it was going to be a DNF but the story went quickly and ended up being that I couldn’t put it down.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2020
    This is my first time reading this author and I loved this book. The author has written a brilliant story that shows the resilience of human nature. There are some trigger warnings in the blurb and I strongly suggest those are taken seriously. I am looking forward to reading more from this author if this is the type of book she produces. It’s a wonderful plot with amazing characters, a shear delight to read.

    Unfortunately I didn't read much of this. I only read romances written in first person; I had just read intoxication by this author—which was excellent— written in first. But for all those who aren't bothered by whether a book is in first or third etc. then the storyline looks good and I can certainly recommend this author.
