Paper Hearts and Promises: A Multicultural Second Chance Romance Kindle Edition

by Devika Fernando (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 out of 5 stars 12 ratings
Happy running her little crafts shop and making a lifelong dream come true, the last thing Taara needs is to be reminded of heartbreak. But when Luke, the handsome architect from Australia - and the first man she ever loved - is thrown back into her life, the past and the present collide. She should absolutely not listen to her feelings and jeopardize her stable future, no matter how tempting a second chance seems.

When Luke returns to India after seven years, the last thing he expects is to meet Taara again. He’s here on business, not to lose his heart to the one woman who’s haunted his dreams for entirely too long. Why then does he feel like fighting for what seemed irrevocably lost? Why can’t he resist temptation?

Disclaimer: This sweet interracial romance novella of approximately 21,000 words was previously published as part of the multi-author anthology 'Something Old, Something New'.

Devika Fernando

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.
Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Almost as soon as Devika Fernando could write, she imagined stories and poems. After finishing her education in Germany and returning to her roots in Sri Lanka, she became a writer. Having lived in Germany and in Sri Lanka with her husband has made her experience the best (and the worst) of two totally different worlds – something that influences her writing.

Her trademark is writing deeply emotional, closed-door romances, often with international settings and/or multicultural couples. She draws inspiration from everyone and everything in life. Apart from her contemporary and paranormal romance novels, she has co-written a romantic suspense book series with Mike Wells.

What Devika loves most about being an author is creating new worlds and sending her protagonists on a journey with ups and downs that leaves them changed. When she’s not writing, she’s reading or thinking about writing, eating too much chocolate, taking nature photographs, and playing with her cat and dogs.

    Yet another great multicultural novel by the author. I love the combination of HEA romance with detailed descriptions of the assorted places very much in the manner that Devika Fernando got us used to.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Give this Second Chance Romance a Chance!
    Reviewed in India on August 18, 2020

    I had the pleasure of reading Luke and Taara’s story a few months ago as part of a romance anthology, and I absolutely adored it.
    I love the way the author has created such a swoon worthy hero and such a strong, independent heroine, both with a softness and realness about them that makes them so relatable.
    What I love most about Devika’s books are the creative and quirky settings she uses- like Taara’s delightful art and crafts shop. Twinkling fairy lights, colourful paper flowers and tinkling wind chimes... her vivid descriptions always make her books such a treat and you find yourself transported right into the story. I won’t give away anything about the story, except this- if you’re looking for a perfect, sweet, feel-good romance... you’ve found it!

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Star of Mumbai

    Taara (which means star) has carved her own life , trade and Life. She upset her parents because she did not accept to live her life in the expected and traditional way. But did she? Being almost afianced the man her parents chose?

    Luke is the hotshot architect from Australia who is thankfully no stereotypical first world man. He studied in India for a year for instance. And India got under his skin and in his heart.
    Can they find their way back to each other?

    5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely second chance romance

    From page one I was rooting for Luke, totally charming and loveable Aussie. Taara, the charming, creative Indian girl is the love of his love of his life but there seems to be an ocean of issues that keeps them apart.
    Will they get a secondchance at love?
    Read to find out.
