Building
on Broken Dreams
Brothers
in Law, #3
by
Lyndell Williams
Genre:
Contemporary Romance
From
award-winning writer and bestselling author Lyndell Williams, a
steamy romance that tests the boundaries of faith and yearning.
If
Maryam Avery stays in New York for one more day, she will
die.
Trapped
in an abusive relationship with the manipulative and cruel Raad, she
can feel her life closing in around her. After he chases her from her
home and family, Maryam flees to Philadelphia, searching desperately
for a new beginning, something to help rebuild her spiritually and
physically.
When
she meets the mysterious Adam, things are thrown off-kilter. A
successful businessperson with his own past that he is fleeing from,
he is everything that Maryam wants. But can she trust another
man?
Doubt
gives way to desire. They find themselves in a whirlwind romance, and
for once, it seems like everything will work out.
Until
Raad turns up.
"Lyndell
William’s romances open readers to diverse cultures, passion and
deep emotions, making them root for love to prevail." Katara

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . BUILDING ON BROKEN DREAMS (Brothers in Law, #3) . . . I have read all three stories presented in the Brothers in Law series from this new author presented to me this year. I find that overall I really like the stories. It has more to do with the fact that she is giving me real life couples with each new installment. The world we live in is not one skin color or one race or even one religion.
With this installment we follow Adam and his courtship and marriage to Maryam. I very much liked the reformed Adam, but missed his life to the reform. I thought with the prologue that was the beginning of seeing his life, but was not. When we get in the story time has passed and we are more focused in the life of the woman he has selected to marry.
Maryam was different and strong. She was apart of and not apart of her Muslim community. She felt on the outside even with being raised within the community. There was blatant racism within the community that was supposed to be beyond that and all about Allah. I hurt for her and her journey to finding someone to love her.
I have to say this is book three of the series. I am still getting grammar errors and word reversal or incorrect word usage. I was expecting more.
