Incognito: Serendipity, Book 2

⊱✨🖤✨*❃°⊱╮ღ꧁ MY 5-STAR REVIEW ꧂ღ╭⊱°❃*✨🖤✨≺INCOGNITO by Charlene NamdhariIt’s official. I’ve been “Namdhari’d” and I couldn’t be more pleased. I mean what the heck did I just read?Incognito is truly an incredible, brilliantly written, heartfelt and naughty 5-STAR romance. It is decadent, dangerous and dirty as well as titillating and sizzling hot. Gah! I can’t even!I’m giving nothing away in this review. No major spoilers. It’s based solely on my feelings and reflections of the story as well as brief highlights.Imagine if you will, the unimaginable. Your very best day turning into the very worst day of your life. You kiss your wife, the love of your life, goodbye after complications from giving birth and she peacefully slips away in the arms of her soulmate. Then imagine 7 years later, you learn she’s alive… With no memory of who she is or who she was in her past life… and... she’s married to another man…Imagine waking up in the hospital and not knowing who you are, not even your name and discovering someone left you for dead, years ago. Imagine having no answers to every question about who you were including your past. The knowledge that the only past that exists for you is just minutes old since your awakening. Imagine your savior offering you the security and protection you need to enable you to move forward into an unknown future, feeling safe. To be given a name. His name.Imagine being at the right place and the right time when you discover a woman’s beaten body left for dead. Imagine you save her life and offer to protect her and that offer is accepted.Incognito, book 2 in the Serendipity Series by the amazingly talented author, Charlene Namdhari is a BIG, BOLD AND BANG’N ROMANCE. It’s a love triangle of sorts and if what I’ve just written doesn’t reel you in, the very first chapter will…Let me start by saying I knew this book was going to kill me, decimate my heart and I couldn’t wait to get started. And I was right. The first chapter? I bawled like a dang baby. And that was only chapter one. The only way I can describe it is that it felt so real to me. I literally felt the pain.. Not to mention I was engrossed with every page I turned from that point on.Sometimes stories start off really slow as you get a backstory and get to know the characters. I really loved the beginning in Incognito. That first chapter packs a highly emotional punch. Most of the time I was a mixed bag of emotions while reading this book. So many feels. It was “feels galore” I tell ya. I really do love when I cry while reading a romance. That means the story has really touched me. Love and pain… you can’t have one without the other in a romance. It wouldn’t be true love otherwise. And well, ugly cries are the best. Don’t you think?Restaurateur hottie Trent Shaw is a 33 years old, single father of 7 year old ADORABLE twins Neha and Nicky. Unexpected devastation turned his world upside down when he lost his wife Krisha 7 years ago as a result of complications of childbirth. Now he’s on his own. Believe you me, Trent is a 10+ on the naughty indulgence meter. And I wanted to indulge over and over again. He’s the king of dirty talk. Seriously, word after titillating word kept me drooling and begging for more. I couldn’t get enough of him.He runs into a woman who looks just like his wife Krisha. He’s sure it’s her and has decided to get her back. Easy peasy right? Wrong. She doesn’t recognize him. Trent finds out she is now married to Zayne Morrone. Zayne is equally hot and irresistible but very close mouthed regarding his wife Ashrika (or Rika as he calls her) as well as his business ventures and personal affairs. Zayne covets her and is fiercely possessive, protective and loyal to her. He will not allow his wife to get hurt again.Ashrika Morrone has suffered so much in her 28 years of her young life. She has no memory of her past and is building a life, however out of the box it is, with her husband Zayne. She has her own restaurant and is a chef. That’s all I’m telling you. The one thing I will tell you is that she suffers every day not being able to remember anything including the thought that the people who left her for dead will return to finish the job. It’s incredibly heartbreaking. There is so much I want to mention here but can’t because I really want you to experience this story without influencing you with my review.What happens next? Will she get her memory back by being around Trent even though she knows nothing of their past together? What happens when Zayne discovers Trent is his wife’s husband. Will he stand in their way? Will Ashrika have to choose between these two formidable men? Will the dangers surrounding Ashrika’s past come back to haunt her? Will those dangers finish the job they started 7 years ago? How is it possible Trent’s wife Krisha is alive and married to another man?What I love most about Trent, Ashrika and Zayne is that they are all vulnerable players here in their own unique ways. Each person stands to lose everything. Their vulnerabilities are tangible things.Things are not what they appear to be. When lies, betrayals and deceptions are revealed there is no turning back the hands of time. They say the truth can set you free. That may be true. Someone will pay…. with their life. Sometimes all the bad things in life happen for a reason. Destiny has plans for these three people and seeing that destiny unfold and take place is going to taste so flipping good, I promise.There are so many brilliant twists that you never see coming and they are some of the best twists I have ever come across. All I kept saying to myself was NO FREAKING WAY!!!!Although this is mainly a serious romance, the author proves has a gift with comedy. Ashrika’s inner dialogue just cracked me up and the one liners? They really had me busting a gut laughing out loud. I also need to mention that Ms. Namdhari is also the queen of writing sexy-time scenes. Wowza! Talk about H.O.T.!!! Trent has the dirtiest mouth and may I just say he is absolutely delicious and swoony!!!!Romance novels evoke such an emotional response for me. Every single time whether it’s good or bad. And even though I know the characters in the book don’t really exist, I still get emotionally vested in every character nonetheless. It’s all part of the thrill of the entire reading experience. Trent, Ashrika and Zayne owned me. They still do.My final thoughts... Author Charlene Namdhari never ceases to amaze me with her ability to create a beautiful, emotional and haunting love story. She penned an amazing story. When all was said and done and I turned that last page and read the very last word, I was left fully joyed and completely sated. No questions were left unanswered whatsoever. It’s been a few days since I finished this book and my heart's still beating fast. I love it when a book stays with you long after you read it. The ending was perfection. Wow just wow!My advice to every romance reader out there who loves a romance with all the feels, characters with depth and dimension, tons of twists, a heaping load of dirty talk, some of the hottest sexy-time I’ve ever read and a storyline that will blow you away, including the ending, is to READ INCOGNITO! YEAH, IT’S THAT GOOD!

Holy moly!! Each book in the series is getting better and better! Gahhh! I just can't explain how much I loved this book...it was such a perfect mix of flipping steaminess, intrigue, mystery, and twists!!! DON'T miss this series! You've gotta read these books!

The twist and turns still has my jaws wide open. This book is a must have. Although stand-alone you should read book 1. I can't wait to devour this entire series

This series is so 🔥. Sexy, smutty, plot-twisting, different lifestyles. I just can't put them down. On to the next one. Buy, buy, buy.

Incognito is the second installment in the Serendipity Series, reads as a standalone and is another impredictable tale by Charlene Namdhari.Let me start by saying that I won't extend myself in this review for the fact that Charlenes's books are best enjoyed when you go in blind.For most of the readers, this can fall in the love triangle trope, but I didn't feel it that way. This a story of loss, grief and a great amount of fate.Trent Shaw is hurting and trying to recover from his wife's loss. So, imagine when he goes to a restaurant and those hauting eyes are there, looking straight at him, something unimaginable and impossible. Ashrika was rescued from a very difficult predicament and lives happy and protected with her savior, Zane, a man with a past and demons of himself.I loved that umprecedent push to each other Trent and Rika had, like a force, like something that was meant to be and most of all, it really did me in the love and respect both men held for her and towards one another. All they cared, in the very first place, was her wellbeing, security and feellings, something she gave to the men of her life, the two souls that would always be hers, no matter what.Yes, the end could have gone both ways, but I'm happy it went this way and that we have lots of questions and another story on the way!

Incognito is book two in the serendipity series. We do see some of our favorite characters from book one. Oh, how I have missed them. I do have two suggestions before reading this book. One go in blind, trust me, you will have the best experience from his book if you do. Two, Have an open mind. I do and still had to sit back and think about the events that happened. Incognito is not for everyone; if you worry about safety, this book is not for you, and that is okay. Two husbands, one woman, past and present. Both fighting for her love. I love a good love triangle. With them, you will always have some emotional heartbreak. This is like no other love triangle. The author initially cracked open my heart and slowly put it back together, and played with my heartstrings along the way. It's a very emotional read. Let me tell you, all three of them at times frustrated the crap out of me, especially Zayne. As much as they frustrated me, I loved them all equally and am in awe of Ashrika's strength. She doesn’t give herself enough credit. The sex scenes are steamy and full of passion. Trent is my favorite kind of dirty talking man. Actually, Both men are swoon-worthy. There is a ton of secrets, many twists, and turns, push/pull that I had whiplash at times. I didn’t see not one headed my way, not a one!! I love when that happens. The only reason I am not giving this book five stars is as follows felt some parts towards the end were a little over the top. But as I sit here and reflect on it. Maybe that is what needed to happen. If there was less drama, would I still enjoy the book(yes), and would it take away from the story? I believe it would. Across-the-board I have enjoyed this book, and yes, I recommend it. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Without a shadow of a doubt, it is undeniably tough when your wife forgets about you. You would do anything in your power to bring back her memory or make her fall in love with you again. Trent did both and more… he was willing to let Ashrika go, live a new life and be happy even if it meant he could not have her. His love is so strong and admirable, you could not help but be Team Trent.I liked how Charlene kept Ashrika’s past a suspense throughout the book but fed bits and pieces of information to readers from time to time. It keeps you intrigued wanting to know her true identity and her connection with the other characters especially the kids. I truly feel for Ashrika especially during her sessions with Dr. Landers, at times I wonder whether I will choose to go through the ordeal to get my memory back or let go and create new ones instead. What would your choice be?Zayne, an absolute gentleman despite his background. He is a killer, protector and lover rolled into one. It was a shame he did not show his feelings towards Ashrika sooner, else their story might take on a completely different path and we could only imagine what if. I hope we get a story on Zayne in the Serendipity series as he deserves to find his true love.

Love, love, love Trents story!! And what a story it was! This story was filled with an intense plot, seriously steamy sex scenes, loads of angst, betrayals and so many twists and turns I could not put it down!Trent and Zayne are both alphas who don't want to back down, both fighting for what they want but neither wanting to hurt the woman they both love! I really loved the ins and outs of their relationship with Ash!I can't wait for the next book in the series...I love how all the books are stand alone but all have an inter connecting storyline which is getting darker and darker!!

Book 2 in the Serendipity series and wow, what a rollercoaster of twist and turns and a whole lot of passion!Read this story with a very open mind. Yes they’re are three people involved in this heart wrenching love triangle….but believe me when I say I didn’t feel like any cheating was involved. It’s a complex love story, so again I feel the reader deep down knows who Ashrika belongs to, despite your heart breaking for the man that has to let her go. His time will come and he will eventually find his soulmate.Told in three POV’s, Incognito is another brilliantly written story by Charlene, that totally captivated me from the first page.

So many twists and turns I loved this book so much! Just when you think Trent has it all sussed out, and hes 'found' Krisha... Its flipped upside down and back to front and you're living in shock again for a few pages until the next shock lol Zayne definitely brought a tear to my eyes a few times once you find out the real story. Brilliant read!

This book is worth more than 5 stars, there is so many twists and turns, you would neve expect or see coming, this book sucks you in, there are so many emotions to ride through all the way through this book. I was so torn between Zayne and Trent, but for some reason I was more drawn to Zayne, loved this triangle and HEA for Trent and Ash. Brilliantly written story loved it. Cannot wait to see where Charlene takes us next.
