A Sealed Fate
by
Lisa Gordon
Upbeat
and contemporary in style, this riveting narrative features an eclectic
mix of characters awash with local color. To escape the pain of failed
relationships and careers, both Valda and Larissa take themselves to the
exotic locale of Dubai, seeking not only success but a general purpose
in life. Valda does indeed find fulfillment--and, to her astonishment,
love--but all is threatened when she is introduced to a billionaire
Sheikh. Her clandestine relationship with the Sheikh propels her into a
murky web of deceit, and she turns to her friend for help. As an
astrologer, Larissa predicts that Valda and the Sheikh's destinies were
decided from the moment of their first meeting, but she keeps the dire
outcome foretold in the charts a secret. Together, the two women soon
find themselves gambling in a game of cosmic Russian roulette where the
stakes are their lives and their adversary is fate itself. Bravely
merging genres and sensitively embracing personal relationships, this
spiritual and gritty thriller illustrates the complex theme of choice
versus chance.
I
loved this book! It took me a little bit to get into the setting since
it was a totally different country than I'm used to. This is a great
read. The ending was amazing. This is the first book I've read by this
author, but I'd love to read more.
I rate this book 4 stars.
