Against All Rules is of the typical office scenario where the secretary and the boss fall for each other in spite of it being against the rules and is the premise of this novel. What is different is the handling and the back story of Against All Rules.
Tahir, the suave boss with his no nonsense manner, curt and of course bossy; he is also just as handsome and he knows it but he sets equally high standards for himself. Feeling inadequate for himself and his self doubt almost costs his true love for him. Yes, I could see Ranbir playing Tahir to perfection.
Samara is super efficient, sensuous secretary who makes his life easy and difficult at the same time. She comes from a small town and in spite of her unsupportive and shaky back ground manages to make a good life for herself. She is in love with her boss but dare not show her feelings and when Tahir proposes a weekend getaway to solve their desires for each other she is aghast.
It is not a typical tale of office love but has a healthy doze of jealousy, indecision, confusion, fights, family drama and of course loads of passion. There is the vindictive ex-wife and silly co-workers who try to undermine Samara but she is one resilient girl. Her hardships have made her stronger and she faces life head long on her terms.
The story progresses along but does seem a bit slow at times and it could do with a tiny bit of tighter editing. I think that Summerita has written a lovely story and we all know that the path of true love is never easy.
The novel goes perfectly with the free and independent lifestyles of today where we live lives on our own terms. It has all the elements to keep your interest and wishing the two tormented lovers unite as soon as possible.
This book is full of nice surprises along the way and they last right till the end making it a pleasant read.
Lots of work and lots of play with fun along the way.
