Rule

“ Here’s my heart Shaw. You have it in your hands
and I promise you’re the first and last person to ever touch it. You need to
be careful with it because it’s far more fragile than I ever thought and if you try and give it back I’m not taking it.”

This is just one of the lines from the book that I remember even after a month.

Plot :

Shaw Landon loved Rule Archer from the moment she laid eyes on him. Rule is everything a straight–A pre-med student like Shaw shouldn’t want–and the only person she’s never tried to please. She isn’t afraid of his scary piercings and tattoos or his wild attitude. Though she knows that Rule is wrong for her, her heart just won’t listen.

To a rebel like Rule Archer, Shaw Landon is a stuck-up, perfect princess-and his dead twin brother’s girl. She lives by other people’s rules; he makes his own. He doesn’t have time for a good girl like Shaw-even if she’s the only one who can see the person he truly is.

But a short skirt, too many birthday cocktails, and spilled secrets lead to a night neither can forget. Now, Shaw and Rule have to figure out how a girl like her and a guy like him are supposed to be together without destroying their love . . . or each other.

My views : Ok, this is one of the romance books that I read by choice. The story was kind of predictable ( which I realized later) but the way it is written , you will not have any time to think about it. Rule is typical IDC ( I Don’t Care) guy , who is clearly a lot misunderstood by his parents , loved by his brothers and adored by friends. He is good at his job ( one of the best infact) and so so likable.

Shaw is (surprisingly) so sweet and the pretty , shy girl next door but not dumb and awkward like many other heroines I come across in many books that are based on a male character. No way ! Shaw is perfect daughter to parents who never seem to approve anything about her , a good friend , a super hot and wild girlfriend ( the love making scenes would really make you feel oh so HOT ! ). She is fun , a little proud and yet with a good heart that is controlled by a brave mind.

what i really liked about the book was how both Shaw & Rule struggle to make this relation work. It is not the other people that make life unbearable for both but also , learning to fit into each other’s routine , each other’s thoughts and understanding each other that makes the story so believable and close to any heart in love.

Read it for fun , for A real hot & super awesome boyfriend Rule. for the really well created set of characters around them and for believing in Love.

Sigh ! The next book is a bit costly. Can’t wait for its prices to fall a bit

Sometimes Love alone is the cause of all your doubts.

Some times people are the real influence on your decision.

Some times people are the excuses for your decision.

Some times your heart wants to take risks and live each day head on.

Some times your heart just wants to escape all worries and move on.

Some times the only support is not from people you know

Some times the opposition is not from people but of your own.

Some times Love loses these battles ..

Some times Love wins the war of hearts later on …

Here’s to Love that never loses. and to Lovers that always stay close.

Cheers !

The introduction of the book covers his initiation into the topic , the basic definitions and ground rules for belief , the three beliefs , the culture , the links to management and before you know , you become comfortable with the stories & the morals that we can map to present times.

The illustrations done by the author are as funny as simplistic to learn from. The attention is given to all details and presentation of the idea in most effective and understandable way.

Each story that DP took from our scriptures & like wise , is so seamlessly transitioned into the modern story snippets.

while I read the book , I paused and wondered if i had been in same situation or how do people usually react to these scenes. there are many ideas / learning that one can use in our personal lives too and not just business. After all , life too is a transactional sum of a lot of our actions of give and take like this :

Even if you ignore the management part of things , the book has excellent tales and examples from mythology that would initiate you into this topic and make you read more and more. No one can make you impressed with mythology like DP does. The opening pages of the book were very easy as introductions of the topic felt like some one is talking just to you.

The illustrations are awesome ! they are fun , clear and so on the mark. I almost got reminded of a teacher who taught us with similar stimulating visuals .

No aspect of human or business lifeline is left untouched. Without much forceful reading , the author has made us so aware and curious about things around us and way we consciously or subconsciously get affected by it.

I will surely recommend this book to all managers & entrepreneurs, if they ever plan to apply the indian way of dealing things.

Only issue with the book that it is NO way en easy read both by topic and size wise. Some things seem to be over explained which makes reading a bit slow and one can get distracted easily.

All in all , a good read.
I would rate 4/5.
