STAR RATING: 4/5
DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: A wonderful installment to an awesome love story.
Title: Portrait of Jealousy is a title which we might call as a little inappropriate for the story as there have been no incidents that indicate serious jealousy issues.
Title Rating: 3.5/5
Cover: The cover is certainly the eye catcher as it makes you look at it twice with the wonderful colours and design. I do missed a green bracelet on the Model's hand (the readers will have to read the story to know why am I mentioning this particular piece of jewellery).
Cover Rating: 4/5
Characters: HUNTER: The mysterious guy who smells like a control freak, but at the same time is extremely caring and considerate. I still have a feeling that there is something else to his character which is going to be revealed in the next book.
AMBER: She's the girl who has fears, apprehensions and insecurities inculcated in her from her dark past.
HANNAH: This girl is definitely hiding something and I'm sure she's into some trouble which she's not ready to admit.
KAYLA: The mean girl gets a new side when it is revealed she's not willing to do certain things her family wants her to do. Will she come under pressure and ruin Amber and Hunter? Phewww....we will have to wait for the third book for this...
CALEB: He's a happy go lucky fellow and I would have loved to see a bit more of him here.
Characters Rating:4/5
Review: The book deals with the insecurities of a girl when the love of her life is going away for 12 weeks and she feels trust issues creeping in the back of her mind. There are certain people around her who are conspiring against their love topped with the over caring attitude of Hunter which is a little hard to digest. The way the story unfolds adds a new dimension to the characters and the vivid descriptions are certainly enjoyable. Whatever happens in the next book, the author has certainly managed to keep us engrossed to the last page in this one and has left us hungry for more.
Review Rating: 4.5/5
Appreciation: The easy flow, language and the mind engrossing weaving of the story entwined with the perfect blend of the characters.
Let Downs: We'd love to understand more of Hunter and see an insight to his inner feeling and thoughts.
Final Verdict: The story is super hot and a must read by a contemporary romance lover. Highly recommended as it can be easily read in one sitting and enjoyed.
Would I be reading more from MANDA MEADOWS: Definitely. As I haven't read the first one of the series I'm going to grab a copy right away. I'm also waiting impatiently for the third in the Art Model's Club Series i.e. SHADES OF DECEPTION so that my curiosity can finally get some rest on what's going to happen next.
