Bittersweet Memories (Off-Limits)

Product Information

Oh my heart! This story was such a roller coaster of events and emotions. It was tragic and desperate, yet also filled with so much hope and optimism as love blossomed in the tundra of life. The blurb doesn't prepare you for the story that unfolds. I was completely hooked by Silas and Alanna's journey. Silas was ever hopeful and determined. He was stoic, powerful and commanding, but with such a vulnerable, gentle core. Alanna was stubborn and so strong in the face of adversity. Their story was complicated and mired in mystery and machinations. Their connection was intense and destined, and showcased that love truly conquers all. Such a fabulous read! He is a gorgeous and swoony man and is known for being possessive and very alpha they have some intense sexual chemistry. This was my first Catharina Maura book, or novella and she definitely knows how to pull you in from the very start!!

Thankfully, she was married to a man that did not believe in such a defeatist mindset. He challenged her to publish just one novel and she took up the challenge and published her debut in 2020. At the opening of the story, Adrian has just met a distraught Leia in a bar and decided to engage in some role play which ends in an awesome night that none of them have ever had. She currently makes her home in Hong Kong, even though she has lived in Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Bittersweet Memories is the 4th and final book in Catharina Maura’s Off-Limits series and this is the one I always hear people recommend! I recently binged the whole series and was looking forward to this one as I feel like each book in the series got better and better! And that was definitely true with this book, I loved it.When they begin working for their family businesses, competing on a larger scale than ever before, he decides he wants it all with her — and what Zane Windsor wants, he gets.

She is now known for her penchant for penning some angsty stories that can be very intriguing. She currently lives in Hong Kong but given her wanderlust, she has at some point made her home in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.

Catharina Maura is a USA Today bestselling author best known for her very popular billionaire romance novels that come with a hint of the forbidden. First of all, I was not expecting the amnesia plot and I wasn't that upset about it. I've never read a story where the character had gotten amnesia so I was intrigued and open-minded. I didn't so much mind the fact that she was with Silas's brother, because the girl's got amnesia, she doesn't know better. Plus, her mind went with someone the most similar to Silas. The part that felt extremely out of character though, was Silas being with another woman all while obsessively looking for his "soulmate". To me, it cheapened his passion for her and made it feel like he wasn't as into her and he kept stating. I know it's probably petty of me to think, but part of me hoped he'd stay celibate during their years apart, it would have made their relationship look much stronger to me, especially since he was again, searching for her this entire time.

Over the years, many of her relatives have become a blend of Javanese, Afro Surinamese, and Indo Surinamese, even though at best she is of Indian descent. The Windsors and Harrisons agree to a merger — on one condition: Zane and Celeste must marry each other. After living in Holland for several decades, she moved to Hong King and Singapore but ultimate settle in the former.Unknown to Grayson and Aria, they have both been speaking with an anonymous user on the platform and have over the weeks started falling in love with each other. Ahhh, I could go on and on about all the little things I love about this book and things that happened but I don’t want to spoil anything! This is one of those books that just alters your brain chemistry and I will never forget Silas and Alanna’s story!!

When I started this book It seemed pretty straight forward. Girl gets treated badly so she gets revenge sleeping with his older brother. But it’s so much more then that! I loved it so much and highly recommend reading especially if you love these… The characters meet at 13 (F) and 18 (M), right away he calls her "sweet girl". We then skip two years later (15 and 20 roughly), he calls her "my love", "darling", "sweet girl", "baby", "little girl", and at one point says "She's only sixteen, and she already looks like a vixen." -- blank stare. I don't think I need to go on (but I will). He's CONSTANTLY mentioning her curves, roaming his gaze over her, looking down at her lips, calling her beautiful, pressing her against him, holding her waist, caressing her thigh and cheek, etc. However, the new job comes with many stipulations which he may find difficult to adhere to. He is never to sleep with the students or patients and most important of all, he is to stay away from the granddaughter of Harold Astor. Given that he is a professional, he intends to do what is expected of him until he meets Amara Astor. He just cannot away from Amara, which just makes both their lives complicated. Catharina Maura’s “Until You” is a beautiful brother’s best friend romance novel. The lead is Aria a woman that for the longest time has been dreaming of living a normal life with a loving boyfriend, secure job, and loving boyfriend.
