This book was more than amazing!!!
First and foremost the cover of this book is gorgeous! This book gave off so much feels that it had me wanting more with every page.
Jiya Malhotra is a billionaire heiress that meets Aiden Grayson when she is in America getting away from her life at home (South Africa). When they return to South Africa married Jiya’s father doesn’t agree with it. Eventually, they “go” their “separate” ways. Three years pass and Jiya has moved on with her life. However, is Aiden going to let her move completely on?
This book had many sexy moments and the chemistry between Aiden and Jiya is overly hot!!!
Jiya and Aiden met, fell in and we’re married all within a few weeks. They were happy and in love. A visit to her parents home broke them apart.
Aiden left to prove to her father that he could provide for Jiya without his help. Jiya felt Aiden deserted her and tried to move on with her life.
Most of the story takes place three years later. Aiden returns, Jiya wants to marry another man – who her father approves – but she needs Aiden to sign the divorce papers.
Will that initial connection between the two return? Can Aiden profess his love for Jiya and can she accept he loves her? Does she still love him too and can she forgive his leaving? All of these questions and more are answered in Wholly Matrimony.
This story is well written, the characters are developed and are all very necessary to the story. It is intense, emotional and funny. Wholly Matrimony is my introduction to Charlene Namdhari’s work and I am impressed. I will be reading more of her work!
A story line that captivates you, characters you can’t help but fall in love with and an all around enjoyable read. Once you start reading, it’s hard to put down. You don’t want to miss out on this one so grab your copy today and enjoy!

This is the 3rd book I’ve read written by Charlene Namdhari; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the characters.

A Prideful Heroine
I was looking forward to this one, because I love second chance romances and I’ve enjoyed books from this author before. There was a lot of intense chemistry and Ms Namdhari writes them hot. One of my issues with it is that it was a love-triangle, and it there’s a sniff of cheating or more, I’m out. Well, I was almost out, because it takes a lot for me to not finish a book.
It didn’t matter how hot, sexy and alpha Aiden Grayson might have been, or that he was pretty much a unicorn book boyfriend, or that he was doing his level best to win his wife back, our heroine really let the book down.
Jiya did not recommend herself to me at all. She was selfish, and only worried about her own feelings and reactions. In spite of what family said to her, and even the about face of a pivotal character, she wasn’t going to give an inch. Her family lovingly referred to her as stubborn but she came across to me as prideful. It is said that pride comes before a fall, well, she was about to take a huge swan dive off a cliff. I have never been so disappointed in a heroine before.
But if, love triangles don’t phase you, and you love second chances, and you do love Charlene Namdhari’s books, then you’ll likely enjoy it, but for me this time, it’s a 3.5 star read.
This is the story of Jiya and Aiden. They married three years ago and now she wants a divorce but Aiden can’t be reached. Suddenly he shows up at her place and he begins to recapture her heart. Will she fall for him all over again? What about the man she’s about to marry? I enjoyed this fun, entertaining romance. I received an arc of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Jiya Malhotra married stripper Aiden Grayson three years ago. When he had an argument with her father, he walked away. Jiya now wants a divorce and Aiden does not. What happens in this love triangle made for a very beautiful story. I recommend this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This is an entertaining second chance romance with strong characters in Jiya and Aiden. The author does a great job developing their story and pulled me in with all the family and friends interactions as well as their steamy chemistry and humorous moments. She paints her scenes in vivid detail and moves the story quickly and smoothly. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.

This is the first book I’ve read by Charlene Namdhari and she didn’t disappoint. Three years ago, Aiden and Jiya split after a whirlwind Vegas marriage. He goes back to the USA, she stays behind in South Africa with her family. Now she wants a divorce. And her husband wants her back. Jiya is stubborn (at times so stubborn you want to hurl the Kindle at her) and wants nothing to do with Aiden, but they have a sizzling chemistry that can’t be denied, ending in some HOT moments. Throw in the meddling family (now firmly in Aiden’s court) and friends, a delicious hunk of a husband determined to win her over, Jiya does not know if she’s coming or going, leading to some hilarious (and scorching!) moments all the way to the altar.

I love Wholly Matrimony, I was hooked from the start, its the story of Jiya Malhotra headstrong daughter from a very rich family, who while on holidays meets and marries stripper Aiden Grayson (who is the perfect amount of sexy, arrogance and heart) things dont go great when they return to her family home, fast-forward 2 years later can aiden stop her marrying Brian and rebuild their marriage or is it too little too late,

Omg!! What a fun and swoon worthy book!! Aiden and Jiya story had me giggling and captivated!! Sweet and loving! To sum it up, it was like a butterfly, if you let it go and it comes back to you it was yours and if if not, it was never meant to be! Capturing Jiya’s heart once again made for a fun and exciting journey! And the chemistry… Phew!! Another fantastic book by Charlene Namdhari!
Jiya, our billionaire heiress, meets Aiden Grayson in America. After a whirlwind “relationship”, the two get hitched in Vegas. Eventually, they end up back in Jiya’s home country of South Africa. After several weeks, things get heated between Jiya’s father and her new husband. Things are said and Aiden leaves. Yes, he gives Jiya a choice, but she chooses her family. Flash forward several years, Jiya is ready to marry again. However, she still needs to track down Aiden for a divorce. Well, the fun really begins in their story. I loved their story, but there are several things that did annoy me.
When you read this book, understand it’s a multicultural/interracial love story. Different cultures have different expectations and traditions. Jiya is suffocated by these traditions and yet, she thrives within those parameters. Aiden is American and doesn’t necessarily have those same restrictions. However, he’s also judged by traditions of another culture. There are misunderstandings and a lack of communication between our heroine and hero. Well, more so on our heroine’s part. There are times within the story that you want to reach across the book and shake some sense into Jiya. To say she’s stubborn, well that’s an understatement. Aiden was a gem.
In the end, this was a charming story. The secondary characters were awesome. Eventually, misunderstandings were finally handled. Plus, the ending was PERFECT!! I hope that Ms. Namdhari writes more stories with the other characters especially Jiya’s brother and perhaps, Brian. Well, who is Brian? You’re going to have to read the story!! You’ll love it!
