Samna Ghani, Author of All Aboard

I'm so pleased to welcome author Samna Ghani and to recommend her debut novella, All Aboard.  Ghani's contemporary romance is an entertaining read in the same vein as Bridget Jones's Diary.  Read the Hawaiian word countdown to find out more about Samna and her writing.

‘Ehā

Four sentences that describe what inspires me.

Romance novels inspire me, especially the classics. I tend to read my favorite authors over and over again and somehow the urge to write multiplies every time I finish a book. Nature inspires me too. Being around the lake or beach.

Mahalo, Samna, for stopping by this weekend to tell us a little about yourself!

My Review
When Violet Osborne decided to take a European cruise, she planned to participate in every activity.   What she didn’t plan on was falling for a guy who was a complete womanizer. And until Reed Kendall met Violet, he never planned to stop being a playboy.  Ghani takes us on a rollicking ride while Violet and Reed try to find their way to love.  Violet’s endearing daily diary entries are reminiscent of Bridget Jones.  I recommend All Aboard to anyone who loves contemporary romance.  Rating:  ‘Ehā Hoku (4 Stars)
