Book Review: The Checkmate by Madhuri Tamse
The Checkmate by Madhuri Tamse is packed with action, hot romance, power, and dirty games. This is the third one in the series and I suggest you read the first two before reading this one.
Although I became a great fan of Madhuri Tamse after reading The Gamble, the first one in the series. In between I also read The Maze, the second one in the political romance trilogy series. I must say she has outdone herself in the third and the last one in the series.
The first two books in the series revolve around the love story of Ayaan and Meher and the enmity of their fathers Pratap Walia and Kailash Shergill. The Checkmate revolves more around the friendship and enmity of three friends, Pratap Walia, Kailash Shergill, and Tej Khurrana. Here, you will find Pratap and Kailash joining hands a few times for the sake of their children.
The entry of Tej Khurana and his son Raghav makes the story more interesting. Some of the characters like Vishu, Krish, and Aksh who played the least role in the first two were more active and played a vital role in the story to add more twists and turns in the story.
More and more secrets that were buried in the past by Pratap, Kailash, and Tej were revealed only to turn the lives of their children upside down. The climax of the book is breathtaking where the real identity of the King, Ayaan Shergill is revealed.
The flow of the story is super smooth with simple vocabulary. The story moves at a fast pace with twists and turns at every moment. The author and her team had done good work on the editing part. This is one of the best ebook series that I come across with mind-blowing representation.
This is a well-researched book with a well-planned plot packed with good and evil human emotions to win the race for power and money.
Right from the cover till the end, each chapter starts and ends well, and everything is just perfect like a paperback book.
The author wonderfully narrated the story by giving the names of chess pieces to the main characters and villains. Like the first two, this one too is full of amazing quotes inspired by the chess game. The author had gloriously explained the grandness of the chess game in the series which I am too unaware about.
More and more buried secrets are revealed as the story progresses making this book unputdownable. Suspense and hot romance between the King and Queen make this book super interesting and romantic both at a time.
This book is a good combination of romance and politics. If you love reading romance novels with lots of politics and power games then I will recommend you to read The Checkmate by Madhuri Tamse.
