One Wrong Turn at a Time by Jan Heidrich Rice

One Wrong Turn at a Time: How We Navigated Fifty States, Forty-Five Years & One Marriage by Jan Heidrich-Rice
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book reminded me of my friend, who got married to her longtime boyfriend, They decided to quit their jobs and go for a new beginning. In their old car, they travelled 21 US states staying in motels and eating subs and delis for about three weeks.
One Wrong Move at a time comprises of such impromptu unplanned messed up moments, where the author and her husband set forth on an adventure in their old crammed up car, which has already seen many miles, with old maps and end up in multiple detours and goof ups.
It’s a light hearted read with lot of hilarious moments and a lot of wisdom about marriage coupled with flashbacks.
I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to everyone.

The Duke's dream by GioVanna Siniscalchi

The Duke's Dream by Giovanna Siniscalchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a pretty interesting book which deftly weaves historic backdrop of Napolean wars into a steamy romance tale. Helene is a ballet dancer, who wants to make big on the stage. She is also an active member in the French revolution. William is a duke whose political aspirations are pledged to the ruling regime and he intends to become the prime minister. William has been haunted by a nymph in his dreams. The nymph is a spitting image of Helene. As attraction soars, the political ideology comes as a barrier between them. It is a battle between their career aspirations and their attraction.
The tale is filled with political intrigue, the restrictions imposed in the Napolean era and the societal norms which prevent free flow of thoughts. I learnt a lot about the aristocratic era through this book. I enjoyed it very much.
