We are indeed humans. But circumstances and situations sometimes make it feel as though we are worlds apart from some people, especially the rich and famous. But love is that powerful force that can bridge these gaps and bring two unlikely people together in a strong bond. At The Chameleon, Turn was written by Victoria Carisimo. It was more than just a love story between a movie star and a small-town midwife.

Ethan was a well-known movie star. But he wasn't happy. He found it hard to trust people because his past heartbreak haunted him. Compelled to go to Adelaide, he met Ariel. She was a very beautiful lady with psychic abilities. He was fascinated by her because she was very much unlike any other woman he had known. She made him do and witness things that he normally would have avoided. Soon, their relationship progressed. But his manager, Scott, was not happy with the romance blossoming between them. So he planned to destroy their relationship. Would he succeed? Would their love be strong enough to overcome this great challenge?

The characters in this book were well-developed and very interesting to read about. Ethan's life as a movie star gave me some insight into what most celebrities feel. He had got the looks, money, and fame, but he didn't quite enjoy the downsides of it. He wanted someone to get to know him and truly love him for who he was and not for his looks, money, or celebrity status. Ariel was a wonderful lady. If everyone had her psychic abilities and her attitude towards people, I think the world's human relationships would be a lot better.

There were things I disliked in this book. Though the characters were well-developed, their features were scattered throughout the book and left for the readers to find out as they read. I did not like the way the book ended. I felt it was incomplete when I finished reading the epilogue. Except for these, the book was excellent. The plot was interesting and engaging in every way.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. Despite the things I disliked, I still gave it a perfect rating. This is because the book had me hooked from the beginning to the end, even though the book was voluminous. I found a few errors. The book was professionally edited. I recommend this book to adults who love romance books. I don't recommend it to young teenagers because of the descriptive sex scenes in the book. I also recommend it to philosophers. There were some bizarre ideas about life and humans in the book which might interest them.

Love is strong emotion that sweeps one off their feet. I hope Scott fails woefully with that plan of his. Great review

There are a lot of people out there like Ethan who find it very difficult to love because of their past experiences. I would love to know how it ended with Ariel.

Wow. I would love to find out if Scott was able to destroy the relationship Ethan had with Ariel. I guess I would have to read this book to find out. Nice review.

Characters like Ethan this book gave a full feel of what and how the life of a celebrity was like. His life was was almost perfect as he had got the looks, money, and fame, but all these didn't come without a price. It was lovely to see how the author carried the readers along. Congratulations on BOTD.

I'm not entirely sure about the story, because I'm not a big fan of this genre. However, I find this review to be fascinating. Perhaps I may consider reading the book in the future.

This book goes into the subject of a movie star's life. However, the relationship between a celebrity and a small town midwife doesn't interest me. But congrats on BOTD!

I love a good romance novel, and this one sounds like an intriguing one! The only reason I would hesitate to read this one is the book's length. There are times we can say a lot in a smaller space. I am going to put this one with my want-to-read books. Thanks for the lovely review!

This story arouses the interest in knowing if the love of Ethan and Ariel will manage to overcome the obstacles that his manager will put in their way. It seems believable that a movie star could find love that way. The good development of the characters is an attractive point. Sounds interesting.
