Carlos and Iris were connected in so many ways, and they loved themselves deeply. However, they had different dreams. While Iris is ready to settle down and have kids, Carlos claims he is married to his job. When Carlos breaks her heart, Eddie is there for her. As stable as it is, a marriage to Eddie leaves Iris craving for more.

Carlos comes back, and Iris knows that she wants to be with him. However, she cannot bring herself to break Eddie's heart. Unknown to her, her "harmless" husband already knows about her sexual escapade and will stop at nothing till he ruins her.

Marriage: The Severed Contact by Carl Senior has an interesting storyline. It mirrors the true situations of relationships. Sometimes, we don't get it all. The person who offers us spontaneity and thrill may not offer us stability. The one who offers us stability may seem to be boring. I enjoyed reading about the love triangle, as I was eager to see how it will end. In addition, I liked the female character, Iris. She was vulnerable and sympathetic. Even when she didn't feel so much for her husband, she tried not to break his heart, as she recognized that every person deserves to be happy.

As interesting as this storyline was, I felt it was grossly underdeveloped. The conversations seemed very unrealistic. I found it hard to believe that a partner could keep a pregnancy for seven months without telling her boyfriend with whom she had no problems. After the breakup, I'm not certain Iris reacted in a way I expected her to, and I do not positively mean this. It felt as if I was force-fed at some point. In one chapter, Iris is breaking up with Carlos, and in the next chapter, she has already been married to Eddie for three years. The line of actions seemed to happen so fast, and this interfered with my reading experience. Also, this book had too many errors; it was not professionally edited. For all these reasons, I rate this book 2 out of 4 stars. I did not rate it lower because it had an interesting storyline that kept me glued till the end.

Readers should take note that there are a lot of adventurous sexual scenes in this book. I recommend this book to lovers of romance. If you like a short story with a love triangle, then this book is for you.

The story of love will never become outdated because at any point, it comes with fresh knowledge on how to choose our partners. This is a good romance novel, I am reading it.

I agree with your doubt about being able to hide a pregnancy for seven months. I don't think this book is for me, but I appreciate your honest review.

I am a lover of romance and it is true that there's no perfect way to marriage or relationships. The person who offers spontaneity may truly not offer stability. Though I might not read the book due to the errors you stated are in it, it's still has an impressive plot. Nice review.

I wonder who Ellie will choose. It sounds like a very interesting read. Pity about the fact that it was underdeveloped. Great review though!
