Tour: Majestic Pearls by Katija O





Book: Majestic Pearls
Author: Katija O Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis
Some believe in fate others not so ...
Who would think that a simple car accident could determine someone's destiny?
But when Mia Tandy meets Nicholas Devlin their world's are changed.
Falling in love should be simple, should be natural and joyous but, as they are from different world's,  there are many obstacles thrown in their way.
There is one thing that no one can control and that is undying love. Fate has brought these two together, and class is keeping them apart.
What they don't realize is  ... they are somehow connected.
One person holds the piece to this puzzle.
A secret from yesteryear and a certain string of pearls holds the key.  These secrets not only are the key to a old romance but a key to their destiny.

Hooked on Books Review:
 
For Mia and Nicholas, a relationship for them was going to be an up hill trek.   Beginning with the different social classes they were from.  Nicholas wasn't like that with Mia, but he knew his inner circle of family and friends would be that way.  His family arranging his life, a job, a girlfriend he was expected to marry.  These were not choices he had made. 
Mia had left her fiancé after finding out he had been cheating on her.  She left to start a new life for herself.  Going to the university, working at the coffee shop and living in an apartment that her Grandmother left.  The first time she met Nicholas was not a happy event.  He crashed into her car, broke her phone.  But he stepped up and took care of the car, got her a new phone and met one amazing girl. 
Trying to get to know each other was uncomfortable at times, but both enjoyed being with the other.  As their friendship grew, so did their feelings for each other, but outside influences have a way of getting their way. 
After Mia is attacked by her stalker ex fiancé, with help from Nicholas' girlfriend, they come together once again, but after misinterpretations of what was said between the two, we are left wondering, will they make it back to each other?   There is a lot of betrayal, lies and expectations in this story, but also friendships, love, support and family.

 
Author Bio
Not to stray from the common Author cliché, I loved to read as a child – I actually excelled in reading from a young age.  This was definitely to my advantage.  In saying that I only enjoyed reading “happily ever after stories.”
As I grew older my pleasures turned to “teen romance stories” with the obvious transition being heavy love stories and of course Jackie Collins’ novels.
Then due to relationship and work commitments my reading all but ceased until my children were at an age where I could steal and hour or two (which then became an hour or four). 
A few years ago I discovered the Twilight Saga, this kept my thoroughly entertained for years as I read and re-read numerous times… Enter 50 Shades.  I think the fact that these books were written by amateur writers stirred something inside of me.
A few years ago my dear mother passed away, I became really lost —books became my saviour.  They took me to a very special place … away from reality.   One night I had this dream, it was so vivid in my mind that when I awoke it was fresh and alive.  It just kept growing and growing and that’s when Majestic Pearls was born.  I've not looked back since.
Music is my passion, I love it! Though it needs to be genre’s from the fifties through to the eighties.  Everything I do is done to music from my writing through to my housework—it soothes my soul.
I also have full time duties with my husband (fourth child) and our family business and three sons which all keeps me on my toes, there’s never a dull moment around my house.
Living in the beautiful Melbourne Australia, we have an abundance of restaurants and café’s which is my other passion … coffee dates with my wild and wacky high school friends … after thirty plus years we still catch up regularly and have a wild time.  All of these people and my large family form my circle … a circle that I love and are thankful to have.
