Praise for Deep Connections:

” Deep Connections is a riveting romantic suspense thriller that will captivate you from the beginning and hold you captive until the end. If you like a scary novel with a twist of paranormal and romance in the mix, then this is the book for you. This is the first book in a series, and the end will leave you hanging and wanting more, only to make you wait for it to be continued in the next book of the series, Dark Connections.”- Kathleen Higgins-Anderson, Jersey Girl Book Reviews

” Deep Connection is a unique thriller that will keep you guessing until the end. Who is stalking Brenna and why? As the layers of mystery unfold, you will be pulled into the twists and turns Ms. Graf has so wonderfully written. Wrapped around the mystery is a love triangle between Brenna, the cute sheriff’s deputy and the handsome Native American lawyer. Who will win her heart and save her from the evil stalking her? Read the book and find out. I had a hard time putting this one down. I am waiting for the sequel as I am sure it will also be a fantastic read.”- Marianne Spitzer, Goodreads.com Reviewer

” This is not a story to read by yourself at night, in a dark and quiet house. Believe me, I tried it, and I actually got a little nervous. It has a good amount of suspense and scariness, and I just couldn’t put it down. I had to know what happened. “-Monica, The Readathon

” This was one of those books that I read in 2 days when I could steal time away from life. And when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about when I’d be able to get back to reading it.  The biggest disappointment, however, comes at the VERY end: When I discovered the story will continue in “Dark Connections” and that I have to wait for it to be released Winter 2013-2013! I want it NOW!”-L. Ocko, Amazon.com Reviewer

This post was most recently updated on August 25th, 2012

Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp, June 26, 2012
Category: Women’s Fiction/ Romance
Tour Dates:  August, 2012
Available in print and eBook, 352 pages

It starts with a bizarre accident. When young and petite Meena literally collides with her strikingly tall boss, Prajay, she takes a nasty fall, but doesn’t count on falling in love with him. So imagine her dismay when he makes an astonishing request. He wants her to craft a personal ad that will help him find a suitable wife, a statuesque, sophisticated Indian-American woman who will complement his remarkable height. Despite Meena’s attraction to Prajay and the complications of balancing work and her “marriage consultant” role, she can’t refuse his assignment. And yet, she comes to some surprising realizations about love, tradition, and the sacrifices she will—and won’t—make to win over her giant.

Advance Praise for The Reluctant Matchmaker:

“One of the best [novels] I’ve read this year. I couldn’t put it down…this book is a gem!” –Mary Monroe, New York Times bestselling author on The Unexpected Son

“Compelling and memorable.” —Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author on The Forbidden Daughter

“Vivid, rich…expertly portrays a young woman caught between love and duty, hope and despair.” —Anjali Banerjee on The Dowry Bride

“Dazzles you with a taste of Desi culture in America.” —Caridad Piñeiro

Praise for Shobhan Bantwal’s The Full Moon Bride:

“I enjoyed The Full Moon Bride – it had all the heart and wisdom I’ve come to expect from Shobhan Bantwal’s books, as well as the discussion of contemporary issues facing Indians today. I thought Soorya was an excellent character, I so enjoyed watching her grow and learn so much about herself and the world around her. This was a light, quick novel that fans of multicultural and women’s fiction definitely should pick up.“- S. Krishna’s Books

“I very highly recommend this book. The story is beautifully written with characters that seem so real and are very easy to relate to. I loved Soorya from the very start and I was rooting for her the whole way through. I was totally pulled into her story right from the beginning and could not put it down. No matter what nationality, religion or culture you are from, I think you’ll care about these characters and relate to them in some way. It is a lovely story about family, different cultures, relationships, love and romance. I really enjoyed Ms Bantwal’s writing and would definitely look for more of her work in the future!”-Life In Review, Michelle Vasquez

“Ms. Bantwal has formulated a treasure of words for an engaging read remaining long after the final scene has been deliciously absorbed. Frankly I cannot tell if I am more enamored by Soorya or the author herself. The author has obviously internalized the emotions of her character leaving the impression that the line between writer and actor is an invisible one. I thoroughly enjoyed The Full Moon Bride for the emotion, education, and entertainment. What I appreciate most is the total lack of manipulation I felt while being led through Soorya’s awakening of herself and the man she loves. In summary The Full Moon Bride is sophisticated, eloquent, and difficult to put down and cements a lasting impression.- Suspektme, Coffee Time Romance

“I couldn’t stop reading The Full Moon Bride. Even though I had a pretty good guess about which man Soorya would end up with, there were plenty of plot twists to keep me reading. I loved Soorya’s spunkiness, and her struggle to reconcile the modern, professional side of her personality with the traditional, good-girl side.  I highly recommend The Full Moon Bride.”- Susan Meim
