Taein Kim, affectionately known as “Blondie”, is an incredibly talented young man and leader of the rookie K-Pop group Eclipse. Tae has his whole life and career in front of him, but it comes to a screeching halt when a standard meet and greet leads to him finding his soulmate, a foreign girl named after the goddess of love.
Venus Woods is the young heiress of the largest tech corporation in Southeastern America. Her life revolves around meaningless events and empty white walls, devoid of color and purpose. She never thought she would meet her favorite idol group, Eclipse, let alone form the incredibly rare soulmate bond with their leader. As if that’s not life-changing enough, her absent mother is determined to have the two married, using her daughter as a bargaining chip.
Separated by lifestyle, culture, and language, the teens have wall after wall between them. None of it stops the blossom of love that blooms in their hearts when they lock eyes under the cover of a thunderstorm.
My Thoughts:
Venus is not your average teenager. One thing that was apparent was how loney she is. Taein is a young man under a lot of pressure. Going in I thought this was going to be a cute boy meets girl but this author decides to hit me with a surprise.
This is a story where there may be cultural differences but our couple do have some things in common. As I was getting to know Taein and his friends, first group I thought of was BTS. I think that anyone that’s crushing on the group and their music may enjoy this story. There’s some fantasy to this so don’t expect everything to seem realistic.
We have a great blend of real life and the unbelievable. We have a love that transcends language and age. It’s hard to believe that this book is only the second book this author has had published. She has a very bright future ahead of her. I think you will find that this is a book that would appeal from young adult to not quite so young. It was a nice change from what I normally read and it will be interesting to see where this young lady will take this series.
