About this eBook

Eighteen-year-old Liam Whelan, an Irish royal empath, has been searching for his elusive soulmate. The rare union will cement his family's standing in empath politics and afford the couple legendary powers, while also making them targets of those seeking to oust them. Laxshmi Kapadia, an Indian-American high school student from a traditional family, faces her mother's ultimatum: Graduate early and go to medical school, or commit to an arranged marriage. When Liam moves next door to Laxshmi, he's immediately and inexplicably drawn to her. In Liam, Laxshmi envisions a future with the freedom to follow her heart. Liam's father isn't convinced Laxshmi is "The One" and Laxshmi's mother won't even let her talk to their handsome new neighbor. Will Liam and Laxshmi defy expectations and embrace a shared destiny? Or is the risk of choosing one's own fate too great a price for the soulmated?

Ratings and reviews

Imagine a guy so sensitive, so emotionally tuned in, that he knows exactly how you're feeling all the time without having to be told. It's a nice fantasy, right? Now imagine he's also devastatingly handsome and speaks with a cute Irish accent. Are you melting yet? This is Liam, the male POV in Soulmated, and he happens to be one of the most powerful empaths in the world. Liam comes to America in search of his soulmate, and he soon encounters Lucky, a highly relatable Indian girl who might just be the one. Sparks fly. Much kissing ensues... There's plenty of conflict and intrigue to keep the plot clicking along, but the chemistry between Liam and Lucky is the star of the show. Swoon!

A fascinating world with fantastic characters!
