About the book
I have my own successful business, a car, an apartment in an upscale neighborhood, success, and recognition. I can afford anything I want — yet none of it makes me truly happy. Because my life is missing the most important thing: love. After a betrayal in my youth, I swore off relationships for good. But then he appears, and everything gets even more complicated. We can’t be together — everyone calls him a gigolo because of his difficult circumstances. Yet I can no longer fight my feelings.

valentina-kovalenko03.01.2025, 22:13I usually read about isekai and shapeshifters. You are the first author whose ordinary novels I’ve read. I couldn’t put it down, and at the end, I cried. This is a wonderful story. You’re amazing.

valera-dorovic21.12.2022, 15:32I noticed that, just like in "The Path of Fate," the plot starts with the betrayal of a loved one. Is this the author's "signature"? :) It reads easily, the heroine's emotions are fitting and harmoniously emphasize and enhance the plot, which I, as a reader, find very interesting to follow. Comparing the synopsis and what I've already read, I'm surprised that anyone could consider a hero who works two jobs a freeloader. Well, maybe only malicious tongues :))) By the way, the cover of the novel is not typical for Booknet, but I really like the gold on black.
anitka-sannifeo22.12.2022, 02:59Valera Dorovych, Valera, thank you sincerely for such a detailed review :) The betrayal of a loved one is indeed present in both stories, but it's not my signature theme, as in other books, the plot is somewhat different. However, this topic is personally painful for me. Regarding the gigolo, you rightly noticed the malicious tongues who think that a single man with a child chased after a self-sufficient woman)) Special thanks for the cover, as I made it myself in the Canva app)
roman-tixii08.12.2022, 23:57Written quite realistically. Feelings emerge and develop gradually, as they do in real life. It reads easily; I didn’t even notice how I read a third of the story. There are still two-thirds ahead, which means there will be plenty of twists and turns. Especially since two contenders have appeared! The annotation slightly spoils the intrigue by clearly hinting at whom Oksana will choose, or perhaps it deliberately misleads, and the ending will be completely different from what is expected? That would be cool and quite unconventional.
anitka-sannifeo09.12.2022, 11:01Roman Tykhyi, Thank you very much for the feedback))) I'm glad you liked the story. I won't spoil anything)) Happy reading:))
sofiia-viterec04.12.2022, 22:40I started reading and couldn't stop))) It's so captivating...))) The details of the characters' lives are wonderfully thought out, and the dialogues feel truly alive. There's none of that artificiality that doesn't fit real life, and that's really cool))) The cover is very beautiful and conveys the atmosphere of the book itself))) The summary is also really great)))
anitka-sannifeo05.12.2022, 00:15Sofia Viterets, Hi)) Thanks for the feedback:) I'm glad you liked it. Some moments are based on real events:)
kseniia-demidenko26.11.2022, 22:43Hello from the marathon! A wonderful romantic story about complicated relationships. I liked it. Firstly, I liked the title. I love unconventional titles. Yours is something like "Pardon Impossible to Execute"))) I would like a brighter cover, but yours completely matches the theme of the work. The annotation is well-written, except for the tautology with "all." Time jumps are a great technique that adds dynamics. It was pleasant to follow the relationships of the characters; love triangles are everything to us))) What bothered me were the Russianisms. The book was probably translated, which is why I noticeably stumble upon Russian words like "basket," "dragged," "cat." With some editing, everything will be wonderful. Good luck to you, an easy pen, and light!
anitka-sannifeo27.11.2022, 04:20Ksenia Demydenko, Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you liked the story :)) Yes, the title is indeed in the style of that expression :) Thank you for the tip, I've adjusted the annotation :)) The book was originally written in Ukrainian, but since I mostly lived in a Russian-speaking environment - Crimea, Odesa - sometimes I don't notice when Russian slips into my works. I'll make corrections, thank you ❤️
galina-levter25.11.2022, 00:00Indeed, this book is a pleasant read on a day off, in a free moment. I sat down and immersed myself in Ksyu's life. The first chapter hooked me with its realism. So I keep reading. Because for women, more than money, love is needed, and more than love—loyalty and confidence in a partner.
anitka-sannifeo25.11.2022, 06:52Halyna Levter, Halyna, thank you for your comment and support ❤️ Yes, love and support are more important than any money :)
inna-turianska20.11.2022, 23:31Your book reads very easily. The descriptions wonderfully convey the mood; it feels like I'm watching a movie, not reading a book. Your style is very clear because sometimes you read and don’t understand the characters’ emotions or wonder what the author meant. What did they want to say with this, or something like that... with you, everything is clear and easy. I really felt those emotions of pain and betrayal in the first chapter, Oksana’s despair. Her courage is impressive. And the fact that she took the cat with her ❤. Well done! She went through a tough journey and still achieved success. But for some reason, the cover seems too gray to me; the text is so warm, but the image feels a bit cold. And there are some grammatical errors here and there, but that’s okay)) it happens to everyone) I’m sure I have them too) in the annotation, in my opinion, the word "everything" is used too much)) but that’s just my perspective. Overall, the story is great, I like it. Good luck))
anitka-sannifeo20.11.2022, 23:46Inna Turianska (Innaturianska), Thank you very much for such a warm and detailed review! I'm glad that you liked the story and that I managed to convey the emotional state of the characters :) Yes, unfortunately, even after edits, some mistakes remain. I will reread and make corrections.
natalka-ceresnia07.11.2022, 23:02Greetings from the marathon! A high-quality classic SLR. Perhaps a bit similar to a Christmas story :) Well, that's because it's short. It should find its fans. Just correct "komandyrovka" to "vidryadzhennia," and "Misha" to "Misha" or "Mykhailo." The cover and annotation - everything matches the genre. Good luck!
anitka-sannifeo07.11.2022, 23:42Natalka Chereshnya, Thank you very much for the feedback:)) I'm glad you like it:) Special thanks for the tips, I will make the corrections ❤️
tetiana-mironcak17.10.2022, 13:17Thank you..
anitka-sannifeo17.10.2022, 13:26Tetyana Myronchak, And thank you for your attention to this story:)
lore-leia08.10.2022, 16:09The story is wonderful, romantic, and interesting because I read 12 chapters instead of the required 5 in one breath) There are some mistakes, but I can't tell if it's due to translation difficulties or maybe typos) I have the same problem myself, so everything can be fixed if desired) I hope everything will be fine for Oleksandr with the heroine because I really liked him) Wishing you success and inspiration!
anitka-sannifeo09.10.2022, 04:02Lore Leya, Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm glad you liked the story) This story was written directly in Ukrainian, so there might be some typos and mistakes. I’ll reread and look for them) Thank you!
