The Price of Fame

Author: Hanshi van Weenen
Review: Barry Peat
If you are looking for your next exciting new book, or you’re a fan of romance with a thrilling edge, involving adventure, jeopardy, and redemption – then look no further. Hanshi’s latest novel, ‘The Price of Fame’ will pull you in deeper as the plot unfolds.
After a chance meeting brings together a beautiful young Slovak woman and a best-selling billionaire author, it seems like a match made in Heaven. Following a whirlwind romance, Scott and Viveca Hamilton set off on a 16,000-mile road trip around the stunning coast of Australia – fulfilling a lifelong dream.
With dazzling beaches, dramatic cliffs and nights spent under a star-studded sky, life seems idyllic; but what happens next will take your breath away. ‘The Price of fame’ isn’t a story for the faint-hearted – it’s a tale of love, adventure, and shocking twists that will keep you turning the pages.
The pace of the book soon takes an abrupt turn as jealousy and evil rear their ugly heads in the form of Sebastian, recently escaped from a mental asylum and his perverted accomplice. Consequently, Scott and Viveca’s lives are thrown into turmoil and both must find the strength and resolve to survive their heart-wrenching and emotional ordeal.
This is a story primarily about the resilience and bravery of a woman, deeply in love and determined not to succumb to the desires and intentions of her protagonists – and I am sure will be especially enjoyed by women readers.
There are surprises and shocks along the way which keep you engrossed to the end – before a gripping climax unfolds.
