This beautiful collection of poetry and prose on topics including love, friendship, romance, relationships, and self-love is wonderfully written. The book is laid out in sections to make it easy to follow and there is also the addition of some small illustrations. There were many pieces which were relatable and moved me, a couple of my favourites included One Memory and My Friend. Highly recommend!
As expected, the poems in ‘Caught in Passion’ written by Samantha Beardon, a poetry tutor, and mentor in Motivational Strips, were delightful to read. The book contained poems on Friendship, Romance, and Love which all make you think and transport you into other worlds. I loved the book description on Amazon that was also written in poetic form. The book cover is beautiful. One poem named’ Fantasy Love’ caught my attention and I will quote a few lines from it. “Our lives overlap With a big thunderclap. We share our views and other things too. I am attracted to your charm. It acts like a balm. It soothes my life during trouble and strife. We stay in a place where maybe we are safe. We share the best and don’t see the rest. It’s lovely to be in this fantasy. It’s attractive, exciting, and oh so inviting. Shame it’s only a dream.” This is Samantha’s third book of poetry and I recommend it to all.
Insight and truth are considered the domain of philosophers, psychologists, and music stars. The poet is too often overlooked. Poetry is emotions, yes?. Yet, Samantha Beardon couples insight, truth, and emotion in "Caught In Passion". Not a text book nor the Notebook, Caught In Passion a journey thorough friendship, romance and love, desire, beliefs, loving the self, relationship stumbling blocks, love lost (also the sections in her book) with the mind of a philosopher and the passion of the poet. Will this book make you think? Yes. Will it make you feel? Yes. Will you see yourself on many pages. Yes. What's wrong with that? Isn't that exactly why you read? Read this book. As the title of the review says, I was caught up in the passion of Samantha's 'Caught In Passion'.
