THE ADORABLE PROD is a beautiful collection of three romantic and women-oriented stories that portray love and women's strength. Women are the epitome of strength, love, tolerance, and patience. They may be fragile physically, but they are headstrong and rigid regarding what they believe. When she is loved and respected, she surrenders the entire world to the one who loves her. At the same time, if she is treated with hatred, and disrespect she can destroy the entire world. Similarly, love is a pure and unique feeling. Love makes life magical and beautiful. But when love changes to lust, it loses its meaning and becomes toxic. One can sacrifice life in love, but it is the most dangerous thing when done for some selfish reason. This book amazingly describes these feelings which three most bold, beautiful, and amazing women underwent. It defines how they deal with a difficult situation and how they emerge as the winners.
