Book Review - Her Secret Husband by Sundari Venkatraman **********THE BEACON… RED LIGHTS… ALARMS …  BIG BIG BIG Spoiler ALERT…. “What if I need you desperately?” “Do you love me or just lust after my body?” “Can’t I do both?" Phew….. I am already feeling hot. And I have just read page 24 which is just the excerpt before the novel begins in the book. (exasperated…) So what am I doing writing? Good question. Cause unlike normal book reviews (psssst I doubt my reviews usually are normal .. my eyes  rolling up lips turning at one side) here I thought, (wicked glint in my eyes) a running commentary for a change ;-) And guess it’s a surprise for all romance lovers especially Sundari Venkatraman’s avid readers. The book has been released just about an hour ago, I couldn’t help myself and I grabbed the kindle copy from amazon.

Just as I had mentioned earlier when reviewed the first book I wanted more on other characters.

Here it all changed completely.( My antennas up, eyes sparkly)  Nick stood firm to his principles. He loved her like crazy but he didn't let her wrap him around
