Book Review - The Smitten Husband by Sundari Venkatraman

Ram! Ram! Ram!   (couldn't help he is too good, drool worthy)


That is exactly what I said after I read the book.

What would happen if you get married and realise your partner got into the relationship unwillingly?

Ram, the man with a mischievous tone to his character is so smitten by the girl his parents arranged for him to get married that he didn’t realise that he forgot to ask if she felt at least a little interest in him. (Heart breaks when he realizes he had taken her interest for granted) A very straight forward man finds himself in a abyss.( My lips droop as I see him suffer) 

Sapna very beautiful woman who due to her families financial situations is not able to pursue higher studies but soon finds her passion in mehendi art. She puts beautiful mehandi designs for brides and her relatives. She enjoyed every bit of it and helped her family monetarily. She was waiting for her prince charming to come and sweep her off her feet but Ram had come as a proposal brought by their astrologer. Her strength and head strong nature is beautifully portrayed when she tells her husband she is not going to be his wife in reality. 
But slowly she is pulled towards her patient husband. Ram’s patience and understanding is so heart touchingly expressed.( My eyes shine with stars for Ram) When he finds Sapna in his room wrapped just in her towel instead of rushing to her with all the turbulent need suppressed in him for so long he just opens his arms for her to decide. (A true gentleman and now I have hearts in my eyes for him)  That moment will be with me for quite some time. 
But yes and a but again... I am finding it very hard to wait for Laxman's story Ram’s brother, the silent type and you know the silent type can be intense and complicated. Please Sundari Venkatraman ..... The wait is really hard.


Blurb:

Ram Maheshwari is a successful jewellery designer who has a huge showroom on MI Road, Jaipur. He’s tall, dark, handsome and a billionaire to boot. He’s twenty-nine and falls in with his parents’ wishes when they try to arrange his marriage.


The lovely, stormy-eyed Sapna Purohit is from Pushkar. She’s managed to finish school and makes a living by doing mehendi designs during weddings. She’s always dreamt of a Prince on a white horse, sweeping her off her feet.

One look into Sapna’s grey eyes and Ram is lost. Only, Sapna is unable to see her Prince in Ram. Being from a poor family, she has no choice but to go along with the tide when the Maheshwaris offer to bear all expenses of the wedding. 

Does that mean that the feisty Sapna is all set to accept Ram as her husband? She puts forth a condition, after the wedding. Will the smitten husband agree to it?

*MARRIAGES MADE IN INDIA is a five-novella series that revolves around the characters you have met in The Runaway Bridegroom.

The book are available in Amazon.com , Amazon.in and the Goodreads.com.

Book Review: Destined by Rubina Ramesh

Why should a woman be made to choose? Why can’t she choose both, duty and Love? When the burden of pain and the fear of losing your love is bearing upon you, just the presence of someone next to you is too valuable. Esha’s struggle to be strong as she stood by her father in his battle with cancer, and the Deja vu she experiences is heart wrenching. And trust me, I was so engrossed in her pain that I was shocked at my desire to hit Ayush. Out of the blue came a marriage proposal, a contractual marriage for six months, meant to benefit her father’s treatment and to remove the complications in Rohan’s life. What they both didn’t see coming (to the delight of my two doppelgangers—the one in white with a halo on top of her head and the one in black with red horns) was the intense attraction between them. The brewing friendship, companionship, intimacy, and finally love was perfect. Not even a second of dullness. The book holds you to Esha and Rohan’s romance till the end. ...

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. (one of me in black and with two red horns shining on the head and a trident by my one shoulder and the other one of me in white with all feathe...
