The Wrong Bride by Catharina Maura
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The actual bride

This was my first book by the author. The book just popped up on recommendation after reading another Indian book series based on arranged marriage. Initially I was hesitant to select this book as I just finished a similar troupe but the author just swayed me away.

In the story of Ares and Raven, my heart went out for Raven for what she has been through her life by her mother and devious sister. And Ares, he is just a intelligent fool to not realise what's is right in front of his eyes. I loved the way the story unravelled and scripting. I story telling hooked me up till the end. Though the book is titled "The wrong bride", from the beginning the author was clear to display that Raven must have been the actual bride.

Now after getting a glimpse of Luca and Val in the end of the book, I ready to explore other books of the author.

Twisted Bonds: A Secret Royal Romance by P.G. Van
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sweet and Lovely Bonding

It felt so good to learn how Mihir and Chitra fell in love. Their story was so sweet and realistic. And it was amazing to get a glimpse of all 4 lead couples after a decade. Their kids names were beautiful and meaningful. Though this displayed the happy love life 5 couples, my most favourite is the matured Mihir and Chitra's. The authors have wonderfully displayed the love and affection between a couple who are married for 40 plus years and sacrificed a lot for their children.

Twisted Sins: Arranged Marriage with Stolen Bride by M.V. Kasi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Not a good start but a beautiful ending

Initially, I didn't like the way Rudra Kabali kidnapped her, drugged her and married her without her consent. Though he didn't touch her without her permission, I didn't like the method he used to hold her captive during night. But I had faith on my authors. I knew there must be something hidden behind the hard exterior and it was beautiful. I loved the way he loved Nandhini. From the beginning I liked Nandhini, the Thakvar tigress's fighting spirit. She never gave up and tried every possible way to get her freedom. And her fight didn't stop after getting her freedom but continued for her love. She was the smartest among all the female leads of this series. Both Rudra and Nandhini sacrificed and suffered the pain for the love of their lives and their loved ones. The authors brilliantly unveiled the villain of the series layer by layer and made Rudra the finisher (in cricketing term) of the series. I enjoyed reading it.

Twisted Flames: Arranged Marriage with Wrong Bride by M.V. Kasi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Only Strong Man can handle strong woman

The Story of Guari and Rishabh is one of the such. They met, hate, fought and fell in love. One thing that carried their love is desire which they thought is the only reason for them being together. Gauri Bhil Meena is the strong of the brides from the 3 prominent clans of Signoor other than Thakvar and the only one who was involved in the clan business and duties before being the Thakvar bride. Though she is the wrong bride but Rishabh Thakvar is the correct groom for her. Though the stories of Shivay - Ishani's and Rishabh Gauri had a very minor similarly, I love the later's story more than the former's. I enjoyed reading this dual POV storyline as it helped me connect with both the leads. Kudos to the author who always aces in capturing the readers heart.

Twisted Deceit by P.G. Van
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A nice sequel and carry forward

I did like Nakul and Aadhya's story. As a person who loves contract marriage trope, I enjoyed their love story after the fake-fake-contract marriage. Unlike Shivay's POV in Twisted Alliance, Nakul's POV was very rare making it unable to connect with him.

Twisted Alliance by P.G. Van
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Twisted but beautiful

As Always authors PG Van and MV Kasi has aced in their story telling. Though Ishani was too naive to believe her brother and I had to facepalm for her misconception and actions, I loved the way the authors carry forwarded the love between Ishani and Shivay and kept the readers at edge. Jumping soon into other siblings twisted love stories.

Simha International by Sundari Venkatraman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Feel Good one

Though I'm very late to read this book it was there on my to be read list for long. The Bansal Legacy series is based on three Bansal siblings, each who manage a hotel in different regions. In Simha International, readers can get to read about the story of the eldest sibling Rohit, how he handles any situation in the hotel and his relationship with his duty officer, Tasha. They both are broken and hurt on their own way and their connection goes long back from being acquaintance, becoming friends and giving up to their passion. How they both handle and support each other and nourish their relationship has been beautifully scripted the author. Loved the way of giving naration from everyone's perspective.

Blood Trail by Ruchi Singh
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Perfect Crime Thriller

This book kept me at an edge since the first page. The pace of the story didn't get slow for moment and kept me hooked up. The exchange between the leads Armaan and Trisha was great. They both had different goals and different start but their destination was together. A well scripted decent crime thriller with proper measurement of romance and humour.

Reckless Promise by M.V. Kasi
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The secret crush of the secret meddler

Seeing Neelima Raj as the strict Dean lady of the Simha University, it was refreshing to see her softer side as the student and even as the woman she was. At the end of Reckless Hate when Neelima was getting ready for a dinner with Aravind Roy, I wished to read the read the story and thanks to the author's for making the wish of many reader come true. Waiting to read more such books from the duo as individual and collaboration.
