Captivated By You: Raizada Brothers, Book 1
She was mere collateral… until she became an obsession.
Misha Patel, a college topper and an avid reader, is living peacefully until her only sister messes up at work. Her sister owes her mafia boss, Vihaan, a huge debt, and now, he’s out for her life. Until fate intervenes, and she ends up as collateral in exchange for her sister’s life.
Misha detests Vihaan for who he is and everything he stands for. So why does she feel a mysterious pull toward him… A pull that only gets stronger as she starts to know him? The way he stares at her makes her soul sear with a passion she has never experienced before. His darkness allures her and threatens to consume her. Being with him is an experience she cannot get enough of.
But what does she mean to him? Is she just a plaything, or does he feel more for her? Can she forget everything and accept being a part of his dark world?
Vihaan Raizada, a lone wolf, lives life on his own terms. He runs a successful crime organisation with no room for women or relationships. That’s until she stumbles into his life. The circumstances leading to their meeting are unexpected, but so are the fireworks he experiences when their eyes meet for the very first time.
Misha is just collateral, but soon, she becomes an obsession he can’t get enough of. She is different from the rest. Innocent yet fierce, she ignites a fire in him that craves for more. But his life isn’t a bed of roses. When his past comes back to threaten his empire, he is faced with the dilemma of losing everything he holds dear, including her.
Will he be able to save his Misha and his empire, or will he have to choose between them? Will their relationship withstand the storm, or will it come crumbling down?

❤️🔥❤️🔥Captivated By You❤️🔥❤️🔥
Two completely different people from completely different worlds were thrown together: one was the normal, innocent girl, and the other was the King of the Dark World. They shared only one relationship, which was a collateral just like any other commodity, and one was a master as per the arrangement.
Misha Patel was the innocent, fierce, and beautiful 21-year-old college student who considered her elder sister as her world; she was her only family. Jasmine was supposed to protect her younger sister, but instead she threw her in the pit of Vihaan Raizada's world, which was completely dark.
Vihaan was a cold-hearted, broody, arrogant, and handsome Mafia boss who was also a successful businessman and someone who could change the world at the snap of his fingers, but one look at the innocent beauty and he was trapped in her forever. Misha, although she knew that he was from a completely different world, was still fascinated by his aura.
In spite of their personalities being completely different, they both felt intense attraction for each other, which eventually led to something meaningful. Their blazing and sizzling chemistry was definitely the highlight of this story. Their passionate encounter was hot, but Vihaan Raizada's life was a bed of thorns, and his past haunted him.
His archenemy was out and challenging him openly. Would he be able to claim her in front of the world? Would he be able to keep her away from his dark world, or would she be dragged along in his darkness?
Misha, who was an innocent soul, would be able to stay by his side in his dark world?
I loved the way the story progressed; the character development of Misha was worth reading, and the protective side of Vihaan was so well portrayed as someone who would go to any extent to keep his people safe and sound.
The story was fresh, with so many twists and turns that kept me hooked throughout the read.
Ahaan was a surprise character for me; Ridhaan seemed to be the complete opposite of his elder brother, and knowing who would be his leading lady, his story would be thrilling as he would be declaring war openly.
Eagerly waiting for the stories of other Raizada brothers.
Overall, it was an interesting and thrilling read.

Vihaan Raizada, the leader of a crime organisation, doesn’t have time for love or anything that distracts him from his goal of revenge until he sees her for the first time. Misha's innocence-filled eyes hold him captive from the first time their eyes clash. So now, when her sister gets caught stealing Vihaan’s money, she offers Misha to him, for him to do whatever he likes with her. Who would be foolish enough to let go of that opportunity? Apart from the attraction, he also feels weirdly protective of her, something that he hasn’t felt for any woman until her. Will she just be his plaything, or will she become his obsession?
Misha and Vihaan are adorable together. His dialogues are sassy, and hers beats his. I love the conversation between them. The plot is smooth but has twists here and there. Personally, I liked that I got to read a lot of scenes between Misha and Vihaan while still having a good storyline. The characters are well-developed. Even if there were only a few scenes about the other brothers, I’ve grown to like them, and I am excited to read their stories.
Billionaire, mafia, age gap—if you like these tropes, you can give this book a chance. It is a great read, and I enjoyed reading every second of it.

🦋 Misha Patel is a young college student. She lives with her sister Jasmine.
🦋 Vihaan Raizada is a mafia and the Eldest son of the Raizadas.
🦋 Jasmine works for Vihaan at his casino. She has cheated Vihaan and has offered Misha as compensation till she can rectify her doings.
🦋 Vihaan never agrees to such deals but one glance at Misha and he is mesmerized by her innocence and beauty.
What will Misha do? Agree to stay with the mafia or run away? Will Jasmine keep up her part of the deal? Will Vihaan be able to keep Misha with him knowing all the dangers that lurk around him?
A captivating story, of love, betrayal, and trust. The story flows nicely keeping you engaged till the end. Misha's character was so realistic, her innocence and the way she trusts her loved ones are shown well. Vihaan as the brooding Mafia is soo hot. The way he takes care of Misha is very adorable. Loved their chemistry, my favorite scene is when Misha pushes vihaan in the pool 🤣. Overall a great read. Highly recommended to all romance lovers. Waiting to read about the other Raizada Brothers.

Beautifully done
Misha & Vihaan are very interesting singular characters and their coming together sets for a soft story amidst the dark setting of mafia. Loved the other characters introduced and I'm expecting their individual stories in future. Jasmine really stayed with me despite her ambiguous character arc. She deserved a happy ending for the years she spent in raising Misha I feel.

It's so beautifully written and is so captivating that you just cannot leave it once you have started.
The character growth of Misha is commendable and Vihaan, the bad boy had my heart from the word go. I loved his intensity, dedication, and passion.
The bond between the brothers, the twists, and the suspense keeps you glued to the story. Waiting for Ridhaan's story now!!
Overall, a total entertainer!

Waiting for other books in this series.⭐⭐⭐⭐

A big sister is your mother and friend alike. But what if the big sister, for her own selfish reasons, time and again, throws you to the wolves? Unbelievable, right?
Misha comes home one day to find her sister, Jasmine at gunpoint by a Mafia don, Vihaan Raizada for wrongdoing. Shocked, she misses the intense looks Vihaan throws her way, but Jas doesn’t. Seizing the opportunity to save herself, she proposes to give Misha as security to Vihaan in exchange for sparing her life and returning the money she stole from him. Captivated by Misha’s fierceness, Vihaan agrees. Misha, unwillingly blackmailed by her sis, and with the promise that she will bring her back home soon, agrees reluctantly for her only family’s sake. Thus, Misha steps into the world of Vihaan, which is way different from the ordinary, struggling life she is used to. How does she gel with Vihaan? How does Vihaan treat her? Do they give in to the attraction simmering between them?
Meanwhile, Vihaan has to protect his empire and exact revenge on his arch enemy. Will Vihaan be able to protect Misha and himself from this revenge power game?
A fan of Pooja’s evocative writing, I long to read her books as she paints imagery with her attention to detail in her prose. And she’s aced it with this story. Along with a strong plot, I love the way the central characters evolve in the story; Misha from introvert to fierce, and Vihaan from stoic to romantic. The way Misha accepts Vihaan despite the circumstances they met is a beautiful read. Their chemistry is smouldering, and their intimacy scorching hot. Every character is wonderfully sketched, but for me, Vihaan takes the cake. He is gorgeous, broody, your bad boy, but one look at Misha, and he’s smitten. The way he changes himself and bends his rules for his Pearl, Misha is oh so romantic. He stands like a rock, protecting Misha from the world. Another highlight for me are the brothers, Ridhaan and Ahaan. His repartee with a goofy and hot Ridhaan is funny and cute, and I just know Ahaan is gonna be a fire-cracker. I look forward to Ridhaan’s story next. A romantic thriller filled with love and revenge, it’s a must read.
