A rollercoaster ride!

Inaya, I admire your resilience, bouncing back stronger despite life's challenges, and your unwavering love for him.

Aahil, you captured a piece of my heart by orchestrating the pieces to fall where they belonged, reclaiming her despite your mistakes, and cherishing her the right way.

Aahil and Inaya are bound by marriage, yet their hearts remain distant, one blinded by revenge and the other lost in life's challenges. They share a past that eroded their trust in love. He continues to unravel knots of hatred, while her scarred heart fights against injustice, determined to prove she won't bear it silently this time. The story's twists, realizations, mysterious revelations, and the journey of healing unfold. I appreciate how he rectifies his mistakes through words and gestures. Mending hearts takes time and patience, and they invest it all to make it work. The tale's villain adds spice, and the chase compels the king and queen to unite, forming an unprecedented power. I find their love rocky, pure, and admire the way they care for each other. Aahil might have gained my hatred through his deeds initially, but he made up for it through his genuine care and sincere heart. Things get overwhelming with so much happening around, but fit perfectly when slowly the blurred pieces fall back into the puzzle. Farhaana has crafted a thrilling plot, taking readers on a rollercoaster ride. A good read!

“𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬; 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐮𝐬"

Now, I'm posting about a book that not only sucked me in but also kept me bog down in the drama and angst. To be frank, I was pulled into this story from page one, ins't an apt description, I think I may have been lured in while getting to know about the plot and characters.

Book introduces us Inaya Mirza who never had an easy life, she's always struggled, either with being neglected by their own family, dealing with hatred and facing innumerable amounts of humiliation from her husband whom she once thought will protect her from everyone. The author portrayed her character as a strong,feisty, successful woman who never been one to let anything get her down. I just love how feisty Inaya is, she's not one to back down or scare easily.

I really appreciate the fast-moving storyline. Book starts with Inaya getting married to Aahil, whom she loved dearly in the past but also whom humiliated her so bad. One misunderstanding seperated them but after 10 years without option shw was getting married to him because of her father.

“𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘂𝗽𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁"

The book delves deep into their relationship, how the love-hatred turned into "touch her/him and die" Kinda trope. I really loathe Aahil at the beginning, he made sure to punish her and started throwing tantrums. Inaya tugged at my heart strings. She had suffered so much but deep down, she only wants to survive, loved and accepted, but doesn’t trust easily. There are so many over the top drama scenes that I was just hooked from page one!

“𝐄𝐠𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬. 𝐈𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝.”

I loved the found family concept, the book taught us to value friendship, relationship and family. Each of the characters had me curious, and I was hoping to discover more about them as the story unfolds. I loved the little ones, Ryan and Riya.

Also there's more than one love story here, I found myself curious about what is really going on between some of the side characters. I loved how the author portrayed brother-sister relationship, it makes me want to know more about Zayn's side of story. Also I loved the scenes where both Aahil and Inaya supported each other till the end, even though he acted like he didn't care deep down readers know how hard he's trying to contemplate it.

"𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐨, 𝐇𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐢."

The tension between them is off the charts, even when their enmity is at its height, you can just see deeper into it. Their interaction leave you with swooning over. So yeah it is one of those books!

I can't tell you enough to read this!

This book made me trust Farhaana's work and put her name in my "Auto-buy Authors" list.

I am absolutely in love Inaya's character. I admire how she built herself to fit in this cruel world, when her own parents didn't supported her. The plot and storyline were amazing. An emotional journey with a the perfect blend of love, hate and redemption. Inaya and Aahil get married under certain circumstances. At first I didn't like Aahil at all, his lack of trust broke both of them. He has sworn to make Inaya's life miserable, and I just hated him for that. But in the later part of the book I liked him, although he is not my favourite. The story has such twists and turns which make it truly engaging through out the read. Their story was a Clean Romance with lots of Struggles, Misunderstanding, Love and Thrills. Danish, Zoya and Harish are my favourite side characters, loved them after Inaya. The best part of the book was exploring the past, and seeing her taking the revenge. These story was about self-discovery, forgiveness, redemption, revenge, and unexpected reunions. The ending of the book was completely unexpected but I loved it! It was a beautiful rollercoaster ride of second chances love. Both of the characters are written incredibly. I liked how there past struggles have been portrayed in the story. I loved it, when he realizes his mistakes and works to win her over. The villain's part added spice to the story. It was an amazing read, if you are a fan of romance, drama, revenge and thriller I will Highly recommend it! I am sure that you won't regret reading it!!

Farhaana, hailing from South India, is a passionate writer drawn to the realms of contemporary romance and crime thrillers. Despite facing life's challenges, she embarked on her storytelling journey in 2019, creating three interactive stories on a gaming platform. By 2022, she authored and published three novels on daily updating platforms. Amidst hurdles, she transcribed her debut novel, a project close to her heart, and recently released it on Amazon. Her mission is clear – defy discouragement and societal expectations as a female author.


Bound by marriage yet separated by wounded hearts, Aahil and Inaya grapple with a shared past that shattered their trust in love. A journey unfolds, filled with twists, revelations, and healing. Aahil's redemption, both in words and actions, is commendable. Mending hearts requires time and patience, and they invest it all. The story's villain adds intrigue, compelling the king and queen to unite against unprecedented challenges. Their love is tumultuous yet pure, and their mutual care is admirable. Aahil may have earned my disdain initially, but his genuine care and sincere heart won me over. Amidst the chaos, the narrative finds its perfect rhythm as the pieces of the puzzle gradually fall into place. Farhaana has skillfully crafted a thrilling plot, taking readers on an engaging rollercoaster ride. A compelling read!

💗 Inaya Mirza ousted by her parents 10 years ago is now the queen and a very strong woman.

💗 Aahil Shah the ruthless king of the Business industry is known for his anger and arrogance of never being wrong.

💗 Inaya and Aahil get married under certain circumstances. The once-lovers but now there is only Hate from Aahil.

💗 He has sworn to make Inaya's life miserable. But Inanya is no longer an innocent girl, she is a warrior.

💗 With all this happening around, there is another danger that is lurking in their lives.

Why does Aahil hate Inaya so much? What happened in the past the Inaya's parents ousted her? Will Aahil and Inaya have a happily ever after or will the past destroy everything again?

A wonderful story about love, family, and trust. The plot and storyline were amazing. Though in the beginning, it's just like a normal love story, as it goes it keeps getting interesting. A page-turner that keeps you on the edge. Inaya was the star of the story . She was just wow. Her pain was heartbreaking. Aahil will definitely not make it to my list of bbf's because of his arrogance and mistrust. The only disappointing thing was there were grammatical errors that could have been checked and rectified. Overall a nice read.

[Book Night Reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was something that I liked a lot. As the story starts, we are introduced to the characters of Inaya and Aahil. They used to be sweethearts ten years back but something caused a drift between them. Now ,they are married for the sake of their family but the hate for each other is still present. That is when, a villain emerged who would do everything to destroy the power couple!

The story was an interesting one. The two characters were equally amazing. It was interesting to read an Indian romance and the characters, their culture, dialogues and everything had that Indian feel to it.

The book was a great romantic work, that dealt with enemies to lovers and marriage of convenience tropes. The spark between both these characters were also evident but Aahil can be seen trying to move past it by focusing his mind on hate towards her.

Al though it was mainly a romance book, it also had suspenseful elements. For instance, what happened between Aahil and Inaya years back was a suspenseful element. There were many other such instances, which made me hooked to this book.

Overall, this book was a great one that made me entertained until the end.

The way this book unfolded was so unexpected for me. Each line hooked me till I finished the whole book. I want to appreciate the author who wrote this book in such Beautiful way. This was the last book I read in 2023 and I must say that it was the best of I read in 2023. The author did a great work which can seen after reading the book.

Inaya relationship with everyone was so beautiful portrayed. The way Inaya character was written was beautiful. Her each and every thing was very well written. Her journey from start to end was really good. I even cried at the end as the book ended. My other favorite characters were Harish, Neil, Danish even the antagonist was well written. The book was roller coaster emotional ride for me. The climax of the book was unexpected. I didn't expected that but it happened and after reading it I was totally surprised.

If you are starting your new year with this book and I am sure that you won't regret reading it. Starting your new year with this book will be great start according to me. So, do give a chance to DAZZLED BRIDE.

Inaaya and Aahil used to be in love, but something split them apart. Years later, they are getting married because of family reasons, even though there's someone trying to harm them. What will happen? Will they get back together? How will they handle the villain? You need to read the book to find out.

Let's talk about Inaaya. She's been through a lot, left on her own, but the way she bounces back is really impressive. I loved her character. And Aahil, well, I didn't like him at first, but when he realizes his mistakes and works to win her over, it's pretty amazing. This is a beautiful rollercoaster ride of second chances, falling in love, and defeating enemies. Definitely worth reading.

“The day I stop loving you would be the day when my world ends. I have never stopped loving you; somewhere in my heart, you have been there.”

“So if I walk towards death, will you be there with me?” She asked. The calmness that she held is no more. “Before you reach there, I will be there as a shield to protect you from it, Inaya.”

[Amreen Shaikh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Childhood love, school love, love at first sight - we have heard so many things about love but when it comes to being in it till eternity becomes challenging isn't 🤷.
Aahil and Inaya were madly in and wanted to be together but Qismat had other plans. 

One misunderstanding and no communication destroyed their chance of being together in love but they got married in uncertain circumstances and later their life was like a rollercoaster where every turn had a secret to reveal and an enemy to defeat. The love story became a revenge story and the love was nowhere to be seen.
They faced many challenges,  ups, and downs, and finally, the biggest twist and their train came back on track. But it's not over yet,  this is just one side of the story the other side is damn scary and full of thrill.

I Would appreciate the author for choosing such a tricky plot and executing it. The revenge game is planned really well. Yes, the romance quotient is a little less but it has a great thriller quotient. The grammar would have been better. But overall it's an enjoyable read.

Book     : Dazzled Bride: Shattered and United by love
Author  : Farhaana Tahseen
Ratings : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story of Inaya and Aahil commenced at a captivating point – their marriage. What ensued was a whirlwind of emotional, heartwarming, and heart-wrenching plot that would captivate readers.

Inaya's character was strong, emotional, yet cold towards her enemies. Aahil Shah, the king of the business world and her husband, was ruthless and brutal. Their past, written painfully by destiny, contrasted with an intriguing future that would keep readers hooked.

The author portrayed the story in a palpable manner, delving into even the minutest details.

The villain elevated the narrative, and I particularly enjoyed the thrill from his entry. Exploring the past and the intriguing antagonist added depth.


Supporting characters flawlessly played their roles at the opportune moments. Overall, it was a compelling read.

[Mohini Shukla · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was my first read in 2024. The book is just as awesome as its cover. The book is one of my favorite trope that is enemy to lover but I felt it was more like love at first sight and then it went for a denial phase. The love is something foreign thing for me and it makes me feel clingy sometimes but as a reader I like this book.
Now comes the characters of the book, Aahil Shah and Inaya, a power couple in professional life but still they have a gap between them in personal life. Aahil is someone who does not listen to anyone but himself and on the other hand Inaya has patience like the ocean. To be honest, even though I have too much patience in me what scenarios have come to light between these two, I could have lost my cool as well. Apart from these main leads, there are several side characters and I must say I loved Zoya more than Inaya.
What is the highlight of the book, it's not just a love story but it is more family drama and I loved the family bond in this book. As I do not have any own sister I wish I had one. But I do have brothers and some of them are not my brothers but they are more than family to me. The bond between Zayn and Inaya or Neil and Inaya made me miss my brothers. The book will be an emotional roller coaster but the book is a gripping one.
In terms of literature yes there can be some chance of improvement but for reading and entertainment, this book is a recommended read for love book readers.

[Wittygirlwithabook · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book captures the essence of love of the two lovable characters Aahil Shah a business tycoon an arrogant person and Inaya Mirza a strong character who underwent a transformation from being a  naive girl to queen. They get married under some circumstances. Then the narrative takes interesting twists and turns that will keep the readers hooked.

The story Line has Enemies to lovers troupe, second chance troupe, marriage convenience troupe which makes the book even more interesting. However the only thing I disliked was the misunderstanding thing happening between the main characters in my opinion it went kinda too far .

Both of these characters are incredibly written. I liked how there past struggles have been portrayed in the story.

Overall a pleasant read ✨

The story revolves around Inaya and Aahil. A story of Second chance romance with Marriage of convenience and Forced Proximity. But what I grabbed my attention was Inaya's past and her relationship with her parents.

I didn't like the character of Aahil just because of the miscommunication ( that's one trope I dislike the most) but the story revolved around it and boy did he need to grovel more, of course yes.

Nevertheless it's a short and fast paced read.

Dazzled Bride by Farhaana is such a beautifully penned story. This book had me hooked since the very first page. I enjoyed reading about Aahil and Inaya who were past lovers turned enemies due to some misunderstanding are now bound in an arranged marriage. They both share a bittersweet relationship at first but later resolve their personal grudges and give a second chance to their relationship. As the plot unfolds, past secrets arise making the story engrossing and page turning.
