Since You Stole My Heart
Before the wedding, he was her sister's best friend.
Before the vows, they were just roommates.
Now fate has bound them together in marriage,
And the one man who was always off-limits is now her husband.
A wild, rebellious jewellery heiress, Kashvi Kashyap hides a vicious storm of secrets behind her smile. Haunted by guilt she can never escape, she dedicates her life to the charitable work of her family’s foundation.
But when her estranged, ruthless father resurfaces and threatens to destroy everything she has fought to build, Kashvi is forced into the one choice she swore she would never make.
Marry her sister’s best friend, Swayam Sharma.
Swayam knew his wife was a beautiful trouble wrapped in defiance, just like he always saw the fear in her eyes and the scars behind her sarcasm. And it awakens a fierce, primal need to protect her at any cost, even if she fights him every step of the way.
But when the ghosts she buried drag danger to her door, Kashvi must choose: Will she finally confront the demons of her past… or lose the one man she never meant to fall for?
If you crave slow-burn tension, a fiercely protective man hopelessly drawn to his best friend’s sister, and a marriage of convenience never meant to turn into love, Since You Stole My Heart will steal your heart.

This book🤌🏻what do I even say about it? Oh my God, I loved it soooooo much.💗
It was around 600 pages and I finished it in just one day. ONE DAYY! I haven't read a book this fast in years🤭. It was that good.Once you start you simply won't be able to stop.Kashvi and Swayam... these two have my whole heart.❤️ How am I supposed to live with the fact that men like Swayam don't exist in real life? He is such an amazing character. The way he stood by Kashvi through every situation was just beautiful.🥹🤌🏻He is the definition of a walking green flag.(Forest)💚
And Kashvi... my heart broke for her. The way she was manipulated by her father was truly heartbreaking.But she is so strong. Even after going through so much, she has never gave up. She has a heart of gold✨.And the love she has for the people around her is so heartwarming.
And the chemistry between her and Swayam? Uffff 🔥.The flirting had my heart fluttering the entire time. And YES we all deserve a man written by Kajal Rai.It was also so good to see the friend group back in action. Dhruv, Luv, and Vihaan deserve all the love. And it was lovely to see Siya, Abhay, Raghav, and Meera again too. And the Epilogue 😯....it was so unexpected. I can't wait for the next book.Overall, if you're still not reading this book after all my rambling, then you're seriously missing out on a fantastic read.

WOW! A must read! 💕
First of all, Kudos to Kajal for writing this amazing story and captivating the readers with her story-telling! This book is a beautiful blend of romance, suspense, and raw emotion that keeps you invested from beginning to end. The story unfolds at a perfect pace, balancing heart-fluttering romantic moments with enough suspense to keep you eagerly turning the pages.
What truly stood out to me was Kajal’s incredible ability to navigate complex traumas, deep emotions, and distinct personality traits with such authenticity and care. Every character felt real, flawed, and relatable, making their journeys all the more impactful. The emotional depth wasn't just written—it was felt. All the characters in the story are very well written and it is definitely an emotional roller coaster ride!
I love the fact that she is able to express through her story how abandonment, attachment and suppressed emotions can haunt a person throughout their lives and how once caring bond/relationship can heal a person from their distresses in life.
Please do read the book if you really want to feel all the feelings 💖

The third book in the series. This book revolves around Swayam and Kashvi. The way this book blew my mind away I can't even tell you. From the start till the end I was so hooked to it that I couldn't keep the book down. I feel my words will not justify the amount of anticipation i have felt while reading this book.
Kashvi's character is something which was very different from what I expected it to be like. I hate how she had to endure so many things in her life and how she hated herself for everything. I cried so much for her during the book.
Swayam's character is absolute love that is how I am gonna express it. He is pure love this guy loved her so freaking much throughout the book and without any expectations. I cried for him during so many scenes. I hated how much hurt he had gone through in the book without even knowing anything at all. In the first book I had a soft corner for him but I can in this book i literally fell for him.
Now how do I state about this book the amount of plot twists this book has OMG! My heart was in my mouth during the second half of the book. Karthik's character the amount of hatred I have for this character just doesn't suffice anything. The things he does in the book. The main plot twist of the book literally had me screaming so freaking much because it was totally unexpected and you won't even realise it.
There were so many scenes where I had swooned over Swayam be it his teasing, flirting or him making her birthday special, always making sure she is safe, always expressing his care for her.
I just realised while reading the book that while reading the first book i thought Raghav's character had raised the bars then Abhay's character raised it to the next level but Swayam's character surpasses both of them. This guy is literally the epitome of love.
Also about the other characters. The whole gand bond is something which I have been loving since the beginning of the series. The friendship, the love they have shown for each other is something I will always love to have in real life as well. In this book Dhruv and Vihaan's character really took my heart. Dhruv relation with Kashvi was something I wanted to read since book 2 and now when I read I was so happy. Dhruv and Vihaan's bond is something I really adore since book 2 and watching them be there for each other and their banter in the chapter was so funny 😂. Luv's character in the book was literally the matchmaker in this book. The way he was always making Kashvi understand and rooting for them to be together 😭😭.
Now I can't wait for Luv's book to be released soon.

Loving the first two books, I was NOT prepared for this one. This book broke me in the most beautiful way.
Kashvi needs to get married to claim ownership of Kashyap Foundation Trust, her late mother’s pet project, and to prevent it from going to her fathers’ vile hands, whose only aim is to sell it and make millions. Desperate to protect it but unwilling to marry, she is in a dilemma until Swayam, her sister’s best friend, comes forward and agrees to marry her. Two people who secretly like each other, are already roomies, entering into a contract marriage… It has all the makings of a swoony love story, right? But no… it is so much more than that.
Kashvi is undoubtedly the heart of this story. My God, the guilt this girl carries, the pain… guilt for believing she was responsible for a tragedy that shattered her family and pain inflicted by a manipulative father and a dangerous tormentor. Watching her fight shame, fear, blackmail, and her own self-loathing was 😭. I so wanted to hug her and tell her it wasn’t her fault. But the love n support she got from Swayam and her siblings n friends made me happy.
And Swayam… Swoony is the apt word for him. He reminded me so much of Aditya from Jab we Met. Quiet, dependable, sorted, supportive, and willing to go to any lengths for the woman he loves. His love doesn’t scream from the rooftops, nor is it aggressive in its approach. It’s like your soft cuddly blanket, warm and always there by your side, come what may. The way he stands by her, protects her, believes in her, and keeps choosing her humesha made my romantic heart go 🥰.
I absolutely loved the sibling dynamics. Siya is the quintessential elder sister. Fierce, protective, and ready to wage war for his baby sister. And Dhruv… I LOVE HIM. The way he protects and supports his sisters despite his own painful past… wow. I want his story soooon.
The suspense kept me completely hooked. The blackmail, the manipulation, the secrets, the emotional confrontations, the family drama, the twists… the book was unputdownable.
If you love found family, adorable sibling bonds, banter, healing, chilly suspense, and a hero who’s always there for his woman... this is wow.

I Don't know where to start, This book, Swayam and Kashvi, and what an unforgettable journey it was. I went into this book with high expectations, but I wasn't prepared for how deeply it would affect me. Every chapter left me wanting more, and before I knew it, I had finished the book which I never wanted to, I'm missing the book.
Swayam, His love wasn't loud; it was patient, constant, and beautifully selfless. The way he cared, protected, and loved without demanding anything in return made him impossible not to adore. More than once, his scenes left me emotional. He's the best man for Kashvi
Kashvi, I have no words for this Cutie. There were so many moments where all I wanted was to reach into the pages and give her a hug. The pain she hides behind her smile. She's my favourite. More power & strength to Kashvi. I found myself in Kashvi's nature. 📖
And can we talk about the suspense?? Because this book had me questioning everything. Just when I thought I had figured things out, another revelation came crashing in. The latter half was especially intense, and one particular twist completely caught me off guard. I definitely wasn't ready for that! Omg, This book is just mind blowing.
Lol, Karthik has secured a permanent place on my list of most hated fictional characters.
And now, like everyone else, I'm impatiently waiting for Luv's story because if this book taught me anything, it's that this series only keeps getting better. Can't wait for the 4th book & i believe in Author's writing. She'll spoil us for real.
This book made me laugh, cry, swoon, and stress all at once, and I loved every second of it. If there is one thing this book did, it was keep me completely obsessed from beginning to end. Since You Stole My Heart gave me everything I love in a romance; emotions, suspense, unforgettable characters, and plot twists that had me staring at the pages in disbelief.

Since You Stole My Heart is a beautifully written romance that stays with you long after the last page.Kajal Rai pulled me into Swayam and Kashvi’s world from the very first chapter, and I found myself caring about every step of their journey.
What I loved most was the chemistry between them. Swayam and Kashvi have that rare kind of connection where you feel the longing even in the quiet, in-between moments. Their banter made me smile, and the vulnerable scenes felt so genuine that I couldn’t help but get invested. The author nails that slow-burn tension every lingering glance and almost confession hit harder because I was already rooting for them.
The story also kept me hooked with twists I didn’t see coming. They plot twists added real momentum and made the plot feel layered and rewarding. Nothing about it felt predictable, and that’s what made me want to keep reading.
I also really appreciated the supporting characters. They brought warmth, humor, and a bit of suspense that made the whole world feel alive and complete.
If you want a romance that’s heartfelt, well-paced, and full of moments that make you smile and swoon, this one delivers.Kajal Rai doesn’t just write love stories she makes it breathe, ache, and linger in your chest long after you close the book.

As it's name... It really stole my heart or i can say this series stole my heart ❤️ Every chapter made me want to read "just one more"...
Kashu.... I want to hug her so tight.... and my poor heart. 💔 The guilt she carries, the way she blames herself for everything and how she believes she deserves to suffer even when she's surrounded by so much love... it hurts. It really hurts 😭And then there is Swayam... I genuinely don't think words are enough for this man. The way he loves, understands, comforts, gives her space without ever making her feel alone... That is what made me fall in love with him. And Swayam's flirting skills.... bro i never expected Swayam would be this flirty...🫣🤗 He was flirting with Kashu and here I was blushing 🤭💘
The found family have my heart... literally everyone starting from Luv, Dhruv, Vihaan, Siya, Meera, Abhay, Raghav... They feel like home.
And then that epilogue 😭😭 why kajal dii why you ended the book with that epilogue. I literally closed my Kindle and stared at the wall because I'm still in shock, still emotional, excited... all at once. And now I have only one thing to say... kajal dii, please give me Luv's story immediately. You already know how much I love Luv🥹💞

✨ Book Review ✨
I’ve been a part of the ever since book series since the first book and god it just keeps getting better and better. And trust me on this just don’t read this book directly start from the first book …. You’re just going to fall in love with the characters and the story. Kajal Rai has a way of just pulling you into her writing and that’s what I love about reading her books the most. First Meera & Raghav then Siya & Abhay and now Kashvi & Swayam with each book I’ve felt like I’m a part of their family and just reading a part of my friends lives.
Kashvi & Swayam just stole my heart when i read about them in the second book when the author gave a little trailer of them …. And since then I was just waiting for their book and now that I’ve read it I’ve fallen in love with them.
And I literally can’t wait …. You don’t understand the amount of times I’ve stopped myself from asking Kajal Di for Luv’s book. I didn’t want to trouble her but Di if you’re reading this please please please pleaseeeee …. Pretty pleaseeeeee give us Luv’s book soon !!!!! I can’t wait. And it’s all your fault for making me fall in love with all of them 😩

My heart is full after reading about Swayam and Kashvi🥹. They are so wholesome and perfect. How do I even explain what my heart is feeling at the moment. I liked the first book, loved the second, but I devoured the third book.
All the characters of Ever Since series felt like my family. As a read their story, I went through each and every emotion they felt. My heart aches for Kashvi and it looks for Swayam. He is so supportive of Kashvi and always standing with her, protecting her from the world. Their chemistry is hot, like really hot and sweet at the same moment. They are both adorable chaos. Their banter is top tier and Kashvi's cheerful personality with Swayam is made me fall for her again.
It's one of my favourite series and loved the characters, the storyline, the suspense, the chemistry, the writing, the plot and the banter.
I would highly recommend it.

Since You Stole My Heart was such an emotional and heartwarming read. I loved how it blended romance with family, healing, and hidden secrets without losing its emotional depth. Kashvi's journey broke my heart, and watching her slowly find comfort and strength made me so invested in her story. Swayam was everything I wanted in a hero—patient, protective, and always there when it mattered most. The found family moments, sweet banter, and unexpected twists kept me hooked until the very end. This is a book that made me smile, ache, and root for the characters throughout. 💜

Since You Stole My Heart is one of those stories that quietly finds a place inside your heart.
Beneath the slow-burn romance, the marriage of convenience, and the protective hero is a deeply emotional story about healing, guilt, family wounds, forgiveness, and finding love when you least expect it.
I laughed with these characters. I cried for them. And somewhere along the way, I found myself rooting for two people who deserved softness after carrying so much pain.
If you love emotional romance books, marriage of convenience, sister’s best friend, protective MMCs, slow-burn love stories, character-driven fiction, and books that leave you emotionally full long after the last page, don’t miss this one. 🤍📖

The teaser at the end of book 2? OHH MYY GOD — it was everything. I was literally fanning myself, squealing, and gushing so hard. That teaser had me swooning, like full-on heart-in-throat, butterflies-in-stomach swooning.
And the crazy part? Even before the next book’s release, I can already feel the flames of that chemistry. It’s sizzling. It’s intense. It’s giving “I will lose my mind when this book drops” energy.
I don’t even know what I’ll do when the book actually releases, because if the teaser alone did this to me, the full book might just ruin me in the best possible way.
The Review :-
I have been a fangirl of the **Ever Since** series since Book One, and I absolutely love all the characters, especially the found family. The thing that I love about Kajal Dii's books is that they are so warm, and they have such Amazon green lush forest male lead characters who just melt your heart.
The book is called "Since You Stole My Heart", whereas this book stole my heart. I didn't know what to say. I have been excited for this book ever since I read Book Two. There was a little teaser in the book itself, which made me crave this book instantly. But the wait was worth it, and I absolutely loved it.
Swayam, the male lead, was the definition of a golden retriever. He was everything. He was protective, possessive, charming, flirty, and calm. He had that golden retriever energy. He is someone who stays calm, but when it comes to his wife or the women he loves, he would absolutely not think twice before taking action or even unravelling the whole world for them.
Kashvi is the youngest daughter, and it is so beautiful how the youngest daughter's struggles and point of view are shown in this book. We all know about the struggles that the eldest daughter faces, but we rarely get to see the deep feelings and emotions of the youngest daughter. They are always shown as the bubbly sunshine personality, but we never know what lies beneath that smile. She is one of the strongest women in the series, and I absolutely adore her. So many times while reading, I just wanted to hug her and say, "It's okay."
Then there is the bond that Siya and Kashvi share. Touchwood, that was one of my favourite parts of the book. And not to forget Luv playing cupid between them. Him being absolutely filmy, dramatic, and shipping them so hard was hilarious, funny, and so cute to watch. One of my favourite parts of the book was the shipping.
And then come the villains. Even though they are the villains, I am thankful to them for making our couples meet, come together, and get married. For example, in Book Two, Siya and Abhay get married because of the villain. And in Book Three, Kashvi and Swayam get married because of the villain. So yeah, a huge thank you goes to them.
Last but not the least, I absolutely adore how the characters from Book One and Book Two are shown in this book and play such important parts in the story. The found family, the teasing, the banter, they will roast you endlessly, but they would also unleash hell or scream murder if anyone ever dares to hurt you.
And my favourite person is Dhruv. I mean, he is such a misunderstood character. In Book Two, we get to know more about him, but in Book Three, I absolutely loved him. And the way Kashvi finally accepted him and called him *Bhaiya*, it was such an emotional moment that I still can't stop crying about it.
This book truly stole my heart.
