The Singham Bloodlines #2
Bound by Hatred
Dev Singham is a privileged son, born into the wealthy, powerful Singham family. London bred and educated, he grew up to be a suave industrialist whose dating life included a constant string of beautiful celebrities. Everyone—especially women, adore him. Except for one. Sabitha Prajapati, not only hates him, but also shows her hate in many destructive ways.
She is the daughter of the man who had killed Dev's mother brutally, starting the decades-long violent feud among their people. Dev hates Sabitha, but what he hates even more is that he desires her above all...
Sabitha Prajapati is an illegitimate daughter whose presence was barely tolerated in the Prajapati family. Branded as the murderer's daughter, she grew up facing several hardships. But due to sheer willpower, and also by invoking fear, she ultimately rose up as the leader to the violent Prajapatis.
In order to maintain peace within the province, and also for the sake of the upliftment of her people, Sabitha agrees to work alongside her sworn enemy—Dev Singham. But each time she clashes or works with him, something other than hate twists inside her heart...
A raw, gritty, passionate and intense love story that begins from hate...

Bound by Hatred by M.V.Kasi is excellent book to read .
She has penned Dev Singham very well making me want like hell .
He is perfect mix of hate and love which we do not find these days . All I see soapy and flattery men who keep their girl friends or wives feet in lotus like pans which irritates me . On the other hand M.V.Kasi has penned SABITHA PRAJAPATI like a rowdy kind of dragon Queen with kind heart towards her people .
The combination of Dev Singham and SABITHA PRAJAPATI is very good . I love both of them .
Overall it is a good read book.

this book is amazing ... the plot is very interesting and what makes it impossible to keep the book down is the fact that unless you finish it each page holds your attention and you simple cannot let go of the mystery and the drama.. i don't have enough words to describe it ... bound by revenge was just awesome and the same goes for this book ... the next book is going to be equally awesome because P. G. Van and M.V.Kasi know how to hold a reader's attention .

Stumped!
Was I stumped? Of course. But that particular emotion has been in abundance while I read the first book of the Bound series. Here it overflows. MV Kasi has not left any stone unturned. The book leaves you craving for more. The emotions are so raw and intense. For the period of the book, the reader is transported to the world of Singhams and Prajapathis... You will love to hate them; you will love to love them. You will love to be closer to the basic emotions of each and every human being in the book.
If Abhay and Anika’s love was heart-wrenching, Dev and Sabitha’s passion will hit you from you-know-not-where.
I am now bound to the Bound series.
The hatred, its cause, and the culmination of it in absolute passion is a raw deal. Grab the book guys!
Still raw and shaken, I and my doppelgangers sign off.

It is a good story.
It's best to read book 1 first as some events overlap and it may spoil it otherwise. Characters from book 1 feature in this story.

I loved this one more than the first book. I like strong, arrogant, and wild female protagonists and this one served to that part of my palate vey well. The family politics and rivalry also made a lot more sense in this one as opposed to the first installment. The steamy stuff got wild and that's exactly why my rating is this high.😉

M.V. Kasi's every book has the power to grab your attention, but this one nailed it. I read her books for her fabulous plots, and this book has a rich story and unexpected twist-turns of events that shocked me deeply.
Sabita Prajapati is a cold-hearted, badass, fierce fighter, strong-willed woman, and caring for her people. I like reading powerful female-based stories, and this book is one of these. When the story begins to narrate her causes of pain, it is hard not to feel her emotions and tears.
Dev Singham's character presence is loud enough to make you devour his entire life. He is a cocky, egotistical, hot-headed, and handsome player. Their hatred and bothered emotions are intense enough to feel in my skin.
M.V. Kasi always writes the characters that have imperfections and proudly shows them for that I admire her. Again, she shows us male society mentality, rape issues, and women's problems. There are likewise descriptive fighting scenes.
The language of the book is simple to read by everyone. Dev and Sabita take the series one step ahead and clear the dust off the memories. Dev and Sabita's characters are composed perfectly with the goal that I can feel their pain, separation, and cheerful closure. Their clashing, passionate to vulnerable or emotional scenes makes this book unforgettable.
This book has the full effect on me to pick the next book to read in this series until you read this one.

Totally captivating
The story is very gripping and I can't wait to read the third part. Some parts are very exciting and keeps one on edge about what's gonna happen next. Already finished both the parts in 4 days.

Finally completed reading the second book in The Singham Bloodline Series- Bound by Hatred in one sitting & I can only say as always MV Kasi has left me speechless and dazzled by the sheer brilliance of her exceptional work. I am blown away by her unparalleled attention to detail. She definitely once again proves her versatility and flexibility as an author with this non-stop, multi-layered story in which she masterfully weaves drama, mystery, dazzling hot chemistry, romance AND the psychological mind games together seamlessly. This story was exceptionally exciting and full of so much heart, so much life! I was immediately pulled in and promptly fell in love with the marvelous and memorable characters which were introduced in the previous book in the series. The suspense elements, psychological mind games, emotional drama, romance & sizzling passion were definitely at a higher level in this story. It was a rollercoaster ride & adrenaline rush once I started reading the story and couldn't keep this book down until I was done , this story completed captured my attention from the first page & pulled me in as the story progressed & kept guessing what would happen next. A total page turner! Dev had already impressed me earlier in Bound by Revenge by his sweet & care and protectiveness over his family and specially with Anika & Abhay. Both Dev & Sabitha characters were strong , multifaceted and well developed. In previous story though I had liked Dev but Sabitha came across as very cold hearted, self centered & manipulative person with no conscious or soft bone in her body. In this story we get to know why she is like this and the reasons Dev and her became enemies and hate each other. As they say our past influences molding our futures . This story dug more in the mysteries surrounding the murders of their parents and the past. I was intrigued to read about these two since they both hated each other and ready to kill each other in the first story but as they say there is a fine line between love and hate both the author have pulled the story off beautifully. The chemistry between these two was off the charts . Having Abhay & Anika in the story was a added bonus . I was absolutely in love how this story ended, with the way the story has ended I am really intrigued and curious for the mysteries of the past to be unfolded and the suspense to be solved. Kudos to MV Kasi for leaving me anxiously awaiting for the next book in the series on tenterhooks... I am anxiously looking forward to the third book in the series. Definitely a must read!

This is the second in the series. The H and h have a volatile relationship which we see glimpses of in book 1. Things become clearer as their story progresses. A good story.

The second book in the Singham series and a very gripping one. As enjoyable as the 1st one in the series and I cannot wait for the 3rd one to be published. A must read.

The Singham Bloodlines series is a splendid and one-of-a-kind series that has become one of my favourite series of all time. When I read Bound by Revenge which is the first book in this spellbinding series, I fell in love and didn't think the author could write a better book but wait till you read the second book in the series, Bound by Hatred.
This book is a class apart from all other romance books that I have read. Raw, edgy and brutally honest, the emotional play in this book shook me to my core and my heart broke for the protagonists who had so far come across as a cold-hearted villain and a carefree casanova.
While the book can be read as a standalone, I would recommend that you read the books in order so as to understand the world, the background stories and the protagonists' characters better.
I absolutely adored this book and obsessively read it in one sitting. No one and nothing got me out of the story once I started and then my family will attest to the fact that after finishing the book, no one and nothing could stop me raving about the beauty of the story!
The story is beautifully narrated and the twists and turns so unexpected that I got goosebumps as I travelled with the protagonists as they journeyed to their happily-ever-after.
This is a book that will keep you rooted to your seat and shocking you into breathlessness as each scene unfolds.
I have become a big fan of MV Kasi and can't recommend this author enough. If you havent read any books by this author then you are missing out on memorable storytelling and books that are sure to make their place into your list of favourites like this one, that has proudly joined its predecessor in Njkinny's list of the Best Books of 2018.
A book that invokes strong emotions in readers and is the best enemies-to-lovers book that I have read so far. You will hate and love the characters with a burning passion feeling as if they are real people. It is no easy fete making a reader feel like this and this ease with which MV Kasi made me invest in this story is what has made her a fan for life.
5 out of 5 super duper shiny stars to this book that made me cry, laugh, pray and then sigh as if everything that was happening was somehow affecting me; and then left me wanting more. So eager was I to not step out of this story world that as soon as I finished this book, I didnt waste a moment in ordering the next book in the series!
So Njkinny recommends that you don't wait and grab this book like now!

* Power Couple
* Vigorous Possession
* Immersive plot
Can't get enough of Dev yet, Re-read twice while writing this review for him and I indeed admire her too. One of my favorite reads of 2021.
Can two strangers who hate each other because of family history, get attracted at first sight when they are unaware of their identity and still yearn for each other when identities are known. oh, This power couple will teach you how.
Dev Singham is hot, muscular and prone to violence as his ax speaks first in every fight. He is feared by his enemies more than his brother Abhay. He helps her at a young age and get her caught at the same time because of the family vengeance. so when she is forced to meet him because of Abhay and Anika, they do what they know best, hurt and humiliate each other.
Sabitha Prajapathi is brave, strong, warrior woman who is equally respected and feared. He always saw her as the enemy and hated her but his body and mind longed to possess her.
When things escalate between them, hurt paved way for their lust that turned to love ❤️ but she proposes marriage with someone else, and he goes mad. Now, I know the twists that happened and I guarantee they have a HEA you would like.
Give a read in for free to enjoy the duo! I fell in love with them 🥰

Read in order
Read this book for the second time after reading the 1st book this time around. The story is less confusing if you start with the 1st book 1st. I found this book to be a little too long. Some of the scenes really didn’t need to be repeated. This would have taken a few pages off. Since I have little kids, I don’t get much time to read and I bet that that’s the story with most of the moms today so good books like this but with a shorter reading time would be much appreciated. The characters are very strong in this book. Love both Sabi and dev. Sabi is a warriors , a independent woman who does not fear anyone cos she has already lost so much a few years ago. She is brutal and does not care about anyone where as Dev is a playboy who couldn’t take his mind off Sabi from the day he was sort of assaulted by her. Through the violence and up and down while dealing with issues from their past they fall in love and have their forever but is there forever happy is yet to revealed .

This is hands down one of the best enemies to lover I read so far.
Despite being the second book of the series, it can be read as Standalone. There are few aspects of there family history but it is pretty understandable. I especially loved the dynamics between Dev and Sabitha. When they are enemies...the hate each other enough to kill each other. But when they are forced to work with each other under certain circumstances, they got to know and appreciate each other. I loved how Dev realises his love for Sabitha and doesn't try to deny them for their family feud. Sabitha on the other hand is a total badass woman. I admire her character very much, working for the people of the province but never a pushover.
This is definitely worth a reread.

👌👍
Dev and Sabi's character had me totally excited from the first book in the series to know their story. Also, how could I forget the mystery from the past.
It was amazing to read about their past and what had made them the people they are today.
The journey from hate to love while learning about each other and not just loving but respecting and understanding each other.
Loved how the author's have addressed about some of the social issues in the society like cast system and rape which are very sensitive topics to speak about.
It was amazing to read their journey and also enjoyed the titbits of Abhay and Anika in the story.
Loved the read.😁

Sabitha Prajapathi is a queen and no one can change that fact! I was going to give this book four stars, but then I remembered that what a badass heroine Sabitha is and I couldn't resist giving it 5 stars. It's definitely a very good story. I love how the hatred they have for each other is based on strong grounds. I love love love how strong, determined, and resilient, Sabitha is. Of course, I loved Dev's character too! He is so different from Abhay and so expressive of his emotions! He didn't hesitate to accept or show his love for the supposed "enemy" and I fell in love with that. It was a very good book, loved reading it!!✨♥️

This one was surprisingly good. Sabhita & Dev were actually good together and the whole plot was interesting. The only reason I gave this one 3 stars instead of 4 stars is because Sabhita & Dev’s relationship needed a lot more development. Sabi was tortured for 6 whole months while being pregnant and it was all because Dev snitched on her. That wasn’t talked enough. I actually like Sabi a lot more than any other character in this book. She was strong, had a backbone, did everything for the people she loved. I cried a lot when she found the truth about her kid. It was heartbreaking.

Both the writers have done a good job. Efforts appreciated. It's another romance novel by M.V.Kasi and P.G.Van. The story is about hate turned love. The story has been abruptly stopped leaving the readers to guess about what happens next till the 3rd part is out. But since the third part got released around 2018 , luckily I don't have to wait.
Happy reading.
Happy reading.

I loved all the books in Singham Bloodlines. While my favourite is bound by Hatred but this is also a good one. U would enjoy bickering & then passionate love between Dev & Sabitha. I liked all three Singham brothers for their compassion which remain hidden somewhere & female protagonists has to really make effort to bring out their true character. All three books in this series are must read.

Good book with catchy story line... Makes you keep on reading till you finish the book. This author has started getting interesting for me with each new book of his I read...

Raw, passionate, violently intense
This isn't a girl's romance novel. There are pretty mature themes in this. The story is of the second Singham brother and a woman who he hate-loves. Loved every minute of the book.
