Having read the earlier two books of the series, I desperately was waiting to read the third part to understand how the story ends.
This book is a true entertainer with all the elements like romance, action, thriller,drama etc.
Loved the ending.
If you want to spend a lazy afternoon with action packed content, then the Singham's bloodline series is the one.

I was anxiously awaiting the release of the third and final book of The Singham Series- Bound by Duty after reading the first two books in the series and being absolutely enthralled by the plot & falling in love with the previous two stories , I was really intrigued and curious for the mysteries of the past to be unfolded and the suspense to be solved in the last and final book of the series. Both MV Kasi & PG Van beautifully built up this series with suspense, psychological mind games & emotional drama with dose of romance & passion and as the storyline progressed the suspense & mysterious past kept me on tenterhooks. The series had me pulled in from the first story of Singham - Abhay and then more when I read Dev’s story..I had really enjoyed the first two stories and had really high hopes from this one but somehow though I felt it was lacking the psychological mind games & emotional roller coaster which the previous two stories in the series had been loaded with and had totally kept me captivated but this story definitely had its moments, and it was full of sizzling chemistry and passion between the main protagonists Neil & Narmada. It was fast paced and a page turner like the previous two stories. Without giving any spoilers all the mysteries of the past were unveiled and all the loose ends were tied together beautifully. Having Abhay, Dev , Anika & Sabitha in the story was definitely the added bonus. The climax scene though a little cliche & had a very Bollywood feel which could be definitely ignored and overlooked for the fact that the rest of the plot and storyline was absolutely gripping. All the characters were strong and beautifully built . It was quite a journey with all the mystery, suspense & a fabulous & gripping plot. This series is definitely worth the read and a must recommend. I am so glad I was preordering each book as it became available on Kindle & read it as soon as it was delivered on my kindle. Hats off to both MV Kasi & PGVan for this gripping series . Looking forward to reading what these brilliant and talented authors would pen up next .

Dear PG,
I want to thank you for giving me the ARC of bound by duty first.
Second thing I love your stories especially the heroes in it .
They are actually hard core man's specimens having a good heart with a strong backbone (which I love to read ).
The heroine s like Anika and Narmada are loveable ladies expect for Sabitha ..She is unlikely woman who heart Is restless a perfect match for Dev.
I loved reading bound by duty, but where I lost you is ending climax part which seemed to cheesy scene of some Hindi movie and it made feel like Bharat milap.
I wanted to read "Abhay meeting Neil in his stay in komal's house and so on" scene.
Sorry to hurt you darling .

Bound by Duty is the third book of the best-selling series 'The Singham bloodline.' The past two books in the series build the suspense for this book. The start of the book catches my eyes given to the revelation of more secrets.
Rana is the one who draws in you with his mysterious life and motives, unaware of his birthplace. Secretive characters make you hooked to the story.
Narmada Senani is a rebellious and sassy girl and is captured by the one she never thought she would come across in her life. Rana had grabbed my attention more than Narmada, while the attraction and spark between them are unforgettable.
When you read the books in lines, the expectation of the next book was high, or when it was the last in the series, it was higher. I also read P.G. Van's other work. It tends to be more impressive.
A few occasions of this book are more predictable, and the one mystery that drives us to this book has been explained too quickly. The climax of the book was rushed, dramatic, and unsurprising. This book doesn't shine as the two books do.
Still, it has the potential to grab your attention and hook you to one spot. Rana and Narmada's passionate romance and other Singham life's glimpses are enough to peruse this book.

Can I please give less than 1 star?
Ugh!! This was the one time, I wished I was wrong about an author. But very unfortunately for me I was not that lucky. My skepticism were well and truly on point *sighs* I did not like the writing style of the author, AT ALL!!! It was very sloppy and definitely lame. I do not know if they came up with the end story plot together or if this author was given the free reign to end the series as per her wishes? Either ways, not a good ending. Since, I am no quitter, I had to somehow finish this series. But it was no easy feat, as I had to make myself sit and read through the end of the book. It still took me two days to complete this one even after skimming through the major part, because I just could not concentrate or care enough for the book or the characters. Like seriously, I have zero shits to either of the MCs, who were both immature and lame *that's the understatement of the year to be frank*. I was 100% truly, completely, utterly BORED with this book, it was total BS at most parts. The only thing that made it tolerable was the reunion of the family and the satisfactory ending. I was mostly happy at the end of the book because it also meant the end of this series _/\_
No offense to the author, but I will definitely not be reading any of your books in this lifetime, thank you very much!!

Rating: 3.5/5
Bound by Duty by P.G. Van is the third book in The Singham Bloodlines series and one that concludes the background mystery behind the decades-old feud between the Prajapati and Singham families.
While this book can be read as a standalone story, Njkinny recommends that you read the books in order so as to understand the characters and the world better.
I absolutely adored the previous books in this series and so was eager to read this one and get to the bottom of the mystery that had been haunting me since the first book.
This book had everything- a mysterious hero, a headstrong heroine and the thrill of danger but still, in my opinion, this book fell short. The protagonists' characters didn't shine as they could have and the ending that disclosed the answers to all my questions regarding those mysterious events so long ago that had shaped the lives of all my favorite people from the previous books was also hurried, confusing and not at all like the dramatic climax my bloodthirsty mind wanted. I was left with questions that didn't get answered and the reasons that were given were unsatisfactory.
The story is fast paced and entertaining in its own right but when you compare with the previous books, you want more.
All in all, Bound by Duty by P.G. Van is a decent story that had the potential to be better. However, despite this, it is not a bad book and held me entertained till the end and left me wanting to read more stories from the Singham world.
3.5 stars out of 5 to Bound by Duty and Njkinny recommends this book to all lovers of romantic suspense above the age of eighteen. I look forward to reading more books by the author in the future.
The Singham Bloodlines series is a must read series that has made it to Njkinny's list of the Best Books of 2018 so do yourself a favor and go grab this series to read now. You can thank me later.

* Fast Pacing
* Hesitant Chemistry
* Befitting Conclusion
The re-reading continues 😅 oh tough to control spoilers to the last review in the series
When the boy you once loved, comes back on your engagement with only intention to kidnap you, how would you react?, I bet same as the heroine if the boy is now a Hot and Sexy Man.
Neil is strong, muscular and is the best 'Hunter' in town. He is known by his enemies without clue of his identity. She is shell shocked when he kidnaps her, but happy she is saved from her marriage.
Narmada Senani is naive looking, nerdy family oriented girl, in a crazy family.He kidnaps her as a task, but his past attraction surfaced to bring in his human feelings and the mysterious past.
When memories hit back and his tasks are interrupted by the 'Singham' brothers, a truth is revealed but denial is too strong. Yet, he completes his 'Duty' by handing over her.
So when our hotties Abhay and Dev meets Neil, he realises the truth that he is also a 'Singham' and what happened later is fast pacing turns that lead to more revelations with not only one but HEA for all 3 'brothers' which you would like.
Give a read for free to fall for the 3 couples!

This book was the worst one in the series. If I could give it negative stars, I would.
I honestly thought about dnf’ing it like a 1000 times just after the 10-15% mark but I really wanted to know what actually happened at the temple. That scene also turned out to be anticlimactic because I already had guessed the plot, plus there’s a loop hole I guess since there was no explanation for the blast.
The FMC of this book irritated the shit out of me. She was really immature and very-very desperate. You know the type of females who play the victim card really well to trap a man into their web ? That’s the type of girl this FMC was. She was just SA’ed and she managed to convince the hero to fuck her with her fake tears & stuff. Then she just had this thought that she loved him and stuck to it for the entire book.
I really don’t have any special thing to say about the hero. He was boring, kept pushing him away and was really dumb. Like this nice guy saves you from your bad life and what do you do ? You become a Hitman and kill people !! Are you kidding me ??
This book had great potential to be something really good but it seems like no special efforts were made.

Good ending
I liked the story very much. The characters are also different from the previous two books. However, I felt like I couldn't connect very much because of the difference in writing. The first two books are extremely mature and feel like they have a whole-ness about them. Especially the second book. This book feels slightly immature. The characters had a lot of potential, but it wasn't explored properly. Would have liked the series to end with a blast but it felt like it fizzled out a bit. The story is pretty great and finishes the Singham series very well and ties all ends.

Okay, I have to say I was a bit, scratch that a lot disappointed by this one. I mean I totally devoured the first two books of the series but this one just didn't work for me. Though I completed the book mostly because I had to find the answers to all the mystery, it wasn't on level with the other too. This one felt a bit too rushed like the author had to just complete the book somehow. However the mysteries revolving around from the first book made it bearable. And at last we got our happy ending. Yeahh!

👍
Finally it's the mysterious hitman and the damsel in distress. Rana who finds everything while in search of something he thought was most important and Narmada who found her freedom after being captive.
It was a good second chance Romance. While the thrill and mystery continued from the first two books in the series.
Finally the revelations happen making all the read worth.
It was a good read.😁

All well ended well
It was nice that the third Singham brother was mentioned from the Bound by Love and the entire series drafted in a way revealing the mystery of Arundathi's death a piece. I enjoyed reading the Conclusion of The Singham Bloodlines in Bound by duty with Neil aka The Hunter aka Ranadeep Singham and Narmada's love story. I loved this series every bit.

It was a good epilogue to the series. It's more like a friends-to-lovers romance, and I wish that I got to read the past than just hear about it from the protagonists. I feel that the ending part was kinda rushed... Especially after 'Hunter' meets the Singham Brothers but other than that, I really liked the book.

Page turning drama
This book keeps you interested throughout whether it's the drama between the two main characters, the family looking for a lost sibling or the trauma of previous deaths.
The characters are outstanding and the plot is really well written. Once you start you won't want to put it down.

Truly enjoyed reading it. First romance series I've ever read. Great story line, surreal encounters. I loved how, at many Instances in this series, the emotions spoke louder than words. In the actions as well as behaviour of the characters. Very well captured. Thank you

DNF. Unfortunately, P.G. Van's style is just not for me. Compared to the other books in the series, this one fell flat. I was lost on the story and did not feel the chemistry.

Whole singham series is worth to read. It was quite amazing and intriguied story with engaging suspense. Loved entire story and other singham stories. Each book had its own love story line along with the family feuds and their outcomes.. As every time I read the Book 3, the more I fall in love.. The plots made by Neelambari twenty years ago and how it shattered the family and people is great work.. I appreciate the authors for their effort.. Both MV Kasi & PG Van beautifully built up this series with suspense, psychological mind games & emotional drama with dose of romance & passion and as the storyline progressed the suspense & mysterious past kept me on tenterhooks. A beautiful end to a gripping plot. It was quite a journey with all the mystery, suspense & a fabulous & gripping plot. This series is definitely worth the read and a must recommend. Loved Rana's style, and the rebel Narmada is portrayed well. The three brothers and their wives make a wonderful complex loving family. Loved the mysterious hitman and the damsel in distress. The story, charaters and the plot are so natural and realistic Highly recommended❤️😍

No words to express..!! A must read..!! Beware not to start at night.. Early morning preferable.. ;) :P
Kindly read the Bound series books in the same order and I bet you will love it..!! The story, charaters and the plot are so natural and realistic, that it has been 4 sleepless nights in a row and each book of the series has its own charm, uniqueness and beautifully written emotions. P.G.Van and M.V.Kasi this the 3rd time I have completed the series and after completing each book I wanted to write a review but never could. I always recheck if you have got a new book after completing a book each time..!! Your way if telling a story, potraing the lead charaters, describing scenes make the readers feel as we are in the story.. They are simply awesome..!!
