If I ever want an "Indian Billionaire romance" I'll just go to YouTube and watch an Indian serial. Or watch clips & edits of some couples (looking at you shivika & raya👀). It might not be a billionaire romance but atleast it will be worth my time.

I was reading prologue and I thought story was going average but then I started first chapter and there anatomy test was mentioned and it caught my attention. The story in prologue is about Dhanush and the opening scene is mostly background, fight and breakup between Dhanush and Karina and then main story starts from first chapter, around three years later. Tina had a dream of becoming doctor but her destiny took tough path. Her father had habit of drinking and he has borrowed money from some people. Later on she was suspended from the college. Meanwhile Dhanush was a rich and handsome man. Read the book to know how their fate has intertwined.
I liked the plot. Initially it was going with routine average pace but later on it took turn and it was really interesting. I liked the narration style of the author. As mentioned in the blurb, story is truly hot, passionate and captivating. Language of the book is lucid. It took me time to enter in the story but it was worth waiting. It’s more or less light read. I liked how author has so simply highlighted certain social issues like alcoholism, struggles for middle class and lower socioeconomic class. And written in such a way that beginners can also easily read and enjoy. Overall good one. I enjoyed reading it.

The Beauty's beast is a blessing

The beast she turned into her prince was one in a million. This story is spell-binding in terms of defining a relationship that is beyond the judgemental eyes of society. Neither her work deters his love nor his scars cower her away. They are just made for each other. I absolutely loved reading the tale of Dhanush and Tina and the coincidence at the train made them bound of infinity. Overall a great read!

I'm going to be a 💯 biased when I rate this book. But I'm not loving the idea that the Indian hero is a manhoe but I love that the heroine is an exotic dancer working her way to med school

Does anyone know where this is taking place.

I absolutely loved what I read. I always have fun reading MV Kasi’s books. As I have already mentioned in some of my reviews that I am in love with her books and her strong female leads. I admire her writing and her talent to add passion and romance that will make every reader’s heart swoon in love.
This is one of the best stories I have read. Tina is determined to achieve her goal in her life, and Dhanush was living in solitary in his mansion. Tina’s entry into his world created chaos in his life. However, what started as deception soon took its turn to the inevitable. This story was passionate and also admirable. I admired Tina’s character the most; she was inspiring in her unique way. This book will take you on an adventurous ride of Tina and Dhanush’s journey of passionate love.
Tina had to struggle in her life from an early age, but she was optimistic to face life head-on. She did everything she had to do to achieve her goal. No matter how many obstacles came her way, she was determined to survive and complete her dream.
“She was going to finish medical school and become a doctor, no matter what.”
Dhanush was a ruthless businessman and also an heir to the royal family of the Mahasena.
“Dhanush could charm a nun as well as destroy his adversaries in the most ruthless way.”
He had everything in his life, but he didn’t have time to waste on love. He did not want any commitments, but he never denied a wonderful time with a woman of his choice. Almost every eligible woman wanted Dhanush but was extremely picky while selecting a woman, even if it was only for a short time.
“He made it very clear he was only in it for good times because when the time came, he would marry a woman with a royal background.”
When Tina crashed landed in the Mahasena mansion, never in her wildest dream she would have thought she would be fascinated by the arrogant beast. She was supposed to pretend that she was his arranged, prospective bride but she was truly intrigued by him.
“She was both terrified and strangely intrigued to know more about the reclusive royal man.”
Every time she came across the arrogant beast, he was always angry and pissed at her and even she had to control the same urge of snapping at him with the irritation she felt towards him. Their bickering didn’t turn down and his challenges only provoked her to further annoy her. Their interactions were changing their pace to lead them somewhere that was inevitable for both of them. Tina was unknowingly making her way to the beast’s heart. Their journey is truly beautiful and fascinating.
But of course, it’s the beast we are talking about, he would not make it easy for the beauty to capture his heart and make him happy without creating any trouble. And there was also a small problem that would make beauty hesitate to claim her beast. However, the beauty belongs to the beast where her heart already is.
“Because the beauty fell in love with the beast.”
This book is for every beauty that fell in love with the beast and for every beast that was tamed by the beauty. I highly recommend this wonderful book to everyone.

This is my first book by M. V. Kasi and instantly I like her writhing style simple with twists, suspense and slow burning romance. Book's language is lucid. The story narrative by both main characters and attach with them emotionally. Story also show some social issues.

I love the way Tina's character written, strong, stubborn and accept her life and fight for her dreams. Also hard working and mature girl.

Dhanush's character changes with times, and more mature with the time and change the view of his choices. Chemistry is too good.

Best part about the book is you can easily enter in the story and ending of the story satisfy with happy ending. Story plot is engaging and slow but worth waiting. I read it in few hours.

Beauty and the beast is my one of favorite stories. And this story touch the content of beauty and the beast and same time twist the plot. I like the change in the story to make it new and different indeed author succeeded in this.

Not only Beauty but Beast has to come in the world of beauty to fight for her and win her back. This story surely made you a fan of M.V. Kasi. I enjoyed it!

Indian Beauty and the Beast

This is my first book by MV Kasi. The author's book was been recommended for a very long time and I overlooked the author's work as I was fond of reading romance books by foreign authors. And yeah I regret it, not for reading foreign authors' books but for overlooking MV Kasi. Recently I downloaded this book through Kindle Unlimited and I was blown away by the prefect retelling of the Beauty and the Beast. I'm a great fan of B&B and I have watched and read the various versions of the story as movie and books. But this one felt so real. Just a day before I read a retelling of the same but Until You made my eyes well up with tears and at some parts tightened my heart. Maybe I could have felt it this way as the names characters were Indian that made me connect more characters.

Over all I love the story. It has every aspect of the Grimm's Fairy version: a curse, that turned a man into beast, a beauty's entry into his life, their undying beyond appearance. Only the Beast doesn't lie on his deathbed when the beauty is away from him. Instead he fights his way back to win her back.

This is the first book, definitely not last, by the author. I liked the easy narration, simplicity of the plot, and fast-going pace. Dhanush is a royal with a scarred past and lives a reclusive life in Srikota. Tina is a medical student who tries to make ends meet by performing at events. Both their lives change when they are brought together under the same roof with Tina pretending to be the prospective bride for Dhanush. And then starts the game of meanness, persuasion, curiosity about the other, and something more. Will Tina be attracted to the ruthless beast who is perfectly fine ignoring and insulting her? Will Dhanush's life be affected in any way by the colorful and lively entry of Tina who is not at all interested in his title or money, but has an aura around her that brings life to even the inanimate objects?
The book is well-written and the descriptions of the place are well enough to transport you to the place. I am used to the more detailed descriptions and a poorly described scene itches me badly. However, I liked the books, the characters (especially), and the beauty of the mansion and the surroundings.

Tropes- Billionaire Romance, Recluse Hero

Review-
Tina Kumar is a medical student supportting herself by doing exotic dance performance. Her only family is her father who was a drunkard. Fed up with life one day she runs away and by some circumstances land herself in Srikota in Dhanush Mahasena's palace, who was living his life as a Recluse after an incident.
The story is gripping from the start. It was really nice reading and gives a feel of Beauty and the Beast. The story was well written in a very interesting and beautiful manner. The characters really felt real. The development was good. Really like how the author described their time together in palace and their dynamics in the story. Even every side characters were portrayed nicely. There was also some angst and the story was quite passionate.
Overall really enjoyed reading it. I loved Tina and Dhanush's story and their characters. I will suggest everyone to read it atleast once I am sure will not regret it.

Wonderful

This is a beautifully written story with strong characters. The lovers transcend their personal boundaries to discover their love for each other.
A particular fact I appreciate about this author is the fact that the protagonist of her stories are males and females both and they are equally powerful in their roles

In the first half of the book, it was enjoyable but I wasn’t quite wowed. Dhanush and Tina avoided each other’s company and were so combative, I wasn’t sure if I would ever connect with them. However, once the conflict set in during the second half, I was hooked. I, especially, loved how Dhanush never gave up on his love for Tina. He went above and beyond to reconcile with her. Totally swoon-worthy.

My Rating: ***1/2

Type: Standalone

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Narration style: Limited third person

Primary Characters: Tina and Dhanush

Source: Courtesy of Author/ Publisher – Free in KU
I was in mood for some light Indianized romance. This book is based on one of old classic fairy tale “Beauty and the Beast”. It’s recreated as per modernized Indian version.

As the blurb says Dhanush Mahasena is rich, stunningly handsome and a royal. When an accident made Dhanush bitter along with ugly scars, he retreats to his family estate, he wanted to have a quiet time. His peace is interrupted when women from royal background visited him, aiming to be his wife.

Tina has a tough background and rough situation. With all her savings gone, she is trying to stay afloat and make ends meet along with perusing her dream. In desperation and keep things afloat and find solution for her problem she agrees for deception and enters Mahasena mansion as his prospective bride. All she has to do is spend 3 weeks in an estate that belongs to a billionaire royal. Will she survive staying with ugly hideous monster?

Tina is strong and sweet at the same time. Dhanush is broody and has sharp acumen, explosive temper and ruthless steak. Two extremes cross paths which made the story more interesting. With explosive chemistry and his fiery temper will beauty be able to tame the beast?

Even though entire book is one-time time-pass read I have rated it low for few reasons. Character development could have been much more better. It was totally good till halfway through the book, but post that I felt author has rushed up to complete the book. I was expecting more lash outs between Tina and Dhanush, in which this book totally lagged. Second half of the book was good, but it didn’t focus more on relationship building. I felt it was mostly focused on their scorching chemistry (I’m not complaining on that 😊).

Plot moved in study pace in first half and it got fast forwarded in second half. i was not able to recognize the narration style, I think, it was limited third person view. Writing style was simple and easy to read. No intriguing secondary characters however Lalitha was delightful.

Overall, this is enjoyable, good, one-time fun read. Enjoy reading this Indianized contemporary “Beauty and the Beast” romance.

Book Name- Until You
Author M.V.Kasi
Review- Until you a is really amazing love story full of romance. The story line revolves around the richie rich Dhanush and ambitious Tina. Two extremes Tina and Dhanush cross paths which made the story more interesting as it resulted in ignition of fire which eventually had unseen flames of love. The story is quite similar to what girls dream of, to have a rich prince charming who will marry them and take away all of their problems. Though a bit unrealistic, it's always a delight to read it in books if we cannot experience it in real life.

Until you is a story of beauty and beast. The plot of the story is amazing, different and predictable. It is a perfect blend of fiction with reality. The author has narrated all the emotions beautifully. I liked the coordination between the main protagonists.
The cover and the title of the book is totally appropriate. Characterization is done well. Overall, a wonderful read.

Super romantic and simple story presented in outstanding writing

The story is smooth. The best part from the story is how Tina changes the rich and arrogant beast (Dhanush) to come out of recluse and becoming the prince.

I appreciate author for getting this story with simple and connecting way. Good one.
