From the author of the bestselling romance novel THE CAPTIVE.
I read the blurb and if it was the previous me I would have been too judgemental to pick it up. Having read the author's works I knew that if Myra chooses to be with two men then there would be a strong enough reason for it. ...No no...I am not justifying infidelity.... For you to understand why I liked the story despite its dark theme you have to read it. The story is normally paced but the story is so compelling that I read it in one sitting. The icingon the cake is the fabulous twist. To be frank I was trying to figure out the ending but I was nowhere near it.
Pick this story keeping in mind the disclaimer given by the author in the blurb. Also go into the story with a very open mind. Enjoy the romance and thrill.
This was a potboiler ala Sidney Sheldon which was a throwback. This is a bit like a thriller of the week - I won't necessarily remember it but I enjoyed my time with it, especially since I was down with a cold and couldn’t read a lot.
I must say that the blurb on Amazon and on Good Reads is completely different. The blurb on Amazon reads as follows:
He’s cruel, dangerous and utterly flawed. Can she embrace and love all aspects of him?
When Myra was rescued by a tall, hooded stranger, she knew he would become someone special. She was right. Varun, a scarred, reclusive man with a dark past became the love of her life.
Myra was still dreaming of their future together, when her world suddenly blew apart. Varun broke up with her and disappeared from her life.
Nearly two years later, Varun appeared again. This time, as a cold, indifferent man who didn't mind spending passionate nights with her, but didn't want her back with him.
Surrounded by danger and violence, Varun wants Myra to keep away from him. But Myra is determined not to give up on them.
Winning back the love of her life, isn't the only problem that Myra has. Keeping an shocking secret is also critical...
A hot, thrilling and extraordinary tale of love and passion…
Amazon looked more like a dark romance on the lines of a brooding alpha-hero trope but this book has infidelity which is advertised upfront. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea but without spoilers I would give it a chance. It works mostly.
The plot is quite over the top and remind me a lot of some Indian films that came out in the early 2000s. I would have given this a three stars in the end despite having read this type of story before (which has been done better). However, the book has some odd writing which is noticeable - and I am not talking idiomatic English - but some sentences and paragraphs were odd. I had to read them again to see if they made sense. Also, the last third of the book was too quick and there was an unnecessary mystery in here which didn’t get enough time or respect here. For this reason I ended up thinking this is an average book (2 stars).
Nevertheless, if you are KU subscriber I would give this a try. If the writing doesn’t bother you this is a quick read at 200 pages and the basic plot is fun enough.
Read this on kindle; available on kindle unlimited in India. I was reading the series, so, I read the book & I liked it. If I had read the blurb, I would have skipped it. This book was engaging but the angst was real. No cliffhangers; HEA.
If you have read Soulless & Ruthless, you already know Varun. Breathless revolves around Varun, Myra & Raj. Readers of this series know that Varun has a painful past. Varun sabotaged his relationship with Myra in his agony. A while after her break-up, Myra meets Raj & after dating for a bit, they marry when Myra again comes across Varun. Myra still loves him to abstraction but she is happily married to Raj.
The cover page of this novel contradicts the story. A simple story narrated with some masala. Was very familiar with the plot as a few films have addressed the same.
Breathless by M.V. Kasi is the story of Varun whom we met in The Revenge Games series. I was intrigued about his character right from the start and hopeful to read his story. When I came to know that this book featured his story, I didn't waste any time in ordering myself a copy and boy, I am so glad that I did!
This book is nothing like the other romances that I usually read. This is truly an extraordinary romance that totally stumped me then made a special place in my heart and forced me to add it to Njkinny's list of the Best Books of 2018.
The plot is so well planned that when the twist came it had goosebumps erupting on my body. I kept thinking that I had totally not seen this coming!
Varun was a tormented character from The Revenge Games series who had me feeling sorry for him and I eagerly awaited to see if he got his happily-ever-after. While this book can be read as a standalone story, Njkinny recommends that you read The Revenge Games series before reading this one so you understand Varun's character better.
Myra is a strong heroine who braves all obstacles to get her happily-ever-after even when it means laying her happiness and heart on the line. I loved and respected her and even when I didn't agree with her dual life, I still felt her big heart and her unconditional love towards both the men in her life.
This is a fast-paced story with a vivid narration that easily sucks you in and keeps you entranced throughout. Often while reading this book, I would suddenly realize that I had held my breath in anticipation of the next scene. This was the level of my engagement in the story!
Absolutely loved this book and applaud the author for a story well told!
5 super shiny stars out of 5 to Breathless: An Extraordinary Love Story by M.V. Kasi and Njkinny recommends it all lovers of romantic suspense above the age of eighteen.
This my third book written by this author. I like the topics touched by the author and narrated in the story. I think this is the first book which deals with this topic very sensitively.
When I started reading the book, I know that are many Varun's in this world...but definitely i don't like such people in life. Then further into the story, when it was portrayed as though Myra was playing a double life with Raj and Varun, my feelings for her changed. However, towards the end, the story answers all questions and has a satisfying end.
I loved reading this book it demonstrates what true love can accomplish no matter what obsticals fall in to destroy it's beauty
I loved reading this book because it describes what true love can achieve for the good of all regardless of time and suffering that have to be worked out
One of the things that I appreciate in M.V. Kasi's books is that one starts reading them and one gets hooked from the very first page without ever knowing what the outcome is going to be. this is one of those unputdownable books. Because of the theme, I thought that the author did a very thorough investigation as, in my very humble opinion, the book was very hard to write. A must read.
For much of this book, I felt uncomfortable as Myra is shown cheating on her sweet husband Raj. Once the twist was revealed, I was pleasantly surprised. But I still struggled to connect with Myra. A lot of the backstory between her and Varun was rushed, so it made it hard to understand why she kept clinging on their relationship.
Breathless is excellent book... It is book that every one should read despite the age ... constrain The book conveys extraordinary psychological effects of emotions printed in the subconscious mind of individual in the early stages of his / her development... Irrespective of weather good or bad events ...they must must mutual love and respect for one other
I am glad I decided to read it even though I was skeptical after I read the snippet shared. It was a fun ride to travel the journey of Myra. Varun and Raj.
The story was kind off in sync with other books Also nowhere it is mentioned why the main character did not hate his father even though he was equally responsible for his bad memories from childhood
An awesome 📖 Felt so glad by reading this.😃 Myra is THE example for lovers 😍 Varun and Raj true lovers poles apart😘 The twist is the THE REAL TWIST😘 Loads of thanks to the author for such a gut-wrenching story❤ I just love it🥰 Guys don't think twice🙂 Just go for it😉
The subject of story is so difficult to write.But the author has beautifully pened it down. I loved the story..it made me feel happy,sad, confused, sympathetic, agressive and so many things. Keep up the good work all the best 💕
Well. It was an interesting skim. Kinda guessed early on what was going to happen. But felt that Varun was a bit cheated out of having her 100% loyalty. After all she loved him first. It was just a strange book. It wasn't profound.
Still reeling from the way the story unfolded. Beautifully written heart wrenching story of a woman who goes to great lengths for love. Beautifully written!
The book literally was breathtaking Beginning was just soo cute but I middle it got literally complicated, like I really wanted Raj to stay instead of varun in myra's life.

A lovestory that maķes you fall in lovestories. The kind of undefeatable love that has stood the test of time and crossed many hurdles yet managed to come out strong. One of the beat works of mv kasi
