Dear Diary,

I love you. How can I not? You are a gift from the one I love the most. And I'm glad that on your first, crisp page, I'll be writing about my best birthday ever.

I guess, I shouldn’t mention this day to anyone, what if someone casts their evil eye on my happiness. Not that I believe in these things. It’s just that... But I promise I'll tell you everything, for you shall now be as precious as my sweetheart. I hope the three of us live together ever after.

No! I don’t wish it, I demand it. And I know we will!

Is it too much to ask? I don’t think so, because we are made for each other.

Bye for now.
Truly Yours.
______________________________

Destiny has dealt Radhika a tough hand, breaking her heart at every juncture, leaving her cynical and lonely. And then she comes face to face with her nemesis.

Everyone around Arjun seems to plot and scheme; his grandmother, his best friend, and now an unknown enemy. As fate plays its part, he runs into the woman he hates the most—the woman he has loved the most.

When they meet again, Arjun and Radhika realize they’d never stopped loving each other. But with a second chance comes an enemy who is stronger in their resolve to keep them apart.

Will Arjun and Radhika make it through the lies, deception, and situations that could cost them a life this time?

A riveting story about obsession and hatred, superbly crafted characters, and true love that conquers all. I liked that the difference between genuine love and blind obsession was brought out in the personality traits of each character. Loved Ruchi Singh's writing as usual. It has everything to keep one hooked until the end.

I had high hopes for this. But the reason for their separation and divorce is stupid.
Any man who does not give his wife (the love of his life) the opportunity to explain her side does not deserve a second chance.
Also, the writing was whimsical and the chapter utterly unorganized and jumpy.

In 1st chapter, Arjun has seen someone but convincing him that she is not here. He was imagining someone else while being with Tanya. In the 2nd chapter, the same is happening with Radhika. So the question is, are both not yet done with each other and they are seeing a real person or hallucinating. After few chapters, we went to flashback on how both met and then again back to the present. I liked the author tried to show some parts of the characters' professional lives too and not just focused on the romantic part of the story. And what was the reason for their separation? was anyone of them actually guilty or it was a setup to separate them? I also liked the part from the part where Arjun and Radhika were coming close after their marriage. There were so many obstacles in their path whenever they meet or think to patch up. Ruchi knows how to narrate a romantic suspense story. The narration was smooth, editing was up to the mark. And the story was fast-paced. As you move towards the end more twists and turns were kept coming. Overall a good read.

Everything is fare in love as the quote says it all, but possessive love definitely feel that quote for real.
Arjun and Radhika, divorced yet pinning for each other, one misunderstanding and all shattered to pieces.
Situations separated them but couldn't make them hate each other or forget each other. Their love remained in their heart and they kept craving for each others company.
Possessive love is dangerous and can lead us to do many bad things, that's the beautiful twist in the plot. A suspence with a romantic spine.
Arjun learns the truth and starts trying to reconcile but will Radhika accept him?? Between all this there are threats for life, murders and a very possessive twist which is the soul of the story.
End is something which you definitely might not guess as the story progress but when you will read it it will blow your mind.

I loved the way author has designed the plot and it's characters. Every character is so important and has its own story to tell.
The fusion of love and suspence is also an intresting part of the book.
I thoroughly enjoyed the story. Highly recommended 👍👍

Everything Is Fair In Love by Ruchi Singh is a Romantic suspense novel. The story deals with the ploy created by Tanya and her Mother against Arjun Singh Tomar, and his wife Radhika. How Arjun finds the truth after three years and does he patched up with Radhika? after realising he is been a victim of the cunning plan from his friend or does Radhika moved on with her own life with her childhood friend, Yash?

The author has plotted the story well with some interesting situations, now and then constantly to keep the readers hooked up till they finished but the storyline seemed to be old, in a way easily predictable. Even though I put forth the storyline as old, equally I appreciate the narrative skill author elevated in the novel which has been hooked me till the end.

I have liked how the author carried Yash's diary as a tool to convey and make readers anticipate what might could happen next or what happened previously, And the language used by the author is comprehensible. I've also found a couple of spell errors which is not the author's fault but should be proofread and corrected in the next edition.

Overall, 'Everything Is Fair In Love' is a short and one time read.

The story is about a divorced couple who bonded over an arranged marriage. But things went down the lane when protagonist found out about his wife Radhika's But when they parted, they had people who loved them more than themselves, one who would do anything for love.

This book is a mystery shocking you every minute. The characters are so delicately introduced that it brings a lot of curiosity right from the beginning.
The narration is brilliant switching between past and present, making you understand the skin of the character, their life, the adventure each one has been through.
The language is simple. The storyline is interesting, I loved it. The story that started with diary, had a lot things to tell, I loved how the end of the diary turned out which was quite unexpected and it was amazingly done.
If you are looking for a suspense romance thriller definitely check this book out.

Enjoyed this psychological thriller cum romance. It has a blurb that intrigues, a cover that draws the eye, and a story that lives up to the promise of blurb and cover.

The motivations of the villains and the angst of the main characters was well done, though one of the 'littler' characters could have been given an earlier entry into the plot, I felt, and more involvement in the events that unfolded. The proofreading needed more work, too, but all that notwithstanding, this is a good one - a captivating story of love and betrayal, jealousy and devotion.

The book is written by Ruchi Singh compiled of 253 pages.

Now, let's talk about the book.The story of the book follows the story of a couple Radhika and Arjun. A few years ago,there were mad for each other but slowly the time changed and the matter came to divorce. Now,the both are divorced for almost 3 years. Both have changed their paths. Slowly Radhika is coming close to Yash and Arjun is coming close to Tanya.

The story takes an interesting turn when Arjun and Radhika accidently came across each other in a restaurant. The things started changing when a mysterious guy enters their lives.

The book is well written. The narration is too good. 3 or 4 sittings are enough to read this book. The book is full of twists and turns and you should go for it. Recommended.

Book:- Everything Is Fair In Love
Author:- Ruchi Singh
Format:- Kindle
Rating:- ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Everything Is Fair In Love authored by Ruchi Singh is a romantic suspense novel. Arjun and Radhika are the protagonists here.
Everything is fare in love as the title suggests, but what if the same love transforms to possessive love?

The plot is such that Arjun and Radhika -the divorced couple are not yet over each other.
On the other hand, Harsh and Tanya do all they can just to depart the two.

As the storyline progresses, Arjun begins receiving anonymous threats. Here's where the suspense, thrill and intrigue get introduced into the plot.

What happens to the longing love between Arjun and Radhika? Did Radhika and Arjun get back together? Who is responsible for the seperation? Read this book to find out the thriller ending!

All in all, the novel is quite awesome. The author must be praised for keeping the mysterious plot throughout the novel. I would highly recommend this book for young and budding readers.

Thank You.
Happy Reading 📚

A thriller that is written with finesse. Love story and mystery makes a great combination. It keeps you hanging and wanting for more till the end. An interesting story that revolves around Arjun and Radhika who marry, fall in love and get divorced due to misunderstandings which break their relationship but yet something is still there that binds them. They are never over each other although they try to move on.

Things go ugly when they come in front of each other. There is a secret that Radhika holds which threaten to worse things between them if spilled. Tanya and Yash are Arjun and Radhika’s best friends and their current partners.

What is Radhika’s secret? Why did they get divorced? Are things simple as seen or is there more to it? Read the book to find out.

The complexity of the story and the characters is handled well by the author. There are layers to them which unveils as the story progresses. The plot is water tight and all the characters are justified well. The pace is decent and language simple and engaging.

A very interesting take on Second Chance Romance. I liked the way Arjun's anger is portrayed. Radhika comes across as a strong personality. The whole story has got a lot of interwoven back story that keeps the reader in me interested and I kept on turning the pages of the book. The whodunit quotient in this story is pretty strong, especially as a reader I wanted to know who the writer of the diary was. At every end, I will try to guess who it was and that made the book more interesting for me. Loved it and would definitely recommend that romantic thriller lovers pick up this book.

Everything is fair in love is a Romantic suspense novel written by Ruchi song. The story starts with two lovers, Radhika and Arjun who were separated by the hands of fate meeting accidentally. Radhika, once broken by the people whom she loved the most finally thinks about starting a new life with Yash, her childhood best friend, and Arjun is spending most of his time with Tanya, his childhood friend. But meeting a mysterious man changes the course of their relationship and Arjun was in bliss again. With bliss, also comes danger. Did Radhika and Arjun get back together? What is the danger? Who is responsible for that? Read this book to find out
The writing style of the book is simple and beginner-friendly. Also, the changes in the plot and its subplots really kept me hooked on the book. The author has flawlessly merged romance and thriller in the plot. The characters are very well developed with their realistic actions and thought processes. I liked how the author added little things like the diary to add a more mysterious vibe to the plot. Overall, it's not the "unputdownable psychological thriller" the author claims it is, but a really good one. It did get predictable at times, but kudos to the author for maintaining a mysterious aura throughout the novel.I really liked the ending, it was totally unexpected. I highly recommend this, if you love to read thriller novels.

This book belongs to the romantic suspense genre, and is an awesome read. The story starts with two main characters, Radhika and Arjun, who are madly in love with each other, and have vowed to spend the rest of their lives together. But as fate had planned, their lives changed and they had to separate from each other. Now, Radhika develops interest for her childhood best friend Yash, whereas Arjun starts liking his childhood best friend Tanya. Probably this would have been the simple ending to their story, but again, a mysterious man arrives, who changes the course of their lives again. Arjun is completely shaken, and goes into a state of bliss. Now the story takes us through the facts like whether Arjun and Radhika got back together, what was the mysterious man's doings, and so on. The book is very well structured and the narration is quite detailed. Whenever the story became a bit predictive, the author cleverly changed the entire plot. This made the story extremely mysterious and full of suspense. It is very difficult to keep this book down, once started reading. The characters are very well portrayed by the author, and the story seems to be realistic. Overall, the book is superb. The language used is extremely easy to get along with. Must read book for all thriller lovers!

Interesting story kept me hooked


Everything is fair in love is a story of love , passion , seperation and thrill.The book is the transaction of past and present ..It revolves around Arjun and Radhika ..The plot also gives important space to Tanya and Yash .

It begins with all the four in a restaurant and leading different life's after seperation with different partners Radhika with Yash and Arjun with Tanya , who both practice law at the High court .But still something aches between them keeping the bond alive .

what was that , which lead to divorce of Arjun and Radhika ..?

The initial pages describe the rawness of a relationship , by mentioning how Arjun and Radhika had met through their grandmother's and had an arranged marriage ...Radhika is portrayed as having double face by Arjun ..

was it the reason ? Or was something else .The story begins with showing lots of hatred between the two ...will matters resolve ...This book has lots of twist and turns to keep the readers hooked ..

Do read this breathtaking novel to discover the secrets .

Lovers don't finally meet somewhere .They are in each other all along ....

Arjun and Radhika were set up by their grandmother's to meet . This eventually lead to a nuptial bond .
A delightful love story full of passion , devotion , sacredness and loyalty.
Tanya , a friend of Arjun always saw
Radhika as a nobody and wanted to be with Arjun no matter what is the cost . Tanya spoils the marriage of Arjun and Radhika by planting several doubts in Arjun's mind .

Arjun finds Radhika to be a cheater and betrayer which he repents later on . Radhika is a pure soul .

Radhika has a lovely friend Neha ...who helped her through every thick and thin situation .
Yash , Radhika and Neha are childhood friends . Yash loves Radhika and Neha loves Yash ...

The story is full of suspense , romance and emotions.
I had tears rolling down my eyes several times .

Love is when someone breaks you and shatters you . The amazing part is that you gather these zillions of pieces and love them again with these pieces .
The one who breaks you , disappoints you ...brings calm.

Everything is Fair in Love : A Romantic Suspense
by Ruchi Singh

Love is the most strong and beautiful feeling . It is not easy to overcome seperation from someone you love it breaks your heart and soul . Arjun and Radhika , the protagonist are a loving couple but they had to take divorce and they got seperated from each . But love was still there they were madly in love with each other , the care , the bond was still there and it was very difficult for them to live without each other then why did they got separated? The story has a very new content and is full of unexpected twist and turns . The suspense part is the most exciting part of the book and every guess of yours will fail . There is also elements of thrill and death threats overall the book is really amazing and interesting I totally recommend it to all the book lovers . Language used is simple and easy to understand and narration done is very well.

It is not love if there is no trust

Hi. I have read all the undercover series books by the author and really liked them. So, I decided to read this suspense also. But, I was disappointed. Firstly, It is not love if there is no trust, you treat the person you claim to love the way hero has treated heroine - he never trusted her, never listened to her side of story, locked gates on her ( she was his wife, not girlfriend, she was practically an orphan with her nani dead), got a restraining order on her. Secondly, Hero has been projected like some sort of God who can treat heroine anyway he likes and then when he wants her back, he simply has to disturb her at her workplace, her home, anywhere and heroine is so pathetic that she can't control her 'body 's reaction' to him and accepts him so easily. I believe A person who leaves you during your struggle, doesn't deserve to be with you during your success.

Everything Is Fair In Love by Ruchi Singh

“His eyes latched on to the face that had been invading his dreams and torturing him for the past three years, despite the betrayal.”

Why Arjun shudders by looking at the person at the restaurant?

What happens when a couple get divorced and again they meet?

Tanya wants to Arjun forget his past. Harsh also tries the same.

The author describes how his dadi and Radhika’s nanny chatted while Arjun came in Panchgani. Arjun can never forget the day when he first saw Radhika.

Neha had been the rock of Gibraltar for Radhika when Arjun parted ways with her.

Were she and her momstill concocting all the schemes to trap Arjun?

Let,s find out by reading the book.

The cover of the book gives the taste of a thriller. I liked the intense plot very much.

The book is a love drama. Arjun, Tanya, Yash, Radhika four individuals with tangled fate trying to piece together their crumbling relationship as the plethora of emotions like envy, jealousy, resentment takes over as suspicion and later ultimately turned into a henious crime of an innocent life. That's all the spoilers from my side. The kept me on toes and is very engaging. The story takes an intresting turns of events as the beginning unfold itself bit by bit and the whole thing is packed inside a mature and appealing writing style.
Loved everything about this book.

Everything Is Fair In Love by Ruchi Singh is a romantic suspense. The blurb and title pretty much explain everything so I won't be talking about it.

I loved the twists and turns of the story. Overall, I enjoyed reading this one and would recommend it to everyone.

Good one..!!

Insightful what and what not to do in the name of love. Not every act is justified even if some one loves.. isn't there a border line discrimination between love and obsession? Good plot be Ruchi Singh.. and ya trust is the foundation of any and all relationships, and trusting the right person is always the key :) proved once again.. Pick the book and you sure read the book in a go..

Arjun and Radhika are divorced but aren't over each other.

Whereas, Harsh and Tanya try to split them away by distracting.

Soon Arjun starts receiving anonymous threats.

Okay, so I definitely am not going to aay what comes next but all I can say is there starts murders taking place.

If you start reading it then, you wouldn't stop until you reach the end.

There was so much suspense, thrill and intrigue to the plot that you would not want ro stop in the middle.

Anonymous threats, killing spree and the longing love.

The title, as well as the cover itself are very much attention grabbing and it speaks volumes about the plot that it is a mix of love, mystery, murder and suspense.

An unexpected and twisted end.
