Sameer Khanna I had no intention to marry till I met Tanisha Gupta. More than her gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, her petite curves and sassy attitude, her accomplishments as the current CEO of Gupta Industries, and her commitment and dedication to expanding her company allured me. Though I admired her love and sense of responsibility towards her half-sister for whom my marriage alliance was proposed, Taani, was all I had in mind, she was the only one I wanted.
Tanisha Gupta I was looking for potential grooms for my younger sister when I met Sameer Khanna. More than his smart, charming personality and his oh so sexy French beard, Sameer’s eagerness to bring out my true self, the woman I used to be when my father was alive, drew me towards him. Much as I tried to resist him, my heart finally crossed the line it shouldn't have.
But were the sparks of attraction, compatibility, and respect that we felt for each other enough to sustain the Love that happened by chance between us?
A slow burn arranged marriage Contemporary Romance.

Damn… what a push & pull this story creates in the reader’s mind, keeping them on the edge till the end. I was waiting desperately for this after reading Mr & Mrs Kapoor and I must say this book is no less. I was in a daze for Vansh Kapoor until Samir enchanted me completely. What an ecstatic story it was. You’d love to read how Taani was fighting with her own self not to fall in love with Samir and how miserably failed to control her heart. The more she tried to restrict her emotions to flow out, the more she craved for Samir. After reading the first book, this book was predictable but then plots are always limited. What matters how author weaves the magic around and comes out with something enticing. So, Madhuri definitely can be termed as a magician when it comes to concoction of romance and emotions and this story proves that. Amazing is the word and I love the way Madhuri sketches her male characters. They appear like the next door guy and are very relatable. You start liking them from the very first scene for the strength of their character. This is indeed a must read if you are into romance genre. There are not much twists and turns but it has the magic to hook you instantly till the end.
Book : Love By Chance Author: Madhuri Tamse Pages : 207 Rating : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Dreams do come true, all you have to do is open the door when they knock.
No matter what the circumstances are, true love always finds out its way to the heart of two souls involved in it.
When I was reading Mr. & Mrs. Kapoor, I was totally clueless about the master plan of Sameer, the way things were processed there didn't give a single clue about Sameer and his efforts. Now when I have read his story I am dumbstruck and shocked at how cutely he has achieved his love and how beautifully he brings the real Taani out of Taani - The Machine 😜.
There was this pull and attraction at first sight between Taani and Sameer but behind the scenes the story will be this interesting and surprising was unimaginable and incredible.
Taani is damn lucky to have Sameer in her life who is not only in love with her but also brings out the true self of Taani. Taani realised how her life is around Sameer and without him. She is totally under his spell but the situation in which they have met is totally against them. Now Taani has to understand and realise where they stand and what's right for her and Sameer.
I loved the elder's qoutient in the story, how practical and broad minded they are to understand the younger generation and to help them make the right decision for their future.
The author has always left me in the flabbergasted situation every time she pen down the different stories with such intensity and grace. Bringing out stories from such deep emotions and feelings are not easy but the author is extremely skilled and gifted when it comes to writing such a mind blowing plot and taking readers to a different world altogether.
**Now I am waiting for Armaan Raisinghania to rule the heart of readers.. And Rohan unfolds his story.
I had loved Sameer's playfulness in the previous book, and was so looking forward to his story.
Sameer takes one look at Taani at a business conference and falls head over heels in love with her. Taani, pushed to manage her dad's business after his demise is a workaholic with no room for anything else. Busy hunting for grooms for her half-sister, Vidhi, she has no plans to settle down anytime soon. But often best laid plans go awry. Sameer sneakily gets close to Taani through Vidhi with every intention of breaking down the wall she's erected around herself. Finally relenting, Taani, who feels at peace with Sameer, agrees to marry him. What happens after they get married? Does their marriage stand the test of time? Will Taani be able to balance both home and work?
Sameer is a sweetheart, a dream guy. Totally besotted by Taani, and not afraid to show it; he is someone who fills her life with colours and teaches her to enjoy life, without guilt. Extremely supportive towards her ambition, he's also someone who takes pride in his partner's achievements. Taani is fiercely independent, goal oriented, and someone afraid to take risks. But the way she blossoms under Sameer's love is beautiful. Taking baby steps in learning to prioritise her home and work, she slowly comes to value and love her hubby. I particularly love her relationship with her mother-in-law. It is so cute, with the latter showing her the ropes of romancing her man. And the chemistry, I tell you, is smoking hot. A heartwarming story about relationships, asserting the fact that it takes two wheels to pedal in sync to move forward, this one is highly recommended.
Tanisha and Sameer get married in Mr & Mrs Kapoor. While reading Vansh and Vidhi's story, I wanted to know how these two get together... we could see the sparks flying right from the start but marriage without a back story meant their story wud be written in the near future. This was exciting... so when Love by Chance was published, I wanted to read it asap, just like other Madhuri fans 😄😄 I loved the first half of the story so much. Such an awesome unexpected twist... Wow.... and then the second half was exactly what I expected from Madhuri.... the cutey cutey love story of Sameer and Tanisha, which leaves u with a happy feeling... Sameer, just like all her male characters is so adorable in his pursuit, everyone wants a partner like him and I fell even more in love with Taani, the minute she decided to give up all her dreams for Sameer....
This one is another happy story from Madhuri ❤️❤️ and a lovely happy read
The story is about Tanisha Gupta (Taani) who is searching for a prospective groom for her half-sister Vidhi. Taani has no plans to get married as she is too busy taking care of her father's company.
Sameer Khanna on the other hand is a charming guy who falls head over heels in love at 1st sight. As he can't approach Taani directly, he approaches them through a marriage alliance with her half-sister. The story was as expected incredible. The writing is simple and easy to read. Sameer's character is who every girl dreams to be with. The supporting characters add value to the story. Personally love Sameer's mom Meera. The chemistry between Sameer and Taani is hot and sizzling. I'm in love with @madhuritamse's books. Her reels on insta make the story and characters more realistic. Her books are my go-to read. They always bring a smile to my face. Waiting to read Rohan and Ishika's story.
This is exactly what an arranged marriage truly is!
When I read Mr and Mrs Kapoor, I loved Taani's character. Strong girl with emotional side and up for supporting her half-sister, intelligent business woman, a great best friend but someone needed to care for her, love her for what she truly is. When Sameer comes to her life, she fights with herself unknown if she was ready for a relationship.
Sameer, a lover boy at heart but would do everything after thinking through. But he fell for Taani with love at first sight and decided to pursue her.
It was Sameer's dedication, love, sacrifice and care that Tanni finally gave in and married Sameer, the epitome of patience.
Alone they were themselves Sameer Khanna and Taani Gupta but together they became one and it was the best.
I loved the character of Meera Khanna, she is the most ideal Mother-in-law 😉. Supportive to Taani. Motherly figure. Loves Taani like a daughter. Unbiased. Gives her ideas and suggestions. Happy with Taani's success.
The book is entire package of a prince charming in an arranged marriage and supportive family.
This book doesn't have reference points. Taani and Sameer's love story is unique and the slow burn narrative is too good. We need more men like Sameer in real life. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this one.
Madhu, What can I say about you, No one can pen down the emotions like you, what a story, I'm not a person who can put words what I feel about stories, but I'm willing to try.
It's not Love by Chance, it's Love by choice by Sameer. He is too good, very understanding and selfless person. After reading your book every woman want a person like him in their life. And Taani, such a indipendent responsible person, every man need a woman like her
The emotional scene where tani get a monthly anniversary gift of photoshopped his father pic from sameer. Literally I had lump in my throat by reading such emotions. You are God gifted on this platform..
Honestly, Love By Chance was a fun, easy read. I loved that Taani finally got her own story she’s such a lively, relatable character, and seeing her navigate her love life was enjoyable. The banter and chemistry between her and the hero are cute, and there are some genuinely sweet moments.
That said… parts of it felt a bit predictable, and a few things could’ve been explored more. I also felt like some scenes dragged a little. But overall, it’s a nice, light read if you just want something easy with romance, humor, and family vibes. Definitely worth it if you liked Taani in Mr and Mrs Kapoor.
It is an eady read, rather conventional present day romance with no twists but a simple story telling. You can finish in one sitting in s couple of hours. Ok to read if you have nothing else to read or you are not interested in any serious stuff.
A heartwarming tale of unexpected love, sweet misunderstandings, and second chances. With lovable characters and feel-good vibes, Love by Chance is perfect for readers who believe in destiny (with a little drama along the way)
Dreams have the power to materialize; one only needs to welcome them when they come knocking. Regardless of the circumstances, genuine love inevitably finds its way to the hearts of those involved. As I delved into the narrative of Mr. & Mrs. Kapoor, I found myself utterly unaware of Sameer's master plan. The unfolding events offered no hints about Sameer and his dedicated efforts. However, having now explored his story, I am astounded by how ingeniously he secured his love and skillfully revealed The true essence of Taani - The Machine .
Although there was an initial magnetic attraction between Taani and Sameer, the intricacies behind the scenes proved to be both fascinating and astonishing. The depth and unpredictability of their connection were beyond imagination. Taani is undeniably fortunate to have Sameer in her life, not just as a loving partner but as someone who unveils her authentic self. Recognizing the centrality of Sameer in her life, Taani finds herself enchanted, even though the circumstances of their meeting seem to work against them.
Now, Taani must navigate and comprehend their standing, determining what is right for both her and Sameer. The story impressively incorporates the wisdom of the elders, showcasing their practical and open-minded approach to understanding the younger generation and assisting them in making decisions for their future.
The author consistently leaves me in awe, skillfully penning down stories infused with intensity and grace. Unveiling narratives from profound emotions is no easy feat, yet the author possesses exceptional skills, crafting plots that captivate readers and transport them to entirely different worlds.
