About the Author
Since a kid, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘happily ever after’ and grew up reading all the fairy tales she could lay her hands on, as well as Phantom comics, Mandrake comics and the like. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy ending.
Soon, into her teens, Sundari switched her attention from fairy tales to Mills and Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India to a local hero and heroine. Her imagination took flight and she always lived in a rosy cocoon of romance over the years.
Then came the writing—a true bolt out of the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.

About the author

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 57 books to her credit. These books have consistently featured in the Top 100 Bestseller Lists on Amazon India, Amazon USA, Amazon UK, Amazon Canada and Amazon Australia in both romance as well as Asian Drama categories. Her latest hot romances have all been on #1 Bestseller slot in Amazon India for over a month.
The Passionate Princess, Book #1 of The Princess Series, is the author’s first attempt at penning a historical romance. This book is #1 Bestseller in Historical Romance category on Amazon India for three whole months, from September 9 till December 12, 2020.
Even as a child, Sundari absolutely loved the ‘lived happily ever after’ syndrome and she grew up on a steady diet of fairy tales, Phantom comics and Mandrake comics. It was always about good triumphing over evil and a happy ending after the protagonists surmounted all unexpected obstacles.
Once she entered her teens, Sundari switched her loyalties from fairy tales to Mills & Boon. While she loved reading both of these, she kept visualising what would have happened if there were similar situations happening in India; to local heroes and heroines. And of course, the joy of vanquishing the ubiquitous evil villains! Her imagination soared and she happily ensconced herself in a rosy romantic cocoon for many years.
Then came the writing—a true bolt from the blue! And Sundari Venkatraman has never looked back.
The plan forward is to complete writing and publishing 60 books before her next birthday when the author turns 61 years. Use hashtag #60at60

The premise of the story is the liberation of Sunita; who becomes a Malhotra Bride and how it is a win-win situation for both Akshay – billionaire hunk and Sunita – a beautiful damsel. The story reminded of how it was to be so young and carefree, looking at the world with starry eyes. Dreams and hopes to fulfil and goals to achieve, even the naivety of Sunita reminded me of a time long forgotten in the grind of life.
It made me nostalgic, of first love, that innocent kiss that turned into something to cherish and those hot-tempered tiffs that landed me in hotter fun. The straightforward storyline has a few quick surprises and naughty turns that manage to keep the interest going till the last page.
It is a novel for young hearts as well as old because Sundari has been able to strike a beautiful balance between the modern younger generation that manages to cherish the values and ethics of the old.
I recommend this as a read for everyone who values love and family from 18 years to 80 years because this simple romance novella shows that it is possible to love and respect both your lover and your families.
Do pick it as it is the perfect summer read – fresh, fascinating yet packs a punch!

The Malhotra Bride by Sundari Venkatraman.
.
.
Foreword . What was intriguing in the title was that a south Indian author was writing about a north Indian bride and I needed to see how this story would pan out
.
About the book: Akash and Sunita are quite reluctant to think of marriage. Would it mean an end of their hard earned freedom? Both are perfect by themselves and perfectly suited for each other. The book goes on to capture how reluctance turns to curiousity turns to friendship turns to love. It quite does not end up how each of them wished but ends perfectly nevertheless. Sugary sweet. .
Takeaway : Things often do not turn out how we plan or wish for them to, however in some cases they do turn out better. :)

She feels depressed with the idea of getting married and felt worse as she does not have any say in matters related to her own life. Akshay is a successful businessman and helps his father to run the family business. Akshay almost skipped a beat hearing his father about his marriage proposal. Blessed with a charming personality he thinks of wedding to be an end to his freedom. Families of both Sunita Rishi and Akshay Malhotra are ready to tie knots while Sunita has her plans to simply make the boy say "NO" to her. What would be the result of their meeting? Would she become "The Malhotra Bride"? Find out by reading this novel.
About Writing : Sundari Venkatraman has crafted the story very well by keeping it simple yet interesting. The choice of subject is noteworthy as almost every reader can relate and connect to the story without any difficulty. One of the best things about her writing is that she has kept the flow and tone of the story remarkably smooth and understandable. There is no denying the fact that once you start reading this novel you won't be able to put it down. The story is not thrilling and adventure driven rather it is soothing to mind and one can read the whole story in one go . Its magic of her words and plots which places a permanent smile on one's face while reading and makes one feel the emotions involved in the story. No doubt the author has written each word from depth of her hearth and has poured her experience and wit in the story. I enjoyed reading this novel very much. Though there is nothing unpredictable about the story but even that has it own charm which adds value to it. The word usage is decent and every chapter makes you feel good while you read it. All the characters are beautifully sketched and are believable. One can simply relate each character to people around in the society.
The theme of the novel makes the reader understand the concept of love and importance of knowing one's partner. It is the understanding between the couple that matters the most. Giving respect and importance to partner's thoughts, dreams and ideologies makes the couple understand each other which further strengthens their relationship.
Critical Review:
1. The blurb of the story does not suggest the whole idea of the novel.
2. The novel is a light read and portrays just one side of the so called "Marriage Fears".
3. It offers too less to change reader's perception about marriage.
Despite all critical views, the words and story seem to come out from depth of Author’s heart and her effort is appreciable. I once again congratulate her and wish her luck for her future endeavors.
The plot was good and the characters were etched real! The writing was so flowy and caught me till the end.... I had to finish the novel in a stretch....i can't put it down...
A worthy read !! 👌👌😙😚😊💕❤
