The Malhotra Bride; Sunita is a 20 something girl who is still trying to find herself in a world that is trying to mould her into a submissive puppet like most Indian women. That she finds her prince charming right at the first encounter is both unsettling and enchanting for her.
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💃Are arranged marriages the Best Kind!!!!?Though romance is not in the top five of my favourite genres,I do like good love stories. And I heard the book is author's self published, second edition of her first Novel. I have read her other book and had liked it.✏️This is a romantic novel more for young adults who desire to learn more about the culture of India.✏️Sunita is 20 yrs old and wants to never marry as she doesn't desire desire to just remain a house wife and mother. This is what she sees in her home. However,Her father determined that she will marry,and soon, someone whom he will select for her. Her father makes arrangements with Raj malhotra for Raj's son, Akshay,to marry Sunita.✏️ Akshay is described as sophisticated and a gorgeous hunk of a man ,who has been around a lot and is not prepared to get married at this time, at least as a member of an arrange marriage.✏️ Sunita hatches a plan to get rid of the prospective groom. Eventhough Akshay is quite smitten by Sunita. Sunita comes to know that her very strict parents are planning to hold a "swayamvar" for her. she hesitatingly signs a 'contract' with Akshay to be his bride.✏️ Whether she becomes the Malhotra Bride or not is for you to read and find out my dear readers. Though the contract was not used to it's full potential. I wondered to myself what if both sets of parents had found out about it? And then, It would have made the climax more nail-bitting. But well,that's just me and the author has done a fab job with the book so no, this doesn't take anything away from the book.✏️I would recommend this book as a quick weekend read to all Romance lovers of the world...
