But it looks like her plan is set to backfire on her.

About the author

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 68 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.
These days, the author is independently publishing her novels in paperback format under her banner Flaming Sun, printed and distributed by Notion Press.
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.

Krish and Nikita are almost similar just a little apprehensive about taking steps in life because of their backgrounds and what they have seen while growing up. While one wants to get it sealed the other doesn't belive in the very institution of marriage and therefore doesn't want to spoil the relationship at hand.
No one is wrong in this case because everyone has their right to emotions and the steps they want to take forward, and maybe respecting the other person's choice is one of the purest forms of love even when you know the other person in heart wants something else but still, sometimes we have to give them time, provide them with that wisdom to make choices by themselves only and not after being forced by someone else.
The last chapter has been depicted with most reality it feels like something called love and not just mentioned body parts which is quite rare to find in stories and that was a plus point in this one.
These are the kind of short stories that lights up one's mood and are fun to read as well the writing style was what made me happy it was simple and sweet and enhanced the experience of reading this story.

Krish and Nikita meet at a mutual friend's party and become BFFs pretty soon. The more they spend time together, the more Krish falls for her. When Krish asks his parents to approach Nikita's parents with a marriage proposal, things turn sour between Krish and Nikita. After months of silence, Nikita suddenly agrees to marry Krish. What caused this change of heart? Does Nikita really love Krish or is it something she did out of force?

Krish fell in love at first sight when he met Nikita a beautiful and charismatic girl who just graduated from University.
They instantly became best of friends. Krish was so attracted to her and head over heels for her but Nikita didn't want to spoil their friendship but she was also attracted to him.😍💞
So Krish asked his parents to talk to Nikita's parents about their marriage and that was it, Nikita was so so angry at him that she ran to his apartment and finished her friendship with him because she was scared that she will fail, and she will destroy their bond.
Well, the book is what the title suggests "The Reluctant Wife" but then there was a turning point after a few months when Nikita turns over at Krish's office to offer his marriage of convenience.🤭💕
📌this is an interesting read, I liked how Krish is devoted to Nikita and loves her so much and does everything to make her happy.💕🌸
📌I like how Nikita cared about her friendship with Krish.
This is a short story and can be read in one sitting.
📌when I saw the book cover and read the synopsis I wanted to read it. It's an interesting read. The language is simple and easily understandable. This book is about love and devotion to someone you love.
📌Each chapter is written quite beautiful.
📌Highly recommend this book. Do read and enjoy.💕

Krish has been back to India from US to get settled and guess what? He found his love in Nikita, his new friend. They became best friends in no time and started to spend all the time with each other.
Krish was mature so he decided to take the relationship to next level. He asked his parents to talk to Nikita's parents to get them hitched. However, when Nikita got to know about it, she was totally angry and broken the friendship with Krish.
What's the reason behind her anger? Is she scared of loosing such a dear friend to make him her husband? What is she insecure about? But anyways, Krish has got all ideas to get his love back to his life and How? Pick this book up to get to know all about this crazy in love couple.
So this was a quick and lovely read. I loved both the main characters. The language is lucid. The narration is gripping. I wish the story would have been longer. If you like romance genre and searching for a quick and easy read, just go for this book.
