Heartthrob (ARORA IYERS Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Sundari Venkatraman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 212 ratings
Krutika falls headlong in love at the tender age of thirteen when she first sets eyes on the dreamy Darsh. That he is barely sixteen seems oh-so-perfect to the barely-there teenager. She never stops loving him when her father ties the knot with his mother soon afterwards.
Darsh has always led a serious life, his responsibilities as the man of the house weighing heavily upon his young shoulders as his birth father never showed interest in his own family. Later, when his mother remarries his stepfather, he could have lightened up, but it never comes naturally to the young man.
With Krutika chasing him blatantly, Darsh really doesn’t have a place to hide, not even in Boston which is as far as he could get, away from Delhi.
How long will he be able to stall the call of destiny? And a determined young lady who has decided to make him her life partner? And what about love? Will he ever find it?
Read this story which is both young-adult and growing-up-together, all rolled up in one; but nonetheless a hot romance.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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.

    One of the best ones. A out of the box love story handled with such finesse and grace. The relationship itself is complicated. Loved the story and the narration.
    Kudos to the parents who understood the dynamics and the way they are always around ready to help. Relationships and teenage always need guidance, patience and understanding. The book has all that and much more.

    I am in love with this family which is open and broad minded to accept and support the kids. Krutika’s love was respected and treated with maturity whether she gets her happily ever after is another thing.

    A kind of extension to Karan and Deepshika’s family this time to focus being on Darsh and Krutika. Darsh has always been very responsible and considers himself the man of the house since his mother’s separation with his dad. Matured and very gracefully he accepts his mother’s remarriage and his step daughter.

    When Krutika announces her love for Darsh and her intention to get married to him he finds it amusing. Their story goes through different phases of attraction, friendship, love. Whether they find their happily ever after? Read the book to find out.

    Pick up this and I promise you a heart full of satisfaction and smiles.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A sensitive, novel story
    Reviewed in India on May 17, 2022

    A fan of Sundari Venkatraman's work, her books are always worth the wait.

    This is a story about Krutika who is madly in love with her step-brother Darsh. At 13, she vehemently declares in front of her family that she is going to marry Darsh, who is barely 17. Amused and a little miffed, Darsh does not reciprocate her feelings. He has charted his own path, has already planned for his future and 'love' has no place in it. Also keeping in mind the complicated nature of their relationship, he does not want to do anything that might shake the status quo of the family. As they grow up, Krutika's love never diminishes, and she chases Darsh relentlessly, but to no avail. Until the parents intervene. Karan and Deepshikha understand the dilemma of their kids and handle the matter with utmost sensitivity it requires. What is in store for Krutika and Darsh? Will Darsh ever take Krutika seriously?

    The entire story which spans from the teens to adulthood beautifully depicts the various emotions and feelings a person in love goes through, and how their love matures with age. Krutika is adamant, bold, straightforward girl, who in a way is still childish and a babe in the woods. Darsh is responsible, an intelligent young man who maturely handles Krutika's attention until he's absolutely sure about what he wants. But for me, the highlight of the book were definitely the parents. Right from treating all three kids alike with maturity, I loved how they were a pillar of support for Krutika, and not making her lose face for being in love. Also the relationship between Karan and Darsh is beautiful. They are the role models of how parenting should be done; with unconditional love and understanding. Myra and Grandfather Gulshan were super sweet.

    A novel story with intricate family dynamics, executed with grace and delicacy, this one is definitely recommended.

    Krutu and Darsh’s romance is so cute ❤️. Deep and Karan have turned into wonderful parents, a team! When I had read about Krutu’s feelings for Darsh in once bitten i never thought to get to read about it in a separate story but loved every word of it. Her silly notions and their parents handling it so very well. Understanding both of their kids feelings and helping them was 👍🏻. I hope to get to read about Myra’s story soon as well

    Sundari mam is a great inspiration.. What a book mam. .. All romantic novels are the same, main leads fall in love struggle and then have happy ending, it is the content that matters. And you always seem to get us hooked to ur story. Everytime. This Is a story between two step siblings.. That itself is tbe first sixer. The the innocence of krutu, a teen aged girl... , parents getting a second chance, the understanding and the relation between the six people.... Excellent narration... Never felt an ounce of boredom. Perfecto!!

    Heart Throb by Sundari Venkatraman

    After reading this beautiful work by one of my favourite authors, I am dumbstruck that how love can blossom in any relationship, how beautiful the feelings are, and how beautiful the world is around you if you know how to accept each and every relationship.

    The love story of step siblings, yes you heard it right, out of the box love story written beautifully well and graced with wonderful parents'love and care. Krutika is 13 years old when she announced her love for her step brother Darsh who is 17. It was a shocker for the family but handled beautifully by the elders.
    The most important message in the story is about parenting, Deepshikha and Karan are the prime examples of how parents should support their children, how to handle the young adults, how every situation has a positive change to bring into our life and how the required space needs to be given to every relationship to flourish.
    Definitely a great read and a wonderful message for everyone. Accept every relationship.
