Book Review: Simha International by Sundari Venkatraman

Greeting Romance book lovers,
Our Author Friend Sundari Venkatraman has penned a Series: The Bansal Legacy. Book 1: Simha International I have seen shaping up from Sundari posting it as blog posts every week on her blog to it being released on Kindle. It has taken a long, marvelous journey. Proud to have read a few chapters as one of the beta readers of its very first edition. The complete story blew my mind. Sundari does it every time. Blending romance and a deep story plot.

What I liked:
A mystery to solve, a romantic couple, a working hotel as crime scene and lots of characters.
Sundari Venkatraman has deftly weaved the story with all these things incorporated in it. There is no dull moment in the story. Loved the way the flashback and present are presented without disrupting the reading process or taxing the readers brain keeping track of happenings. The language is good like always.

The characters are many and play their part smoothly. Everyone has a equal part including the protagonists. The feelings and emotions make you visualize the scenes vividly. The description of the places, people, situations adds to the imagination.

Hats off to the research put in the working of Hotel industry. I could feel I was sitting on Rohit or Tasha's shoulder and exploring the hotel.

I appreciate Rohit's way of handling Tasha's brother, Arun Gaikwad or the thief's punishment. Got him brownie points from me ;) I liked the way Tasha is confident, uses her brains and makes decisions. She is no damsel in distress but knows how to take a helping hand with grace. Her mother grated on my nerves as well as Arun. Controlling myself from giving out spoilers ;)

What I wanted more:
I was surprised at the actual theif and motive behind it. Felt a little bland ;) But like I said loved the way Rohit handled the punishment and turned it to his advantage.

I have read Book 2: Rose Garden International and now eager to read Book 3: Maharaja International
