Read the Excerpt

“Sir, please proceed towards Gate No. 74. There was a last-minute change in the boarding gate for your flight,” the ground staff said politely. What the fuck! He had postponed his boarding to the last minute and now the gate had been changed. His heart was beating fast as he pushed his trolley bag and walked quickly towards Gate No. 74. As he reached the gate, he realized there was a lot of rush because of the last-minute gate change. Though the first-class passengers were given priority over others, he still managed to bump into a hassled girl with a bang. Both liquor bottles went flying and the trolley bag hit him in his shin, hard. 
He was waiting for the crashing sound of the bottles and when that didn’t happen, he looked up to find dark kohled eyes, smoothened shoulder length hair, oxidized jewelry and red lips glaring at the mess he had caused. 
SUE!!!
His heart stopped beating. 
“What the hell? Where do you think you are going?” Sue looked up at him. Her eyes expanded in amazement when it registered that she had bumped into Vaibhav. Reining in her galloping heart at the right moment, Sue enquired if he was alright.
“Yes, I am perfectly fine, but my duty-free loot might be a different story.” He picked up the packet and sighed with relief when he found them to be okay. He signaled a thumbs up to Sue.
“What are you doing here? Are you on this flight?” Sue was shaken. Not visibly so, but she was. She had gotten very good at hiding her emotions and it would take a professional to know that she was experiencing euphoria and dread at the same time on meeting Vaibhav. 
Before he could reply, a ground crew member came forward and rushed him to the counter and he could only wave at Sue while she was also being rushed at the Economy Counter.

The moment the seat belt sign switched off, the stewardess came to escort the girl sitting next to Sue. Vaibhav popped into the seat next to her immediately after.

All it took was one look. And they were in love...

Princess Hemangini is mesmerised by Prince Devendra when she falls into his arms while rushing across the royal gardens.

The Prince of Indrapuri is amazed that the Princess of Mahendrapuri is even more beautiful and graceful than what the visiting bards sang in praise of her.

Their mutual attraction blooms into love and they decide to get married. Tying the knot is easy, but consummating the marriage is another matter altogether.

As their love and passion draw them towards each other, Devendra’s mother, Queen Kanchana Devi, keeps throwing obstacles in the path of the lovers; sometimes in the name of rituals and sometimes inflicting doubts in their minds; doing her best to keep them apart.

As the frustrated bride and groom tolerate the intervening time with impatience, something happens to shake up Hemangini; something that makes her refuse to let her husband touch her.

What will the proud prince have to do to make his princess fall into his arms once again?

Read this historical romance from India to find out if the passionate princess finds happiness with her prince or not.

Sundari Venkatraman is an Indie Author who has 40+ 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. 

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.

Caught between three men, Asherah has to travel to her past to know her present. Will her heart finally recognize her true love? Grab a copy of Asherah now to find out.

MY REVIEW

I fell in love with the cover the moment I saw it—the colours and the background are simply awesome. But what really catches one’s eye is the young warrior princess in the foreground. 

I just had to read the book when it was ready. What hit me strongly was the beginning when that beautiful face—yes, I mean the one on the cover—is badly injured, with one eye swollen and one half of the face covered in dried up blood. Ouch! 

But then, that’s Rubina Ramesh’s writing for you, as hard as a slap in your face, making you sit back and take note.

With such a prologue, I was completely hooked.

There was a time when I was completely crazy about fairy tales. Reading this fantasy, I realised that I have not outgrown the love for magic lands and Gods and Goddesses stepping into the land of humans and interacting with them. 

The mysterious Lord El, the most powerful being in the universe, appears like a wisp of smoke in the story. His presence is strong but he’s rarely present physically. That takes some writing skills indeed to weave those scenes. 

Then there is the handsome stable boy Hamish. He is introduced so beautifully and impactfully—racing side by side with his horse. The scene gets etched behind one’s eyelids when you read the same. 

I couldn’t help but feel desperate that Hamish and Asherah should get together. But I could see the impossibility of it as she is already wedded to the most ancient God El.

Oh God! What a tangle!

And into this is thrown a parrot that talks. Mohawk not just speaks but is extremely intelligent as well. 

The story is pretty simple and straightforward or so it seems in the beginning. There is the evil Sandor who wants to capture young Princess Asherah. Refusing to give in to his demands, she sets out to fight him. While many battles take place, Asherah winning each one of them, Sandor himself continues to remain elusive. In the meanwhile, his powers seem to increase at an incredible pace.

Will Asherah be able to vanquish Sandor and find happiness with the love of her life? Read the story to find out more.

VERDICT: If you like magic and fantasy, you should definitely not miss this latest book by Rubina Ramesh.
