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.

When you confuse your teenage crush as love … And your love as lust ......

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2016

Even worse when you doubt your feelings now for someone else (wait not someone else but your crush’s twin) to be lust and not love….
Growing up in a haze holding onto your crush and slowly starting to believe you are in love with your crush even after not having met him.... Sounds crazy?
Well then Sanya is crazy.
Grab this for a quick romantic read to see how Sanya is struggling with her feelings for the tormenting twin Ansh when she is under belief she is in love with the nicer twin- Arth.
You have it all you have been expecting from a Sundari Venkatraman: sizzling chemistry, a beautiful love story, a handsome drool worthy hunk(actually make two ;-)), a beautiful and an intelligent lady(a little spoilt, though), and unexpected complication called 'Heart'.

Sensual, Serious & Swift

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2017

The premise of the book is evident from the title ‘Twin Torment'’ as well as the cover; that it still manages to surprise the reader is what is special about the book. The story traces the unrest in the mind and life of Sanya, a rich, pampered girl.

The story is handled in a mature fashion which appeals to readers past their 20’s even though it is about a young girl. The hallmark of a good romance is that it attracts all with its ‘love story’. All age groups can identify with the dilemma the main protagonists face.

This book has plenty of love; with Sanya’s story you get to read about the love of Arth and Ansh too. The parents to have their share of love! The best part about the book is the generous amount of love sprinkled within the pages. It rubs off on the reader too.

The boys Arth and Ansh are perfect Mills and Boon material and leave you drooling for more. In fact, Ansh’s character and personality are developed subtly almost perfectly suiting to the changing moods of Sanya.

Sanya, the little lost girl in the beginning quickly finds her calling and her inherent strength shines through during the hard times, making her more loved by the readers.

The author has sprinkled a generous doze of sizzle and sex in the pages, which have been handled with a lot of confidence. She had not just added pages about a roll in the sheets but has linked it beautifully to the powerful emotion called love. I wish there could have been more incidents as a prelude to the final one. The story moves at a fast pace and the various sub-plots mesh and take the story forward.

I felt maybe the story could do with a little more conflict or drama as most of the issues get solved in a very smooth manner. The fiery Ansh and vivacious Sanya were a potent mix; would have loved to see some more fireworks!

The novel is a breeze to read and I finished fast enough but the story and characters left feeling that maybe the story required more twists and turns. I appreciate that the author has achieved what she set out to do – give us a feel good romance with substance. She handled some sensitive issues as well as she detailed the sensual meeting of two lovers.
My verdict is: Go and grab your copy today, share as much love as you can!

A story which explores a girl to woman insight of falling in love. The characters are each unique and interesting enough to hold your interest. Good to see a young Indian woman given a chance to explore her potential and come out winning.

Entertaining and emotional

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2017

I picked this book mainly for two reasons: Firstly, the cover is gorgeous. Secondly, I’ve never been able to resist a story with twins (I even wrote one myself). There’s a third reason too. I know that Sundari Venkatraman’s books will entertain me and give me a feel-good vibe, and might even steam up my day with some sensual action. “Twin Torment” didn’t let me down on any of these counts.

Sanya is a lovely heroine. Spunky, a bit stubborn and self-righteous, full of energy and searching for something to do with her life. When we first meet her, she looks a bit of confidence and she lives in a bit of a dream world. She’s been in love with Arth – the angel twin – for half of her life, and so she jumps on the chance to see him again after years. But what she hasn’t expected is that Ansh – the devil twin – is the one who catches her attention. He’s also the one who pays her much more attention than his brother, and it doesn’t take long for the first sparks of attraction to fly. I like it that she doesn’t just give in to the pull, although temptation lurks at every corner. She’s determined to focus on Arth – and in doing so, she puts both brothers in a rough spot and causes quite a stir. Right throughout the book, she shows strength and a will of her own, and that makes her very relatable and likeable, unlike some romance novel heroines who are only swooning and full of stereotypes.

Ansh is to die for. I can picture him really well as the boisterous tomboy and the mischievous prankster when he was smaller. Something of that has carried over into adulthood and makes him irresistible. I’d have fallen for him hook, line and sinker, if I had been in Sanya’s place. He’s confident but not cocky, he actually pays attention to her and doesn’t just drool over her body, and he seems like a much better match for Sanya than Arth. It’s great to see her find something she’s passionate about and fight for her future, and to have the author wait for their sensual union until their hearts and their heads are really in it.

As for Arth, he has a secret to reveal (can’t tell as it would be a big spoiler). He could have been a bit more fleshed out maybe, but I get it that he is not the main hero, and he did have his time in the spotlight in Sanya’s childhood memories. It’s nice that he gets his happy ending too, it sends the right message out to readers.

The author touches on a topic that is still quite of a taboo, and I love that. It gives this book its special something, although even without this twist, it would have been an enjoyable read and credible plot. In “The Madras Affair”, Venkatraman touched on another taboo topic, and it’s still my favourite book of hers.

If you like fast-paced Indian romance novels that don’t shy away from controversies, have authentic characters and come alive in front of your inner eyes, then this is the right book for you.

interesting story

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2018

The story, the setting- everything fit in neatly in a small package. Sanya’s character developed very well from a spoilt brat to a woman who found the purpose in her life. Both Arth and Ansh came out strongly as main characters. The passion in the story was palpable.

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2017

Ms. Venkatraman cannot write. I got so exasperated by her clumsy phrases and silly plot that I quit reading the book and deleted it. Save yourself the annoyance and find other light, better written reading. Every now and then you will find a gem among the free books that make searching worth your while. This book clearly is not one.

Book: Twin Torment
Author: Sundari Venkatraman
Genre: Romance Novella
Rating: 3.4
Pages: 129(Kindle)

Twin torment is a short Romance Novella by author Sundari Venkatraman. The story revolves around the main protagonist Sanya, living in London with her parents, Diwakar and Bindiya. Earlier, before shifting to London, they lived with the Sharma family: Shantanu and Ratna and their twin children, Arth and Ansh.

Sanya has a crush, a one-sided love towards Arth, her childhood sweetheart. But her relationship with Ansh was just terrible. They have been enemies and Ansh had not missed a single chance to trouble her when they were children.

The story progresses when Sanya came to Mumbai again for a visit to Sharma's house and how the equations between the childhood connections change.

The thing I loved most about this book was how the passion is being represented here. I love the way how Sanya puts her efforts towards her passion and how a mutual understanding between people works when they want to pursue their dreams. In today's time when we hear so many stories about how someone leaves or keeps aside their passion and dream for a relationship, this was something which I want to read because this is how it should have happened.

Also, one of the most important things in a relationship is patience. Patience, to wait for the partner to live their life in the way they want. Also, giving them the mutual space they need. And this was also one thing that I loved about this book because it is represented beautifully in the story. And one more thing which is shown delightfully here was parents. The way they think and act is something which we all can feel and connect.

There were some things if included in it could have been more spectacular. Like, if the character of Arth have been explored a little more and his point of view have been added, it would have been more interesting to read.

Overall, the story shows pleasingly how can someone's childhood decides their behaviour towards someone and how with time, things change and so do the people. Go with the book if you want to read some light, short, romantic, and hot romance because it has some elements of hot romance in it.

Romance read

Reviewed in India on October 12, 2021

Twin Torment by Sundari Venkatraman is a contemporary romance. I am reading quite a lot of the author books recently as they are short, sweet and full of romance. They also have family intricacies blended in them so it makes for a good read.

The story revolves around Sanya, and two twin brothers, Ansh, and Arth. They all had been childhood friends. Sanya had a secret childhood crush on Arth, and when she had to leave the country, she was devastated to be away from him. But an opportunity appeared before her to rekindle that love. But things have been different from what she used to remember. She is confused between her long-awaited crush, and Ansh her childhood tormenter. Read the book to know more.

I like the character of Ansh, and how he has been defined. A sweet, witty, handsome man with mischief and stunning character growth.

I like the layers of the character of Sanya throughout the storyline. From being a party girl to a lovesick girl to a hard-working girl working on her career growth. What I didn't like was how she invaded someone's private life because she wasn't able to let go of her childhood fantasy and accept the reality and how she is feeling today.

The language is pretty simple. The entire book is a sweet, soft and rom-com style read.
