Not Letting You Go...

Rate this book
Vihaan Singhania has perfected the image of a carefree Casanova.
Behind the charm and the reckless smile lies a man terrified of commitment—and the heartbreak he’s convinced always follows love.

Akshi Garg has spent her life making an identity for herself.
Born to a father who refused to acknowledge her, she learned early that love brings pain, expectations disappoint, and no one stays. So, she pours herself into her career, building her dreams brick by brick, with no space for messy emotions.

Love wasn’t on her agenda.
Love wasn’t on his radar.
But destiny rarely listens.


When Akshi and Vihaan cross paths, sparks ignite, desires collide, and a single night of adventure spirals into something neither of them is ready to name. What should have been simple becomes complicated—dangerously so.
Now they’re standing at the edge of something real.
Will they dare to rewrite the stories they’ve believed all their lives—or will fear win, breaking them before they even begin?

Not Letting You Go honestly surprised me. It starts off very simply, almost quietly, but somehow you just keep reading. And before you know it, you are attached.

I always liked Vihaan in the earlier books, but this one shows a much deeper side of him. He is charming, yes, but also very guarded. He overthinks, holds back, and struggles with his own feelings instead of magically figuring everything out. That made him feel very real to me. Akshi is strong in a calm, steady way. She has been hurt before, but she chooses to stand on her own and focus on her goals. You see her strength more in what she does than what she says, and I loved that about her.

Their relationship is messy and slow, full of hesitation, small moments, and unspoken feelings. The banter, the quiet care, the emotional push and pull felt natural. Nothing felt rushed. And that twist? I genuinely did not see it coming.

The family moments added so much warmth. The brothers, the teasing, the support, even the side characters made the story feel comforting.

Not Letting You Go is not just about romance. It is about learning to be vulnerable, facing fears you would rather ignore & allowing yourself to be loved when it feels scary to do so. If you enjoy stories where emotions unfold slowly and love feels earned, this book is definitely worth your time.

Not Letting You Go by @ruchichandraverma

This story is a very satisfying read. I truly enjoyed this book. Ruchi has written another lovely couple with a supportive family and warm, endearing side characters.

Vihaan and Akshi are super cute together. Their relationship, from friends to lovers and more, grows naturally. Their chemistry feels real, just what you expect from a couple that slowly falls in love. The story does justice to its tropes and nothing feels artificial or anything.

Vihaan and Akshi are not written as perfect people. They make mistakes. They assume things. At one point they even try to switch off what they feel for each other. But a situation pull them back together and change the course of their lives.

The accidental pregnancy trope is handled with a lot of care and balance. Writing this trope in an Indian context is not easy, and Ruchi does it with clarity and sensitivity. She knows when her characters are ready to move forward and when they are not.

And most importantly, I was relieved that the evil mother in law in the story turns a new leaf and starts trying to be supportive of her family. That change felt needed and refreshing. Thank god for the small mercies.

By the end, you feel happy that things turn out well for everyone, and you are already waiting for the next Singhania brother’s story.

This is the third book of the series. From hookups to exclusive relationships the main characters have come a long way. With a little twist, this book was good. I liked the character development of mother in law.

OMG, Casanova got the best story for his life. Vihaan and Akshi are meant for each other. They share the same interests 😉, their way of living life is similar, and neither is looking for a serious relationship, yet they found each other for forever ♾️. 

Vihaan and Akshi's story has all the vibes of a perfect fling-to-forever trope! I loved Vihaan's glow-up from Playboy to devoted partner and dad; that transformation arc is a chef's kiss.

Akshi holding it down through the rendezvous adventures adds such depth—their fiery chemistry jumping off the page.

Ayush, ufff.... my favourite Singhania brother had a beautiful role to play in the story. He is a true gentleman, a loving husband, a good big brother, and a caring and doting father. 

My favourite scenes from the book - 

✓ When Ayush and Vihaan had a serious conversation about Vihaan's love life. The bro-to-bro heart-to-heart conversation had me all hooked. 

✓ Vihaan announcing about his girlfriend to his parents, this one was a hilarious chaos 😂 😂. 

I am a proud Singhania Brothers' paglu, and this time, even the Singhania women left no stone unturned in showing their love and care. This series with these people has a different charm, and I couldn't resist praising their bond. 

The little generation of Singhania is here to capture our hearts with their cuteness.

The surprising elements were heart-touching, and the proposal scene was truly captivating. 

I had an amazing time reading this light, funny, and passionate romance. I hope you enjoy it too.

I was very curious to read Vihaan's story! I have to say that his transformation from being a Playboy, to a committed and a responsible guy is beautifully depicted. Akshi is another wild beast, and I loved her boldness. The banter and flirting between the two of them was humorous!

The first half of the book drifts by quickly with some snippets of their long distance and live in relationship. It's the second half that's more happening. There was rage, heartbreak, love and multiple emotions at one go. The way Ayush told Akshi that he's her brother made my heart melt. The found family trope of this series is the cherry on the top.

I knew there was something suspicious about that guy (not giving any spoilers), and in fact I was quite apprehensive of his partner and the way she would look at Akshi.

And finally! The Singhania mother saw some character development. Thank you Akshi for giving her a piece of mind 😂

She did it again. She stole my heart once again. I was waiting for this book because the MMC is the one & only Mr. Casanova of the family- Vihaan Singhania🙈 Oohhhh sometimes, I do crave bad boys & I knew, he's my type💅🏻

I finished reading this book in just 2 days & it was worth it!🌸

Talking about the book, I loved every small little moment that the brothers shared with their loved one's. The way they cared for each other gave so heartwarming vibes. I loved the chemistry of Vihaan & Akshi🌸 At first, I felt it to be a Lil bit fast paced but then I started enjoying their secret meet ups, their affair, their banter .....🔥

Strong FMC again...Akshi, girl has guts. Salute to her. I adored her even more when she kept prioritising her career every time. As the story unfolds, you'll get to know how strong she is...😍

My favourite moments- Vihaan cooks for her, he pampers her when she gets sick, the *Heartbeat* scene, Loved how supportive Ayush was for Khanak & Akshi, the bond between Vihaan & Tushti's Dadi maa.... everything was perfect except Mummy ji again😂

Must read! DO grab this book now & read the first two books in the series if you haven't read them yet!✨

You know some stories carry a warmth in their heart ? Amidst the pain and heartache somewhere, there lies a comfort of beholding that one person's name in, which makes everything feel bearable. That's how love becomes a strength from fear. And these beautiful feelings are explored through the love in 'Not letting you go' , book 3 in Singhania brothers series.

The Story catches us with events of previous books and Characters Vihaan Singhania and Akshi , being already accomodated through Khanak , Akshi's best friend and Vihaan's Sister-in- law. They both carry a similar fear of not being committed. Vihaan is a Casanova, only in for fun and no-strings-attached afterwards, while Akshi is a strong girl who holds her passion and dreams of being a successful designer, for herself and her deceased mother. Both hook up , just for fun . Though their meetings coincidentally became frequent as both enjoy each other's company as time passes on ....but...what will happen when no strings attached becomes "red string of fate" already tied even when they are unaware?

This book...the satisfaction and conclusion it provides is unspeakable! The chemistry between Vihaan and Akshi is fun yet beautiful. Even while known as a Casanova,Vihaan has something most people lack- decency. He is a true charmer, Gentleman - both theoretically and metaphorically. While Akshi is very strong yet at times vulnerable because of her history; her vulnerability is compliments well with Vihaan's steadiness and caring nature. Their interactions make me grin and laugh, like how can two person be so compatible?? They really won my heart!

There was a lot of character- development, especially in all characters from previous books in the series, we get to see our favourite couples, brother's bonds all wrapped up in this one , making you feel content and happy! Even redemption for antagonists! The twist had me really gulping down in anticipation of outcomes. And there might be a surprise for y'all in here ;)

I felt myself really attached to these characters and almost cried at the conclusion of their story. Overall, I am in love with this series and these characters, if you love a book that has both lighter and heavy undertones with strong bonds of family, then you MUST pick this series. Or this book. ( Lemme go cry some more happiness)

From 'one night stand' to being each other 'exclusive', this love story really evolves into the beautiful fairytale but with a little twist more like two little twists.

This is the 3rd book in the series 'Singhania Brothers' and the story revolves around 'Vihaan Singhania' & 'Akshi Garg'.

It's a story of two people who weren't looking for anything serious. One couldn't believe in love and other didn't feel that she can ever be loved, until they met each other.

Vihaan, the most handsome eligible bachelor, who is known for his happening lifestyle. Under all these aloofness there was a person who was afraid of any emotional attachment.

Akshi, a woman who has everything planned ahead and couldn't afford to fell in love as she has seen how love failed his own mother even in her last moments. She is strong willed and knows what's worthy of her.

I love the storyline & how beautifully all the characters are written. You can see their emotional depth and growth. Their love story and all the familial love it's gonna make your heart all fuzzy.

My favourite parts are where all of them are together. I can't select on part because when all of them are together it's really makes one heart into puddle. I really loved how the author has shown the family bonds that how they found each other and really appreciate their bonds.

She has beautifully weaved the story. It really gave me the warm feeling while reading and you're in for tears both happy and sad! I also loved how she has portrayed a healthy and happy adult dating life.

The story felt rushed a bit here and there. Also the storytelling can be more improved as it felt a bit off. Other than this, I really enjoyed reading it.

Looking forward for the Ishaan's story.

Not Letting You Go by Ruchi Chandra Verma is a deeply emotional and heartwarming addition to the Singhania Brothers series. Going into this book, I had a very different perception of Vihaan, shaped by his appearances in the previous books. I expected charm without depth—but this story completely changed that. Vihaan turned out to be one of the softest, most emotionally intense male leads, someone who loves deeply and falls harder every single day. His journey was beautifully written and genuinely touching.
Akshi is a strong, determined, and career-focused female lead who knows how to stand her ground. What I loved most was how the love between Vihaan and Akshi developed—yes, the attraction was instant, but the love grew slowly, naturally, and mutually with time. Their bond felt real, mature, and emotionally grounded, making their story even more engaging to read.
Beyond the romance, the Singhania family dynamics are a highlight of the book. The warmth, unity, and protectiveness of the family make them feel incredibly real, especially the beautiful bond between Vihaan and Ishaan, which adds emotional depth to the story. With smooth writing, heartfelt moments, and strong character development, this book leaves you feeling full and emotionally satisfied. A must-read for anyone who loves family-centric romances with depth and soul. 💙

"My only salvation was Vihaan Singhania!"

Yes Akshi, yes!!! I get you, I totally get you. Vihaan Singhania, a carefree Casanova, but behind this Casanova image lies a man who is so soft, understanding, sweet, gentle and absolutely charming guy.

Akshi Garg, the girl who tamed this Casanova. She is sweet, simple, independent, strong, and ambitious. My girl faced a lot in her childhood and that made her vulnerable and strong, but it also gave her trust issues in relationship and men.

My favourite scene in the book was when Akshi was sick and Vihaan took care of her, made Khichdi and soup for her, gave her sponge bath, and he was so gentle with her and when she asked why you did it, his response that you'd do the same for me, made me melt right then and there. Like this, there were so many sweet moments of them and some emotional ones as well.

As always, I loved Ruchi's writing in this book as well and I fell for Vihaan more. At first I thought, I'd stick to Laksh, but Vihaan won me over. Sorry Laksh, now Vihaan is the best Singhania man. I also loved the presence of Khanak, Ayush, Laksh, Dadi ma, Tushti and Ishaan. Now I can't wait for Ishaan's book.

Not Letting You Go by Ruchi Chandra Verma is a heartfelt contemporary romance that focuses on emotional growth as much as romantic connection. The story follows Vihaan and Akshi, two individuals shaped by past experiences and hesitant to trust love fully. What stands out is the slow and realistic way their relationship develops through conversations, misunderstandings, vulnerability, and gradual acceptance rather than instant attraction.
The author does a good job of portraying flawed yet relatable characters. Akshi’s independence and clarity about her self-worth are refreshing, while Vihaan’s internal struggle with commitment adds emotional depth to the narrative. Their chemistry builds quietly, making the romance feel natural and earned.
The writing is engaging and easy to follow, with supportive side characters that add warmth to the story. Overall, this book is a good choice for readers who enjoy slow-burn romances, character-driven storytelling, and themes of healing, trust, and choosing love despite fear.

Not Letting You Go is a beautiful read where the magic of love truly comes alive in a soulful and masterful narration.

The fun banters among all the characters, the beautiful bond shared by the Sighnania brothers and sisters-in-law, the sizzling romance of the lead characters Vihaan and Akshi makes the book thrilling to read till the end.

Vihaan, the eternal charmer and suave lover, makes you fall for him completely with his super cool and easy going personality, strong support, deep caring nature for Akshi and as a doting dad for his daughters Inaaya and Aavya.

Akshi stands out as an inspiration with her strong sense of independence, her worship for her work, her motherhood journey and her deep love for Vihaan.

Ayush and Khanak really stands out as awesome supporting characters in this book.

The new avatar of the Singhania mother-in-law and the positive aura of Tushti's grandmom is highly appealing.

Not Letting You Go is an emotionally charged romance that explores fear, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to choose love despite past wounds. The story brings together two deeply flawed yet relatable characters whose lives are shaped by abandonment, heartbreak, and self-made walls.

Vihaan Singhania appears charming and carefree on the surface, but beneath that Casanova image lies a man terrified of emotional attachment. His fear of commitment feels raw and believable, making his internal conflicts one of the strongest aspects of the story. Akshi Garg, on the other hand, is a woman carved by neglect and disappointment. Her journey of building herself without relying on anyone is powerful, inspiring, and deeply moving.

What makes this book interesting is how naturally their connection unfolds. Their relationship doesn’t begin with promises or fairy-tale emotions—it starts with attraction, denial, and hesitation. The chemistry between Akshi and Vihaan is intense, every interaction is layered with unspoken fears and unhealed scars.

The author beautifully captures the complexity of modern love,how two people can crave connection yet fear it just as deeply. The story questions whether love alone is enough, or if courage is the real requirement to make it last.

Not Letting You Go is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance filled with emotional depth, realistic characters, and moments that linger long after the last page. It’s a must-read for those who love stories about broken people finding the strength to love again even when it scares them the most.
