Sameer Gudhate presents the Book Review of Falling for the Casanova: Lafanga – An Indian Millionaire Romance (Book #3) by Ruchi Singh


Let’s face it—there’s something irresistible about a story where love changes everything. Ruchi Singh’s Falling for the Casanova, the third book in the Mehra Family Saga, does exactly that. If you’ve read her bestseller Falling For My Best Friend, you already know Singh has a gift for creating love stories that are messy, heartfelt, and oh-so-relatable. And this one? It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, sharp banter, and some seriously swoon-worthy moments.


Meet Devendra Sherawat (Dev)—rich, charming, and a bit of a hot mess. His idea of a good time? Living recklessly while his lawyer Sanjana cleans up the aftermath. Sanjana, on the other hand, has big dreams of becoming a top lawyer, but Dev’s antics are costing her more than just patience. As she takes charge of reforming him, sparks fly, but not without drama, family politics, and a truckload of complications. It’s a classic opposites-attract tale, but Singh’s twist on it makes this book fresh, fun, and addictive.


Ruchi Singh writes with the kind of ease that makes you feel like you’re chatting with a friend. Her language is sharp yet emotional, perfectly capturing both the chaos of Dev and the determination of Sanjana. What I loved most was how Singh mixes humor with heartfelt moments—you’ll be smiling one minute and teary-eyed the next.


Dev is every bit the flawed Casanova you’d expect, but his vulnerability sneaks up on you. By the end, you’ll find yourself rooting for him. Sanjana is the real MVP here—smart, feisty, and deeply relatable. Watching her balance ambition with emotions felt so authentic. The supporting characters, from Dev’s sisters to his overbearing father, add texture to the story and make the Sherawat family drama feel real.


The pacing of this book is brilliant. From the first chaotic courtroom scene to the emotional climax, Singh keeps the story moving without feeling rushed. The twists are well-placed and never feel forced. I particularly loved how the plot jumps between Dev’s personal growth and Sanjana’s internal conflicts—it keeps you hooked.


At its core, this book is about redemption, ambition, and the healing power of love. It challenges stereotypes—especially the “rich playboy” trope—and adds layers to the story. Plus, it’s a gentle reminder that love isn’t about fixing someone; it’s about growing together.


I laughed, I sighed, and yes, I might have teared up. There’s something incredibly satisfying about watching two flawed people find their way to each other. The bond between Dev and Sanjana feels raw and real, and their journey is full of moments that will tug at your heartstrings.


This book is packed with strengths: vibrant characters, witty dialogue, and a rich, cultural setting that feels immersive. The chemistry between Dev and Sanjana is electric, and the story balances drama and romance perfectly.


If I’m being nitpicky, Dev’s early “spoiled brat” phase is a bit cliché. Also, I would have loved more focus on Sanjana’s career—it’s such a big part of her character that felt slightly underexplored.


I adored this book. It’s the kind of romance that feels like a warm hug—comforting, exciting, and just a little chaotic. I connected with Sanjana’s journey of juggling dreams and emotions, and Dev’s growth was genuinely satisfying to witness.


If you love stories with fiery chemistry, emotional depth, and characters you can root for, Falling for the Casanova is for you. Ruchi Singh has once again proven why she’s a go-to for contemporary Indian romance. Trust me, this is one book you won’t want to put down.
