In a Heartbeat by Neha Chenani Khanagwal
In a Heartbeat is not just a story—it’s a completely different world that pulls you in from the very first chapter. I found myself immersed in the magnificent world of the Bajaj family. Their luxurious hotels, royal lifestyle, power, and wealth are described so vividly that every scene feels cinematic.

Character Analysis
Mannan Bajaj
Mannan is one of those rare protagonists who smoothly crawls into your heart and stays there. He is a person who would move mountains for the people he cares about. He is that ‘One Green Flag’ every girl is looking for.
Meghna Sharma
A strong woman, for me, is like a phoenix, born from ashes. Strong independent woman born from the ashes of her husband’s death.
Aksh Sharma
Aksh Sharma is the biggest highlight of the book for me. Writing a six-year-old child character is never easy, but the author has done a remarkable job. His innocence, curiosity, mischievous nature, and emotional moments feel completely natural. He’s not just part of the stroy, but he’s the life of the story.
Supporting Characters
Every character contributes to the plot making the book all the more interesting. The friendship between the girls, the banter between the men, and then the mischief of the little one every scene written is remarkable.
The Plot
The story is about Mannan Bajaj, who falls head over heels in love with Meghna Sharma, who is a single mother, a resort owner, and a beloved daughter. The story revolves around the lives of Mannan, Aksh, and Meghana. This seems to be the love story of Mannan and Meghana, but the actual love story is between Mannan and Aksh. The author has so thoughtfully penned the story that you will instantly fall in love with every character. She’d taken care of every minute detail. A fated, intertwined love story, a beautiful family saga. There is drama, emotion, familial bonding, friendship, laughter, and mischief; every emotion you know can be found in this book. The author justified the length of the book, with the twists and turns and surprises.

In a Heartbeat is much more than a romance book. It’s a beautifully penned tale, full of love, hope, healing, and a second chance. I personally felt this book also counts as a novella. Because it not only tells you the story of Mannan, Aksh, and Meghna, it also gives you a glimpse of the life of the other couples in the intertwined series, who are living. This book surely deserves a place on your TBR.
