Since The Night We Met by Kajal Rai

A Fiery Tale of Second Chances, Secrets & Slow-Burn Love

Kajal Rai returns with another emotionally charged romance in Since the Night We Met, the second instalment of the Ever Since Series — and this one is packed with tension, grudges, unresolved chemistry, and the kind of heartbreak that keeps you glued to the pages.

At the heart of the story are Siya Kashyap and Abhay Agrawal, two people whose history is as tangled as the feud between their families. Once deeply connected, their past collapsed under the weight of betrayal and misunderstandings, leaving Siya emotionally shattered and Abhay carrying more guilt than he admits. When circumstances force them into an arranged marriage, the emotional temperature of the story shoots up instantly.

The author handles the “second-chance enemies-to-lovers” trope beautifully. There’s a delicious friction between them — anger, attraction, bitterness, longing — all simmering beneath every conversation. Their marriage begins as a power struggle, but slowly transforms into a fragile rebuilding of trust. Kajal Rai’s strength lies in her ability to show why these two hurt each other and how they slowly find their way back to vulnerability.

The pacing is smooth, with the right balance of family drama, personal conflicts, and romantic tension. The supporting characters are well-sketched, the emotional beats feel real, and the narrative captures that messy, complicated journey of loving someone who once broke your heart.

If you enjoy stories filled with painful truths, healing arcs, inherited grudges, hidden motives, emotional chemistry, and a satisfying romantic payoff, this book is worth picking up. As Book 2 of the series, it also adds a deeper layer to the Ever Since universe while still working well as a standalone.

A gripping, emotional ride with intense romantic tension and a satisfying build-up. Perfect for readers who love passionate, dramatic, second-chance romances with strong Indian family elements.
