Review: Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt by Swati Hegde

Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt by Swati Hegde

Blurb from Goodreads:

In this second-chance workplace romance, two lawyers find themselves working in the same office after a steamy vacation fling a year and a half ago, from the author of Can't Help Faking in Love

Naina Shetty is a proud workaholic, and she is gunning for a promotion at her law firm. No distractions will get in her way this time, not even the bad breakup that happened over a year ago. She brushed off her pain with a long vacation and a no-strings-attached fling with a handsome stranger, but now Naina is back to business.

Unlucky-in-love Tejas Rajput hasn’t stopped thinking about the brown-eyed beauty he met on the beaches of Goa two summers ago. He’d been looking for a rebound to get over his ex—which is why he’d agreed to keep things strictly casual, use fake last names, and respond to all personal questions with “wrong answers only.” But he didn’t think he’d fall for her, hard, only for her to get on a plane and leave.

When they cross paths again—this time working at the same office—Naina is adamant that her no-relationships policy won’t change, especially not for Tejas, whose disarming smile and easygoing charm could spell trouble. Her career will always come first.

But as they team up for a case that could make or break their firm’s reputation, they discover that there’s something more than just sparks between them—and it might turn out to be true love.

 

I really enjoyed the last book I read by this author and this one was great, too.  I've always want to go to Goa since seeing Bride & Prejudice and the chapters set there were awesome!  As were the chapter set in Banglaore -- I liked hearing about the Indian judicial system and process as a backdrop to second chance romance.  Definitely give this one a try!!

Love Beyond Reasonable Doubt comes out next week on May 12, 2026 and you can purchase HERE.  

Everyone at work knew Naina Shetty was the queen of confrontation. No one could be a good lawyer without easily facing things head-on, and Naina was the best senior legal associate on the Akhtar, Kumble & Co. team.

But right now, as she crouched under her perfectly tidy desk, hoping the two short walls of her cubicle hid her from view, confrontation seemed like the most terrifying thing in the world.

She peered through the glass windows of her boss's office in the distance, recognizing the handsome not-at-all-a-stranger shaking Iqbal Akhtar's hand, and whispered, "Shit."
