Book Review: “Owned By Me” – When Enemies Become Lovers and Chaos Turns Into Chemistry

Every romance reader has a soft spot for the mysterious one that character who hides in the shadows for the first two books, only to finally step into the spotlight with a story that makes your heart race. “Owned By Me” by Inaara Sheikh (final book in the Limitless Series) is exactly that kind of grand finale. It unravels the long-awaited tale of Safiq Khan, the youngest and most mischievous of the Khan brothers, and his lifelong rival, Insha Ali.

Safiq has always been the charming troublemaker, the heart-stealer with a reputation that precedes him. He can win over anyone with his wit and confidence… except Insha, who believes he is the bane of her existence. Their childhood rivalry has turned into a lifelong tug-of-war filled with sarcasm, pride, and unresolved emotions. Every time they meet, sparks fly sometimes of irritation, sometimes of something dangerously close to desire.

But things take a shocking turn when, just minutes before Insha’s wedding to another man, Safiq storms in and declares he’s marrying her instead. What begins as a forced marriage of convenience spirals into an emotional rollercoaster that neither of them is prepared for.

A Story of Rivals, Redemption, and Rekindled Emotions

Insha Ali, a free-spirited and ambitious schoolteacher, is a woman who values her independence. As the eldest daughter, she carries the weight of responsibility on her shoulders for her family, her younger siblings, and her own dignity. Her world is orderly until Safiq Khan walks back into her life and turns everything upside down.

What starts as a clash of egos soon becomes a battle of hearts. The more they fight, the more their walls begin to crumble. Insha learns that behind Safiq’s teasing charm lies a deeply loyal man who listens, understands, and protects without asking for credit. Safiq, in turn, realizes that Insha’s strength and spirit are what make her irreplaceable.

The author masterfully blends enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage, and second chance romance tropes giving readers a passionate yet emotionally grounded love story. Each chapter peels back layers of their personalities, showing how love often blooms in the most unexpected circumstances.

Themes That Add Depth Beyond Romance

Beyond its irresistible romantic tension, Owned By Me beautifully explores themes of woman identity, freedom, social pressure, self-worth, and forgiveness. Insha’s internal struggle between responsibility and independence reflects a modern woman’s reality torn between doing what’s expected and what feels right.

Safiq’s character, on the other hand, is written with surprising tenderness. He’s not just a charmer or a rebel; he’s an emotionally mature man who believes in partnership and understanding. His growth throughout the book is one of the most satisfying arcs in the entire Limitless series.

The Khan Family – Chaos, Comfort, and Comedy

One of the biggest strengths of Owned By Me lies in its depiction of the Khan family – a loud, loving, and delightfully chaotic Indian household that radiates warmth. From the overprotective brothers giving Safiq unsolicited marriage advice to the sweet sister-in-law who welcomes Insha with open arms, the family moments are equal parts hilarious and heartwarming.

The parents’ playful teasing and the grandkids’ adorable chaos make the story feel alive and real. It’s a family that fights, laughs, and loves together adding emotional balance to the intense romance at the heart of the novel.

Why You’ll Love “Owned By Me”
