Avid reader with a deep appreciation for a good romance. I’ll read any subgenre, especially Mafia romance but I usually skip the dragons, fairies, and fantasies unless the plot is really good.

So many typos

If you're looking for a perfect gateway into dark romance, this is it! It has all the classic dark romance themes, but it's not super dark. It’s the perfect "light dark romance" for readers who want the vibe without the heavy intensity of some other books in the genre, making it a super fast, sweet, and easy read.

My only regret is not starting with book one! I completely missed the first installment, but I'm officially hooked. If anyone needs me for the next few days, I’ll be completely MIA while I binge-read the rest of this series. Highly recommend!

A Forbidden Arrangement by Jay Wilder is a well-executed romantic suspense with a great premise. The story starts strong when the heroine catches her fiancé cheating, has an intense one-night stand, and immediately witnesses a murder that forces her on the run.

The plot takes an interesting turn when she suspects her mystery hookup—who fell for her instantly—is part of the crew hunting her down. Once he tracks her down, the ensuing drama makes for an engaging read.

It is a solid, interesting story and a satisfying conclusion to the series. Seeing all the brothers finally get their happily ever afters wrapped everything up nicely.

A fantastic addition to a brilliant series! A Devious Arrangement completely warmed my heart. I loved the dark, intense elements, and while he is definitely less of a stalker than his brothers, it still worked perfectly.

Watching him transform from a bored, detached guy into someone who completely finds his purpose in her was beautiful to read. The way he helps her heal through her trauma was so well done. It is a well-written and highly engaging story that never gets boring. I've thoroughly enjoyed this entire series and absolutely cannot wait to dive into the final book!

This wasn't my favorite of the series, and I'm glad it wasn't my first, but it is a quick and easy age-gap romance with some spice. The biggest issue is the opening; it feels like the first chapter is entirely missing, dropping you into a crowd of confusing, unintroduced characters. It likely requires a prequel to make sense, but otherwise, it's a grand, fast read.
