Arranged Deception by CC Monroe

5.0

I ate this up. I felt like I couldn’t read fast enough to find out what would happen next. I loved Emelia and Nico’s story. It was something neither of them wanted nor expected when they went into this arranged marriage, but turned into so much more. They each had their reasons for why they were doing what they were doing but somewhere along the way things took a turn. I loved Emelia’s sass and confidence and most of all her fight. She did not back down, even when she had so many reasons she could have. Nico was rough around the edges and scary, but deep down I always felt there was something there. Emelia and Nico brought of things in one another you’d never have thought of. Throw in all the danger that comes with being in the mafia and some dirty spice. One of my favorite reads this year!
