Arranged Deception by CC Monroe

4.0

Emelia Notelli is the daughter of a mob boss and is forced to marry the ruthless, Nico Dante Valiente. He is also a mob boss and it is her duty is to marry him to join the families and keep the peace. Although instead her father plans for her to become an informant to take down Nico. What she doesn’t know is that Nico has a plan of this own. Will she side with her family or the man she loves to hate?

I’m not sure what CC put into this book, but I ATE IT UP! I was hooked from the prologue. This has to be one of my favorite mafia books I’ve ever read. Not only did you get all the HOT push and pull of enemies to lovers, but the business side of it had me pulled in from the start. This has to be hands down the best book CC has released so far. You can tell she put her heart and soul into this one.

Emelia was such a brat and had me dying with every interaction she had with Nico. I love to see an alpha-hole try and keep his cool, all while completely losing it on the inside and outside.
