Arranged Deception by CC Monroe
5.0
Emelia is the daughter of a mob boss. She is forced in an arranged marriage to marry the most feared mob boss in Seattle, Nico. Her father is expecting her to send back information so he can destroy Nico. That is what Emelia plans to do, but Nico has other plans.
First off, I have followed C.C. Monroe on TikTok and knew that I needed to read this book soon as I could get my hands on it and let me say for my first book by C.C. this did not disappoint! I was hooked from the start and binge read this whole book, I may have stayed up way late and only got a few hours of sleep to finish it...but so worth it. I love how Emelia didn't hide who she was, she had sass and she showed it no matter what. She stuck up for who she was and didn't want to be "locked up" in another cage during this marriage, she made sure she had her voice. Nico, wow. I love how annoyed he gets with Emelia I laughed at the parts where she pushed his buttons. There is definitely spice, chemistry from the beginning with both of them. Plus, if you love a good touch her and die mafia man then Nico is it. The last 80% of the book...so good but omg! I enjoyed reading this book and can't wait to read more by C.C. Monroe.
"We created our own love language Emelia. We didn't do anything conventional."
Tropes:
- Dark Romance
- Mafia
- Touch her and die
- Plus size FMC
- Enemies to lovers
