REVIEW: Devious: A Dark Marriage Mafia Romance (A Villain Collection Book 1) by J.M. Stoneback


 

Devious: A Dark Marriage Mafia Romance (A Villain Collection Book 1) by J.M. Stoneback

It's time to pay my father's debt.

Nobody is stupid enough to steal from him, Cayden Vitali.

They call him Devious for a reason. He doesn't let his debts go unpaid. He collects what he's owed.

Lex Bartoli works for Devious. Lex should know better than to steal his money. But mistakes were made, and now it's time to pay.

Unfortunately for me, Devious knows exactly what he wants as payment for Lex's stupid mistake.

Me.

Lex's daughter.

If I won't agree to marry Devious, he has another way of making my family pay.

The choice is mine.

Marry the enemy... or watch him kill my father as payback.

Devious is a mafia book with an arranged marriage, enemies to lovers and an age gap romance. This book contains graphic violence, dubious content, and may contain triggers. Devious is a 91k word book and has been updated and revised.

🌟🌟🌟💫/5

“You’re a bird who wants to spread your wings and fly, and I’m the monster who wants to rip your wings so you can’t fly.”

Lex, Roselyn's father, had a huge gambling problem and owed a debt from the money he stole from Mob underboss, Devious. The way to repay the debt was a forced marriage between Roselyn and Devious.

"I fell in love with the devil. It doesn’t matter to me who he was because I saw the real him. Not just the evil side, but the good side."

Roselyn and Devious kind of gave me Drogo/Daenerys vibes. There was a push and pull and he was a bit of an asshole for most of the book. But he did warm up and treat her a lot better.  However, there really wasn't really any chemistry between them. I did enjoy the plot and loved the whole mafia setting. The ending fell a bit flat for me too. Overall, It was an enjoyable story and did love the side characters. I do hope we see more of them.

I received an ARC and voluntarily gave my honest opinion and review
