Itโ€™s time to pay my fatherโ€™s debt.

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

They call him Devious for a reason. He doesnโ€™t let his debts go unpaid. He collects what heโ€™s owed.

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

Unfortunately for me, Devious knows exactly what he wants as payment for Lexโ€™s stupid mistake.

Me.

Lexโ€™s daughter.

If I wonโ€™t agree to marry Devious, he has another way of making my family pay.

The choice is mine.

Marry the enemyโ€ฆ 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.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This was  a solid read but I just couldn’t like one of the characters which is why I took off a star.  That doesn’t mean you wouldn’t love it. So, please remember to always take my reviews with a grain of salt. Just because I think a book is okay doesn’t mean you won’t be over the moon for it.

I had a real problem with Roselyn at times. I mean she grew up in this lifestyle and yet she acted like a novice when it came to things. She acts like a sheltered child sometimes and other times like she knows her own mind. I wish she had been a much stronger character. It wasn’t that she was a horrible character I just couldn’t relate to her.

Devious is the redeemer of this book! He is awesome as a Don and there are times I felt sorry for him. He was beyond patient with Roselyn and he is the reason the book got four stars! For me he is the way a mafia don should be written, dark and demanding, willing to say your daughter or your life! For me Devious was the perfect hero for this book and I think Roselyn and him would have been the perfect couple if I could have liked her more. While I don’t think he needed a super strong woman I think he needed someone a little more…something.

  1. This book reminds me of ancient days when queens were forced to marry kings from different cities to keep the peace.
