The Blackwell family doesn't just run the music industry; they own it. Blackwell Records is a billion-dollar empire built on ironclad contracts, buried scandals, and ruthless enforcement. Preston Blackwell and his wife Janelle didn't build an empire to watch it crumble, and they have no intention of letting it.
That's why their oldest son, Hendrix "Hook" Blackwell, is being groomed to take the throne. The cold, calculated, and untouchable Hook has mastered every part of the game - except one. His parents have made it no wife, no crown.
A wife.Hook doesn’t do forever. He doesn’t do vulnerable. And he damn sure didn’t have a ring on his radar. But the Blackwells don’t make suggestions. They make decisions.
Then there’s Royal Carter.
Beautiful, talented, and quietly impossible to ignore, Royal wasn’t supposed to become a distraction. She was just another artist trying to survive an industry built to break people like her. But from the moment Hook crosses paths with her, something shifts. Beneath the silence, the tension grows. Every glance lasts too long. Every conversation feels dangerous. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to tell where control ends and obsession begins.
But while chemistry sparks behind closed doors, the streets are closing in on the Blackwell empire. Secrets are starting to bleed through the cracks, enemies are watching closely, and Hook may have bigger problems than the pressure to marry.
Because the one man built to protect the empire might be the very thing that destroys it.
The crown is waiting.
The question is — what is Hook willing to sacrifice to claim it?
Well I guess the title somewhat is in this butttt not like I thought. It's definitely a lot of moving parts and riddles but it's coming together more. This was a quick read but definitely needed more than one part. Can't wait to see how everything plays out...
Quick, captivating, and highly addictive!** I was completely hooked on *Signed Over to a Street Menace: An Arranged Marriage* from the moment I saw the title! Destiny Skai does an amazing job of drawing you right in, and the drama with the family absolutely keeps you interested and turning the pages. One of my favorite things about it was the format—having pictures included really added an extra layer to the reading experience. It’s a nice, quick read that packs a punch. I honestly can’t wait for the next book to drop! Highly recommend if you want something fast-paced and engaging.
5 Stars.Once again you have me hooked on your books. Not once did Destiny disappoint me in any of her books. If you haven’t read or heard about her. Now it’s time to.Good Read. I can’t wait to see what Hook will do. Patiently waiting for it. 🤟🏽
The story became less about Royal and Hook, and more about the dysfunction that is the Blackwell family. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to read book 2. I need to know what’s goin on asap!
This is a new ro me author and this book has been sitting in my TBR for a hot minute. I enjoyed this read. There are a lot of moving parts and POVs and normally 4 POVs is too many for me. But so far this is coming together well. Looking forward to jumping into part 2!
As soon as the detectives showed up at Razor's door, I knew things were about to get super messy and boy, have they. This book is full of twists and turns and I can't wait to see how the next one goes
This is a very good read. From the beginning I found it very entertaining. The characters are exciting and some very dangerous. I highly recommend this series I can’t wait to get to the next part of this series. Love and betrayal wow
Man I read this book last month and didn’t realize I didn’t comment on it! This book was everything. I love the family dynamics. 10/10 highly recommended.
