This is the final book of the Whelan Irish Crime Family series. In Arranged Devotion, we get to know a little more about Liam. We first met him an Arranged Scars. He is not an actual Whelan brother but he is a very loyal, he might as well be an honorary member. Liam is on a job looking for someone who has stolen something from them. Instead, he finds Regan, the thief’s ex. She is vandalizing her ex’s car. He decides to have a little fun and approach her and tell her it would be better to burn it. Then he needs to talk to her and tell her about what was stolen which leads to a passionate night. He doesn’t get attached to anyone, but he’ll never see her again. He takes advantage and enjoys himself. Then, he’s blindsided when he is told he needs to marry the daughter of one of their employers. The crazy thing is it’s the Regan from the other night.
Regan is the type of girl that never does anything wrong because she doesn’t want to anger her father. She has a normal job alongside her father. She had the perfect relationship until she found out he was cheating on her. Having a one stand with guys like Liam is not something she would normally do. She finally felt free for the first time. However, when she’s told she needs to marry someone from the Whelan’s called Liam, she already knows where this is going and she’s not happy about it. Since she plays the perfect daughter, she has no choice but to marry him. She feels so betrayed because she thinks he knew. Will she be able to make this work or will they live separate lives?
BB Hamel had me on the edge of my seat from the minute they burned the car together. You can tell there was an attraction between them. They both felt something they wanted to avoid. I felt bad for Liam because he doesn’t know how to be a husband. He’s nice to her, but he’s never really there for her. He doesn’t know how to make it work and he really likes her. I felt bad for Regan because she always was trying to do the right thing. Yet with Liam, she felt some type of freedom and she thought she shouldn’t be enjoying herself with him. Their chemistry was great making their scenes really hot. It was action packed. It’s also filled with drama, humor, danger, heat, secrets, witty banter, and shocking twists. I really enjoyed this series.

Dark and Steamy Page Turner!
I absolutely had a blast reading this book; it was so much fun😊. Undeniably dark, bloody, and absolutely hilarious in all the right places—the humor kept the murderous madness from becoming too heavy and left me laughing out loud in the middle of all the chaos.
Regan Corrigan is the perfect daughter on the surface, but beneath that good-girl image is a woman whose shattered self-worth has been shaped by an abusive father. Being cheated on by a boyfriend you’ve had since childhood certainly doesn’t help her self-confidence.
Angry for good reason, she convinces herself to get revenge on her ex, and with one flick of a lighter, 💥 she crosses over to the dark side.
Liam Lankshear is a fixer for the Whelan clan and is Regan’s total opposite. Liam's a kinky, ruthless and morally gray devil. He’s true book-boyfriend material—murderous, dark, deadly, twisted, protective, and weirdly hilarious. I mean he kills people and somehow, I’m still swooning. Yeah, make it make sense.
Liam was unforgettable, but I also loved watching Regan’s character growth throughout the story.
There's drama, danger, suspense, twist/turns, Bratva enemies, violence, torture, abuse (mental and physical, mainly in the past), murder, arrogance, doubts, turmoil (emotional), rampant betrayal, consequences, guilt, sadness, resolution, lots of humor, lots of spice, passion/lust and ultimately love.
I thankfully received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
This was my first time reading BB Hamel’s work, but it will not be my last. Up next for me is Arranged Obsession because I’m intrigued by the totally psychotic character, Cormac.

Soo great to be back in the dangerous world of the Whelan clan!
After Finn and Caroline found their HEA, another threat to their operation arises. This time, a deadly and trusted lieutenant is tasked to marry, to secure the situation.
Liam is a knife in the sea of suits that make up the driving force of their business. Any task given to him is completed decisively and without question.
Regan has been handling the books for her father's construction company (that is important to the Whelans), but is blindsided by a betrayal that leads her to find herself in the center of a messy situation, and arranged to marry Liam.
I know! Tell me more, right?! Nope, no spoilers here!
Believe me, this has everything we love about this author and storyline. Huge betrayals, bloodshed and retribution, possessive claiming behaviors, kinks revealed and explored, sizzling chemistry and steamy scenes, found family and true friendship,
and So much more.
I absolutely recommend reading this series in order for the best experience and to avoid spoilers.
I loved how this couple found their forever, and cannot wait for more.
I received an ARC (thank you) and happily leave my thoughts.

Arranged Devotion is the last story in the Wheelan Irish Crime family series. It is well-written and suspenseful.
Regan is a good girl until she finds out her long-time boyfriend has cheated on her. She wants revenge and spray paints the car that he absolutely loves. A man comes and asks her if she wants to burn it instead. She doesn't know that this man, Liam, works for a man who wants to find her ex, Kieran. Kieran has stolen information from her father. Regan wants revenge so she agrees to let him burn the car. They share a night together and she leaves.
Regan is told that she has to get married and finds out it is Liam. It will help him get into a better position at the Whelan organization. Regan doesn't want to enter the marriage but doesn't have much of a choice. She has to play the part of the perfect daughter. What will happen to this marriage?
I loved how Regan was such a good person and very different from Liam. They were such a great match for each other. I loved how their story was so suspenseful. I look forward to more from this talented author.

Sometimes fate plays a cruel trick!
Regan is the ultimate good girl, until she discovers her boyfriend with the popular girl from school days. What she does next is so out of character and then it gets even stranger when Liam joins her with the demolition of her ex’s precious car. Escaping to Liam’s apartment afterward should freak her out, but the chemistry between the two is off the charts! Here’s where fate plays a cruel twist when Liam is asked by the Whelan’s to marry the daughter of one of their business enterprises and it’s none other than Regan. When Regan’s father demands she marry for the business, she is against it but knows she will listen to her father. When the two marry, the drama of her ex behind stealing sensitive information from the business which impacts the Whelan’s keeps you turning the pages to discover who was the accomplice. Regan’s relationship with her brother is also a key focus in the book that has Liam doing the unexpected for his wife’s sake. I didn’t want this series to end!

Good girl, Regan had her future planned out or so she thought until she catches her boyfriend cheating and wanting to get back at him she goes to spray paint his precious car but ends in a moral panic until Liam comes along and offers to torch it instead. Liam works for Finn Whelan, who sent him to find Kieran, her ex after he stole some documents from her father who works alongside the Whelans, in laundering their money. Finding Regan at her exs car wasnt part of his plan but plans change and when Finn suggests a marriage to Regan to keep her father close and Liam can be closer to the inner circle of Whelans, at first he declines he cant have the woman he cant stop thinking about as his wife, a distraction, only he cant see her going to anyone else either so he agrees even if Regans his reluctant bride, but will she realise he had her best interests at heart along with his own? Well written the story and characters draw you in with steamy desires drama action and more.

I titled this Did you Know for a reason. Liam is on a job looking for someone who stole from the family. When he encounters Regan she is getting revenge on an Ex by destroying his car. A perfect solution is to burn it and so they do. What starts out as a one night stand which they believe they will never see each other again becomes a family obligation where they are to marry. Yea know comes the good part where she thinks she been betrayed. Regan was the perfect daughter on the surface but life experiences has left a mark on her self worth. Liam on the other hand walks on the dark side. Hes everything coated in danger. Dark, deadly, a little twisted, very protective and has a hit of humor. BB has given us a great ride with this family of crime. We've walk on the good side and the bad but thru it all. They managed to find the one thing that matters above all, Love.

Dark Arranged Mafia Marriage Romance
This book was SO SO good. Regan thought she was marrying the man of her dreams (Kieren). Until she entered their apartment and heard/saw him screwing the Russian mafia daughter (Vera). So Regan gets revenge by spray painting his previous BMW. But this is so out of character for Regan-she’s a good girl. Never a troublemaker. And to make matters worse or better, depending on you like at it-Liam sees her doing it and gives her the chance to burn Kieren’s car. Naturally she takes the chance and the rest is history. Now Regan’s life changes in so many ways. There’s a connection and sexual tension between Regan and Liam. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat. What happens with Regan and her family when they discover Kieren steals from them. And how can she save her brother from following her father into the mafia life? And what role does Liam play in her life and the mafia? What happens to Vera? An amazing story.

Dark and Steamy
This is an intriguing dark mafia arranged marriage romance that took a number of twists and turns that I was definitely not expecting. It has loads of steam, suspense, danger and violence. Regan Corrigan is a young innocent good girl that toes the line in order not to make waves with her father while Liam is a dangerous bad boy that runs into danger. Liam never wanted a relationship, but this arranged marriage will put him instantly at the center of the Whelan Operation. Only the thought of Regan being forced into a marriage she does not want makes him want to commit some heinous, bloody crimes. Which is bad. He should not care at all. One minute Regan is ready to run. The next she is ready to stay. The truth is Liam is a bastard and yet she likes him. Can they fit?

This is a story that draws you in from the first page and never lets go. Liam and Regan are polar opposites and perhaps that is why they are so good together. There is so much action is this story and also a lot of violence some of which was too much for me so I skimmed over it. There are twists and turns I did not see coming and some I did, but the ending was both expected and totally unexpected and very satisfying. A thoroughly enjoyable read.

Arranged Devotion by B. B. Hamel follows Regan Corrigan and Liam Lankshear, who collide while both are searching for her cheating ex. Regan is mid-revenge, spray painting his car, when Liam appears, pushes the chaos further, and sets her on the path to burning it herself before taking her back to his place. An arranged marriage forces them into proximity as loyalty to the Whelan clan, dangerous enemies, and escalating attraction blur the line between protection and possession.

Another intense page turner from the very first page to the last. The action, suspense and twists had me on the edge of my seat. The chemistry and steam between Liam and Regan is hot! Love the characters and the storyline is fantastic. I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it. Can't wait to read more from B. B. Hamel.

BB's books always start off with a "bang." Never a slow burn. And I love that. Here, timid, rule follower, Regan is painting and burning her cheating exes fancy car! This is where she meets Liam and the sparks fly between them as well.
There's violence. Hot, hot spice. Funny, arousing banter. Found freedom. Impossible situations. So much entertainment. So good!.

When Regan finds her boyfriend with someone else, she is upset to say the least. She decides to take out some anger, and she has the perfect idea. His precious car is her target, but she doesn't expect to get interrupted and then get a helping hand. When she is thrown into a world she knew nothing about, she never expects to see her partner in crime again. This was really entertaining. Plenty of twists and turns.

Liam and Reagan
I really liked Liam in Finn's story and was excited to see Liam get his own story. Liam is majorly unhinged. The events escalate quickly to chaos after he meets Raegan and her corruption begins. The reasoning behind why they have to get married is thin and vague.Her father is a nasty man and it was satisfying to see Liam handle him. There were a few things that were loosely explained and vague,but as a whole it is an excellent book.

The Whelan Irish family continues with great MCs, full of twist, drama and of course heat. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author just has a way with words and a way to make us envision that world so clearly and bringing the characters to life, and of course the chemistry and attraction between these two helps too.
