Secret behind secrets!!! Had a good time!!

Love happens when you least expect it. Life is not always what you it. Secrets can be your biggest downfall or it can be your blessing. Family is not always blood. Family will do you the dirtiest. Let’s chat

Tattiana, lives that soft girl life as a cartel princess. My girl lives her best life and a daddies girl or so she thought🫣. I have to say, her paying for her father debt is so unfair. Let that had be me, yeah I wouldn’t make it cause ain’t no way😒. However, she’s not as innocent as she portray to be. Babygirl has a bag of secrets herself. Tati was a little slow though, what made her think she could escape the plan? Girl you know the life your family live🤭. I wasn’t expecting what happened to happen but ya boy Kaseem was already ahead of the game. He came for what was his. One this for sure, she was not going to let anyone play her. She had no issue holding her own and I loved it. The way she put them paws on ole girl had me in tears🤣. Stop playing with her.Now these secrets🤔. I think she has a baby somewhere but only time will tell. I need to know what her auntie holding over her head. One thing I do know is, I’m liking the route she and Kaseem is headed in. Just hope whatever she’s hiding is not her downfall.

Kaseem, is that 🥷🏽 and he knows it. I honestly wouldn’t say he’s mean or cocky cause he not. He’s honestly just direct and to the point🥰. He has no time for games. Wanting and doing all that needs to be done to earn what rightfully his, he wasn’t expecting a business transaction to turn into something more and so soon - Tattiana🤭. Ya boy was smitten by ya girl. My guy tried to fight them feelings but he couldn’t. She was giving him things no other has and that was being real and herself🥰. My girl got my guy all in them feelings to where he did something he didn’t think he would - care about her feelings and what she thought of him. Not only that, he took it a step further🥰. Oh but his mother, yeah it’s something about her. I’m unsure on what exactly but in time it will all come to play. I hope whatever it is worth his mother, it does affect them. The other concern is, I hope her secrets don’t have anything to do with the drama in the streets.

This was a read full of mess, secrets, lies, power, loyalty and betrayal. One thing Bonnie is going to is give you a mess good time along with strong minded FMC. There are so many questions left unanswered in this read especially with Tati father & Kaseem brother Zaire and I can’t wait until book 2 drops.

Every Time!

Bonnie can bring together an arranged marriage and with this one she didn't miss. TATI thought she was about to bounce to avoid this marriage she didn't want. Hell, she has a man. Don't know what kind of discernment Kassem had but he snatched her right from her car before she could bounce. Neither is happy about this. Hell, one of Kassem's tricks was still in his bed upon their arrival. That wasn't pretty.
An incident occurred at his doorstep, Tati helped with her cybersecurty skills. People were identified. Shipment was intercepted. Retaliation was swift from the enemy and hurt my heart. There's going to be smoke all through this city by the Carters. And I think Tati is going to have her husband's back still just as he's already started doing for her.
One thing I will say is Kadeem better get a handle on Zuri's behind. I'm pumped and readyyyy.

ARC Review

This book definitely kept me hooked from beginning to end. The storyline was intense, emotional, and full of unexpected twists. What starts off as a forced situation slowly turns into something much more complicated, and I really enjoyed watching the relationship development unfold. The tension kept the story moving the entire time.

Just when I thought I had an idea of where things were going, the ending completely caught me off guard. That cliffhanger was wild and now I need the next book immediately. If you enjoy suspense and stories that keep you invested the whole way through, this is definitely worth the read.

Unhinged + Forced Marriage = Bonnie Blanco Banger

Kaseem and Tatti were two sides of the same coin. Her father didn’t handle his business so now Tatti has to handle it for him. Kaseem is next in line to lead the Carter Empire, but he can’t take full control until he marries and produces and heir within a year. Thrown together by circumstance, they both vow that they’re doing it for their families and nothing more… well like any good forced marriage written by Bonnie Blanco, they find their way to each other. Their path is anything but direct because neither wants to admit what they’re both feeling. As soon as they start to build a routine HERE COMES THE DRAMA! Outside exes and flings that all of a sudden forgot what it was! FAMILY DRAMA FOR YO MAMA! From both sides! AAAANNNNDDD there’s death, secret affairs, old family drama & new family drama, some sex, some shooting, and some good old story telling.

I was fortunate to read an ARC copy & the entire time I was thinking “Is Bonnie gonna leave me having on a cliff!?” And she did not disappoint! I am hanging off this cliff by one dreadloc & I LOVE Bonnie for it. I can’t wait to see what the big secret is & who’s in on it!

It crazy how he was like u not going anywhere we going to get married no if and or buts about it .Tattiana was a thick smart woman because she was into computer and she help Kaseem find out who left a body at his house . Kaseem mother was making me mad a little because she keep giving Tattiana the third degree.Her father and auntie they can goes somewhere because why u blackmailing ur family and why u cheating on u wife.His brother is a playboy and was like Tattiana friend and want to see her. I can’t wait to see what next love this book recommend you read.

This is good, good! Although the cliffhangers have me in a chokehold, I am here for it!!

I knew Kaseem was going to fall for Tatti. It was inevitable. She was different from any other woman he had been with. She was smart, beautiful, and had own career and money. She was being forced to marry Kaseem because of her father's secrets. Now we know secrets don't stay buried, so when Tatti walks into her dad's office, she finds out the real reason he agreed to an arranged marriage.

Now, both Kaseem and Tattianna are catching feelings that aren't ready to admit. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Next up is Namier and the s@#$ just hit the fan if the call he received is true. Welp we have to wait until Ms. Bonnie Blanco drops the next episode.

The story was more focused on the conflict, than the actual romance and love. I’m all for the plot of the story, but I also want romance and they did not spend a lot of time getting to know each other. It was more of them clashing than it was of them liking each other. I’m 80% in this book and the most they’ve done is sleep in the bed together twice and admit to themselves that they might have feelings for the other. I also didn’t like the way his mom was kept “testing” this girl like she asked to be there. Like she wasn’t kidnapped. I hate this book and for her to have the audacity to end this on a cliffhanger like this book was good enough for it to have a second one is crazy.

I Might Just Be Falling For You!

Bonnie Bonnie Bonnie!!! Girllllll you and these door stories and cliffhangers have me looking for Newport shorts in Yule soft pack and I don’t even smoke 😂😂😂 The Carters are about to tear the city up the Brick Boyz better get ready. I’m loving that Tattiana and Kaseem are not beefing anymore and letting things flow naturally and baby I need to know her secrets I’m sick of her aunt. Her dad wowwww I wasn’t expecting that at all. This book is good. 10/10

If there is one thing my good sis Bonnie Blanco knows how to write is an arranged marriage and Forced Marriage did not disappoint. The book is a slow burn but there is plenty happening to keep you invested. Kidnapping, secrets, FMC got hands, a mean MMC (just my type). I loved the progression and change of the dynamics between Kaseem and Tattiana. The change was organic and not forced (bruh did kidnap her). But that ending! 🫣😩! I’m so ready for book 2.

ARC Review

If yall read Missionary with a menace then y’all gon love this one downnnn !

Tattiana is smart, beautiful but reckless & Kaseem the unhinged menace are forced to marry to protect lies & secrets. While they both think this is a business transaction, they find themselves falling for each other.

This book is messy, chaotic & toxic. Get ready for a ride

Please don’t let Namier start acting funny towards Nyla now. I’m so loving this book. It definitely keeps you on your toes that’s for sure. I so can’t wait for the rest because I feel like there’s still so much yet to be revealed. That we haven’t even touched the surface on!

Forced Matimoney

I should have known that this would be messy! Bonnie always takes you on a journey. Tatianna was forced is something in more ways then one. When will her secret come out? Kaseem switches up on us and I’m loving it! I wonder what’s gonna happen now? Their mom is the HBIC and I wanna know when she go make the bottom fall out? What have the Carter brothers done?
