This is how you write complicated relationships.

What stood out to me most was how believable everyone felt. Kieran wasn't your typical playboy who treated women terribly. He was charming, attentive, and comfortable staying in relationships he knew weren't built to last. That made every interaction feel so much more realistic.

The moment Marlowe came back into his life, everything shifted. You could feel the tension before anybody even said a word. And listen... I knew Raven was going to be a problem. 😂 The writing made it obvious she recognized what everyone else did. Kieran's heart had already chosen.

And that cliffhanger thoooooooooooooooo. 😩 Now why would you leave me like that?!

Captivated

Now this is how you write a story.

I loved how realistic the relationships and situationships felt throughout this book. So often, authors write the playboy character as misogynistic, cruel, or dismissive toward women. In reality, many of them wine and dine women while maintaining relationships they know will never become anything serious, and that’s exactly what Kieran captured here.

Kieran knew he loved Marlowe and Raven was a placeholder, but she was content in that arrangement as long as she was the one he came to for comfort. On the surface, it seemed like everyone understood the rules. The problem became obvious the moment Marlowe stepped back into the picture. Raven immediately saw what everyone else could see, the way Kieran was completely captivated by this woman.

The emotional tension was written so well that you could feel the shift in every interaction. That’s what made the story work for me. The characters felt flawed, believable, and painfully human.

I’m honestly sad that Part Two isn’t available yet. I refuse to be left hanging on that last page for long because I thoroughly enjoyed this book and need to know what happens next.

I really wanted to like this more than I did because the premise had so much potential. Childhood best friends, legacy families, billionaire heirs, years of history and an arranged marriage? This should've been right up my alley. My biggest issue was that I never felt like we got enough of Kieran and Lowe's history to understand their present. We're repeatedly told they've loved each other basically their entire lives and that Lowe has spent years running from him, but I needed the author to SHOW me more of that history. Especially because the little we did get made me question why Lowe was running in the first place. Kieran seemed pretty clear about wanting her while Lowe created an entire narrative about why he couldn't possibly commit to her.

Then the arranged marriage doesn't really become a thing until we're almost 80% into the book, they get married near the damn end, and suddenly Raven is at the reception with a gun. 😩😂 It felt like the story kept adding drama instead of fully developing what was already there. The ingredients were there. I just needed more emotional development, more history and better pacing to actually buy into this supposedly inevitable love story.

Hold Kieran more accountable

I understand Kieran was essentially a single, rich, playboy but everyone was gaslighting Lowe for not opening up and being vulnerable and trusting him. Did they forget he was actively messing with Raven? Yet somehow Lowe was wrong because the other women in his life were just placeholders for her. Seriously, GROW UP!! If you woman meant so much to you, you would show a little self restraint to prove you weren't a f#$*boy. But no, he took her moment of doubt and reinforced it my going and sleeping with Raven almost immediately after he had slept with her, because he was mad at her. And although Raven was trying to play a role she knew she was never offered, be fed into her delusion. Quintessential, don't sh!+ where you eat, not nope, not for Kieran. Somehow this super intelligent and wealthy man continues to exhibit the inability to practice self restraint and make good decisions. Truly all his success could and decent choices were the result of the people around him either saving him or talking sense into him. He seemed not to execute a single mature decision on his own.

Kieran and Marlowe love story man I couldn’t put this book down Monique u did your thing with this book.Kieran and Marlowe know eachother since birth and they had a love hate relationship. Kieran is the sexy playboy and Marlowe is a beauiful boss queen . The both heir and heiress of their family bussiness . I can say they have a lot of sexual tension between eachother . Kieran not afraid to tell Marlowe how he feels and Marlowe not ready to admit that just yet. Their family decide that it time for both to get married and it going to be arrangement guys when I tell you it get spicy because the only person he wanted to marry was her that his soul mate. There was a lot of up and downs in this story but the main thing got to do is watch out for Raven . Fav scene is what happened between them at Kieran family whiskey distillery . Love this book so much 10/10 recommend you read.

I love it here !!

I realllly loved this book! 😩🫶🏾 Kieran’s personal growth and Lowe’s fear of what it would mean for them to actually be together were my favorite parts of the story. This felt so different from the typical arranged marriage romance because the feelings were already there…the emotional depth came so naturally for these two. ❤️

I looooved watching them fall in love! 😭✨ But whew… Kieran’s past showing up and ruining everything? Absolutely not. Cause WOWWWWW. 😭😭😭

Now I’m over here counting down the days until Book 2 because that ending left me needing answers immediately. Monique absolutely did her thing with this one! 👏🏾📚🥃✨

Fate Knew Best!

I truly believed this was going to end differently, a lil left earlier. Upon being told I have to marry and within 30 days before the merger while being ambushed at an impromptu dinner by parents, when Kieran walked out, I was so proud.
Unexpectedly both Marlowe and Kieran agreed. What I didn't expect but absolutely loved was how they realized that this is what they both wanted but wouldn't admit. They had no idea of how they were fighting fate that was destined.
Now, Raven is in her feelings and caused a ruckus. I thought she'd do it a bit earlier, but she's done it now!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I have had the pleasure of really diving into this authors catalog and I love when each release brings something the last didn’t and you can see the authors growth !!!

But these two here 😮‍💨😮‍💨 talking about needing some pressure released . Lowe was so stubborn and my boy was just what she needed . What she always wanted , but Lowe wouldn’t be her if she wasn’t a time for Ki lmbo ..

From beginning to end this book will have you ready and wanting more ! Don’t miss out on another 5 star 🌟 series !! Download TODAY !!

[Rosetta Edwards-Ham]

Drop the next book asap lol

I can’t believe that ending! Raven girllll. What the world. She can’t be going out like that!! Lowe and Kieron are too cute! They have been playing this cat and mouse game all of their lives. Their parents stepped in and made them see what they needed too. I feel sorry for Raven though. She is obsessed with Kieron, but knows where his heart really is. Come on book 2!

4.5 ⭐️ New to me author. I ate this up. Kieran and Lowe was stressing me the hell out but I was so invested. These two just kept circling eachother but they are meant to be. I will say they was playing in other people face and cause for a lil side eye but we gonna stick beside them. Book 1 in the series. Ends on a cliffhanger.

[Quarmekia]

Hey Lowe 😫 that simple statement was everything!! Baby I adore Kieran…he’s a man in love with a hardheaded woman 😒 Lowe has fought and denied her feelings for this man for years and it was pissing me off. Kieran slept with multiple women because the one woman he wanted always ran from him and as far as that bitch Raven is concerned, hoe yall WERENT in a relationship 🙄 stupid

[andrea]

WOW

First time reading your books and won’t be the last. I have been seeing this pop up on TikTok so many times and I’m happy I read it. I need raven will end up being crazy. Now do I blame her… not really but damn I didn’t think she would go this far. But I do love that Lowe and Kieran got together.

[Nikita Nichols]

Oh my!

This was the first book I’ve read from this author and really enjoyed it. Could t put the book down. Now that ending…whew chile! I’m ready for book 2. I’m so glad my girl Lowe stopped running. Loved how Kieran stood on business and made his success his own.

[KEANA HUGHES]

Lowe Lowe

OMG! I knew it was building up to this….hope to read the next book sooner vs later. Sometimes the truth can be staring you in the face and a person can still see what only they want.

Obsession!

[Sequitta Casey]

NEW AUTHOR ALERT

OKAYYYY !!!!! You didn’t come to play. This book had me intrigued from the start. I love Lowe and Kieran relationship plus the vibe. The chase, true love , and bde. Everything was so easy to follow and i so adored their friends. They all kept it 100. Damn Raven!!

[latrell kelly]

😍😍😍😍😍😍

I feel like everybody misunderstood Kieran because they only saw what they wanted from him and not who he truly is ! ! ! Marlowe is running scared and Raven is delusional ! ! !

[Nicole Henderson]

Must read

From beginning to the end you will enjoy this read! Black excellence at it finest! Can't wait to read book two as that cliffhanger has me on the edge of my seat

[Shalece Kimble]

Okkkkk

WOW! That was a cliffhanger give me book 2!
Keiran and Marlowe just keep dancing around the obvious. Legacy waits on no one! They learn that quick

[Fineapplee]

Nah..

Very boring, Very predictable. Same stories being told over and over. And the trend of multiple books is tiring when it could have been all wrapped up in the first book.

[Brittany Mccloud]

OK

Hard to root for either of the main characters. Very predictable and little details to make you want to continue reading.
