Piu was born into an empire built on power, money, and blood—but inheriting it comes with one he must marry and produce an heir within twelve months.
His family expects him to choose a woman from their world. Someone polished, obedient, and worthy of carrying their name.
Instead, Piu chooses Rayzor.
By night, Rayzor commands the stage inside Piu’s club. By day, she’s a dentistry student building a future that belongs to no one but her. She has her own home, her own money, and no desire to become anybody’s temporary wife—especially not for a man who has spent years treating their connection like it meant nothing.
But Piu’s proposal comes with an offer that could change both of their lives.
What begins as a carefully arranged marriage soon becomes dangerously real. Old feelings resurface, family secrets threaten the empire, and the one-year agreement starts to feel less like business and more like forever.
Piu needs a wife to claim his inheritance.
Rayzor needs to protect the life she built without him.
Neither of them expected love to become the most dangerous part of the deal.
Exogamous is an intense urban romance about loyalty, legacy, forbidden love, and two people forced to decide whether their marriage is merely an arrangement—or the beginning of something neither of them can escape.
Arranged marriage with an FMC that doesn’t tolerate foolishness!!
I really enjoyed this book. Rayzor was the FMC I have been waiting on. She didn’t tolerate foolishness and stood her ground. She didn’t allow sex to cloud any decision or keep her in something when she felt like she was being mistreated. Pui was trying to inherit an empire that had clause to it. He had to have a wife and get an heir. His main issue was accepting Rayzor because she was her own woman and a stripper. This book was definitely worth reading.
This story was very well planned and executed. I enjoyed both main characters and the honesty of the storyline. I like that Rayzor was strong but knew when to be soft. Rayzor stood on business and was confident. Piu was more like his dad than he wanted to admit. He suppressed all the good parts of him for some reason. I also enjoyed the ending because it was real and is just the start of their story.
The writing was refreshing. Didn’t run into too many typos.
As far as the story….. Piu was something. He definitely didn’t deserve razor. Dude basically spent the whole book treating her like garbage.
It took her too long to stand up. He never really fought for her. He constantly played victim and didn’t attempt to realize what he lost until it was already gone. He definitely knew how to make her feel worthless.
This was my first read by this author. Even Zor and Pui got on my nerves just a tad, I absolutely loved this book. The realness and back and forth banter in this book was everything. I just wish the book was a little longer, with the characters getting back on track and showing them in family life for about a year. This author is definitely one the best in her craft!!!
This book was sooo cute. I loved the banter between Rayzor and Piu. I could not put this book down even if I tried…and I tried🤦🏾♀️😂. I’m just glad everything for Piu and Rayzor turned out the way it should’ve. They belonged together as a family. The author did a good job executing this story and building character development.
Yall!! Piu had me hot but I could not put this book down!! When I say Italia wrote the heck of his character she did that. I loved Razor she stood on business with everything. This was a excellent book. I hope we get to see Piu in daddy mode because I know he's gonna be great at it!
My first read from this author and she did not disappoint. I couldn’t put it down. There was love, passion, drama, and a whole lot of self discovery. I love how the MMC and FMC grow and learned how to take responsibility for their missteps. Can’t wait to read more from this author!
I would've given it 5 stars. But Piu got on my nerves. He didn't deserve Zor at all. And he never ever apologized for all of the hurtful things he said. And he continuously insulted, embarrassed, and rejected her more than he loved her.
New to me author….girlllll I really enjoyed this book..like really enjoyed because when I say you kept me engaged…from start to finish ….highly recommend this book!!!!
I loved everything about this book, especially the ending. The characters, the plot, and the emotional elements in the story line . Cant wait to read PART 2!!!!!!
