I cannot say enough about this “Devil’s Deal。” Intriguing， sexy， captivating， mysterious， enemies-to-lovers romance。 The historical aspects of the book were amazing。 I have spent many nights awake reading Aleatha’s books， and this one was no different。 I could not think about sleeping until the last page was read。 I think I held my breath through most of this book！ Just when you think you have the plot figured out， you’re led down a different hall（ pun intended）。 If you have not been Aleatha’d， I cannot say enough about this “Devil’s Deal。” Intriguing， sexy， captivating， mysterious， enemies-to-lovers romance。 The historical aspects of the book were amazing。 I have spent many nights awake reading Aleatha’s books， and this one was no different。 I could not think about sleeping until the last page was read。 I think I held my breath through most of this book！ Just when you think you have the plot figured out， you’re led down a different hall（ pun intended）。 If you have not been Aleatha’d， you are missing the adventure of your life。 。。。more

I have been dying to read Aleatha's books， but just never had the time to。 This duet is the perfect start to many more。 I had no idea what to expect though but it hit absolutely beyond my expectation。 It is perfection from the first page until the last one。It's filled with amazing characters， Rett & Emma， who Aleatha really wrote very well。 Their story is dark， gritty， sexy， and very much suspenseful。 It was addictive you don’t want to put it down。 I can't wait for the next book。 This is already I have been dying to read Aleatha's books， but just never had the time to。 This duet is the perfect start to many more。 I had no idea what to expect though but it hit absolutely beyond my expectation。 It is perfection from the first page until the last one。It's filled with amazing characters， Rett & Emma， who Aleatha really wrote very well。 Their story is dark， gritty， sexy， and very much suspenseful。 It was addictive you don’t want to put it down。 I can't wait for the next book。 This is already a great start to a possibly epic story。 。。。more

FORCED MARRIAGE done right！ This was everything I could have ever wanted in a book where there’s forced proximity-Everett was so possessive， and Emma really was the perfect compliment to his alpha character。You absolutely have to read the novella before jumping into this。 I didn’t-and I felt like I couldn’t connect to the characters at first so I went back and all was well。 This book had so many twists-so many creative secrets that really pulled me into the world like no other。 I’m so excited fo FORCED MARRIAGE done right！ This was everything I could have ever wanted in a book where there’s forced proximity-Everett was so possessive， and Emma really was the perfect compliment to his alpha character。You absolutely have to read the novella before jumping into this。 I didn’t-and I felt like I couldn’t connect to the characters at first so I went back and all was well。 This book had so many twists-so many creative secrets that really pulled me into the world like no other。 I’m so excited for book 2！ 。。。more

*Before reading， go grab Fate’s Demand！ It’s the prequel & I suggest reading it first。*EVERETT RAMSES IS MY FAVORITE DEVIL🥵I am such a sucker for books that give me stories in Louisiana。 Especially when they do right by the culture。 Add in a billionaire alpha who takes what he wants， what more could I have asked for？ When a sexy as sin criminal head of NoLa tells you it’s either he keeps you safe or you die， you most definitely choose to give yourself over。 Right？

Rett & Emma hit the ground running。 From the very first page to the very last， this story keeps you intrigued。 If you've read this author before， you know exactly what I mean。 The push and pull between them is a slow build but the story itself keeps a steady pace。 There are so many secrets that are alluded to， you can't help but try to follow the breadcrumbs。 There's a reason for every morsel we're hand fed and just when you think it's all starting to make sense and fall into place， the rug gets Rett & Emma hit the ground running。 From the very first page to the very last， this story keeps you intrigued。 If you've read this author before， you know exactly what I mean。 The push and pull between them is a slow build but the story itself keeps a steady pace。 There are so many secrets that are alluded to， you can't help but try to follow the breadcrumbs。 There's a reason for every morsel we're hand fed and just when you think it's all starting to make sense and fall into place， the rug gets yanked out from underneath you。 You don't know what or who to believe and it just makes you more eager for Angel's Promise。 。。。more

I totally recommend reading the prequel， Fates Demand， before staring the first part of the duet。 It’s not necessary but brings extra insight。 Emma has just learned what she thought to be the truth about her life isn’t and she’s determined to find answers but when she lands on Everett’s doorstep in New Orleans she has no idea how badly the devil can burn you。 Can’t wait for the second part of the duet

Everett "Rett" Ramses， was the man that owned New Orleans。 Ruthless and feared， nothing stopped him from acquiring what he wanted。 And Emma O’Brian was on that list。 She was the daughter of his father’s rival and sworn enemy。 She was also the woman that he needed in his world， in his bed and ultimately to become his wife。 Patience was not his strong point， and time was of the essence for Rett。 He needed Emma O'Brian， even if he had to play dirty to get what he wanted。 With expert precision， he m Everett "Rett" Ramses， was the man that owned New Orleans。 Ruthless and feared， nothing stopped him from acquiring what he wanted。 And Emma O’Brian was on that list。 She was the daughter of his father’s rival and sworn enemy。 She was also the woman that he needed in his world， in his bed and ultimately to become his wife。 Patience was not his strong point， and time was of the essence for Rett。 He needed Emma O'Brian， even if he had to play dirty to get what he wanted。 With expert precision， he masterfully calculated how to get Emma to step into his world。 Into his bed and ultimately seal the deal of becoming his wife。 Emma O’Brian had lived through the pain of losing her family and finding out a family secret。 But she chose to turn her life around。 Moving to a new home and starting a new business with a partner。 They set up a meeting with the mysterious and evasive Rett to sign a deal for her new software。 Unbeknown to her， another deal was at play， and Emma’s life was about to change forever。 Rett tantalized her， commanded her， and controlled her。 He fed her titbits of information， dangling a carrot in front of her。 Emma felt the walls close in on her。 Scared and unsure of whom to trust， she makes a run for it。 Even though she knew that danger was lurking。 Had she made the biggest mistake of her life？ And will Rett find her？ Finally， she comes to terms with all that lay at her feet。 Trusting the devil comes with a price。 Had she vowed her allegiance to the wrong devil？ Especially when two unexpected guests arrive warning her of the man who now held her hand。 When all the evidence starts to pile up， will his hand be the one to take her life？ After all， he did warn her。 ––Ms Romig has created a story full of mystery， hidden secrets and more than one devil。 Her characters draw you in。 Rett was a character I can’t quite work out but one that played the villain without remorse。 The plot is thick with suspense and we never are sure in which direction the author is taking us。 The chemistry was hot right off the bat， you feel it， the push and pull， but know that Rett was in the driver seat all the way。 That man was rather talented and extremely controlling。 The writing flowed， intriguing you with every page you turned， until the end when you are left on a cliff-hanger。 And what a cliff-hanger。 Once you start， you won’t be able to put this book down。 。。。more

Emma is a young woman who's had her life turned upside down recently since all kinds of secrets are being revealed。 It leads to Everett， aka Rett， pretty much holding her like a prisoner under the guise of keeping her safe， but also telling her that he'll be the only to take her life。 Doesn't he sound like a barrel of laughs？！ Yeah， I'm not a big fan of his at this point to be honest because I'm telling you， I would have found a way to take him out because of so many of his actions。 I do wish th Emma is a young woman who's had her life turned upside down recently since all kinds of secrets are being revealed。 It leads to Everett， aka Rett， pretty much holding her like a prisoner under the guise of keeping her safe， but also telling her that he'll be the only to take her life。 Doesn't he sound like a barrel of laughs？！ Yeah， I'm not a big fan of his at this point to be honest because I'm telling you， I would have found a way to take him out because of so many of his actions。 I do wish that Emma would have fought more because he was totally over the top with his nonsense， and I don't care how much chemistry they had， it's not enough to put up with it all。 Obviously there are all kinds of twists coming in hot that had me not only calling him names， but had the f-bombs dropping all the way until the end where we're left hanging off the side of a cliff。 I'm hoping that there's more to Rett because right now， I'm not a fan。 I will say that it's Ms。 Romig's highly addictive writing style that has this the perfect read （plus that whole Duet situation that may or may not change my mind on Rett）， so I'll end with HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDING TO ALL！ 。。。more

After reading the prequel Fate’s Demand， I was really looking forward to Devil’d Deal。 I strongly advise you read this free novella before starting this book as it sets the scene nicely and is a good introduction to the dynamics between these two characters。 It is about Emma arriving in New Orleans and meeting Rett for the first time。 “Fate has destined our union。 It’s a deal for my city and for your life。 You may be an angel， but I’m the devil。”Emma’s life has been turned upside down since she After reading the prequel Fate’s Demand， I was really looking forward to Devil’d Deal。 I strongly advise you read this free novella before starting this book as it sets the scene nicely and is a good introduction to the dynamics between these two characters。 It is about Emma arriving in New Orleans and meeting Rett for the first time。 “Fate has destined our union。 It’s a deal for my city and for your life。 You may be an angel， but I’m the devil。”Emma’s life has been turned upside down since she arrived in New Orleans and met Everett Ramses。 He is enticing and attractive so she agrees to the deal he offers when he explains it is choose him or be killed。 He owns the city and wants her to be his queen because their agreement is what fate demands！ He has rules and conditions of what he expects of her。 She finds herself very attracted to him and he becomes fascinated with her。 He wants her to go against her instincts to please him， be strong and be the woman who she was born to be。 Rett is very persuasive and confuses her by giving her a glimpse of a softer， nicer side compared to the dominant， controlled version。 The story is as complex as the characters and the author lulls you into a false sense of security。 I was sure that I had some idea what was going on， then very slowly the story got more involved and as things were revealed I found myself totally perplexed。 The author very cleverly drops hints every now and then that you will start to question all that previously happened。 I thought I had worked out who was good and who was bad， even though Rett had warned good can come from evil and bad can come from good。 “Never before had anyone had that effect。 Under his touch I was putty and Everett Ramses was the sculptor。”I loved Mrs Guidry and thought her character inspired。 She was so appropriate to both the story and to New Orleans with all its stories and folklore。 Her talking to the spirits of dead people was amusing but also started to sow the seeds of doubt over all the families involved。This is beautifully written， totally engrossing with fascinating characters。 The vibe of New Orleans really comes across and it is so atmospheric that you will feel you are in his house with her。 The description of the rooms was spot on especially his suite and office。 The steamy scenes are as hot as the city they are in as their relationship develops。There is so much mystery and intrigue surrounding the two families both now and in the past。We are left with so many questions。 Who is telling the truth and who isn’t？ Who’s alive and who’s dead？ Who has killed who？ What has really happened over the last four years？ Who is responsible for all that has happened？ Is there still a rivalry between the families？ I can’t wait to get all the answers in Angel’s Promise especially after the cliff hanger we are left with。 It is a brilliant ending with a great mix of romance and shocking revelations。 。。。more

3。5 starsThis is my second from by this author and it was and wasn’t what I expected。 After reading Consequences I knew there was going to be a big twist at the end。 Sadly I figured it out before I got to it。 So the ending wasn’t a big surprise to me。 I’m okay with the characters， I didn’t connect with them really。 Emma was to naïve for someone who was independent and in control of their own life。 Everett is more cold and mean rather than the devil。 He doesn’t do enough to call himself that。 All 3。5 starsThis is my second from by this author and it was and wasn’t what I expected。 After reading Consequences I knew there was going to be a big twist at the end。 Sadly I figured it out before I got to it。 So the ending wasn’t a big surprise to me。 I’m okay with the characters， I didn’t connect with them really。 Emma was to naïve for someone who was independent and in control of their own life。 Everett is more cold and mean rather than the devil。 He doesn’t do enough to call himself that。 All in all this book was tame compared to what I thought it would be。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 So I read the prologue originally in the “One More Step anthology， and I instantly wanted more！ Tropes: Mafia， forced proximityThis is a story about Emma and Rett。 Each part of a family that were in control of New Orleans at one time。 They were partners， but something happened to they’re partnership， and they didn’t want to rule New Orleans together anymore。 It order to bring the two family’s together， Rett sort of forces Emma into marring him。 To me this was more forced proximity then captivity So I read the prologue originally in the “One More Step anthology， and I instantly wanted more！ Tropes: Mafia， forced proximityThis is a story about Emma and Rett。 Each part of a family that were in control of New Orleans at one time。 They were partners， but something happened to they’re partnership， and they didn’t want to rule New Orleans together anymore。 It order to bring the two family’s together， Rett sort of forces Emma into marring him。 To me this was more forced proximity then captivity。 Rett showed he could be cruel， but he had a different side with Emma。 Seeing Emma break down some of those walls was amazing to see。 Emma is extremely strong， and isn’t afraid to question Rett at times。 Emma had a lot of growth in my opinion through these pages。 She’s already shown to be the perfect Queen for New Orleans， and I can’t wait to see her character grow even more。 There’s something about the way Aleatha Romig writes， that complete sucks you into the story。 You may very well lose track of time while reading this one。 The author will make you feel every emotion。 You will fee fear when Emma does， anxiousness of whats to come， the intensity of their relationship。。。。 and so much more。 The chemistry between these two was off the charts， oh boy Aleatha Romig can write a steamy scene like no other。 I loved the power dynamic between the two， showing how Emma is the girl who bows down to no man， except in the bedroom。 I felt like this was a very realistic portrayal， of that kind of relationship。 I’m already extremely invested in their story， and I need more ASAP！ I defiantly recommend this book。 Warning: This is the first book in a Duet （other then the prequel）。 So it does end on a cliff hanger， but to be honest， it ends at the perfect time。 。。。more
