The Devil I Don't Know is the first book in the "Brooklyn Kings" series but this is also a very new to me author. I just saw some readers chatting about this one on Instagram and I was intrigued. I was immediately drawn into this one here and I will admit that the trope surrounding this one is what originally drew me into this here. I just have such a weakness for arranged marriages and in this one it just has such a traditional feel to the relationship. So if you are fans of Cora Reilly, Katee Robert or Neva AltaJ, then I actually recommend this one to you.
Now the writing isn't super polished or as drawn out as some readers might be used to, it did take me a bit to get used to it. But once I got used to it, I was completely hooked into this one here. I had such a wonderful time with this one. I just adored the characters here. It was so refreshing to have a hero that was so patient and understanding and not lashing out at the heroine. Sometimes we see this in arranged marriages, but in this one, they really worked as a team and he was so protective. I adored the heroine as well, she was such a good match. She was strong but also kind and empathatic . I found her to be so refreshing within this story.
Overall I had a blast of a time with this one and can't wait to see what is delivered in the next one, its enemies to lovers, so definitely will bide my time maybe on it.
