Rebecca Gannon Arranged: An Age Gap Enemies-to-Lovers Arranged Marriage Mafia Romance (Carfano Crime Family)

 

When it came to Mia Carfano, all it took was a single look and I was done. Gone. Obsessed.

And no matter what I had to do, she was going to be mine...


I was going to start living my life for myself for once, but he had other plans.


Santino Antonucci.


My family needs to make a deal with his, and as the head of the Antonucci family, the only way Santino will agree to help is if I marry him.

I’ve never met him.

I don’t even know what he looks like.

All I know is that he’s fourteen years older than me, he was supposed to marry my cousin last year, and after he saw me at another cousin’s wedding a few months ago, he decided he had to have me.

If he thinks I’m flattered by that, I’m not.


I’m only marrying Santino because my family needs this deal with him to go through, and just because I’m agreeing to the marriage, it doesn’t mean I’m agreeing to give him any part of me.


Santino Antonucci is an arrogant a**hole who thinks he can have me simply because he wants me, but he’ll soon learn I’m not someone he can easily manipulate.

But then a mistaken encounter leaves us both wanting more, and while he says he won’t touch me again until I beg him to, from the moment we say ‘I do’, he’sthe one that’s doing all the begging.

And I have to admit, I like seeing him on his knees.


I went into this arrangement with a plan. With rules. But Santino wasn’t a man I could’ve prepared for. I thought when he slid that ring on my finger it’d be a prison sentence and I’d spend the next few years finding every which way to escape. But with each day that passes, I find myself losing my will to break free from the life we’re creating together.


Of course, so long as the enemy lurking in the shadows doesn’t rip my new life from me before I have the chance to finally be happy.


My personal review, thoughts, & no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read by me. 


Santino and Mia were get characters to read about. I enjoyed how the author crafted the story. It had plenty of romance and definitely kept this readers interest. Santino and Mia definitely had plenty of chemistry as well. Looking forward to what the author has the Write next.

Erin FitzGerald We All Fall Down: Colson Creek, Book One Book 1 of 1: Colson Creek

 

 I'm not invited to the family meeting that decides my fate, and when it's announced that Dad's retiring and I'll be taking over the farm, I know exactly what this is: A rescue mission. My brothers are tired of dragging me out of the bottom of a bottle, where I can predictably be found drowning my sorrows.


When Beckett's brought in to manage the transition, you might say it doesn't go smoothly. I can't stand that my family's hired a business consultant to babysit me. I know they fear I'll run the farm into the ground, and maybe I take my anger out on her... but I'm surprised when she gives it right back, and soon I'm looking forward to our arguments more than I should.


We were set up to be enemies from the start, and I tell myself I can't wait for her to finish out her contract and go back to Texas. But Beckett has secrets, some that followed her all the way to Minnesota, and I discover my life wasn't at all what I thought.


My Personal Review, Thoughts, & No Spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me!📚📱


What another wonderful read by the Author who has quickly become one of my personal favorites. I absolutely loved this story. What a wonderful start to this series. Judah and Beckett will definitely stay with me for quite awhile. This story definitely was a roller skating rink of emotions. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of the story. I am looking forward to what the author writes next.
