I went in semi blind, but I have read the other books in this crazy mafia family, so I thought I knew what I was in for. I am really wonder where their story will lead us cause this cliffy gave me more questions than answers!!! Get ready for some extreme emotional ups and downs with this one! Joey and Adora’s story is really intense, definitely an enemies to lovers story, but more on the extreme loathing and hate side than lovers. My heart got continually battered and bruised with all of the emotional turmoil and angst being thrown around.

This book has a little bit of everything. If you love sexy bad ass mafia men who want to please then look no further. Don’t worry we have pretty amazing woman characters as well. Just know this book may make you tear up as well. Oh and do not forget the laughs. You may laugh your ass off. Get ready for a ride!! When you find the girl you are meant to marry wrapped around another, in the throws of passion what should you do...? If you do not catch up with her in her home state in Queensland, Australia you can typically find her traveling around the world, exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco, sitting on a beach in Bali, or walking through the streets of New York. I was waiting like crazy Joey's turn and wow!!! T.L. Smith had my jaw dropped to the floor from the very first scene!!! I wasn't expecting what I was reading and I knew from that moment that Joey and Adora's story will be explosive!!!The way they moved together was mesmerising. I literally couldn't put this book down, and I read the whole thing in one sitting. Which is very rare for me these days might I add!

And I am definitely sure I will not be reading Arranged hearts..slightly at a crossroads whether I want to continue with this world at all. Adora my gosh *swoons* she's amazing and so perfect! I loved that she lived outside the box society puts us in. Her beautiful heart, and her sassy diva mouth made my day!

I love Chanel and Lucas as well as Keir and Sailor. Trust me if you read all the books you will as well. La primera escena que tenemos de Joey & Adora, es cuando él (junto con su hermano Keir) acude a la librería de Adora... y la encuentra teniendo sexo con otra mujer. (Becca, la otra mujer, le está practicando sexo oral entre las piernas) My heart may have been disarranged when I met him. But now we have arranged hearts. Hearts that beat as one." But I will say, once they started uniting for the sake of the marriage, I really enjoyed them. Like a lot. As they had put it, they were in their own little “bubble”. And I really enjoyed them. They connected. I felt I had connected. It just ended up being wonderful however you looked at it. Tiktok - tlsmith.13 USA Today Best Selling Author T.L. Smith loves to write her characters with flaws so beautiful and dark that you can’t turn away from. Her books have been translated into several languages. If you don’t find her in her home town of Queensland, Australia you can usually find her travelling around the world to sitting on a beach in Bali, to exploring Alcatraz in San Francisco or walking the streets of New York.

I have loved this world so freakin' much and I am wishing for the author to give us more stories in this world!!! Piper and Jake are some of the secondary characters that I would love to see more of them... These two never wanted this kind of life, but they are been forced together in an arranged marriage that they both wanted desperately to avoid...Adora was hiding away from a fate that she never wanted and what better place to hide than under the nose of those that they are seeking you??? Of course this book ends on a cliffy like the rest of this service and I can not wait to see how it all turns out.

This is book 5 in the “Chained Hearts” duet world and book one of “Joey and Adora”. I believe this can be read without reading other books but they are all so good and the characters do show up quite a bit so I suggest reading them all!! Ok. Here’s the deal. I never read Lucas and Chenal’s duet so I am probably missing a huge chunk of Adora’s life. At least that’s how I feel. There seems to be some history with them, especially Lucas and Adora. Smith delivers a very well written novel, and with all the details, makes you feel like you are watching this story play out. By the end, readers were in tears with what they had read.Also, I loved that I saw my favorite characters from before and the weird bromance between Joey and Lucas was making me laugh all the time... I loved Joey from the previous books and his humor and heart really shined in this book. It took me a bit to warm up to Adora, but once I did, I loved her feistiness and independent spirit. They were both so passionate and sarcastic. I loved their banter and chemistry. It was off the charts explosive.
