Simmy is looking for this one! Arranged marriage, and I feel like I’ve read this trope before, but probably not this one. The one I’m thinking of was more of a historical romance…
She asks:
Hi,
Hoping you and your sleuths can help find this book I am looking.
What I remember is it was a mafia series. I specifically remember in the second book, there was an arranged marriage between the heroine and the hero.
On the night of their wedding, the Hero cut his arm for the wedding ritual instead of forcing anything on the heroine. It was either set in Chicago/NY (my memory is failing me now and that could be incorrect).
Other things I remember about the series, there was a family of 3 sisters. And the male lead was an elder brother. In the first book, the younger brother got married first.
You’re my last hope otherwise I am going to have to give up on it.
Anyone have a guess?
Gail: Ooops! The other comment has a similar storyline in a spinoff series, but you mentioned 3 sisters so it’s the first book:
Cora Reilly, BOUND BY HONOR – Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles: Luca & Aria
Jan: Is it Bound By Honour by Cora Reilly?
Shaleen: I was thinking the same thing.
Julia: Is it Bound by Honor Cora Reilly? Main characters are Luca and Aria and it’s set in Chicago.
Carin: That was a Cora Reilly book. Bound by Honor I think.
Kelly: Could it be Danielle Lori’s The Made Series?
Simone: Hi Maryse, The super sleuths have done it again. It was in fact ‘Bound by Honor’ by Cora Rilley. It is a pretty common trope so I was struggling to find it on my own. Keen to give the series another try especially since I only got to the second book. Pass on my thanks to everyone for helping.
Maryse: YAY!!!! This one has actually been asked for a few times in past reader questions… it must be REALLY good! Thanks everyone!! 😀
