Title: The Devil’s Pawn
Author: Tracie Delaney
My Rating: 5 Stars
Book Blurb:
An arranged marriage, age gap, enemies-to-lovers romance where touch her and die is not a vibe but an entire movement.
Before I was born, my father bound me to the powerful De Vil family. One agreement, forged in greed, turned my entire future into a transaction.
In four days, I’ll marry Alexander De Vil, the brooding heir to the De Vil Dynasty.
I know my place. My parents drilled my future role into me. Be a dutiful wife, an outstanding host, produce an heir and a spare to continue the family legacy.
Little more than a pawn in his strategic mind games.
What he doesn’t realise is that I have a few mind games of my own up my sleeve. My arranged husband is about to find out I’m nobody’s pawn.
But as the battles commence, the lines between love and hate begin to blur.
Is he truly a devil in a sharp suit, or the happy ever after I’ve always craved?
My Review:
An addictive enemies-to-lovers romance that had me hooked from the very first chapter. The chemistry between Alexander and Imogen crackles with tension, the banter is sharp, and the emotional journey is just as satisfying as the romance. I loved watching two strong-willed characters challenge each other while slowly letting their guards down. A compelling start to the series that left me eager for the next book!
I loved Imogen from the start. She’s sassy, funny, and determined to live her own life without rules, which of course leads to mishaps and adventures!
Alexander is your typical alpha male. He’s got that cold exterior, but we all know it’s only a matter of time before we see glimpses of that soft centre. As the story unfolds, we discover his backstory and start to understand why he is the way he is, and why he’s pushing Imogen away.
Delaney sets up the series by introducing the rest of the family well, leaving an ending that will have you rushing to grab book two!
I’m a sucker for an enemies-to-lovers trope with plenty of spice, and this ticks all the boxes. Looking forward to reading the rest of the De Vil Dynasty Series.

I generally don’t read romance (even though I wrote one, unpublished). This one sounds pretty tension-filled!
