"Fatally beautiful. Gut-tightening intensity. Off the charts sexual chemistry and a love story unlike any other. You will devour this tale by RK Lilley and only want more." (Audrey Carlan, number one New York Times bestselling author)

"Classic RK Lilley with all the angst, steam, and edginess she does so damn well. I loved it!" (Kylie Scott, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author)

“Some books are simply better than others. This is one of those books. Calder Banks Castelo is a jerk of epic proportions. Jerk-a-licious perfection. Banks and Noura together light this on fire. Sensual, angsty, exquisite. Don’t miss it.” (Jana Aston, New York Times bestselling author)

There were rules in the cash-for-beauty game. The money held the power. The beauty followed the rules and jumped through the hoops.

The Bride

I knew what everyone would think if they knew the truth about my marriage. They'd be shocked and appalled. And rightly so. I was a young, modern, independent woman, and I'd done the unthinkable. I'd sold my virginity to a spoiled rich boy. To a stranger who didn’t love me. And yes, I'd done it all for money.

The Groom

My bride was as gorgeous as she was unwelcome. As desirable as she was unwanted. I wanted nothing to do with her, but that didn’t seem to matter exactly the second she got close enough to touch. I wanted her to hate me more than she loved the millions she’d sold herself for. I wanted to spurn her, but unfortunately, I wanted to f**k her more.

Arranged is a standalone erotic romance.

I enjoyed the story but struggled with Nora's character in the beginning. I get that people start the modeling business really young but there was no reason why Nora couldn't be 21 at the beginning if the story instead of 18 (even if 18 is legal to marry). It made it a bit hard to read and not feel like Banks was doing something wrong due to the age difference and how young Nora was. I was also getting tired of all the crap she had to put up with without standing for herself too much. In the end the story wrapped nicely although I wished Nora would have made Banks suffer longer than he did before taking him back. Will highly recommend the read. Narrators were great. I just wish the male narrator read more.

Great Read. Storyline could be better

I liked this story, but not as well as other R.K. Lilley books. The end seemed rushed. Still a good story that is well worth a credit.

Storyline is clichè but the characters are well developed and it has the right conflict. I love how the story unfolded: it isn't a drag to read from start to finish. When I pick books, I tend to see reviews and the number following the stars. This one doesn't have a lot of reads yet but it I picked it because the reviews seemed the most honest 5-star of reviews around. ^^ All worth it!

Hooked from start to finish!

*Minor spoilers * Really good but…shoosh there’s a LOT bad than good. I wish there had been more time towards the end for more good in the relationship. This is a pretty dark book with a ton of humiliation, and not for bdsm humiliation purposes. Just mean for the sake of mean. I’m going to see of there’s a book 2 so I can see if maybe the story continues in a more positive manner. I think this book would have benefited from an epilogue maybe. That said, the writing and dialogue are way too believable and you just feel the FMCs pain as if you’re right there with her. She really needs some good in her life! The steamy bits are def well done so there’s that. I loved the narrators as well. So like I said, hopefully there’s a book 2 for this couple!

Really good but.,,

My Top Favorite Reflection:
‘Life is full of giving, taking, borrowing, and moving on.
And balance.’ ~Noura

I ❤ how Noura and Banks eventually figured this out.
•*¨*•
Writing style: Dual POVs (Noura’s & Banks’)
Cover gush: The colors (purple and pink especially) are so gorgeous, and I love the overlay of images as well.
Collected in Dual Formats – Yes or No? Yes!
I own a copy in Kindle e-book & Audible audiobook as well.

Characters:
Noura aka ‘Duchess’ – our 18-year old virgin heroine bride; an international model

Chester – Noura’s # 1 bodyguard and friendliest comrade-in-arms

Vincent – Noura’s quiet 2nd bodyguard

Jovie – an emancipated 14-year old female model that Noura takes in as a roommate

Diana Castelo – Banks’ mother; a former model now in her fifties and a warm mother-in-law

Pasco Castelo – Banks’ father; a very rich but relatively down-to-earth man born into a billion dollar empire

Asha – Noura’s assigned but ultimately vengeful personal assistant

Fatima Banks’ devious and vicious ex-fiancée

Ratings
Overall ★★★★★ It was the perfect listen and helped me get through a 5-hour session of laundry at the laundromat last Saturday.

Performances ★★★★★ each Jason Clarke and Summer Morton delivered flawless and fantastic vocal performances. I absolutely love this narrating duo!

It’s always a pleasure to hear them team up because both make great vocal acting choices and can do decent opposite gender voices – no easy feat! I am so picky about the latter skill. There are a couple of narrators that I loved early on in my audiobook listening / reading that eventually I got burned out on because I have a hard time listening to them do ear-grating opposite gender voice acting. So, it’s always a relief to discover male and female narrators who do both genders realistically well. I will always be eager to listen to either of these narrators on future audiobooks.

Story ★★★★★
I loved the unusually anachronistic concept of this novel. This wasn’t just an erotic novel with a few moments outside the bedroom thrown in for seasoning. Their fall into lust and then their gradual fall into love was fascinating to me, and I very much enjoyed the secondary characters and how they interacted with our heroine and hero.

I also enjoyed our hero’s stubbornness to win his lover’s trust and heart after things went south for them. My personal impression is that kind of determination is not common in a lot of Real Life relationships. It’s so much easier for couples to write each other off if there’s too much work involved to win the other back.

Final thoughts:
This love story totally ranks among my favorites / reread worthy audiobooks. Bravo, R.K. Lilley, Jason Clarke and Summer Morton!

Fabulous narration & fantastic love story combined
