A review by marsreads1
The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy

4.0

Thank you Valentine pr and Monica for sending me this book!!

It’s a given I have been obsessed with Monica Murphy books since I discovered her this year. This series no less! In this book, I came to love and enjoy more of charlotte’s character. She honestly carried this book. I feel like she grew more into her self and it was so nice to read about but she still has a long way to go! Perry was having some serious inner conflict. Going from trying to believe charlotte to not knowing what to believe? He was very much chaotic but I’m excited to see how he will get his act together in the next. The smut?!! Amazing! You get to see more of their internal monologues/inner conflict and pov which was entertaining and just added more depths to their characters

However, from a personal preference I more so like it when a book with a marriage of convenience/arranged marriage trope to have more of a longer timeline. I prefer for these kind of books to span over a longer period of time just because I think we can see more of a relationship development. This book picks up right where the last one ended which was the day of the wedding and it spans over a period of two weeks I believe (don’t quote me on that). This is the only thing I wish was different because with this pace, I don’t think we will see more of them as I married couple even in the last book. Just a personal preference!

That being said, I’m excited for the third and final book ans see how Charlottes and Perry’s relationship conclude!

Tropes:
Arranged marriage/convenience
Forced proximity
Strangers to lovers
Dark Romance
