The Recluse Her by Monique Moreau Release and Review

Posted September 2, 2021 by Renee Henson in Reviews / 0 Comments

The Recluse Heir by Monique Moreau is now live!

He wants her, but she can never be his.

I am Luca, the black sheep of the Romanian mafie Lupu clan.

Cat, the woman I want as mine, happens to be my brother’s fiancée. 

What wouldn’t I do to tear their engagement apart with my bare hands?

Luca

As the second son, I scoff at the antiquated rules and traditions of my clan. When my family needs to make an arranged marriage with a rival clan, the next in line to wed the spoiled mafie princess is me.

I’ll be damned if I’m led to the slaughter like some sacrificial lamb.

Let my younger brother, the family lapdog, do the deed. The man is a soulless bastard, anyway.

But the moment I set eyes on the precious princess at my brother’s engagement party, I regret my decision. My knees almost buckle. Holy hell, but she’s beautiful. Sultry and innocent, she’s a lethal combination the likes of which I’ve never seen before.

If only she wasn’t already pledged to my brother.

Cat

My family loves me but I’m merely a pawn in the shifting chess game between the Lupu clan and mine. As the good, obedient daughter to the boss of the Popescu family, I do what I am told. And that is to marry the youngest brother, a ruthless mafie prince with a reputation for cruelty. It’s the least I can do to make up for the grief I’ve caused my family over the years.

At my engagement party, I’m introduced to my fiancé’s older brother, Luca.

A man with cold gray eyes that makes my skin sizzle with desire.

The same man who already rejected me as his fiancée. 

I should hate him for it. Instead, the more time I’m forced to spend in his presence, the less I can remember that he is strictly off-limits. 

Renee’s Five Star Review

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Get ready to fall in love with Luca and Cat. To say they are a match made in mafia heaven is a understatement. Catalina is the mafia princess who holds her family to the highest of respect, but this girl is far more than some arranged marriage’s trophy wife. She is a good girl who has a really good head on her shoulder’s and wants to give back to the world in some way. She is in no way or fashion ready to be forced to marry a man that she has no clue about and she is not ready to fall in line with being Nicu Lupu’s wife. But she has not choice but to agree to it but there is temptation in the form or her arranged husbands older brother. Will she be able to resist him even though she knows that he has already rejected her once. However Luca had never met her. He had no clue what she looked like or who she was and now he is regretting that decision. Will these two ever get the chance they both really want or be forced to be brother and sister in law with all the heat between them? You have to read and find out but I really loved this story and really hated to see it end.

Meet Monique Moreau

Growing up in New York City, I used to walk the hot pavements in the melting heat of the long summers, and dream. Uptown to downtown, eastside to the westside, and underground to catch a subway racing out into the boroughs.

During my wanderings, my magic pencil spun out fantasies full of romance, with first meetings, heartbreaks, and reunions. Sometimes my boy crush (unrequited, of course) starred as the hero.

I grew up, and after a stint in art school, became a lawyer ‘cuz a woman’s got to make a living. I came from parents who fled to France as refugees, and as an attorney, I dedicated my work to helping survivors of trauma and persecution.
I believe in them. In their grit, in their determination to hold on, to pull through and, somehow, someway, to keep themselves intact, body and soul.

Perhaps that is why I am drawn to writing stories of men and women who live through heart-rending pain, desperate yearnings and, ultimately, reach a place of redemption.

For a long time, I fought the urge to veer off the expected, safe path until I couldn’t go on unless I took a chance and made a change. I began to write, stopped, and began again. Finally, I gave in and here I am.

Come join me on my journey…
