Wicked Demands by Jordan Marie Release & Review

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

This story is about an arranged marriage between Marco and Helena. Their marriage will form and alliance between two Greek Mafia families. These two do have quite a large age gap between them but Marco is determined to keep Helena safe. Helena all her life has wanted to be loved and she never got that with her amity. To her father she was a pawn to use and dispose of when he wanted. However he has to leave her for her to become old enough to get married and to deal with the threats and this takes longer than he expected leaving Helena questioning whether or not he really cares. When he finally accomplishes his goal and comes to get Helena she is now a much older person and not feeling like she did about him when she was younger. She wants him to prove his feelings for her. While they are having to work through all of this, Marco still has enemies coming out of the woodwork and they know that his weakness is the very woman he is trying to convince of his feelings. I really liked reading this story. I really loved these two characters together. There is an age difference between them but you would never know it. I loved how he wanted to be there for her when he finally got back to her and it broke my heart the way she was treated by her family. This is a book you won’t regret reading.
