Not quite as dark as the previous books, its more a medium shade of grey for Sebastian, the carefree joker of the Everette family but when it came to matters of the heart there was no doubting Bash was going be just as obsessed and stalkerish as his older brothers had been before him when he lost his heart to Anastasia Volkov. If secret societies can have a ‘meet cute’ then this pair certainly did when she disguised herself as her brother in an attempt to steal a valuable tiara from the Order of Saints only to be caught by Bash but not before she cleaned him out at poker. Bash’s life could be measured in two halves, pre-Stasia he’d been bored, his life black and white, then post-Stasia it had exploded with colour and not just because of her red hair, she made him feel alive in a way he hadn’t for a long time. The chemistry and flirting between these two characters was seriously steamy and how, on the part of Stasia at least would swing from wanting to kill him or jump him just added to the fun. Bash knew he’d found in Stasia what his brothers had found with his ‘sisters’ even though she was keeping secrets about what was really going on from him, but this made for some deliciously wicked banter between them.
A Devious Arrangement was a fabulous addition to the Twisted Vows series. The overall story was well written and engaging although I would’ve liked more background to what exactly her grandmother was up to but perhaps that will be revealed if there’s a book about her brother in the future. I did love that Bash didn’t go all caveman on Stasia and insist on handling things for her. He could see how important it was to her to deal with matters herself and was happy let her take the lead, then support her when reality hit her hard. I loved his interactions not only with his nieces and nephews who he openly adored, but with his brothers as well. The dynamics between them were filled with the kind of love only brothers can share as they go from being teasing and supportive to wanting to kill each other as easily as flipping a switch.

“I licked you, so you’re mine.”
A Devious Arrangement was a fast-paced and fun read! With almost no angst and no third-act breakup, it was almost sweet, though still with spice and some hard edges. You can't overlook that this is still a secret society with men of questionable morals. All for a good cause when it comes to protecting what they see as theirs.
I adored Bash. He brought out the cute aggression in full force. Made me want to squeeze him to bits! Bash was just as obsessive about Anastasia as his older brothers were about their women, but his methods to woo her weren't as red-flaggy. Sure, he withheld some crucial information and forced her into a fake dating situation to keep her close, but he didn't kidnap her or actually "force" her into anything. She was just as willing to keep up the charade of a happy couple to get what she wanted.
Anastasia... she was borderline too stupid to live. Thank goodness she caught Bash's attention and had him there to back her up because she was WAY out of her league trying to steal from The Saints. She's a damn ballerina, and while she did grow up in the society, she was a princess who had to sit still and look pretty. Not wield guns and go sneaking around.
This is a medium-burn and spicy MF romance. The third book in the Twisted Vows series, it can be read as a complete standalone, though I would recommend reading the series in release order for the best experience.
If you're looking for a lighter "dark" romance with bloodshed and death, but the MMC is all-in for his women, this book is perfect for you!

"I’m going to figure her out one way or another, and when I do, I’ll make her mine."
This was such an entertaining and quick read! Bash & Stasia had incredible chemistry and I loved how obsessed and possessive he was for her! It took one encounter for him to be sure that she's the one for him and I liked how he chased her and protected her over every turn. Stasia was impulsive but not stupid and I could sympathize with her. Bash's family was amazing and it was nice to see all of them again! Overall, this was quite an engaging read but I felt like everything happened way too fast towards the end and Stasia made a few questionable choices which was kind of annoying. But the epilogue was really well written and the whole book was unputdownable, so I'll give it 3.75 stars!

This was a good time. I loved the second book in this series so I went into it with relatively high expectations and while it didn’t live up to all of them I still had fun reading this. This series reminds me a lot of the Pucking wrong series by CR Jane in the sense that it’s dark and twisted but also hilarious and follows men that are just so down bad for their women. This book was no different and I loved how obsessed Bash was with Stasia. I will say I with the romance moved a little bit slower because by the 70% mark I had gotten bored and pretty much felt like I’d gotten all I could out of them as a couple. But still a quick fun read and I’m excited for the next one.

“There isn’t a second I’m with her that doesn’t have my heart racing. She has me addicted to the high only she can provide.”
Hooked from from the second Anastasia and Bash crossed paths. I could not put this down, it had me wishing I could be Anastasia. The way Bash worshipped her every chapter had me swooning. It had the thrill, he falls first and hard, protect her at all costs, family is everything, and more!
By the time I remembered their deal, I didn’t care anymore as long as Bash and Stasia were together 😂 Thank you so much J. Wilder and Grey’s Promotion for this opportunity!

I was excited when I learned Bash was the next brother up. When Stasia needs to help her family she is willing to do anything to help her brother including sneaking into the secret society. When I say the chemistry is off the chart it's FIRE. This book was amazing and I can't wait for the next book in this series.
Bash and Stasia were the perfect pair. While Stasia didn’t take Bash’s crap she also gave it back to him. I enjoyed that there was no 3rd act break up. Bash knew the moment he caught Stasia being sneaky he was going to marry her. It was just like his brothers. I enjoyed how the rest of the family was in this book. Cannot wait for the next one.

Bash, oh my my my, down bad was putting it mildly. Bash is now my favorite brother. Hes hilarious, obsessed, possessive and overprotective of Stasia. I just love them together.
Stasia is someone that I could see myself becoming besties with. She's fierce, headstrong and willing to do anything and everything to protect her brother.
These two together were fire!!

I knew Bash’s story was going to be fun, and it did not disappoint! I’m absolutely loving this series and Bash and Anastasia only added to that love.
Anastasia was such a strong woman, and even if she had some guilt from her past, she didn’t let that bring her down. She was so feisty and I loved it because that was exactly what Bash needed in his life! It was great to see Anastasia work so hard to protect her brother and do what she could to make sure that he was safe because he had done that for her her whole life. It was also great to watch Anastasia continually bring Bash down a peg when he needed it because no one had ever had the power to do that to him before she came into his life. Their banter was hilarious and I loved that Anastasia was able to laugh with Bash, even when she didn’t want to admit that he was breaking down her defenses little by little.
Sebastian Everette was the perfect combination of golden retriever and man obsessed. Bash was always looking for the next fun thing, so when he comes across Anastasia doing something she shouldn’t be, he’s intrigued. I love that it only took him a few times talking to Anastasia to become fully obsessed with her! He’s definitely an Everette, and if you’ve read the other Twisted Vows books, you’ll know exactly what I mean because those men take insta-obsession to a whole new level (and I’m here for it). I love that Bash was determined to get Anastasia to open up to him and let her walls down. He was always willing to make her laugh, too, which was great to see because Anastasia didn’t always have that. Once he decided he wanted her, he proved to Anastasia that he wanted her forever and it was great seeing her find a man who wanted her that deeply, too.
Bash and Anastasia were two people you wouldn’t expect to work well together, but they were beyond perfect for each other. I loved watching them find each other and seeing Bash help Anastasia learn to let someone else take care of her the way she deserved. They were so sweet together, even despite the darker elements of the story. There was a bit of mystery in this one that kept me guessing until the end, and I loved it! This was such a great story, and I can’t wait to see what the Everette family has in store for us in the final installment of the series!
