I could not put this book down, I meant to read it in pieces because I have a pretty busy day but instead I just moved things around and was able to finish it on my lunch break and I don’t do that often. I also don’t usually like when the hero is this obsessed with the girl, but Bash’s funny and non-serious personality made it balance out to where I didn’t just feel the darkness radiating from him like usual dark heroes.
Bash and Stasia have amazing chemistry but are also both really good at bickering and poking fun at each other that makes this book fun and enjoyable even when it’s not usually my taste. This book did such a great job at balancing darkness and light, and adding humor into scenarios where a lot of dark stuff is happening so it’s not weighing down the reader, but the funny moments don’t take away the weight of the scene.
I loved how much Stasia did not listen to Bash and kept him on his toes with her, it added a fun level of obsession as he tried to figure out everything about her. Overall I just really like this book from start to finish!

Not my cup of tea. Still I appreciate how much care there was developing the back story for these characters. How we get to know they why of their present behaviour. While spicy, it does not take over the story. If you are into alpha mafia heroes, mafia princess with a damsel in distress aura, this book is for you. It has enough intrigue and plot, and twists to pass the time.
- thoughts on a devious arrangement -
bash, one of the younger everette brothers. he has such younger sibling vibes. i absolutely love how anastasia got his attention. it makes so much sense that this would be how he found his person - not a new person in his life but someone who’s been around but starts acting different and he just has to know why and what she’s up too.
stasia, she is the most stubbornly independent woman determined to do what she needs to do for her family. she is fearless and brave and a little impulsive at times.
these two are just so cute and great together and watching anastasia with bash’s family and the way his brothers and sisters instantly take her in is so good. i was constantly giggling (“i licked you, so you’re mine” 👅) and on the edge of my seat at times just waiting for what came next. the tension these two have is *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼 this whole series is a must read if you haven’t read them yet!
what you can expect:
🩰 touch her and die
👺 fake dating
🩰 secret society
👺 boy obsessed
🩰 morally grey mmc
I love the Everette family, and Bash and Anastasia’s story was so great! Bash always comes across as the playful playboy, but Stasia caught his attention and put all that to rest. Funny and spicy and a little bit dangerous. Bash carries on with the morally grey MMC theme, and it was delicious. Loved it!!!
Thank you J Wilder for the ARC🤍
Playboy turned obsessed man over one princess ballerina. I have throughly enjoyed this series and cannot wait to see how it’s wrapped up!

Bash is silly, and I love that Matthias immediately was like “my little sister” the brothers love is so easily given! While this book has underlying issues that get solved, this story mostly focuses on Bash and his obsession with Stasia! He’s like the ultimate golden retriever but still possessive and ready to protect Stasia at all costs. And Stasia is so headstrong and willing to do whatever to protect her brother for what she feels like she owes him. This book is full of Bash being overprotective but also trying to let Stasia have her time to shine, the brothers immediately loving her and welcoming her to the family which we love! And Stasia learning that she does deserve to have someone care and love her exactly how she is! I adore this series and I can’t wait for Xanders book🖤

J. Wilder delivers a thrilling, seductive, and utterly captivating billionaire romance in A Devious Arrangement, the third standalone book in the Twisted Series. With an irresistible mix of secrets, danger, and undeniable chemistry, this story pulls readers into a world where deception meets desire—and no one plays fair.
Bash Everette is known for his reckless, carefree nature, living the life of an untouchable billionaire. But beneath the surface, he’s drowning in monotony, searching for something—or someone—to shatter the dull routine. That moment comes when he catches Anastasia Volkov sneaking into the Order of Saints, disguised as her brother, attempting to steal something valuable.
The perfect princess he assumed she was? Gone. In her place is a daring, brilliant woman who awakens something deep within him. Anastasia is nothing like the pristine society girl the world sees—she’s a storm he never saw coming, a risk he never knew he craved. And now that he’s set his sights on her, there’s no escaping his grip.
But Bash doesn’t believe in fair play, and Anastasia has already made her deal with the devil. He’s determined to claim her as his wife, and she’s about to learn that once an Everette sets his sights on something, he never lets go.
A Devious Arrangement is a steamy, high-stakes romance packed with hidden identities, sharp banter, and a hero who is as dangerously charming as he is relentless. Anastasia is fierce, independent, and refuses to back down, making her the perfect match for Bash’s calculated intensity. Their battle of wills—and hearts—keeps the pages turning, blending tension, passion, and a love story that refuses to be ordinary.
J. Wilder crafts an addictive, red-flag billionaire romance that is both exhilarating and wildly entertaining. If you love secret identities, relentless heroes, and a heroine who refuses to be tamed, A Devious Arrangement is a must-read!

Bash was such an amazing edition to this series!
This man falls hard and fast and Anastasia is along for the ride. She needs his help to save her brother (and herself), but not before Bash catches her in the act of being a little thief.
Stasi holds her own with Bash, but this man is not what she’s expecting - from strip poker to stalking to emptying her house as a way of telling her it’s time to move-in together 🤣.
I loved these two, and also liked that it wasn’t as dark as the first two books but still gives you everything you want and more. Also… the spice 🥵 🥵 🥵
