This book was a slow start for me but I am so glad I stuck with it because I ended up really really enjoying this one! These characters did not start strong, but once they had some time to marinate you found yourself relating and rooting for the both of them. Keeley and Graham balanced each other out so well. Once they really gave each other a chance they truly saw the other and were exactly what they needed. I found myself tearing up numerous times in the second half of this book. This one turned out to be more emotional than you’d expect from the way the story began. This book is perfect for fans of accidental pregnancy and Vegas wedding tropes. Definitely give this one a chance!

Absolutely adorable! I just really love stories about pregnancies okay 🤫 Keeley seemed a bit *too* out there (and ridiculous) at times but a lot's acceptable for me in romance. I have a bit of a trauma of reading about finance guys but if my finance guy was like Graham, I'd be alright with it.

(But also — I'm not the only one who thinks O'Roark should probably go to therapy for her divorce issues? Like this is the 3rd book in a row I've had to read about custody issues)

THIS BOOK!!! I started it last night and couldn't put it down. I'm used to The Devils series being angsty and intense in all the different ways, but I wasn't prepared for the emotions this one brought. It brought all of them.

The Devil Gets His Due started out really fun. I was laughing and enjoying myself. I loved the banter between Keeley and Graham. They had such great chemistry even when they swore they didn't like each other. Then the big, important stuff happened. Things got emotional very fast, and I found myself tearing up. I went on this big emotional roller coaster with both Keeley and Graham. You would think I would want to jump off, but no. I wanted to stay along for the ride. Everything they felt and went through sucked me into the story more. I had to force myself to put the book down to go to bed and then wanted to pick it up first thing in the morning. I had to know how things were going to work out for these two. They deserved all the happiness in the world.

I don't really know what else to say about this romance. The first book in the series was my favorite until I finished this one. I desperately wish I had another book in this series waiting to be read right now because I'm not ready to move on. I might end up with an emotional book hangover after this one. Anyways. Read this one. Jump in here or start at the beginning of the series. Either way works.
