My summary: Jericho Forge is a billionaire and no doors are ever closed to him, especially not the ones to a private poker game at Jean Philippe’s casino. When he finds out there is a game he wasn’t invited to, he shows up to find out who was trying to hide it from him. Forge bursts into the game, to the dismay of India Baptiste. India swore she’d never gamble in desperation again, but she has ten days to come up with $10 million or else. She handpicked the line-up for the game, which definitely did not include Forge. When things go wrong, India ends up making the biggest gamble of her life with Forge—herself. What starts as a way for Forge to finally get revenge against his nemesis Bastian DeVere ends up becoming more with India.

My thoughts: If you like billionaire, anti-hero, forced marriage romances, then get to reading (or listening) to this one. It nails all of these tropes. I did not love the female narrator of this audiobook, but I did enjoy the male narrator. It does end on a cliffhanger, which I expect with Meghan March’s trilogies, so I already have the next two lined up.

I'm not even surprised anymore when Meghan March wows me. It's what she does. She did it again with this book!! Meghan kicked off this trilogy in a big way. Deal with the Devil is everything! Captivating and sexy, it’s exactly what I love about her books.

I am obsessed with energy between Jericho Forge and India Baptiste. She is so strong willed and loyal and he's such dominant figure that their back and forth created an absolute delicious tension. At any given moment they could have either killed each other or banged each other's brains out. Gahh! I live for their interactions.

This author writes the best anti-heroes. My goodness! Jericho Forge is a force to be reckoned with. He is all of Meghan's wrapped in one. He's a ruthless as Lachlan Mount, as confident as Creighton Karas and commands attention like Lucas F'n Titan. I AM ALL FOR IT! Y'all, it is sexy as hell.

Deal of the Devil is only the first book of the trilogy. So, of course, the master of cliffhangers left me wailing “OMG! No! I want more!” True story. The night when I finished reading this book, my last thought after I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep was about Jericho Forge and his reaction in the next book. Oh man. It's going to be intense. I just know it. Yeah, it think it’s safe to say I am soooo ready for the Luck of the Devil. I can't wait to have it in my hands.

Meghan March's books are easy, quick romance novellas, with a bunch of spice. I personally love a grumpy billionaire, Jason Momoa-looking sea man, who is scheming to get the girl. India is an interesting main character, a professional poker player, ready to gamble it all to save her sister's life. And guess who is there, ready to strike a deal?!

I love the buildup, the spice is hot, and the novel goes by very quick.
Is this groundbreaking? No. But I always have a great time reading Meghan March's books!
