This is the first of the Filthy Feckers series but runs on from the Five Points Collection (The Air He Breathes) with the pact the Irish and Russians made.
That was to marry two of their children together both of who do not want this and have never met.
I don't love a lot of arrange marriage books but this was too well written and such a great story that it just added to the characters.
Eoghan (pronounced Owen) is older than his bride and has seen so much in his life and definitely doesn't think he can love anyone other than his family.
He definitely didn't want to be married but especially not to 18 year old Russian princess Inessa (pronounced Ih-nessa) but he would do anything for his family.
Inessa on the other hand is not your typical 18 year old although she is innocent and naive in alot of ways she has also a bleak and mature outlook as well.
With both growing up in organised crime families you may say that the age difference doesn't necessarily mean two different worlds. While that may be the case the way they were raised and the way the families are with each other is completely different. Eoghan would do anything for his family but Inessa would do whatever she could do get away from hers.
The relationship that blooms between them was amazing to watch unfold as I read this.
There's ups and downs with all marriages this shows this as well as the two get to know each other.
Was lovely seeing all the tie ins with other books and series with these books as well. I just love the whole world that Serena has built and the characters and how she links them together.
I can't wait for more!
Definitely a highly recommended read from me in this one.
