Editorial Reviews

Review

"Deliciously sinful! The Devil's Deal is twisty and sexy and leaves you on a gasp worthy ending." Laurelin Paige, NYT bestselling author



"A story with layers to peel back with eyes wide open. You won't dare blink as Aleatha Romig brings us into a new world of twists and devil known as Everett Ramses and the queen he leaves no choice but to strike a deal. Get ready to be Aleatha'd once again." Kathy Coopmans USA Today bestselling author




"Calling all billionaire romance lovers! Are you ready to be owned by Everett Ramses? This captivating alpha male knows what he wants and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. The Devil's Deal brings hotness and mystery to life in the haunting, rich, romantic cityscape of New Orleans." ~ Pam Godwin, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author

" You will fully feel the Devil's Deal thatdrips in vivid detail, pulses with page-turning twists, and smolders with steamand suspense. Intriguing. Emotional. Electrifying. Everything! The deliciouslydark and decadent Devil's Deal seduced and owned every ounce of me, renderingme breathless and begging for more. I could do nothing except surrenderwholeheartedly to this story's power. A MUST-READ AND TOP 2021 ROMANCE!" SIX dark and devilishly good kisses ~
Bookalicious Babes Blog



"It's provocative and alluring tale of immoral desires and thirsty ambitions. Aleatha's skill in weaving tumultuous, entangled stories of love are legendary, when she embellishes them with hints of danger and thrill, the combination makes the story shine every time. Her alphas are absolute authority." ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BookBistroBlog Review




"I have been eagerly anticipating this book since I read the prequel in One More Step anthology. Aleatha did not disappoint! I love dark romance and I love a good book that will keep you guessing with all the twists. This book did not disappoint! Deliciously diabolical. I loved the heroine, Emma. And I really love Everett and his twist on the submission and power dynamic we don't usually see (or maybe it's just me) in dark romance. This book was amazing." ~ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MamaBee Goodread's Review


"I love love love this story. The details had me feeling like I was living in their world while reading. I felt every emotion possible as the twists and turns were revealed. Truly remarkable read!! I devoured this story. Rett is completely swoonworthy and Emma is a strong heroine. A perfect match for each other for sure." ~Lindsey King ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodreads Review




"All the things Aleatha are in this book and I devoured it in one sitting! Passion, mystery, twists and turns throughout. I just love how Aleatha writes her male leads and Rett has become one of my favorites (Tony still reigns as my #1). Oh, and the backdrop of New Orleans - ghosts, spirits, legends, and myths all play into this story and it will have you on the edge of your seat from the first word." ~ Teressa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Goodreads Review




"Rett and Emma almost superseded Nox and Charlie as my favourites but the story is so different that I don't need to choose although to be fair Rhett is more like Tony than Nox. This is a story full of mystery and evokes the sensuality and spirit of New Orleans perfectly including all the spirits that seem to abound there and are brought forth by Miss Guidry who is a delightful character." Elizabeth ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Goodreads Review

5 out of 5 stars
I need more!!
I can easily say that it was love at first sentence. I was instantly hooked with this story from the very beginning, extremely curious about what is going to happen. After reading “Fate’s Demand” (the short-story prequel) I knew I wanted to find out more. From the very beginning, I was so intrigued by the characters, the idea of the story and the action in it. I liked the mysterious vibes of the story, with every chapter making me want more. I finished the book in a few hours, not wanting to put it down. What can I say? I was Aleatha’d! I have so many mixed feelings towards Rett, I still don’t know what to make of him. I mean, one minute I would gladly give him my soul and everything he wants, and the next minute I want to punch him, in the face, with a chair. I still have so many questions, about the characters and about all their secrets and mysterious past, I can only hope that I will get all my answers in the next book. My God, what is with that ending? I am supposed to sit and wait patiently for the second book in this duet? I am counting the days until the release of the next book. Get ready to fall in love with these characters, and most importantly get ready to love and hate, to swoon and swear, because this book will get everything out of you. And the dark and mysterious male character, Rett Ramses will definitely bring out all the emotions. So be advised and make sure you have something strong to drink after finishing this book. You’re going to need it.

So many things happening with lies and deceit you must pay attention or reread what you missed by accident.
    I enjoy stories like this with all.the suspense and drama, deceit and manipulations to make you believe certain ideas and the main character staying in control.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting story with a bit of a gothic feel to start!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Devil's Deal is the first book in Aleatha Romig's Devil's Duet.

    This is a very interesting story. It takes place in New Orleans, a land where history is long, ghosts haunt, vodoo is practiced and the inexplicable abounds. So, of course, this opens with a very gothic feel, dark, haunting and mysterious. You may even go so far as to wonder Vampire for a bit. But even when you begin to lose that notion, the puzzle remains as do the ghosts. (Yes, there's a character who speaks to ghosts.)

    This story has it's roots in a past long before the main characters were born, setting in motion the events in the future. But who do we believe? We're fed just enough information (same as the heroine) to keep us guessing and just when we think we know who to trust, something happens that has us doubting again.

    This is a story about power and control and the struggle to maintain it. It's about wrongs committed in the past that effect the present. It's about finding strength to go on when you've lost everyone you love only to discover everything you knew was a lie. It's about submission and fighting the very nature that kept you moving forward in spite of everything. it's about trust and discovery.

    There's so much action and mystery in this story it will keep you turning pages. Looking forward to the second and last book in ths duet (Angel's Promise). So glad it's already out and I don't have to wait.

    3.0 out of 5 stars A slightly dark read with few surprises
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I usually really like this author and while I didn't dislike this book, it didn't knock me over, either. It followed a really familiar style that I've read a thousand times before and because of that I found a lot of the story elements had me rolling my eyes a little and feeling like I'd been there, read that. I will say that after all the usual cliches were out of the way in the first part of the book, I enjoyed the second half a little more. I read the prequel to this book, Fate's Demand, in an anthology I'd purchased and it was one of the top short stories included so I was excited to read this novel. It ended up being a slightly darker read where the rich, handsome, alpha anti-hero gives the female lead the best orgasms she's ever had (of course - because he's so alpha male and good looking and with such a presence that even the mere thought of him makes everyone's panties burst into flames). See what I mean by been there, done that?

    One dark and mysterious night, Emma, our beautiful, independent, smart and fierce heroine (in case there's any misunderstanding, I wrote that description with a lot of eye rolling because she's got a bit of a case of 'not like other girlz, y'all!') is swept away by Rett after he appears at the venue she's at. He makes her sing halleluiah on a table (or something like that) and then whisks her away to his mansion in New Orleans because don't ever forget, he's filthy rich. Oh, and he's the king of the criminal underworld. Nothing happens without his say so and without his knowing and yada, yada, yada because as I said above, this is a familiar story line. Having recently found out her background isn't what she was raised to believe it was, more bombshells are dropped as Emma is told that she's the only child of a former NOs crime boss. Because of this, Rett says Emma was born for him, we're told several times that she'll be his queen and that she now has to marry him. It an absolute groundbreaker, she pretty much goes along with this and only throws in a few token 'no's. Why? Because it's Rett Everett and he's the bee's knees. Did I mention he's wealthy, good looking and baaaaad.

    Anywho, the book follows their brief meeting and relationship as Emma adjusts to the information bombs thrown her way about her familial heritage while being utterly captivated by Rett. Tidbits of information are revealed and the book ends in a cliffhanger that made me a teeny bit angry more than anything, even though the big reveal wasn't overly surprising. I enjoyed the jealous, possessive and dominant nature of Rett and the story showed a lot of promise, but like I said above, there wasn't really anything here that wowed me which I hate to say because I really like this author. The steam factor was cliche because it was built around a somewhat unbelievable 'even though I hardly know him, he's just so intense and good looking and protective that my undies slide off all on their own' while Rett articulates exactly how good hitting the sheets will be with him. You know, because it'll be his mission in life to make her come like a freight train while giving her everything she wants in life. So yeah, the instalust was laid on pretty thick.

    Okay, so now I'm going say my piece on what didn't completely work for me in the book on top of the above bits. This is more for my reference for when the next book comes out so ignore as you will. Firstly, in trying to make Rett sound aloof and domineering, his speech was often overly articulated which made his dialogue a wee bit jilted and over the top. There were quite a few pearlers in the book that had me rolling my eyes. Here's one by Emma (which will probably make some readers one-click - you're welcome :) - '...you should know that just because you make me wet and are capable of providing my body pleasure doesn't mean you'll ever have my heart.' Just in case you hadn't picked up on the fact that Rett is magic in the bedroom, it's articulated for us. Yay! Then there was Rett's pointing out that Emma (while speaking to Emma, I might add) was the daughter of a king and a wh*re. Yeah, he said that. And she didn't punch him in the junk, which I certainly wanted to do when he said that trash. But it gets better. He also said, '...as the daughter of a wh*re, you're perfect to not only handle my desires but to also find pleasure in them'. I'm sorry, but WOT? Ah yes, because her mother was in the sex industry (and we're led to believe later that it wasn't entirely by choice to add insult to injury in this gross statement), Emma would naturally be predisposed to being crazy about sex and being able to take whatever kink he throws at her because that's exactly how arousal and prostitution work. Are you for real??? Seriously. Eff off with that rubbish. I don't care that it's fiction; it's a ridiculous statement. It gets even better when a bit later during one of his inner monologue he ponders if Emma's mother had passed on her affinity for being talented in entertaining men. SHEESH. And let's not forget this gem: 'Emma was a queen with the regal touch of a wh*re'. What the ever-loving firetruck??? To be fair, by this stage I was laughing at some of this stuff.

    Just as I've repeated several elements here, the book did the same, with themes and certain phrases brought out several times. For instance, there was a lot of lips curling. The characters were either smiling or had wind maybe? There were little pops of history included here and there that I actually found interesting but oddly placed. As for how Emma got information throughout the book, it was from a spirit talker! I kid you not, one of the servants could apparently speak to spirits so she was able to tell Emma bits of information.

    Then the author did the whole borderline Stockholm Syndrome thing that so many weaker darker reads do where the victim ends up acting and feeling as though they're in the wrong and go out of their way to let the heroes know how much they care for and appreciate them. Emma even thanks Rett for 'waiting' until she was ready. What a sweetheart to not force her, because you know, that's actually sexual assault ffs. Some of this scattered here and there made the book tread awfully close to victim blaming. Then there was Rett making Emma use a blindfold to show that she trusted him and could be submissive. I didn't mind this but after she suffered a traumatic event where she was blindfolded, he left her blindfolded. And after said event, he was angry at her because... wait for it... he told her that if she was going to lose her life it would be by his hands, so when she could have died, he was cranky about not only the fact he might have lost the opportunity to carry out on his promise but that he almost killed her himself by shooting her because she was tied to a chair naked and it made him angry. None of which was of her choosing. Run, Emma lololol. Even though he tells you theirs strength in being submissive (LOL again).

    The book was a fair read but I'm not sure if that's enough to hook me into the next book when my TBR is slowly taking away my will to live as it is. I didn't mind it but a few things made me stabby, some of the turns of phrase were just strange and it almost became a book on gaslighting rather than a darker read with a dominant alpha. Next time I want to insult someone, though, I very well may tell them they have the regal touch of a wh*re'. Flippin' dead.

    As a long-time Aleatha Romig fan, I said sign me up as soon as I heard about this new duet. No one does dark billionaire romances like Romig!

    Then I saw comments from some early readers that Rett was now their favorite Romig hero. 😮 What?!? How is that possible??? Better than Tony??? What about Nox??? Hmmm, I was definitely intrigued, and those comments set my expectations very high.

    Devil’s Deal is a compelling mix of danger and secrets as Rett battles to fend off a challenge to his control over New Orleans. Sexy, domineering Rett demands Emma’s loyalty and obedience in exchange for his protection of her during this war. Love isn't part of this deal. Or, is it?

    I was hooked from the first pages. I can see why Rett has captivated readers already. His push and pull with Emma is steamy, addictive, and intense. I'll wait until I read Angel’s Promise to determine where Rett fits in with other Romig heroes, but he's already making a solid play to be a top contender.

    I can't wait to see how this ends. I have a feeling we are in for a wild ride!

    An absolutely absorbing novel, right from the start. Set in New Orleans , a young pretty girl is out with her business partner at a bar. She is not aware of the forces not only out to capture her, but a dark and secret passed. Her family were killed a few years ago, her adoptive parents and her brother Kyle, but all is not so simple. Everett Ramses is the king of New Orleans looking for his queen. Has he found her? Is what he seems true. Is the truth being relayed, or a version of it. Emma is a strong willed lady with a heritage she is not aware of until Rett. Trust, lies, deceit and determination abound, plus an intense attraction and some very tender moments. A battle of supremacy, submission and subterfuge flow, making a compelling story, between evil and good, only which is which. More questions than answers, some delightful side characters, but some very dark deep alcoves where secrets abound. As every yes Aleatha knows how to get a plot deep in your head and mind. The story is well edited, flows well, and leaves you on the edge of your chair waiting with anticipation for the next book in this duet.

    I don't know what to say to that ending. What the hell just happened. Who is telling the truth and what is the truth. I hope the last book gives all the answers and ties up all the loose ends. What a great story so far.

    I’ve ended this book with more questions than I began with. Everything I thought was happening just completely went out the window and now I have no idea what or who to believe. That’s a sign of great writing though, right? I enjoy questioning myself and trying to figure things out as I think it adds to the reading experience. Maybe I just enjoy driving myself mad, but who knows. That cliff-hanger though!?

    I didn't really like Rett and I still don’t really, though naturally I still have a soft spot for him as per usual with these god-awful arrogant MCs. I still can’t decide whether I like Emma or not - I found myself so frustrated half the time because I felt she needed to ask more questions or push back at Rett - like how could she just go along with this strange man who demands she marry him, he could be anyone for all she knows. Although, if we were being told we were going to be killed and then get kidnapped, what wouldn’t we do to protect ourselves? That being said though, Emma could still put up a bit more of a fight and not make it so easy for Rett to do what he pleases. It really makes you question Rett’s intentions, and when you think you’ve figured it out or you think you can trust him you’re thrown a curveball. It adds to the complexity of the characters and the story though; I love that in a book.

    If you enjoy complex characters, drama, complicated storylines and major cliff-hangers, go and read this right now.
    Anyway, I’m off to read the second book…I suggest you read Devil’s deal and then do the same.

    What a read!
    This was an intense story, full of twists and turns. I don't know if I like Rett or not but he certainly can stoke a Girl's fire.
