[Nadz@Totally Addicted to Reading]

Deal With the Devil, which tells the story of Jericho Forge and India Baptiste is the latest offering from Meghan March. It is the first book in the Forge Trilogy and for those who fear the dreaded cliff-hanger you may want to wait until all the books are released, but for readers who have no qualms about it, this book is not to be missed.

The story begins with Jericho showing up for a high stakes poker game he was not invited to. Here he comes face to face with India.
This game is important to her, so Jericho's appearance was a major cinch in her plans, but then he might just be the one person who can assist her.

Jericho is like no other man she has encountered. She knew from the moment she laid eyes on him this would be nothing like her usual poker game. Both are determined to win, bit there can be only one winner. Who will it be?

Jericho is ruthless and unapologetic. He doesn't give a damn as to what anyone thinks of him. If he wants something he will do his damnedest to get it and woe be on to the man or woman who tries to get in his way. Vengeance drives his actions, which makes him a deadly foe, but with India he never knew what hit him. She is like no other woman he has encountered. She challenges him and elicits feelings he never thought possible.


India is no walkover. I enjoyed getting to know her. Resilient, smart, feisty, confident, proud, bold, impulsive and beautiful describes her perfectly. Her life growing up made her the person she is today, but now she is caught between a rock and a hard place. She has no choice but to trust the one man who has the power to turn her world upside down.

The intense chemistry between Jericho and India had the power to make made my phone overheat. Yes the attraction between sizzled to the point of melting. It was fun watching them fight these intense feelings. When they finally gave into their feelings it was explosive.

Hooked from the first page. I had a hard time putting this book down. The drama, suspense, mystery, humor, chemistry and banter had me turning the pages. I needed to know how the story would unfold.

The end left me in a state of anticipation. Now i am on pins and needles waiting for the release of the second book Luck of the Devil.

Conclusion/Recommendation
If you love your heroes strong and protective and your heroines bold and sassy then you will love Jericho and India. Highly recommended.
