ARC Review
Corrupting His Wife by Amber Daulton is the third installment in the Lozano Cartel series, and it delivers a gripping blend of romance, danger, and emotional intensity.
Lourdes Villegas was once the princess of the Villegas cartel. Her father had already married her off once to Jacobo Lozano, and after his death, she spent two years living back at home. Now, her father is preparing to marry her off yet again. Enrique, however, has other plans. He fell for Lourdes the very first time he saw her. He lost her once, but this time he is determined to save her and show her what real love looks like.
A week before her wedding, Enrique kidnaps Lourdes to keep her from a future she never chose. Instead of gratitude, she meets him with resistance. Slowly, he convinces her to give him a chance, but freedom comes at a cost. With both cartels searching for them, the question remains: can they negotiate peace and still hold on to their forbidden romance?
Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. The story leans heavily into the romance between the two main characters, focusing on their emotional connection and the obstacles they face together. There are a few potentially triggering scenes, as themes of abuse are present.
I loved how naturally Lourdes and Enrique connected, and how respectfully she was treated by the Lozano family. My favorite moment was watching Lourdes finally confront her fears, a powerful and emotional turning point in the story.
If you enjoy dark cartel romance filled with passion, danger, and redemption, this book might be the one for you.
