Purchase Details: www.devneyperry.com/books/
Her mother, a woman she once admired and adored, is gone, leaving behind a trail of secrets and lies. She’s living in a tiny apartment above a garage owned by her brother, a man who loathes her very existence. And the father she met beside her mother’s grave is as much of a stranger as Isaiah Reynolds, the broken man with soulless eyes standing beside her in front of the judge.
Isaiah is her protector from the murderer at large in Clifton Forge. Though he’s more like a riven knight in dented armor than a prince on a white stallion. She knows next to nothing about him, other than he works as a mechanic. As of tonight, he’ll be sharing her bathroom.
And, according to the judge, Isaiah is now her husband.

What I thought about Riven Knight
Riven Knight picks up right where the first book in this series, Gypsy King, left off. Draven is about to go to trial for Amina's murder. After the kidnapping in Gypsy King, Amina's and Draven's daughter turns up married to Isaiah, the ex-con mechanic living above the garage.
Thinking spousal privilege is the answer to their problems, Genevieve and Isaiah know their marriage is a sham, but they need to make it look real for everyone else. They live a fine line of being a married couple in public and living like strangers in private. But living together takes its toll on their relationship and Genevieve finds herself having some feelings for Isaiah (and vice versa). If only he would open up and let her in.
This is a slow burn kind of romance, with Isaiah's secrets being the biggest hurdle they have to cross before they can move forward. Their journey to their HEA is complicated by the fact that Amina's murderer and Genevieve's kidnapper are still on the loose.
I loved Genevieve and Isaiah together. She's no pushover and doesn't let Isaiah off the hook when it comes to opening up to her. Both are strong and determined, and this is both their strength and their downfall when it comes to each other. I loved how they fell in love even though the marriage was temporary and their unique circumstances made this story feel fresh.
The killer is revealed near the end of the story and I liked that there was some closure on this story, but it all comes with a price. The world that Devney Perry has created in this series is engaging and different than other MC romances I've read and I like that very much about this series.
Looking forward to more after the epilogue too!

This sounds like my favorite trope - the fake relationship, although they are actually married. But slow burn is the way to go! Wonderful review!
