Maddie Goldbloom stitched up a plan to ensure everything in her life was perfect—from a career in fashion to a chic NYC apartment to a pediatrician boyfriend.

When her ex, Chase Black, storms back into her life with an outrageous request, her immediate reaction is to refuse him. But he only wants to fulfill his father’s last wish. So even though he’s the man who broke her heart, playing his fiancée shouldn’t be hard, especially if it means she gets to watch the arrogant devil squirm a bit.

What ensues is a chain of events that detonates Maddie’s life—and when Chase’s walls come down, they both are forced to face reality.

They say keep your enemies close. But what if your enemy is also the man you love?

I was thoroughly entertained with The Devil Wears Black. Yes, it could be discounted as cliché with a quirky and relatable main character and a love interest who only wears black and has commitment issues. But I really liked this one. The author delivered on all the fun tropes—enemies to lovers, fake fiancé, etc—and I’m sorry but I could see myself rereading this one. It was a lot of fun.

Maddie and Chase are two completely different people who dated once for six months. After things got serious, Chase made it look like he cheated on her and he broke up with now. Now, he needs her help again in terms of his family.

The characters aren’t really my favorite separately; however, I think they worked well together for me. It was a second chance love story, and I was strapped in for all the banter and insane chemistry that Madison and Chase had.

Final Analysis

The Devil Wears Black was entertaining and fun, when you go in not expecting a lot of development.
