Thank you to Dreamscapes and Netgalley for an audio copy.

I absolutely enjoyed reading this book. I could have sworn I was there with the characters.
The narrators did a banging job as well.
Kudos to the team. Love the romance too.

This was an audiobook. While I very much enjoyed the story, I didnt vibe with the narrators. The times I felt they took away from the story was when they were speaking as the other MC. Despite that the speaking voices of the individual MMC and FMC was good. And the story was written well also. I love an MmC that make sure his girl is good even from the day they met. This arranged marriage concept was a trope I didn't know I needed. I'm here for it so much so I have 5 other books I also need to read.

Such a strong, beautiful couple! I’m loving these epilogues! I’ve been meaning to talk about this one but how do I explain why a 5 ⭐️ is a 5 ⭐️ without screaming? This entire series is Black love and written by Black authors and Allure is no different. Our fmc is both Black and Thai and her name is Lore. She’s a free spirit and I was obsessed with her from the beginning. Her man is named Niko and OMG is he everything she needed. He’s a football player yeah yeah yeah but this isn’t a sports romance okay. It’s hella romantic though. It got me swooning.

I have truly enjoyed The Arranged Hearts series. I found myself smiling constantly throughout all the books. All 6 books in the series are written by different authors and can all be read as standalone books. I love that this series focuses on the arranged marriage trope, but the individuals control the narrative. They willingly sign up with Arranged Hearts to take a chance on finding true love.

This was my first book by this author, and I absolutely loved it! This book was creative and felt like I was watching a romance movie on TV. Fate brings Lore and Niko back together again, and their connection is one of pure and authentic love. The two main characters had great depth. I felt like I knew them and I was rooting for them. The spice was hot, but their connection was even more hot. I thought the narrators fit the story perfectly. They had me completely engrossed in what was happening. Such a beautiful love story!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the ALC in exchange for my honest review.

This one was one of my favorites so far!

I appreciated that this was more slice of life, and things weren't super tense. Fluffy I guess is the word I'm looking for, and it was just nice that things went well for these folks and I'm happy for them.

100% what I signed up for, and happy that I got to read this one.

The narrators did a wonderful job brining the characters to life.

Thank you to Dreamscapes and Netgalley for an audio copy.

At this point Arranged Hearts got me wanting to sign up immediately! This story was too cute and there was a slight twist to this book in the series! Niko, a retired NFL athlete, Lore, a successful arstist going by the pseudo name Allure, aren’t quite strangers. Unbeknownst them they both have reached a place in their life where they are looking for love and a partner.

Lore and Niko met several years ago early in Niko’s football career. A one night stand that left them both in the years to coming thinking of each other, so imagine their surprise when they see each other on the aisle? The way that they love each is what everyone wants, but this love is not without some difficulty of course!

Iesha Bree delivered the sweetest uncomplicated instalove arranged marriage that has ever existed. However I need angst, a little more drama and a lot more pages to get me across the finish line. All that to say, not everything has to be difficult. and I get that. While this wasn't my arranged marriage fantasy, I think it is the happily ever after that everyone deserves.

This book had all of the mile markers of a great storyline I just think it was rushed into novella length making it hard to get invested. I however have a lot more books to read of hers that are full length, I’m sure I will love based on what I read in Allure.

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5 stars! Thank you to NetGalley for the ALC! Niko and Lore both went to The Arranged Hearts matchmaking service in order to find love and their happily ever after.

Niko is a retired football player and is ready to settle down with one woman and Lore is an artist and she’s ready for the same. They were matched by the service and didn’t know anything about each other and don’t see each other until the day of their wedding. They had an instant connection when they see each other for the first time, and only they know why. ☺️

There is a little bit of family drama in Niko’s storyline that they have to work through together, and we see him navigate through it while Lore supports him every step of the way. Overall, this was a solid read that I enjoyed , the narrator was great and I recommend.

I connected with the FMC & MMC from the beginning. They had incredible chemistry, although they had briefly met each other previously. This book series is based on an interesting arranged marriage concept that definitely worked for these two. Since they were familiar with each other, it took a bit of the spark away that would normally be present in this type of unique situation. However, it was a great read & I encourage steamy romance readers to put this one on their TBR! The narrators were great.

This was such a great book. I wasnt feeling the male narrator but i really enjoyed the romance and steam. Lure was such a charming FMC that had her man wrapped around her finger.

Allure was my introduction to Iesha Bree. This was the second book that I have read in this series, and I enjoyed the story development more than I did the first. Lore and Niko I saw at individuals that wanted more out of life although one would think that they had it all; however the one thing that they did not have was true love; someone to spend the rest of their lives with. The characters having known one another was a twist that I did not expect; those that meet through the exclusive arranged hearts meet for the first time at the alter. It was a pleasure to see Niko not cave to the pressures of his family, most notably his father, by following his heart. Lore was the epitome of loving and supportive wife.

4 ⭐

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. It’s a sweet romance between two people that are supposed to meet at the alter. Only, they realized they’ve met each other before and had a one-night stand. I loooved how they both thought of a gift for the other person before the wedding and how much it resonated with the other person. These two were really meant for each other.

My only issue is that, for their previous encounter to have been so short, there was too much familiarity. I would love to see their love blossom on page.

Also, Niko was also in the wrong, he owes his family an apology too.

P.S.: This is what MAFS could be but the matchmakers keep playin' 🤣.

Thank you Dreamscape Media for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Lore is an artist and art teacher who is ready to get married and start her family. Niko is an NFL player going into retirement and starting his career as a sports broadcaster. He’s changing his career to make time for the wife and children that he wants. This is my third book in this series, the first where the characters actually met before the marriage. I’m a firm believer that if someone is for you, you will eventually end up with them. This story illustrates that concept beautifully. Other issues dealt with in the book are Niko’s relationship with his family (mainly his brother and father) and Lore dealing with being in the spotlight.

I love Mari as a narrator (I’ve listened to her narrate other books). I also enjoyed Dylan Ford’s narration. I also give the narration 4 stars.

A very very sweet and low angst story with some very good narration!

So far I’ve enjoyed this the most in this shared series. Our characters feel fully developed and with any conflict really existing outside of their relationship but still helps to keep them growing and learning as a couple. It’s a really fun play on second chance romance as well.

I will caution that there is a bit of a press on Christian based religion but I guess it balances out the spice? I don’t know. It stood out to me though and found it worth mentioning.

Overall a cute sweet read for anyone looking for a dreamy book with all the feels.

I am obsessed with this series. Allure by Iesha Bree is no exception to my obsession.

I love being able to discover all these new-to-me romance authors, with all this set in the same universe.

Okay so NFL player this time?!!! AAHHH! I love that hes a legend and respected, plus it means that our girl WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.

These two have CHEMISTRYYYYYY and I love the way they become the married couple they set out to be. Their unique journey is beautiful.

Though I am loving all the book in the Arranged Heart Series, this one is my favorite so far. I loved that Lore and Niko actually had a run in before, so they weren’t exactly strangers when they met after being arranged to marry each other, Also I loved that they didn’t really have any issues with each other. It was Nikos family having the issues respecting his decisions and him as a grown man. Lore had her issues with coming to grips with realizing she was so deserving of people knowing she was the artist behind her art. These two had so much love and it just radiated off the pages (audio ) of this story, They were grown, mature, and so supportive of one another. The way they communicated with one another was also so admirable. I really am loving this series so much. Thank you Netgalley and Dreamscape.

This is a spicy little story about letting the fates align and just going for it. That’s what Nico and Lure did when they went to a match maker and agree to be married to this complete stranger in 2 days of matching. Also they do not get to meet until the day they marry, though once they set eyes on each other they quickly remember a one night stand they had a while back.

I read the other previously published books of the "Arranged Hearts" series and knew Allure was not going to disappoint. The story was not 100% of what I was expecting but it was still realistic and gave hope as a single, black, plus size woman. Most of the arranged hearts series gives hope and will be easy for all readers to understand. My favorite quote of the book is when Lore's mother was giving her encouragement to let her know she was still the prize no matter how much she doubted herself. The quote is, "The way that man looked at you said everything that needed to be said in that moment. He remembered a single moment from years ago. Honey, that's not the vibes or impression of an ordinary woman. You're more than that." Iesha Bree thank you for making a realistic romance novel that will breathe life back into single women.

Lore Reed and Niko Lockwood have both come to a point in their loves that they want to live for themselves. They are both locking for that someone to make their world a little something more. And they want to do it on their own terms. I fell in love with both Lore and Niko. I loved the allure that was between them. I loved that the two of them had a prior connection. It was short lived but it was strong enough for them both to remember. I love that I could fall in love with them both. There was one supportive family and one not so much. There were things in the background that would be shared in due time. Family drama, life drama, and a passion that would make them both be willing to move heaven and earth to make it all work between them.

I would love a real life Arranged Hearts to be about. More love to share and spread would be wonderful.

I loved the narration and the chance to be introduced to a new author (to me). I fell in love with Lore & Niko Lockwood and will be putting their story on my repeat listen list.

This book I felt was a bit too short, since it is a surprise arranged marriage. Even with that, I still enjoyed it. The communication was there, the couple was adorable. They were obsessed with each other and I thought it was cute that they had met before a long time ago and somehow found each other.

Overall, great read. I am obsessed with this series.

I got an alc of this book on NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
