Interview with Lucy Monroe, Author of Forced Vows (Syndicate Rules Book 6)

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Forced Vows (Syndicate Rules Book 6)?

When I wrote Urgent Vows (his brother’s story) I knew Miceli would be in a forced/arranged marriage situation, but I wasn’t ready to write his book right away. I absolutely love both reading and writing arranged marriages, especially if there’s some tension involved and enemies to lovers is definitely that. A lot happens in the New York Cosa Nostra in this book, so I had to wait to write it even though readers really wanted me to give them Miceli’s story. I think it will be worth the wait to them though.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

Steamy Romance. I’m firm believer in writing a story I want to read, so I write in the genre I love most, though as a voracious bookworm, I read in a lot of other genres as well.

What books are on your TBR pile right now?

My top three on the towering stack are ‘Down ‘n Dirty Dog’ by Eve Black, ‘Mafia Kings: Dario’ by Olivia Thorn & ‘Depraved’ by Arianna Fraser.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

That is such a hard question because I totally fall in love with my characters and love spending time in their world with them. Maybe the scene where Roise adopts a cat from the shelter with the big, tough mafia underboss.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

No quirky habits, but I love to write outside when I can.

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

People are complicated and nobody’s perfect, but we all deserve love.
