“I didn’t do anything wrong,” I choked out. “You stuck your nose into my private matters,” he hissed. “No one can sentence me without proof,” I challenged him. He straightened up. Any traces of a smile abruptly disappeared from his face.
“You still don’t get it, do you? I own this city. It means that if I say you go to jail, that means you go to jail.” He leaned over me again, his stare piercing right through me, “And if I say that I want you, that means you are already mine.”
My jaw tensed as I resisted an urge to talk back. This wasn’t a battle I could win, and this wasn’t a man I could win against… How did I get myself into all that mess?! *** My name is Cora Bell, and I’m about to marry Aren Lan, New York’s most wanted bachelor.
A dream come true? I highly doubt that. The guy is an arrogant, wealthy, beyond imagination, asshole. Not to mention that our relationship is based solely on a contract, a contract I was forced to sign when I accidentally ruined this guy’s engagement…

Arranged Marriage Vs Forced Marriage
The concept of contract or arranged marriage has been adapted too in modern literature thus, now, in web novels. Arranged marriage or forced marriage is the main subgenre of Sentenced To Marriage.
Arranged marriages are like a business deal, a contract but reading through the blurb of Sentenced To Marriage, it seems that the wedding here is forced. Good thing this is romance fiction so that aspect brought excitement and thrill to the plot concept.
The concept of contract marriage books resonates with some realities of many cultures where arranged marriages take place, and a family member frequently makes the introduction. Every time, the people have a choice, and the marriage will only proceed with the complete approval of both parties.
Whereas, a marriage is considered forced if the prospective spouse feels under pressure or is required to wed against their will.

Part 2: Sentenced To Marriage Review
Sentenced To Marriage By MadlainQ has nice storytelling. Although the events are in slow pacing compared to other contract marriage books, its writing style contains some kind of magic that engages the readers. The characters herein in Sentenced To Marriage are interesting.
The male lead, Aren Lan, has an imaginative background. He’s too appealing. He’s half-Chinese and half-American. He’s arrogant, playful, and dominant. So much characterization really entices the readers’ imagination and leaves them questioning how Lan falls for Cora knowing his background and personality.
While Cora is the one who’s Sentenced To Marriage here. Like the usual female lead in contract marriage books, Cora was in need of financial security. But what’s good about her is that despite her status she is not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself.
The plot of Sentenced To Marriage adapts a different concept of contract marriage stories. As I mentioned earlier, Sentenced To Marriage falls in between the concept of arranged and forced marriage blended with romantic elements and slow-burn romance.
So far, incorporating all those elements into this story makes Sentenced To Marriage one of the best contract marriage books to read online.
