Merciless Vows, the first in the all-new Blood and Thorns Duet from Faith Summers is available now!
When I was sixteen a gypsy fortune teller told me my future held darkness and death.
She was right.
But what she didn’t tell me was the devil himself would rise from hell in the form of Lucca Dyshekov and take everything from me with a gun held to my head.
He’s the Bratva assassin they all call Merciless.
On our wedding day he taught me real monsters aren’t the ones who hide in the dark.
They’re the ones who stare you in the face and steal your soul.
On a quest for revenge, he takes me and unearths secrets from the past that will cause a war.
When death lies on the horizon the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend.
In this instance, he’s my husband.
The real question is when he finishes uncovering the truth, will he keep me or kill me.
Review:
Trigger warning : rape and violence.
Faith Summers has literally become one my favourite authors. If there is a book with her name then I have to read it. This is my second novel by her and I can tell you that it met all my expectations and is an amazingly written mafia romance. My love for her writing has increased with every subsequent read. She has a simple and easy to follow writing style.
Another thing that pulled me towards this book is the fact that the male protagonist is a part of the Bratva, the Russian Mafia.
In this book we follow Aria and Merciless (Lucca). Merciless is one of the most important persons in the Bratva. He kills for a living. Merciless Vows is tale of revenge, mystery, suspense, and romance that will make you fall in love with both the protagonists. It's a romance that will surely pull at your heart strings and one where as a reader you will get invested in.
Merciless vows is a mafia enemies to lovers romance. Faith summers has done justice to the genre. The plot of this story is super intense and full of unpredictable and well thought through twist and turns. They will catch you by surprise and are heart wrenching.
Merciless
vows has a great set of characters. My heart goes out to the
protagonists, they don't have it easy. All the characters in this story
are complex and super interesting. It is not an easy read with the kind of sub-genres that this story is based on. But if you choose to read it and are a fan of the mafia romance genre, then you will surely love every bit of it.
Merciless vows ends in a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the second installment in this series. It is a must read for all the mafia romance lovers out there.
I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars.

Excerpt
We stare at each other for what feels like forever, and my nerves spike with every second that passes.
The way he looks at me makes me uncomfortable. It’s with an air of fascination that makes me wonder if it was he I lost my virginity to.
Annoyingly, the thought sends a shiver of arousal through me, and the weight pulls on my core.
There’s an attraction between us I don’t want to accept, especially after last night. And this morning.
Yet, as I stare at him, I can’t help but wonder how we would have met if my father didn’t know I knew him.
How close were we?
I have so many questions, ones I feel he won’t answer,
“Go on, Printsessa,” he urges with a cocky smile that should be as illegal as he is. “Ask me. I don’t want my bride’s head to explode with all those questions she has swirling around in there.”
Him calling me his bride makes me cringe.
“Why do you want to marry me? What sort of business benefit is there in marrying me?”
“Business benefit?” He inclines his head, and his hair drifts over his shoulder. The fading sunlight captures the lighter hints of brown in the dark mass of wild hair.
“You don’t love me, so don’t play with me. Tell me the truth. You’re marrying a woman who has no memories beyond the last two and a half years. I think I deserve some explanation.”
He looks like he’s considering it. When he sets his shoulders back, my hopes rise.
“You fit in with my plans,” he answers.
“What plans?”
“Those don’t concern you.”
“How don’t they concern me? You have access to my whole life. This is wrong. You know it is.”
“Right and wrong are shades of gray that people manipulate to take whatever form they want. This is mine.”
I shake my head. “I don’t want to marry you.”
“You don’t have a choice, and if I were you, I wouldn’t create problems. Your father wasn’t joking when he told you to do as you’re told. You need to. If you don’t create problems, you won’t have a problem with me.”
He touches my cheek, and my body instantly betrays me.
The memory of his face comes into my mind, along with a kiss—the one from last night and another from before. That was the one I dreamt about.
“Where do I know you from?”
“I told you, you shouldn’t try and remember me.”
“Why? You’re the only thing I remember,” I confess, and as the words leave my lips, I regret it. I don’t think I should have told him that.
“Is that so? How unfortunate for you.” He backs away.
“You said you wouldn’t hurt me.”
“I guess I must have lied.”
