Story
Everything changed overnight. Truth became my enemy, and the sting of betrayal dragged me into a web of lies. I’m damned if I fight to live and damned if I die. The dark secrets I remember might tear my marriage apart. Love is a myth we shouldn’t have explored. My husband was always my enemy. Love just made me forget and blinded me. The cruel hand of death is the only answer when doom takes over. I don’t know if I’ll survive. Or if death will bury me along with the sins of my father.

Story
Mikhail Dmitriyev is a beautiful devil with a villainous heart and a thirst for revenge. The choices he gave me when he stole me away from my home with an army of men were very clear—marry me or die. I chose to marry him and live. But there’s one small problem with his grand plan to rain Armageddon on the Mexican Cartel. I’m not the woman he thinks I am. I’m not the cartel princess he thinks he took to make his enemies bow to him. When my captor finds out my secret and realizes he married the wrong woman, love won’t be enough to save me. And neither will his obsession.

Massimo D’Agostino is the heir to his father’s empire. Don’t be fooled by his handsome face or that piercing blue gaze. He’s no prince charming. He’s dangerous and feared, possessive and fierce. Our first meeting began with a contract that forced me to marry him and sign my life away. I was a debt repayment and a pawn in his game to exact revenge against my father. The only way out is death. I belong to him now. Me, the Balesteri Mafia princess. Pure and untouched. Owned by the devil who placed me in a gilded cage.

Dante Marino’s the definition of beautiful destruction. Everything he touched, he destroyed...including me. We were friends. Then we weren't. He used me. Played me. Took every ounce of my affection and threw it away. He became my enemy, then risked everything to save me. Now, he wants me back, claiming he's changed - determined to make me his. Each vow, every possessive kiss, feels like he’s mine. But I can't forget that underneath his rock-hard body, seductive grin, and wicked promises, one thing will always remain true - he's my undoing.

I live in a world where secrecy reigns—a society rooted in power, wealth, and long-held dynasties, where men are kings, and women are pawns. For as long as I can remember, I’ve dreamt of escaping the shackles of my expectations, but it can only ever be a dream. I made a fatal mistake, and those shackles became a cage. Now, I’m trapped in a war with a man who controls my every move. He’s my brother’s best friend. My enemy, my tormentor, and my solace. His words have the power to wound me. His touch just might break me.

Summary
When I was 16, a gypsy fortune-teller told me my future held darkness and death. She was right.
But what she didn’t tell me was I’d lose all my memories and that I wouldn’t recognize the devil when he came to steal my life.
Lucca Dyshekov - the Bratva assassin they call Merciless - rose from hell and turned my world upside down. 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?
Merciless Vows is a dark mafia arranged-marriage romance. It contains dubious situations, mature content, and graphic violence some listeners might find offensive and/or triggering.

A SUSPENSE-FILLED BLOODY & BEAUTIFUL BRATVA MUST
Wow, I’ve just finished this phenomenal listen and I’m des..per..ate to start book 2 because the cliffhanger here was brutal.. BRUTAL. It’s got everything I love and crave from a Russian Mafia story.. plus much more. The twisted web with so many secrets and revelations.. the Mafia layers with their pawns and players.. the evil villains and their bloody plans and body counts - just wow again. And they’re all tightly woven together around a forced arranged marriage between doomed soulmates on different sides.
Aria and Lucca.. it was sweet and beautiful when they used to secretly meet as innocent naive children. It was a different feeling altogether when sexual attraction sparked as they danced years later. However, now it’s sizzles, friction and fire between the avenging Bratva Killer and the captive daughter of someone he hates. It’s something all-consuming in a forced marriage to the woman who lost her memories of everything she once knew.. and to the damaged revenge-fuelled man who’d survived the bloody carnage of his family’s annihilation years previously. Then, the wicked do as they do.. and the brave bend but don’t break.. and the revelations hit.. and the count of the dead climbs. The woman with no memories starts to remember shocking truths.. and the killer’s once dead heart starts to beat again.. and it was beautiful for just a few short hours. And then bam more brutal twisted revelations with devastating consequences that left me reeling. However my heart.. my heart.. my heart at the shocking betrayal and bloodshed that stained the cliffhanger in pools of blood.
I desperately want to continue to the next book now but I swore at the clock and stopped looking at it when its disapproving face told me it was way passed 2 am all because I’m a weak willed woman. But I so am when it comes to Mafia mayhem, true love, the reformation of a drool-worthy sexy Russian Bratva Assassin and the woman who awaken his cold dead heart. (Maybe I should just throw out the clock!) And the awesome dual pov narration was phenomenal and faultless too as the characters, feels, tense drama, sizzles, sex, tender and touching and suspenseful edge-of-your seat hold your breath angst and action came to life thanks to them making this a very VERY difficult to stop. Kale, your sexy alpha Russian accent.. deeelicious 😜🥰.
Worth a credit? Definitely.. great world-building of a violent world of revenge, retribution, rules, remorse and redemption where a broken, toxic forced marriage turns into a beautiful romance but breaks on a nasty cliffhanger.

Not gonna lie. I wasn’t sure about this one. Instead, I read all the way through and quite quickly, if I may add. Some many twists and turns. I don’t even know who to trust. Narrators are 👍🏽👍🏽! On to the next one. Also, I want a Marilyn in my life!

Very decent story duet
At least this author has the Russian male with an accent. I hate books that say they are Irish, Italian, Scottish etc with a crappy narrator or no accent . I like this book and I’ve already bought the second. It has mystery and intrigue and of course some steam. So it was worth a credit I’ve saved for a while to me.
