Merciless Union: A Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage Romance (Blood and Thorns Duet Book 2) by Faith Summers is a sweepingly dramatic conclusion of Aria and Lucca's love story. Blood and Thorns is a fitting description as blood is life and thorns hurt. There is so much hurt and darkness in their lives, from their individual youths to the present, together and apart. But because of their heartfelt and precious beginning as children, you can't help but hope for this love to surpass any and all obstacles.
As one would expect from a dark, mafia world romance, the plot places each of them in peril (repeated) and the vile evilness that surrounds them is a constant presence that suffocates and blankets every good thing with danger lingering in the air. This book was a page turner as little nuggets of revelations are spread throughout. With each new revelation, I was simply compelled to continue to see what Lucca and Aria would do or what evil antagonism would befall them next. It's a constant back and forth giving the reader that sense of just waiting for the other shoe to drop and put our hero and heroine in peril once again. But it's not only their dark world, the mafia elements and danger that make this such a compelling read. Aria's amnesia, the forced marriage, trauma from her childhood and coming to terms with what she should want and what her heart wants is just the tip of the ice berg. In addition to the action, the steamy interludes with Lucca, there is a deeply emotional and psychological aspect as well. And it's not just Aria that goes through it. Lucca has his own deeply disturbing emotional and psychological issues to deal with both past and newly present.
While the dark romance elements and the mafia world make this book intriguing, the characters make it exceptional.
Overall, Lucca and Aria are stronger together and prevail against all the odds. Their love shines through giving them the impetus to survive. Not only do they survive, but Aria thrives and Lucca basks in the glow of his, Aria's and their family's HEA.
