Merciless: An Irish Mafia Romance (Wild Irish Book 4)

Although I have purchased a couple of the previous books in this series, I have yet to read them. When I read the description of this book, I immediately jumped at the opportunity to review an Advanced Reader Copy.
There were some past situations that were brought up that left me feeling a bit in the dark. I’ll be reading all the previous books as soon as I can. Either way, this book was incredible! The things that Svetlana has suffered through! It broke my heart. But the thing that really drew me in and kept me reading well into the night was the tension and connection between Svetlana and Liam! I was starting to get anxious when my Kindle was showing 91% and things were just starting to really progress. I kept staring at my Kindle after reading the last words, hoping that more would appear. So now I’m itching for the next book!

This was my first Vi Carter book and I am seriously kicking myself for not finding this author sooner! This book was the perfect mix of dark and twisty that you need in a mafia story along with interesting characters that make you want to keep reading.

Svetlana has been her uncle’s prisoner for years and he has kept her locked away from the world, living in fear with the threat of punishment if she acts out. Her only true friend is her dog and she worries her uncle or his men would harm the dog to harm her. After she is punished from attempting to run away she is informed that she will be leaving their house and used for a good faith deal with the Irish. Liam doesn’t like anyone in his personal space, including his family, so he isn’t happy about having Svetlana around. He doesn’t know how long she will be there or why she is even there but he assumes that her uncle has ulterior motives and she is supposed to distract him while she’s there. The longer they are around each other the harder it is to deny their feelings, but she isn’t his and and some point he is going to have to give her back… or will he?

I can’t say enough amazing things about this book!! Liam was everything!! He’s a tortured soul that really doesn’t know how deal with emotions, I remember one scene he even thought something along the lines that he didn’t know how to react with someone seeking out comfort from him because he normally cause of the distress. He wants to keep his walls up, be the stone cold mafia man but yet he can’t help but want to protect Svetlana and claim her as his own. Watching his evolution over the story was so swoon worthy at times! Svetlana is definitely one of my favorite female leads, even though she is shifted from one impossible situation to another she keeps fighting. She’s quick on her toes, resourceful and I was continuously impressed by her character.

The chemistry between Svetlana and Liam was insane in a good way, even when she was terrified of him and he was annoyed by her. Once they started to give into their feelings I was pretty much done. I haven’t had the opportunity to read the other stories in this series but I plan to make sure I’m caught up for book 5! I highly recommend this book!

I started this series on # 4 Merciless so it’s possible I’m missing some connections between characters. Even though I have, it still has good explication of what’s happening as it’s going along and I’m loving it!
I meet Svetlana, the future Queen Of Czech and her mafia uncle, Mr. Novak, with his heavy heartless soul, that seems to use his niece at his whim for his economy gain. If she doesn’t follow through, she gets whipped by her uncle righthand hitman, Holic.
She wishes to be free but each time they catch her and she’ll have to lie to stay alive!
Svetlana is bargained off for a time to Liam O’ Reagan, a hotelier and he’s mafia, in Ireland but this is the funny thing, she has to return safe and still a Virgin. She’s beautiful and I love how she acts like she doesn’t speak English and Liam knows she can speak because he did a back ground check on her! I love their enter action between each other and the growing chemistry.
I love how we are seeing a piece of the characters and the story behind them and how they rely on their big brother Liam to fix the family problems.
You’ll get to see how ruthless Liam can be and how Svetlana brings a softer side to him. It does end on a cliffhanger!
Can’t wait for the next book!

Vi Carter has written an interesting book that deals with Svetlana being used as good faith for a deal. Svetlana has been locked up by Uncle Mr. Novak since her parents died.

She knows she has no way out so she goes along with it. Liam is who she is going to be with and he is only doing this for a business deal. When Svetlana and her Uncle get to the meeting spot Mr. Novak tries to change the contract but Liam doesn’t let him. Liam takes Svetlana to his private quarter which is in the basement of his home and then locks her in. She is not a happy person and will wait to escape.

This is the fourth book in the series and they really need to be read in order or you are going to end up lost, I think they just keep getting better and better and Liam and Svetlana’s book was definitely my favorite so far, it was a good read with lots going on to keep me hooked all the way until the end. I can’t wait for the next one.

I really liked this book. Liam seems like a really hard to like hero, but I felt it after a couple of chapters. He was legit scary though. Svetlana was doing the best she could. I liked their progression, but she went from not trusting him to trusting him slightly quickly, and I do mean slightly. There wasn’t a dull moment, but a couple of things bothered me. One was the lack of commas when speaking to a person. There were a lot of instances where a person was speaking to another person and it was written like “Thank you Danny” instead of “Thank you, Danny”. Silly I know, but more pleasing to my eyes.

The other thing was that this is not a stand alone. That’s totally fine, but there was nothing that let me know this was a serial book and would leave me hanging with their problems nowhere near being resolved. I thought it was a series and each person got a story that was told over the course of the book with a maybe HEA and while they were connected by the characters, some things wrapped up. But its more of a soap opera where sometimes they focus on one couple and then when it gets good they switch so you’re left screaming because you don’t know if someone died or who the baby’s father is or will she come out of that coma? But read these in order so they make more sense and you get a more full picture of the world she has built. Thanks to Booksprout for the chance to start a series I have had my eye on for awhile.

DEMANDING EMOTIONS!
This story is demanding with a gripping storyline that makes you feel the emotions with perfect flowing storyline that holds your attention from start to finish. It’s intense, hot, edgy and heartfelt and has me anxious to read to.

All I can say is oh my god!! I didn’t know I’m this good was number four in the series. But I’m going to go back to the beginning and read them now. It only took me two days to read this book ! I couldn’t put it down. Liam was intense. I need to know what next.
