REVIEW ➞ Merciful Vows by Vanessa Luisa

BLURB ➞

A bittersweet second chance romantic suspense standalone.

It’s impossible to shield your heart from a man who knows you so well. A man who is your husband. The father of your children. The love of your life. A man like Giulio Giannotti.

I thought we would last forever…but we won’t. Not when he doesn’t believe our abducted child is still alive. Not if I continue to lose myself in this chaotic hope. Not until our daughter is found.

It scares me…the stark reality of how cruel life can be to us, how twisted secrets turn to sacrifice and how there’s always someone in the misty shadows lurking…watching.

Tonight marks six months since we lost it all. It should bind Giulio and me closer together, yet the moment his hot gaze lands on mine, it’s all over. The pact I made with myself to reserve all my nerves shatters into a million pieces as those eyes burn straight through me.

They’re heavenly fire. And it’s as if he can see me. All of me…

If this is supposed to be the end of us, then why does it feel like it’s only just the beginning?

Merciful Vows is the first book in the emotionally gripping interconnected world set in Seattle: ‘The Giannotti World’.


All good things end. It is okay because they existed and will continue to exist in your heart, even if you cannot see them. Live in the now. Love in the now. Trust life, amore.


ARC REVIEW ➞

Giulio and Valencia are husband and wife, they are parents, but when their sweet baby girl is kidnapped, everything changes for them. Their happiness together is no longer there. Their marriage couldn’t survive the loss of their child going missing.

These two took me on an emotional journey that was full of twists and turns. They frustrated me at times and they gave me hope. The story itself had me on the edge of my seat right up until the final sentence. I love their relationship, it wasn’t perfect and they had troubles, but they knew there was love between them and they did what they could to keep that and find happiness again. They had a second chance that many may not get to have.

I loved this story was a little different. Giulio and Valencia are already married, though separated, they had their happily ever after until their world was shattered. There is mystery and suspense mixed in that keeps you guessing right up until the very end.

If you’re looking for a second chance romance with suspense and emotions this is one to check out.
