Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3.5 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

The third book in the Empire Nightclub<\/i> series, and we\u2019re deep in the world of organised crime. This book is a direct continuation of the first two books of the series, and should not be read as a standalone.<\/p>\n

After meeting under less-than-romantic circumstances, Gabriel and Mercy are truly falling for each other, and their lives are becoming more and more intertwined. After the explosive ending to the last book, they\u2019re in Vegas for Gabriel and his brother, Caleb, to continue their mission to get free of their crime-lord father and start a straight life. But the FBI is closing in, and Gabriel\u2019s father is still pulling strings from his prison cell, and he\u2019s willing to go to any length to prove just how much control he still has over his son\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

Ooohh, it\u2019s all starting to happen now! The romance is strong, the drama is intense, and things are building to a head as we approach the final book of the series. I love how Gabriel and Mercy have fallen so effortlessly together in the middle of it all. Their wild passion for each other is now full of emotion, and while Mercy still battles with the realities of Gabriel\u2019s life, she cannot deny her feelings. And Gabriel is wearing his heart on his sleeve, and I loved it!<\/p>\n

\u201cYou fucking own me, Mercy.\u201d He presses his forehead to mine. \u201cI never expected to feel about anyone like I do about you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Most of the action in this book takes place external to the love story, and there\u2019s lots going on. The line between good and bad is blurry, and there is mystery, drama, and devastating betrayal. It’s a fast-paced story, which ends on another brutal cliffhanger, and I\u2019m diving straight into the next book.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n
