It's like a fairy tale when Dominic rescues Lily from a bad situation in Mexico. He sweeps her off her feet and into marriage within a week. It's only after the wedding that she discovers her husband has more in common with Machiavelli than Prince Charming. The ruthless mobster deliberately targeted her as a bargaining chip to use against her father, who is heading up an investigation into the Rinaldi family's mafia ties. Their relationship is a merger, not a marriage. He believes Lily is sweet and subservient. He actually thinks she won't give him any trouble at all. Her new husband has another think coming.
Merger a Mafia Love Story by R E Saxton I may be seen as being a prude here but I feel that lawlessness should not be glamourized. That being said there was little of it in the story. The characters were good, but I would have been happier to have had a storyline without any criminal element. As such I am giving it 4*.
