    “The only payment I’ll accept is your body, heart, and soul.” Never before in my life have I wanted a woman the way I want Winter Hemsley. I want to own her fiery temper. I want to possess her wild spirit. I want to dominate her body, forcing her to submit to me… and only me.
  




  First Impressions

I was really curious to try out other books by this author as I really had a blast with her Sinners series. And I was still in a page turning mafia mode, so I decided to grab up on Merciless Saints and i can tell you that I absolutely adored it so deeply. This book was so different than anything else that I could have expected from this author. It definitely had a different feel to a romance that your typical mafia romance as it definitely had a more assassin vibe to the story. I found it so intriguing the world building that is built within this story and it definitely is dark and bloody haha so make sure you can handle darker themes with the hero and heroine both being trained assassins. It really has an intense feel to the story that will satisfy suspense fans.


  I’m going to claim the payment she owes me once we’re on the island. She will warm my bed during the nights, and in return, I’ll kill her enemies. I will own her body, her broken heart, her unwavering spirit. I’ll help her take her rightful place in her family’s business while satisfying my craving for her.



  Summary

Winter is viewed as the “blood princess” and not just because her father is the kingpin of working with blood diamonds in Africa but because she witnessed her mother murdered in front of her eyes and vowed ever since to protect her family which is where the St. Monarch’s Academy comes in. She is now eighteen and she has learned everything that she can, but now she wants the more advanced training and she knows that she will learn from the best at St. Monarch’s Acadey where the most elite of assassins and mafia families alike come together, with no bloodshed to learn how to fight and kill and be the best in the world. There is an instant attraction between Winter and the King of assassins: Damien, who instantly know what is between them is real even knowing that they could be enemies one day, But when the worst happens and they have to rely on each other for survival, they are determined to conquer their enemies and become king and queen but it will come at a price, will the cost be worth it to them both?


  
    “If the marriage is consummated, I won’t stand for a parade of other women through my house.” Ahhh… my princess is possessive. I don’t think she knows what she just gave away with that request. It tells me she cares enough to not want to share me.
  



  What I Loved

Merciless Saints was such a unique story that I had so much fun reading and I just couldn’t seem to get enough. This book completely kicks booty and was so wild and entertaining and I never knew where it was going to go. This is a story that will lead you on a merry chase and you will be more than happy to be along for the adventure, I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this book but I will be honest this story completely blew my expectations out of the water. It had a level of intensity and emotion that I wasn’t ready for. I am telling you to get a box of tissues for this one here because you are going to NEED them and I am not saying that lightly. Whew does this author know to evoke such intense emotion. The romance that builds between our characters is a bit of frenemies. They both are attracted to each other but they are enemies in a way as they could be contracted to kill each other down the road. But we definitely see how their attraction is the real thing and is what will get through the rough stuff is their deep connection. It gets pretty brutal and violent at times, but there are also these small sweet moments that make it all worth it.


  
     “Treat me like your king, and I will make you a queen.” Her eyes search mine for the truth of my words, and when she finds it, she pushes up on her toes, pressing her mouth to mine. Submit to me, and I will burn the world down for you.
  



  What I Struggled With

There is this moment that I struggled with concerning the heroine, where she takes an action that I felt was so unnecessary and just left a bad taste in my mouth.


  Overall View

Merciless Saints is a wild and intense story that will grapple with the reader and deliver in its intense levels of emotion and plot building, its a story that will stun you completely in ways that you least expect and more!

First book in the St. Monarch Academy that I am reading in a very weird order lol. I wanted to read the story of Winter ever since I read badass Isabella mentioning Winter as someone she looks upto! And I am not at all disappointed. Overall a great read that I might read again in future. The only single part I find disturbing is how Damien killed someone just because he slept with Winter ages ago. I mean what about you dude!? Do you think Winter should go ahead and kill every wh*re (his words) that you slept with before her?

Also this book has less action than book#5 (Alexis/Isabella)
