Desecrated Love Trilogy, 3
My father is dead. I am the head of the Gallo Empire. Now I must return to the place where I met the woman who became my wife.
Cyprus hasn't been my home in over a decade. Standing on this unhallowed ground feels foreign. As do the capos who eye me with mistrust and disdain. But with Willow by my side we will conquer this place as we have our home territories. With her by my side, I can do anything.
Until the women who mean the most are stolen from me. From my house.
Willow has always been the one person who can calm me. Stop me before I go too far. Without her, my fury reigns.
My enemies will know no peace.
Their houses will burn as they have shattered mine.
I am Raphael Gallo. They will kneel before me.

Excerpt:
“Tonight has been difficult, and I won’t be gentle with you,” I warn her softly. Willow’s head tips back, exposing the pale column of her throat to me. My cock thickens rapidly, and I force my breaths to be even.
“But I promised you a present. Are you ready for that?”
She pants a little, her lips parting in a way that makes me want to use her in front of everyone. “Here?” Her eyes widen with a dual shot of arousal and fear. “Rafe?”
Her gaze flickers around the room, and I know what she’s thinking.
Our first encounter here was a one-night stand.
The second night… she wasn’t only mine.
I nuzzle her throat, her shiver rippling violently through me. “Are you saying no, my Raven?”
She shakes her head, whispering, “Please.”
I gesture to the silhouette lingering beyond the shadows.
His smile sharpens as he runs his eyes over Willow and holds out his hand. Though her nerves are rioting, she rises with the grace of a queen and the trembling courage of the girl I first took here.
Together, we guide her into the darkened room.
No lights. No sound. Just her breath, shallow and fast.
She reacts to the sensory deprivation beautifully. Her lashes flutter closed, and I tie the silk across her eyes. I smooth her hair, taking my time. Then I step back and let her tremble for us.
Luca circles her, blades flashing at his wrist—not to cut, but to tease. The tip of the blade drags down her spine. Just a whisper. Enough to make her gasp.
“Stand still. I don’t want to... slip,” he says, voice low, dark.
My Raven doesn’t run.
She stands there for us—naked, trembling, perfect.
“Good girl,” I murmur, stepping behind her. My fingers trail down her sides, Luca’s blade gliding along her thigh.
Fear. Anticipation. Trust.
We’re going to ruin her.
And she’s going to thank us for it.
I can't believe how fast I ended this book and how much I enjoyed reading it. I honestly didn’t want it to end. The story was well written. I liked the way the characters were believable and relevant to the story. It kept you wanting to see how the story ended. I especially like how Willow wasn't a wuss or relegated to being helpless. I would recommend this book to other mafia lovers.
Fierce Vows delivers a jaw-dropping conclusion to the Desecrated Love Trilogy that is equal parts emotional, explosive, and deeply satisfying.

This book is a rollercoaster of redemption and raw emotion, wrapped in steamy scenes and high-stakes drama. If you’ve been following this trilogy, prepare to be blown away.

A suspenseful story that held me captive as the drama played out. Each scene showed just how far he would go to ensure his loved ones safety. I loved the palpable drama and suspense. An enjoyable read.
This book is full of secrets and power, and a big game of chess is bein played by so many players. So much action in this book and kept me in my toes the whole time! This story is enjoyable to read and characters written wonderfully. It was intense, brimming with twists, spicy in all the best ways, and the cliffhanger end was brutal. The story was nearly non-stop action (of every definition of that word), and I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
I absolutely love Willow. She's a complete bad a@$. I wish I was half as mentally strong as she is. Don't get me wrong I also love Rafe but I don't think I would have enjoyed him half as much without willow. There were some aspects of the book that hit me hard you know the abuse of children.
This is an intense read and trilogy! This is the third part of the "Desecrated Love" trilogy. They must be read in order. This story is very intense and a definite page turner. There are definitely triggers along with dark elements, violence and more. The story is a mafia type with an arranged marriage, intrigue and good twists. The story is ultimately about Willow and Rafe. The story is action, suspense, abuse, danger, violence, murder, betrayal, passion, steam, sweetness, love, revenge and so so much more. Even the epilogue leaves wondering if there will be more to their story.
Fierce Vows is phenomenally written, exceptionally balanced with action/romance and beautifully executed by Jade Marshall and Sofia Aves. These two authors continue to showcase what phenomenal authors they are with each book I’ve read by them so far. I can’t wait to see what their next book will be about. Fierce Vows is absolutely suspenseful and a page turning dark mafia romance story. This novel had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. I absolutely did NOT want to set this book down until I read the last page. The characters are well developed and beautifully executed throughout the story. Fierce Vows is the journey of Willow and Rafe. The chemistry between these two characters is absolutely breathtaking and undeniably irresistible. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know both Rafe and Willow as well as witnessing their feelings for one another grow stronger as their story progresses forward through the pages of this book. I would definitely give this book as a recommendation for anyone who is looking for a new fantastic dark mafia romance to read. An Absolutely FANTASTIC Dark Mafia Romance!!!!!!
What an exciting and spicy book I have enjoyed this series so much and this book was filled with suspense, which I loved, drama and scorching hot spice. I couldn’t stop turning the pages to see what would happen next!!! Holy moly this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I love this storyline, it’s original, addicting and had me hooked with the very first book Splintered Vows. This book is the last in this trilogy and can’t be read as a standalone. Jade Marshall is one of my favorite authors, her writing style is gritty and captivating. I love her characters, they are complex and have intriguing backstories. This book is a dark mafia romance and touches on dark themes and topics. I laughed, cried and fist-pumped a grew times while reading this book. I can’t wait to see what comes next!!! Willow is a force to be reckoned with. She is a true queen to Rafe. I love her growth through this whole series. Rafe is dark and broody and very possessive of Willow. They had a chemistry that was explosive and epic. I loved their journey and ups and downs in this trilogy. Such an amazingly written romance!!!
I must commend the quality of these vows, as they were truly exceptional. The narrative within the book provided an immersive experience, and I was captivated. The storytelling was compelling, drawing me into the world it created. Its tone was engaging, successfully creating a captivating experience. The exploration of its themes was both dark and remarkably well-executed.
We are taken along in the journey that Willow and Rafe make together. They return to Cyprus together and she is the only thing that can keep him calm. But when things go wrong, you better hide because then he can no longer be stopped. Beautiful story with tension, action, danger and enough steam and romance
I love the story line, I just wish the book was longer so we can read more about the couple! And the others! I love this author so I will be expecting anxiously the next book!
Fierce Vows Book 3 of Desecrated Love Trilogy Jade Marshall The story and characters were well written and developed. I enjoyed the chemistry and journey. Great read.
This installment is a fantastic addition to the series. Rafe and Willow are a formidable team but what happens when what matters most to you is taken away. The twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat. This was so well written and I can't wait for the next book.
I thought this book was well written and I couldn't put it down. Jade Marshall did it again and I can't wait to read more. I recommend this book.
Willow and Rafe have come so far from the forced marriage they were thrown in. They fell in love and have become the ultimate power couple. In this book, they have some major conflicts and Rafe is going to burn down everything in his path for his wife. Book 3 is my favorite so far. They’re in love, they have a great connection and don’t forget the steamy kink. However, the part you don’t want to miss is Rafe and his devotion. This has been a great trilogy.
This is Book 3 of Desecrated Love Trilogy and it did not disappoint at all!! Dark mafia romance, suspense, alpha male vibes, all the drama and angst, desire, deceit, and spicy spice! Great read filled with interesting characters and wonderful writing. Never a dull moment with Raphael Gallo on your page!
