The Reckless Union by Monica Murphy

The Reckless Union is the final book in the Arranged Marriage trilogy by Monica Murphy featuring Perry Constantine and Charlotte Lancaster. What began as a marriage of convenience between two strangers has transformed into one of love and passion between the two. This book immediately picks up after the events of The Ruthless Groom and Charlotte is in danger following her reckless decision to meet up with Seamus McTiernan—the "antagonist" of the story. Truthfully, I wasn't exactly sold on this supposed villain because he reeked of desperation and selfishness. His decision to kidnap Charlotte was hilariously idiotic considering that she was already married to Perry and would never take him back. I was glad this issue was resolved relatively quickly as I was more interested in the developing relationship between Perry and Charlotte.

"No one ever believes in me. Or thinks I'm capable of taking care of myself. Until you."

There is no denying the fact that Perry and Charlotte have grown as characters, especially as a couple, since we first met them in The Reluctant Bride. Charlotte had to experience some internal growth and realization of her love for Perry. Although she briefly became a shell of herself, I loved that Perry was able to help her find herself again. On the other hand, Perry remains true to the character that I have always known him to be ever since we were first introduced to him in Skyscraper Cinderella—extremely loyal, reckless, caring, carefree, and capable of love. The colorful nicknames he had for Seamus were hilarious and creative. I personally thought he experienced the most change after he almost lost Charlotte and realized his love for her. Perry knew that he had to grew up, and he did.

"I would do anything for her. Just to make her feel safe. Just to see her smile."

In the end, I enjoyed this trilogy and would recommend it to fans of the Midnight Dynasty world because it features the reckless and lovable Perry Constantine—a prominent and recurring character that has been featured in several books so far. Charlotte and Perry simply burned up the pages with their chemistry and passion for each other. It was interesting to note that the more Perry became possessive of Charlotte, the more secure and happy she felt in their relationship. Even though it took time for their love to develop, I was still captivated by their relationship because it felt natural for them to be unsure at first. This was, after all, an arranged marriage between two people who have never met each other before. I recommend this series to those who like the arranged marriage trope between a recklessly charming and possessive hero with his sweet and doubtful heroine.

The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy

Following the cliffhanger ending that shattered the temporary truce and happiness that Charlotte and Perry found in The Reluctant Bride, the story in The Ruthless Groom picks up immediately where the previous book left off. Seamus McTiernan has re-entered Charlotte Lancaster's life and is determined to destroy her relationship and marriage with Perry Constantine. Although we still do not know the reason why, Charlotte and Perry's marriage ceremony and show must go on despite their frustrations at the situation. I thought this was an excellent sequel to the first book as Perry and Charlotte's relationship experience a transformation as they navigate the angst and drama that comes with being a couple. They went from indifferent strangers in an arranged marriage to reluctant allies and eventually lovers. The sexual chemistry and tension between these two was super steamy and hot.

"She's the most valuable thing in the world. My world. The Chevelle isn't my most prized possession. My wife is."

Despite wanting to shake Perry for making assumptions and distrusting Charlotte, I loved how honest they were with their bodies. There is no denying the fact that these two are incredibly attracted to each other because they simply burned up the pages with every interaction since much of it takes place during Perry and Charlotte's honeymoon. I also enjoyed the hate/love dynamic that these two had because of Charlotte's past. If I were to sum up Perry and Charlotte's relationship in a few words it would be "a blossoming and fragile love." As the second son in the Constantine family, Perry was reckless with his life and spoiled but he always had a heart of gold. In a way, Perry is Charlotte's white knight and I truly believe she deserves him too. As someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, meeting Perry was Charlotte's one chance at happiness and a love like no other.

"He's so deeply embedded inside of me it's as if we're fused together. Like we belong to each other."

In the end, Perry and Charlotte's smoking hot and angsty relationship will continue in The Reckless Union as we're all left reeling from another shocking cliffhanger ending. The enemy has finally made their move and Perry will stop at nothing to keep Charlotte safe because she is his. I absolutely loved how Perry went from this charming and affable young man to someone who is equally possessive, dirty, dominant, and ruthless—just like his older brother, Winston Constantine from Skyscraper Cinderella. I have a soft spot for Perry Constantine and Monica Murphy has done a wonderful job with his character. I simply can't wait to see how it all ends because I am actively rooting for Charlotte and Perry's happy ending. Fans of the Midnight Dynasty world will not want to miss out on this latest installment in the story! I highly recommend this trilogy to those who love the arranged marriage trope as well as the push/pull dynamic between the seemingly charming but possessive hero and his sweet but naive heroine.

The Reluctant Bride by Monica Murphy

Monica Murphy certainly intrigued and captured my attention in The Reluctant Bride because she finally brings to life one of the characters that I had been highly anticipating to read in the Midnight Dynasty series: Perry Constantine. We first met him in Skyscraper Cinderella and I remember loving how fun, kind, and protective he was. I find it incredible that the author was able to use these character traits of his and expand on it in his own book. Perry is exactly how I remembered and imagined him to be. Compared to other characters in the Midnight Dynasty world, Perry is much more charming, playful, protective, possessive of those he cares for, and has a slight edge of danger to him. His interactions with Charlotte Lancaster, his future wife, is both hilarious and exciting because they like to argue with and taunt each other. This is an opposites attract and “enemies to lovers” romance with an arranged marriage between the two.

“He has a way of looking at me, talking to me, as if no one matters. His attention is always one hundred percent for me. And no one else.”

My favorite part about this book would have to be the push and pull between Perry and Charlotte. Despite not wanting to marry each other, their relationship naturally progressed throughout the book into something more. The attraction was immediate and sparks flew whenever they argued. Unlike Winston Constantine, the oldest brother in the family, Perry is more relaxed and whimsical while trying to find his place in the world. Meeting Charlotte shifted something inside of him—one where he feels responsible for her because she needed him and no one had before. I find his personality to be the perfect match to Charlotte's prickly, shy, and wary nature. There is no denying that these two have incredible chemistry and their scenes together, especially the one after their wedding rehearsal, was built up beautifully.

“This woman looks at me as if I could be her savior. She needs me. I want to be there for her. I want to be her knight in shining armor.”

In the end, I'm excited to read more of Charlotte and Perry in The Ruthless Groom because what we got in this book has the potential for a spectacular couple and scorching hot story. I can't even say I was surprised by that cliffhanger ending—only that I wanted more. Charlotte's past is coming back to haunt her and it has a shocking relation to the Constantine's mortal enemy, the Morelli's. Without knowing how Perry will react to this revelation, Charlotte is shocked, afraid, but also hopeful and adamant that he will save her. I have been waiting so long for Perry's book and I simply loved what Monica Murphy has written so far for him. Even though I was unsure about Charlotte at first, she grew on me and Perry. He became protective of her and I loved how he became her knight in shining armor without realizing or wanting to in the first place. I highly recommend this book to those who have been looking forward to Perry Constantine's book because you will not be disappointed in this opposites attract romance between him and his sweet, quick-tempered, and reserved heroine.
