When the woman he cherishes above all else has been hurt… his inner demons come out to play.

Adelina Gallo’s life changed in the blink of an eye. She always knew that she’d be a bargaining chip to further her family’s connections.

Hayden Gallagher is portrayed as a monster. Someone that Adelina should be fearful off.

But Ade knows differently, she’s seen a side to him that not many do and she’ll do anything to keep the man she’s falling head over heels for from danger.

Even if it means doing things she never thought she would do.

Hayden Gallagher has made more mistakes than he can count. He is haunted by his actions. But the moment he married Adelina Gallo he believes this to be his second chance.

His wife is soft, sweet, and pure. She’s everything that he’s not, and he cherishes her for it. He vows to do everything in his power to protect her.
But when his enemies circle it’s more than just his life on the line this time.

Can Hayden and Adelina survive the war that’s coming, or will they fall just like so many others have?

Amazing Read
I don’t even know where to begin HOLY MFKN WOW…. Here I thought Jade’s book had broke me nope not at all Ade and Hayden’s book freaking broke me. Hayden is a freaking rock star he is so protective of not only his family but Ade and her sister as well. I freaking loath Ade’s mother and father their family dynamic is nothing like the Gallagher’s and when Hay and Ade marry she finally gets what a family feels like. Watching their story unfold was both heart warming and gut wrenching with everything these two have been through. Hayden still feeling guilty from what happened to Jade and Ade suffering in silence to protect her sister. The enemies are thick and are around every corner. Hayden and Ade balance one another so well their chemistry is off the charts but their love runs soul deep. Hayden was instantly taken by Ade. I love the Gallagher’s so freaking much they just bring in new additions as if they have been their for years. I also love the friendship the Ade develops with to me who was known as the black sheep of family and they have a truly special bond she was there for Ade when she needed her the most. I love this series so much these men are ruthless and unforgiving and the ladies are no different. They all fight and love hard. The heat and spice between these two will have you panting Hayden is a whole other level of sexy let me tell you!!! This is a must read series.

4.0 out of 5 stars heart breaking, emotional, dark
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022
CHERISHED UNION is the eighth instalment in Brooke Summers’ contemporary adult MADE dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is thirty year old Hayden Gallagher, and twenty-five year old Adelina Gallo’s story line. CHERISHED UNION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Some of the events of CHERISHED UNION cross over with, and run parallel to some of the events of book seven EXPLOSIVE UNION.

WARNING: Due the to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from several first person perspectives including Hayden and Adelina, CHERISHED UNION focuses on the arranged marriage between thirty year old Hayden Gallagher and twenty-five year old Adelina Gallo. In an effort to secure more power in the criminal underworld, the Gallagher and Gallo families merged with the marriage of Rocco Gallo and Jade Gallagher (Explosive Union), and Hayden and Adelina but after their first meeting life for Adelina begins to spiral out of control, and the Gallagher family must rally the proverbial troops in an effort to protect our story line heroine, and her thirteen year old sister Vivi. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Hayden and Adelina, and the potential fall-out as the Gallagher family must strike first before they lose everyone they love.

Meanwhile the ongoing war with the Masters, a rival crime family, continues to threaten the lives of the Gallagher family, and in this, Hayden, his siblings and their father enact a plan to stop the war, once and for all.

Adelina Gallo is an innocent and has been groomed to be the perfect mobster wife but Adelina and her sister Vivi have been ignored and relegated to the background all of their lives, and in this, Adelina’s brothers open their eyes to the truth about their family, and the dark secrets hidden behind the ‘hallowed’ walls. Hayden Gallagher grew up in a loving family but has always known his world would be a life of crime. Killing and torture is nothing knew or foreign to our story line hero but when his wife continues to be on the receiving end of abuse and attacks, Hayden knows that to protect Adelina, the ‘enemy’ will have to be taken out.

The relationship between Hayden and Adelina is an arranged marriage of which neither one is happy or expecting a happily ever after but Hayden knows immediately that Adelina is the woman to call to his heart, a heart he had always thought deadly and cold. Hayden’s reputation precedes his introduction to our story line heroine, and in this Adelina fears for her safety whether with her family or with the man who has sworn to protect her. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters including both Hayden and Adelina’s siblings and their parents. The requisite evil has many faces-not everyone will survive.

CHERISHED UNION is a story of family and relationships, abuse, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, loss and grief, acceptance and love. The premise is heart breaking, emotional and dark; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are dynamic, determined and desperate.

Ade and Hayden are pawns. Their marriage is to being a peace treaty of sorts but when the mafia is involved it’s never that easy.

There is always danger lurking, waiting for an opening to cause pain. Unfortunately, not everyone will survive when it all explodes.

This story will have you unable to stop at any point. You’ll find yourself gripped, praying that Ade and Hayden can come out on top once it’s all said and done.

Be prepared for an emotional ride.

This series just gets better and better, I’m not ready for it to end. Just a warning, you will need tissues for the deaths in this one.
Adelina Gallo didn’t want to marry Hayden Gallagher but star pairing, they are so perfect, she’s the light to his dark.
I’m happy that AnneMarie is finally being accepted too

4.0 out of 5 stars Mafia romance not to be missed!
Reviewed in Australia on August 24, 2022

Cherished Union is the eighth book in Brooke Summers Made series. While these books are technically stand-alones, told in dual pov, with the interwoven main characters and family dynamics I highly recommended starting from book one.

Cherished Union sees the arranged marriage of Hayden Gallagher and Adelina Gallo. Hayden is very much a part of the family business. He’s an Underboss and completely ruthless, though also plagued by guilt from past actions. Delicate Ade brings out his fiercely protective side and when these two come together fireworks will fly.

“Never show fear, dove,” he whispers. “And you are beautiful without even trying. Never let anyone tell you otherwise.”

This is a story about the lengths Hayden and Ade will go to while protecting their family. It is the perfect blend of violence, revenge, heartbreak and romance. If you love Mafia romance, pick up Brooke Summers made series today. And if you don’t, read it anyway. These books are a hidden gem not to be missed. The Gallagher family is amazing!

Hayden is still beating himself up for everything that has happened in the past. Then he has his own up coming nuptials to go through with.

Adeline has always known she would have an arranged marriage. She knows Hayden has reputation, but nothing can be as bad as things have been.

Can these two troubled characters find happiness?

This story was packed with action and suspense. I loved every minute! I was so pleased Hayden’s story, followed Jade’s, especially after the ending of the previous book.

I really loved this story about Hayden and Addie, my only one regret was Vivi. This upset me knowing what happens to her. Loved the connection with all the families and how very close they are. Couldn’t ask for better stories. Pissed now I’ve got to wait till December for Alessio and Gabby’s story lol. Keep them coming Brooke and while your writing don’t forget the Conti family 🥰
