Mercy

Y'all... I have never... and I mean never ... read a book like this one. It shocked me at how much I enjoyed this one. I really don't know what else to say. I was shocked. I cried. I was all lovey dovey. Most importantly - there was NO third act breakup.

Holy crap. This one... just ... wow.

Bravo Sara Cate. Bravo.

I keep saying I don't know how I can finish the series, but each book seems to get better than the last. Not sure how you can beat this one though.

 I was intrigued by Maggie being a Domme, but I wasn't sure if I could enjoy Beau, the main male character. But I shouldn't doubted Sara Cate work of art in making character development. it was a good book. You have to read the other's book before you read this one.

4.5 stars
As with every installment of this series, I was sucked in at the get. Sara Cate just knows how to write compelling relationships. Mercy is different for me because I've never read a Domme/male sub story before but it definitely won't be my last.

i was nervous to read this one because i didn't like beau in book one, but i honestly really enjoyed it. maggie is a badass, of course! i really loved seeing this side of beau and the interactions with his dad! 

As much as I love this series as a whole, this one just didn't stand up against the others. I still enjoyed it but Maggie and Beau's dynamic just didn't work as much for me. I get that he's a brat but to still be a dick by 60% was a bit much and he spat down her throat?! WTAF! Even I was icked by that bit and nothing ever gets to me.

I think I know who the last 2 books are going to be about and I'm not sure how they will fit with these 4 as I suspect they will be about people outside the 4 owners, but I'll still read them as I love Sara Cate's writing.

I'm happy to get Maggie's perspective! She was such a secret the entire series so I'm happy to finally hear from her.

I'm glad beau got a happy ending. He was a jerk to Charlie so I wasn't necessarily rooting for him, but I glad we got that closure for him.

There were at least three times where I considered DNFing the book. There were at least 100 times where I had to put down the book and walk away. I'm not exaggerating. There were moments I picked it up, read a sentence, put it down and walked away.

I get that this is Maggie's book and yes, I agree, it should have been her on the cover, but also Drake is on the cover of Book 3 when it should have been Hunter if we are following the owners.

I didn't like Maggie and I didn't like Beau. No growth in either of the characters. It felt disjointed the entire time. There were pockets of “I should feel something at this moment. This moment is momentous.” Yet whatever came before or after that moment never allowed that moment to be authentic. The epilogue saved it from being a 2 star.

I'm good.
