Mercy (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

Along with the domme sub dynamics of Maggie and Beau and reading A Hot Spoiled Guy Crawling Inside His Lover and other D/s sessions, hot!, there were a few exercises that didn’t appeal to me as much. I can still appreciate his adherence to the pillars of BDSM: safe, sane, and consensual. I can also admit that Beau probably justified it and asked for it. The challenge is tougher than she first expected. Nash isn’t just wild, but he’s also dangerous. And Alistair is much more broken than he allows the world to believe. The three of them are all bound by grief. It is up to Zara to feed his hunger and heal Alistair’s pain. Sara Cate is a USA Today bestselling author who writes tantalizing, heartfelt stories about romance and forbidden desire. She lives in Arizona with her husband and kids. She enjoys reading, writing, and baking in her spare time.

It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought. She strives to be a forbidden and taboo romance author that dares to tell stories that have toe-curling heat and heart wrenching plot. She’s a soft spot for age gap, a ton of angst, and guys so bad that you just cannot help but love them. Her books have big feels and high stakes. The vulnerability he’s expressing, the pain, fear, anger, all of it, is somehow as beautiful as much as it is haunting.” MaggieSeeing her come out of her shell was so beautiful! I have had a similar experiences like Maggie had as a young person. I was cheering her on by the end of the book when she stood in her strength as a BOSS! Once she let her true Domme/Brat Tamer nature come through it was a BAB in the building! Male Main Character Sara Cate is a USA Today bestselling author that lives in Arizona with her husband, dog, and kids. She enjoys baking in her free time. Good thing we got that boring stuff outta the way. Beautifully, the story described Maggie and Beau’s growth and acceptance, embracing them and being comforted by the lifestyle, especially after Beau gave it up. I enjoyed reading about her insecurities in her new roles. How Maggie talked jazzed up. I liked and found Beau’s meanness about wanting to be punished for an acquittal and having someone else lead him because he was out of control amusing. I really enjoyed this book! I am probably the only one who read it without reading the rest of the series first, but this was the book I have been looking for! The premise of this book really drew me in and I haven’t read anything from Sara Cate before! Two people trying to figure out their kink together?! Perfection! Lines get crossed, and rules are broken. While on the island, there is nobody to tell them it’s wrong. Zara knows that she must choose before she succeeds in ripping this family apart. However she does belong to both of them. One has her heart, while the other has her body.

I recognize that a man can be submissive and not lose his manhood, but the same can be true that the hero can be alpha despite being a submissive brat. Their relationship had an air of father-son. Also, Maggie’s joy at the administration of pain and the key event of submission weren’t that appealing, maybe because of that, and to me they defied her alpha. Still, the self-education, research, and careful experimentation with character boundaries, especially Maggie’s, were well done. Plus the aftercare was sweet and so heartwarmingly reassuring. I do feel that there was still lots of plot in between all the spice! Always a win, IMO! Main Characters Female Main CharacterDespite her dark themes, Sara’s writing is always engaging and full of heart, making her a popular author among readers who love romance novels with lots of emotional depth.
