Mercy by Sara Cate

5.0

I don’t think any author will ever compare to Sara Cate’s masterful ability to drive a story with both character and plot. The character development and growth in this book is SUBLIME, and the underlying story that drives each character to their rightful place is enough to keep you turning the pages until you’re begging for sleep (but refuse to actually close your eyes until the final page is finished).

In book one of the Salacious Players Club, many readers were put off by Beau who was judgmental, rude, and the biggest brat I think I’ve met in a book thus far. And yet, this book – book four in the series – uses his brattiness to its benefit. Or should I say, to Maggie’s benefit.

A BDSM, domme/sub story filled with learning to appreciate and accept new things about yourself, this book is everything you didn’t know you needed. I loved every moment, never wanted to put it down, and I’m already aching for more, because that’s what Sara Cate does to me.

Tropes: secret relationship, lessons, domme/sub, best friend’s son, bdsm, fling to forever.

Favorite quote (okay, there are many, but you need to read it yourself and I refuse to spoil it for you!): “She makes it easier to be me.”
