These books are pure smut.
Please make sure you have book three ready, or you will be infuriated (Warning) MMM++
Four Mercenaries, Tank, Pyro, Boar and Drake. These guys take on the jobs that others shy away from, and their main targets are child traffickers, the scum of the earth.
Clover seems to have made sure he’s wanted by all of his protectors, each bringing something different to the table.
Such great characters, and I love how Clover adapts to his surroundings and knows how to persuade older men to get his way, let’s just say daddy/boy. The sex is hot hot hot.
The narration was first class, great character voices, and it sold the story to me.
Plus, as always, hot sex scenes are throughout the book. Have I said that before… But sorry you don’t get a HEA in this book.

The Four Mercenaries series continues with Their Obsession, the dramatic sequel to Their Bounty. The first book in this series definitely should be read first otherwise there might be some confusion. Like Their Bounty, Their Obsession was full of action, hot sex, and sweet, tender moments between five very different men. There were some difficult moments, but I loved seeing Clover’s grit and determination, even in the face of the unthinkable. Unlike Their Bounty, Their Obsession ends with a cliffhanger and I had to immediately start the next book. Although I usually don’t like cliffhangers, the fact that I could jump right into the next book made it okay, plus, this book was so well written and addictive I could hardly put it down.
4.75 stars
Heat Level: 3.5 (dubious content, violence and a hell of a cliffhanger!)
Narration: 5
OM*G! Insane, Intense, Intriguing and a lethal cliffhanger to boot!
This book sort of carried on from bok one in terms of the characters and a surprise continuation of the dangers from book one.
I loved seeing how all the characters have adapted to their new normal and adapted to Clover’s presence. I feel this book contained a lot of growth and eventuated in a lot more backstory to some of the Mercenaries, especially the mysterious Drake.
I felt this book was more graphically (and sexually, be warned) violent than book one and contains some very dark, dubious and serious issues. I feel Kat and Ange approached all these events really well and didn’t shy away from the truth and harsh realities of this dark and dangerous world. While there are some very challenging scenes in this book I felt it fits perfectly within the story and I am interested to see the repercussions, reality, and truths of what will happen to ALL these characters next.
This is as insense and suspenseful listen I COULD NOT PUT DOWN and with it ending on aa disastrous cliffhanger I was so glad to have book three ready to go and jumped straight in!
Thanks for reading! For great stories, reviews and more please visit http://blog.bookstattoosandtea.com !
Well, it does not happen often that I am at a loss of what to say. I really thought there wasn’t much that could surprise me after part 1 of this series. That the next books will be more of the same. And how happy I am to have been wrong!
Such a wonderful job and such a skill to keep reader’s attention at full speed across more than one book! So awesome and so worth reading! 🙂
Oh wow…. I was completely unprepared for this. I need book 3 ASAP! Clover and his lovers go through hell and I need to see them pick up the pieces and come out of all this healed and happy. Blissfully happy.
This was a phenomenal read! It starts out steamy and sweet, with several beautiful tender moments… but then the dark clouds start to gather and everything goes so incredibly dark for all the MC’s, though Drake, Clover and Pyro are put through the wringer the most. The writing was incredible, the emotions clear and intense and I just fell for these characters all over again, though it broke my heart to see the level of suffering they went through.
This was an amazing read, if not an easy one. I want me some happy tears in the follow-up.
Warning 1: This is a series that needs to be read in order and this one ends in a cliffhanger:
Warning 2: There is graphic sex and on page violence.
I really enjoyed the first book Thier Bounty and this one begins expounding on their relationship, gives us a lot more of Drake which I truly loved and lots of BDSM and sex. LOTS of sex. For me, the first nearly half was mostly sex and pretty slow, but then they go on a mission after some arguing about Clover going then the action picks up. There are many twists and turns, the action is page-turning leading us to a breathtaking cliffhanger. My heart clenched and I want the next book now, please!
If you don’t mind violence, like lots of sex, BDSM, Assassins, MM reverse harem, MMMMM, Daddy Kink, Threesomes, shibari, action, twists and turns, and a cliffhanger then you will love this book! If you have not read book one go grab it while waiting for Book Three!
In the second book, Clover has become an indispensable part of the mercernary group. He is Tank’s boy, Boar’s romantic boyfriend, Pyro’s partner in sexy times, and more importantly, Drake’s lover. Not only does Clover get to be worshipped and pampered by his four lovers, he is also working hard to be a true partner to the crew. The story is full of Clover’s sexy escapades, but there’s more character development than in the first book, as we get to know more about the mercenaries’ pasts, and why Clover fulfills them in their individual way, although I still don’t necessarily believe that Pyro is truly in love with Clover, but is simply enchanted by his albinism, and happy that Clover makes Boar happy. There’s also a lot of action, like watching an old fashion thriller where the good guys kill the bad guys with no compunctions. It finishes off with a whopper of a cliffhanger, and I’m looking forward to the conclusion
ARC for Review
This author did a wonderful job continuing the story of Clover, Pyro, Drake, Boar, and Tank. It’s a little bit dark and a little bit bloody, but a whole lotta awesome! We get to learn more about all the guys in this book. Some issues come to light during this story within the group and some bad things happen. I really liked the interactions between the 4 guys and Clover. I was really happy to see that Clover got his vengence. The story flowed really well and sets up the last book to hopefully resolved everything. The end broke my heart and I am really counting on the author to put it back together in the next book.
This was my first book from this author. I haven’t read the first in this series but I do get the dynamic of this group of men. It is definitely a pager turner as I got caught up in their story. So much evil, so much anger and need for revenge. Also a lot of love is obvious among them all.
I didn’t know it would be a cliffhanger just when the drama hit one of its highest peaks but it was still a great read.
I was given an ARC for my honest review.
The adventure continues
4.5
Four Mercenaries – Book 2 – Their Obsession – a GHR is as good, if not better than book 1, Their Bounty! Seriously!
Clover has come into his own and it is a pleasure seeing him flourish and making it work , in their special way , with Tank, Pyro, Boar and Drake.
It was entertaining reading this book. I enjoyed the drama, adventure , the heat and the low angst of the story. And of course, I really loved the HOT heroes and their sexy times.
This book is not a standalone, you need to read book 1.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
When a mission goes wrong and their pasts are in the open, decisions need to be taken and life to be saved.
Their obsession is book 2 in the Four Mercenaries series.
OMG, OMG, OMG This book killed me…
Clover and the guys are still in their honey moon phase 1 year after their meeting. They train, have romantic moments and crazy nights. They have reach a good equilibrium between them, until Clover wants to go on missions with them, and Tank, his daddy, refuses. Tank knows that Clover isn’t ready, he’s also scare for his life. But while Tank is in an overprotective mood, Drake supports Clover and it creates tension between them. Everything becomes challenging between them, until a mission goes wrong and They realize Clover wasn’t done with his past, worst, they realize that Drake and Clo have the same monster after them.
OMG, OMG, OMG This book killed me…The end made me scream and I almost destroy my kindle against a wall.
This book is darker than the first one, more somber with a tense atmosphere during my entire read. I was completely hooked in the story, I was captivated and scared. We learned more about their past, their dynamics in their relationship all together. I was completely enthralled in the book, feeling their fears and love. I cried for them with big fat tears.
I need to warn you: Reading this book can give you high blood pressure, temporal disorientation until the end of book…then you will realize hours of your day has gone without you noticing, this book can make you have strong emotions. This book and this series are highly addictive.
Now that you are warn, go jump in this story you won’t want to finish it.
This is an RH MM theme series and I love Clover and his mens book 2 continues this adventure and discovery. I love the connection between the characters. Plot to the story kept me reading and the love scene are hot.
Their Obsession is the second book in the Four Mercenaries series and you really need to read Theit Bounty in order to understand the relationship between the five men and how they feel for each other. It’s amazing how strongly and deeply Boar,Pyro,Drake and Tank care for Clover,how much of a glue he’s become for the group.
The four mercenaries all cherish Clover and want to protect him and that’s why they have different opinions when the younger man wants to join them on a mission. And it’s exactly going on this mission that marks the beginning of their troubles and ruin. Not only someone is still looking for Clover but ,because the men don’t talk to each other doubts,insecurities and hurt feelings lead to rash decisions. The tight knit group gets separated and the result is disaster.
Of course, you can’t have a K.A. Merikan book without scorching hot sex and exciting action scenes. But to me,Their Obsession was a heart wrenching experience. I’ve felt as my own every strong emotion the characters have lived through: love,hate,rage,sadness or despair. By the time I’ve reached The End I was a breathless, scared and crying mess.
Can’t wait for the next book and I’ll be on pins and needles until it’s published.
