“At His Mercy” de S.S. Richards es el primer libro perteneciente a la serie “Beasts In The Dark”. Es un romance dark con muchísimos momentos sensuales que te dejaran con la boca abierta. Además, la intriga está asegurada y no querrás dejar de leer.

Ella es sobrina de su mayor enemigo, del hombre que le robo la felicidad, pero será incapaz de culparla por ello.
Mi querida S.S. Richards se ha pasado al lado Dark con un libro que devoré en nada. Este libro muestra a unos personajes que pueden parecer que son diferentes, pero hay muchas cosas que los unen, y al ser dark, también hay sangre derramada.
La vida de Elena ha sido un infierno y cuando cree que ha salido de ello, va directa a otro mayor, aunque habrá un cambio de planes. Y con ello Maksim y Elena se encontrarán, pero el comienzo va a ser muy complicado, aunque la química y la pasión surgirá en ellos. Además de unas escenas muy hot que te dejan con buen sabor de boca.
“Voy a follarte hasta que olvides tu pasado y a cualquier hombre que haya intentado complacerte. Eres mía y te usaré cuándo, dónde y cómo decida”.
También la confianza que tiene Elena y s es muy buena, y no sentirse sola y perdida en esa casa donde no todos la ve con buenos ojos. Aunque sinceramente, yo solo quería que Maksim, alfa, protector y descarado, se diera cuenta de cómo es en realidad Elena no temiera que pudiera huir.
“Así es. Esta es tu última advertencia, lo dije antes y lo diré de nuevo. Mientras yo viva, nadie te tocará. ¿Comprensible?
Ahora me he quedado con unas ganas enormes de saber lo que pasará con ellos, y como su unión hará que derriben a su enemigo común. ¡Cuánta intriga!

“At His Mercy” by S.S. Richards is the first book in the series “Beasts In The Dark”. It’s a dark romance with many sensual moments that will leave you breathless. Besides, the intrigue is guaranteed, and you won’t want to stop reading.
Elena Romano niece of Leonardo Romano’s head of the Italian mafia is sold to an unknown man. At last, she can leave the place where she is living a nightmare, but in the exchange Maksim Pavlov, Russian Mafia Don will get in the middle taking Elena with her and confining her in her fortress. She is the niece of her greatest enemy, the man who stole her happiness but will be unable to blame her for it.
My dear S.S. Richards has written a dark book that I devoured so fast. This book shows some characters that may seem different, but many things unite them, and being dark, there is also blood spilled.
Elena’s life has been hell, and when she thinks she’s out of it, she goes straight to a bigger one, although there will be a change of plans. And with that, Maksim and Elena will meet, but the beginning is going to be very complicated, although chemistry and passion will arise in them. In addition to some very hot scenes that leave you with a pleasant sensation.
“I’m going to fuck you until you forget your past and any man who’s ever tried to pleasure you. You are mine and I Will use you when, where, and how I decide”
Also, the confidence that Elena and s have is very strong, and not to feel alone and lost in that house where not everyone sees her with good eyes. Although honestly, I just wanted Maksim, alpha, protector and shameless, to realize what Elena is like and not be afraid that she might run away.
“That’s right. This is your final warning, I said it before and I’ll say it again. As long as I’m alive, no one Will ever touch you. Understandable?
Now, I have a huge desire to know what will happen to them, and how their union will bring down their common enemy. How intriguing!

I love everything S.S. Richards writes and this one was no different.
It is a darker story for her, nothing like her other books but it isn’t too dark. I am normally not a dark romance reader but I like some and this one just was added to my top 5 dark romance reads!
The storyline with Elena and Maksim got me hooked right away. With everything in Elena’s past and who her family is and what they do and have done to people and to her just broke me.
Then when Maksim gets into the picture I was worried how it was gonna turn out. But I was surprised with how he turned out. I loved how he was with her and how he took to her so fast.
Everything about this book was just amazing but it ends in a cliffy and I am not too excited about having to wait but I will!!

This is a wonderful dark, intense, and a mafia romance read. It kept my interest and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout this story. I enjoyed reading about Maksim and Elena. It’s a well written story. I enjoyed the storyline. I look forward to the next book in the series.
I read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are of my own.
S.S Richards brings us a darker romance with At His Mercy. The author had me hooked from the opening pages. Elena and Maksim are hot together. Both with darkness in their veins they found a connection that no one but them understood. This is a dark, intense and sexy read that will have you devouring the pages. S.S Richards nailed the mafia suspense dark romance read with this one. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
Wow, this book was an intense read! Elena is trapped in the Mafia world with no way out. Being kidnapped by Maskim (part of the Russian Mafia) as he knows that she is the niece of his sworn enemy, you know that he isn’t going to let her go. Having lived in a world where she is treated like a princess, Elena’s world is thrust upside down and she will have to fight the passion that she feels for Maskim whilst trying to save herself.
This was a very exciting read from a new author. The words just seemed to flow off the page and I enjoyed the interaction between Elena and Maskim. Elena is not as sweet as she would like everyone to think but she is naive, especially when it comes to her Uncle and what he has done and what he does to her. She has some really snarky moments throughout the book which is good to see and she isn’t a complete doormat which I was worried about when I first started reading.
Maskim on the other hand is a purely dominant male, after all, he is part of the Russian Mafia and heaven help anyone who gets on his bad side. There was something very likeable about him as a character even though he is dark and brooding. You can see his opinion of Elena change and the steamy scenes between them are really good.
If you like a good Mafia romance with some darker elements and sexy scenes with great characters then this is one for you!
ARC received for a fair and honest review.

This book is a lot darker than I’m used to from S. S. Richards, but it was well written and captured my attention from the first page. I do love a great dark romance, and the author did amazingly by creating such alluring characters. Elena, though a prisoner is still fierce and Maksim, may be an alpha male, but his softness shows through with Elena. Both, Elena and Maksim have something in common, a dark side they try to keep hidden, but they see it within each other.
“Just like you said before, we are beasts, beasts in the dark.”
I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next instalment to the Beast In The Dark Series. If you enjoy dark romances, I highly recommend reading this MUST read romance. At His Mercy by S.S. Richards will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!
