Aric Prince is an All-American high school football star with a body built like a Greek god and hair so beautiful he could sell shampoo by the boatloads.The only problem is that Aric’s also a rich, arrogant, and gigantic prick. Nothing but filth and insults come out of his smirking mouth, constantly reminding me that poor, trailer park trash girls like myself don’t belong in his pretentious … pretentious academy.
Aric and his best friends all think they’re untouchable.
But the cocky bastard is finally going down this year.
I’ve hit the motherload of blackmail on the jerk, pun intended, and I can’t wait to give him exactly what he deserves.
Aric Prince’s reign at the academy is coming to an end.
Before I’m done with him, he’ll be on his knees, begging for mercy.
WHILE BEG FOR MERCY IS A HIGH SCHOOL BULLY ROMANCE, IT CONTAINS DARK THEMES, EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENT, AND GRAPHIC LANGUAGE THAT IS INTENDED FOR MATURE READERS.

Lane does it again! I’ve read everything she has written and I swear they keep getting better and better.
This book is the first in this series and I have to say it was one of the best books I’ve read all year.
Maddie and Aric are so opposite they might as well be from other planets. There story starts with a bet. And in their senior year everything changes. Blackmail, secrets, unlikely friendships, lust and love make up this epic love story. Maddie is bada** and has spend years being selfless. Aric figures out there is more to life then, meaningless relationships, money and football. These two will make your heart melt! So if you read this review you can tell I highly recommend this book! I can’t wait for Blake’s story next!

This was a good read but this story needs editing, and there were also some repetitive parts that I think could be taken out. There were some things I disliked about this story but there was a lot of it that I enjoyed. The flow of the story was good and I enjoyed the characters a lot. I do wish that before the story ended that we had some type of update on Maddie’ parents. Aric and Maddie’s story left me wanting to read Royal and Blake’s story. I’m kind of hoping there is more of Royal and Hannah and I want Blake to find his HEA. I can’t lie, the scene between Blake’s parent was hilarious and had me laughing out loud. This story was funny, steamy and full of great characters, and I’m looking forward to the next book in this series.
Oh, the SCANDAL!
L.A. Hart must have loved her main character, Aric Prince, especially because it’s only those characters that writers drop to really low points that they want to redeem the most. And boy, Aric is low.
What happens when your nemesis blackmails you with evidence of your affair with an older woman? Well, you find yourself at the beck and call of two controlling women and not just one. Aric’s normal demeanor of aloof arrogance isn’t saving him from this mess, and soon he doesn’t even want to be saved.
When you have no control over things in your life, finding yourself controlling someone else is heady. Maddie Collins is brutal, and most people at her school think she’s either untouchable or, according to rumors, likes being touched. The truth is, she’s got enough on her plate that nothing at school other than her grades matters.
Oh, lawdy… Aric is a dirty mouthed prick. Maddie is a ball-busting force of nature. The two together are magic.
Beg For Mercy is one of my favorite reads of the year so far.
Maddie goes to a prestigious high school. She isn’t like the other girls who are privileged and spoiled. Her family is not rich like everyone else. Maddie and Aric have always disliked each other. Aric has always acted like he couldn’t stand Maddie so Maddie hasn’t liked Aric either. But when Maddie finds out a secret about Aric, she intends to use this to her advantage. Yet things aren’t so cut and dried and has Maddie rethinking her plans. Revenge isn’t working out like she thought it would as she gets to know Aric. Great start to this series and looking forward to others.

Hard to stop reading 5 stars – It’s a story that will keep you intrigued and interested to read in one sitting. I really like the plot, the development of the characters, the romance. Aric and Maddie are explosive. I do feel though that the end was tied up too easily but all in all, I can’t wait to read the next book.
This is the 1st in a new series and what a fantastic introduction Aric and Maddie’s tale is. Aric has a privileged life while Maddie is from the wrong side of the tracks. These two have a hate / love relationship, and when Maddie discovers a secret thing change. This is an awesome story which is dark, emotional, and with secrets which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all lovers of a bully romance.
I recieved this book for Free to Give My True & Honest Review
This is my first book by Lane Hart as L. A. Hart and its as great as her books as Lane Hart.
I felt like the 2 main characters Maddie & Aric are about 10 yrs older than they are here.
They are 18 yrs old seniors who first met on Maddie’s 1st day in her new school Mercy where she’s gotten a scholarship to attend this first class Academy where all the well off students attends.
But its where Aric has been put in to take her around school during at least her first day but heck they do seem to clash him through his bias view of the lower class students & she of the upper class students who look down at her.
Then its not until we see how its not until their final yr when things take a turn around & we see how things change between them after Maddie catches Aric with someone whom he shouldn’t be with & here it felt a little bit of the way ‘Gray’ from FSOG started his first relationship.
This is so heart warming, saddening, loving & a little humor areas.
Great Beautiful HEA
This is the first book i have read from this author, and i fell in love! Its a faster paced book, it is a bully book, but its quite different than many others. Theres only slight bullying, and pretty light reading. I loved the main character maddie! She is such a strong caring person, who deals with more responsibilities than most adults. I loved the funny little things she blackmails the male character with. I am so excited to read the next book, and get a closer look at blake Sullivan. Great read
Enemies to lovers is what Maddie & Aric is all about and boy was it good story! Maddie is strong but devious and it worked so well in this story line, loved how she blackmailed Aric. The secondary characters was great and looking forward for more Mercy Academy stories!
It’s past midnight and I couldn’t put this down, I devoured it. The book says in the introduction that it contains dark themes but isn’t a dark book. I totally a agree with this.
The book is funny, lighthearted, strong and solid but does cover unfortunate tragic yet realistic issues; 90% of the story is light and humorous so if your on the fence I suggest trying it out.
What I really loved about this story was that both the main characters were strong, alpha and intelligent. The author also didn’t rely on “plot tricks” to further the agnst. These characters has enough of that in their daily lives that it simply wasn’t needed.
I LOVE the female character and would really, really love more stories with her (or characters like her). This book has heart and humor and was awesome. I will be one clicking book two asap!!
Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Aric is a arrogant smart mouth bully to Maddie. Maddie is poor and lives in a caravan park and she also looks after her siblings. The too and throw between them is intense.

Firstly i want to say that i wasn’t looking fwd to reading this book even though i love the authors books as the theme didnt appeal to me. Bullying is a major problem in my home as both my son and one of my twin daughters have had to live with the constant bullying at school and its heartbreaking to see your children being rundown and in tears.
Buttttt…..i really enjoyed this book as the female character let all the insults and degradation make her a stronger, sassier woman .
Aric Prince is the high school football star, rich, arrogant, popular, cocky and spoilt….. he thought he was untouchable….but Maddie put him in his place and now he finds himself at her mercy….

It’s amazing what a book can do to you. I mean, it can put you into tears, a fit of rage or smile like a lunatic. It’s amazing how our mind works.
And all of this is thanks to our amazing authors.
L.A. Hart, aka Lane Hart, started a new series and I know that you’ll love it.
I’ve been reading her books for a while now and I can’t get enough.
Her writing is sweet and beautiful, intense and emotional, hot and so much more in between.
Just tell her what you like and she’ll make it happen.
Beg For Mercy is her first release under this new name and it’s the first book from the Mercy Academy series.
This new book explores the lives of Aric and Maddie.
Aric is a high school star, cocky that doesn’t have a care in the world. He’s rich, arrogant and a jerk.
Maddie is fed up with being treated the way she is. She’s poor but she needs to take care of her brothers. She works hard and just wants to graduate. But when some pricks, mainly Aric, start mentality abusing her she realized that she had to do something.
Oh my goodness… This book nailed it… Jesus…
Superb plot, very well written, super engaging and intense. It was a pleasure to read it and I want more.
Once I started this book I simply couldn’t put it down.
It was one thing after the other and I just wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen.
This book presented us with betrayal, abuse, drama, secrets as well as sacrifice, love, loyalty and unconditional love.
Here we have a huge example of what someone can submit himself to provide for the ones you love
It was an amazing experience that made me see a few things in a new way.
And… We have some freaking awesome hot stuff. Just have a look at it.
L A. Hart, you nailed it. This book was the most perfect to start what I know will be a huge success.
Please don’t let me wait too long to read Blake’s story…I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Great story. Started out a little slow, but oh, boy did it get going. We have Maddy who lives in a trailer with her brother and sister. Their parents aren’t any help. She’s raising them on her own. She received a scholarship to a rich school. Life is hard. Aric runs the School and is the top football player. His friends Blake and Royal run everything. Aric and Maddy meet the first day of school and have a running hate relationship. I don’t want to say to much an ruin the story so I’ll stop now. Remember it brings in a lot of emotions and truths.

Aric rules the school and never lets Maddie forget where she came from. She is determined to take him down. She finds out his darkest secret and the black mailing begins. There are twists and turns along the way. A good read!

This was a really great book. I don’t want to spoil or ruin anything so I am not going to dwell into the book. All I will say is that you have to read this book. This book was exceptionally written. It was written in a way that you felt what the characters were feeling and the connection between them was amazing.

Aric and Maddie were amazing! I absolutely loved how they showed that the line between love and hate can be blurred so easily. Aric is the most popular guy at Mercy Academy and Maddie was the new girl. They hate each other right from the start, or so it seems. I loved how these two were so hot and burned so badly(perfectly) for the other. Watching the blurring of that love/hate line was perfect. Maddie show Aric things he never could have guessed and Aric proved Maddie wrong on things she was so sure she was positive to be true. This was an amazing story and the heat was pure perfection!!
Beg for Mercy
A very emotional read with great characters and a very realistic story that takes you through the tears and troubles of the characters
