Blake Sullivan’s perfect life is imploding. His father threw his mother out of the house, and now they’re going through a nasty divorce while the whole town watches.Since I’ve been away at college, I had no idea that my brother Aric was the one responsible for destroying Blake’s family. Or that Blake would stop at nothing to get back at Aric. And I never thought that I would be used as a pawn in … would be used as a pawn in Blake’s revenge, not until it’s too late.
Now I have to make an impossible decision, one that will change everything.
I’ll never forget what Blake did to me; and no matter how much he begs, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive him.

Good romance well written with moving characters, young and who have to face a situation that they had not anticipated.
Blake is 18 years old when he sleeps with Caroline, the older sister of his former best friend Aric, who had slept with Blake’s mother. This relationship looks like revenge in the eyes of Aric, then Caroline, but Blake has always winged Caroline. Because of this impression of betrayal, Caroline leaves, but a few months later, she discovers that she is pregnant and she must decide what to do. Should she tell Blake who tries to contact her every day and whom she rejects? Should she have an abortion, have the child adopted, keep him.
The story tells of the whole emotional journey that Caroline and Blake go through in a few months.

We’re back at Mercy Academy again, and it’s Blake’s story. He’s dealing with the fallout of his parents divorce (which was quite nasty), the betrayal and loss of one of his best friends, and a bit of loneliness. Caroline, Aric’s sister, is having a tough time with her first semester at college, so she decides to come home for a weekend to talk to her parents. When she gets home, she finds quite a few changes, and decides to accept an invite to Blake’s yearly birthday/Halloween party to forget about things for a bit. That night, for many reasons, was life changing for Blake & Caroline. This was definitely a roller coaster ride of emotions. You definitely feel them all while reading this, and you will totally fall for Blake . You just can’t help you. You have the feels for Caroline, but the for Blake. Loved it! Can’t wait for Royal’s book!
This is the 2nd novel in this amazing series and is Blake and Caroline’s story. After a betrayal which shook up his whole family, Blake is set on revenge, and who better than Caroline to act it on. This is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster, thrilling and with twists as well as being a heart-warming read. This talented author had certainly pulled out all the stops in penning this fantastic series, and I cannot wait to read #3. I highly recommend for all readers.
Remember this is book two in the series, to enjoy the book even more I highly recommend reading the first! This one is Blake’s story and Caroline’s. The girl he’s crushed on since middle school. Caroline is also his ex best friend’s older sister. Blake’s family is in crumbles since his mother’s affair with his best friend. It’s a mess and it’s about to get messier. Lots of angst but with what these too are dealing with it’s expected. This is a fantastic book. A realistic love story with a feel good hea!

Oh wow what an unexpected birthday present Blake gets from Caroline Aric’s older sister who we only saw a little bit in Beg Your Mercy & here the main timescale is where its soon after the explosion of the Aric & Collette situation, though Caroline has no clue about it.
But things blow up after Aric shows up in Blake’s room with the 2 of them naked & then they both feel like they only slept together in payback.
So we see what happens during Caroline’s first semester of College & Blake’s final Yr of high school & what a start/end of their education.
But the biggest education Is the opening up & realisation of how they feel, what is important & being true to themselves.
They’re a great couple who again seem older than they are. A great filling of commitment & love
Looking forward in reading ‘Have Mercy’ Royal & Hannah’s story…
After reading the first installment of this series Beg For Mercy, I couldn’t wait for the release of Blake’s story.
At the end of Beg For Mercy, Blake’s happy family life implodes and Crave Your Mercy takes us on the journey of the aftermath of that. His feud with Aric, his father, his mother and the girl he was saving himself for, Caroline, Aric’s big sister – nothing could go wrong there, right??
This is a great book and I can’t wait for Royal’s story.
Absolutely loving this series, and all the surrounding characters! After reading book 1 I really felt for Blake and was excited he was getting his story out there. I had no clue the explosive chemistry he and our heroine would have! This book is sweet, sexy, raw, and will hit you in the feels!
Blake and Caroline are extremely different characters with a lot of baggage and sadness surrounding them. Blake is still shook from his friends betrayal, and really feeling the brunt of his shattered family. Caroline is having a harder time than imagined in college and comes home to even more burdens. They find comfort in each other and get way more than they bargained for.
I love the siblings best friend trope and really enjoyed Blake’s longing for Caroline and his chapters pov. His character although young, was also selfless and I feel wore his heart on his sleeve while also keeping some truths held close.
Caroline’s development was clear as day throughout the book and she really turned her attitude and outlook around.
Both of them were faced with an extreme challenge and decisions that I felt so heavily, it was heart wrenching but refreshing to read about such vulnerabilities and real.life struggles.
Blake is just…swoon! I absolutely adored him and his story so much!!
Looking so forward to book 3 and more of these two and our other faves from Mercy Academy.
Lane Hart is amazing and really knows how to pack a punch! This is the second book in the series and just as fantastical as the 1st. NOT that I would expect anything less from her. I am exhausted from the emotional roller coaster but would not have it any other way. Grab this series, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m simply overwhelmed my brain circuits are on the Verge of overloading I feel like I’ve been hit with a really big Boomerang.
This is one emotional driven book from one end of the spectrum to the other.
I about died laughing, crying and feeling sorry for Blake in the first chapter.
Life is a messy journey I know it may seem as if I don’t like this book at all but
that’s the furthest from truth I adore this one I just can’t figure out which t.v show this menagerie would make their t.v
Debut on Dr. Phil or Jerry Springer.
Okay I have to say this book was hard to read. I found both characters hard to love. Caroline and Blake make so many mistakes through this book. Miscommunication and lies make them unable to start the life they were meant to have. But even though I found the characters hard to love the story was amazing. You don’t always have to love the characters to live the book. They do eventually redeem themselves but it takes till the very end for it to finally happen. Good thing Lane is amazing author because they way she writes keeps to captivated till the very end. I found it pretty hard to put this book down once I started. It’s a train wreck but a train wreck that I loved to read! Highly recommend this book and the first book in the series if you haven’t read it.

Crave Your Mercy is a great story of revenge, love, healing, and friendship. The characters are fun and intriguing while also being lovable. Lane Hart has done it again!
If you haven’t read the first book you really should stop and read that first.
This book picks up where that one left off with the aftermath of Aric and Collette’s affair being discovered. And wow, did things get heated!
Caroline, Aric’s sister, has always been a secret crush for Blake. When she comes home for a weekend to talk to her parents about her college trouble, their paths cross and their lives will never be the same!
I loved the look into the past with Blake & Caroline! I felt bad for both Blake and Caroline for what that had each been dealing with. My heart absolutely broke with some of Blake’s thoughts about how his parents felt about him.
This was such a sensitive subject and it was handled beautifully and so well written! I couldn’t be happier with how this story ended!

I loved reading Caroline and Blake’s story. Caroline is Aric’s older sister, Blake and Aric used to be best friends until Aric had an affair with Blake’s mother, his father found out and Blake’s life drastically changed! Things get really interesting at Blake’s annual Halloween party! This is a very interesting book, I have never read one like it before, a definite must read. I received an arc for an honest review!
Crave Your Mercy by Lane Hart is about an intriguing and dramatic romance between Caroline and Blake filled lots of twists and turns. Crave Your Mercy is the continuation of Beg For Mercy and should be read after. I enjoyed reading this book and looking forward to reading Have Mercy.

This is another intense and compelling read in this highly enjoyable series. Blake and Caroline’s book is a gripping blend of raw emotions, tension, angst, drama, betrayals, twists and steam. This couple really faces a lot of challenges and saying that their lives and relationship are complicated is quite honestly, a gross understatement.
I devoured this book in no time , this is Blake and Caroline’s story . it’s an emotional read that drags you into their journey in life from the beginning with the drama , family feuds , unexpected surprises , teenage love , angst and a great epilogue with an HEA that had tears in my eyes when I read it , and it was nice to catch up with the rest of the gang of Aric , Maddie and Royal(can’t wait to read his and Hannah’s story). I would highly recommend this book to everybody as it’s a fabulous read from Lane

Choices – Is this a mistake?
Excellent story! A difficult choice for 2 teens (Blake & Caroline) who have a first time night without protection. They need to make the best decision, with no regrets & what will turn out to be the ultimate heart-wrenching decision once they are firm on their final option. It will affect both of their lives no matter what the end result will be.
Caroline feels she’ll be a rotten mother & doesn’t want to ruin a young man’s life. It’s not like they love each other & it does look like a plot for the ultimate revenge & she’s the victim.
How much can these two sacrifice? Can they overcome the pressures from their parents on what is the right thing to do? Will these two teens try to find a HEA or accept their one-nighter gift & let him go to parents who could give him more?

I was expecting this book to be just as good as the first one because of all the drama, but that wasn’t the case. I really enjoy Lane Hart books, but this one I was having trouble reading to the end. My main issue was not being able to connect with either Blake or Caroline. I found them both way too childish. I will say they did mature a lot by the end of the book.

I absolutely really enjoyed this book. There were tears, laughs and more happy tears. Caroline was a student at Mercy H.S. when her heart was broken. Her brothers best friend was there to help talk it out. Blake has always liked Caroline but being his best friends sister you just don’t go there, so he just stayed friends with her. Caroline goes to college & while there her grades are horrible so she goes home, while there she is invited to a Birthday party for Blake. They enjoy each others company and one thing led to another & they end up sleeping together. Blake is thrilled that it was with the girl he has liked forever. Caroline goes back to school only to find out she is PREGNANT! Blake finds out but not by her but by her brother of all people. So many things happened that had their friendship strained. (Need to read to find out what happened). All their parents are not on board with the decision they decided on but its their baby & their choice. Once she goes into labor & has to have an emergency C-Section, everything changes. Both Blake & Caroline decide what’s best for their baby. Now they have decided that they need to decided about their future.
