Gritty star-crossed lovers? You have no idea . . . ANGELI thought I knew bad times. The worst times. My dad murdered, the MC that’s rightfully mine ripped apart by corrupt rule. I didn’t know anything about true horror until I met a Tennessean girl named Mercy. Angel and Mercy, frigging ironic, right? You don’t know the half of it. Blood Legion MC is my legacy, and revenge against me is Mercy’s. … is my legacy, and revenge against me is Mercy’s. If you’re looking for gritty star-crossed lovers in the Crescent City, you’ve found it. Because there’s a damn good chance one of us won’t make it out of here alive.
MERCY
I’m at the mercy of my menfolk. Mercy . . . ironic, isn’t it? Because my cousin and my uncle show no mercy to me, despite my name. I’m used against my will. I’m beaten and worse when I don’t behave. I have no freedom, only one friend, and no chance of escape even though New Orleans is so vibrant I feel like I could touch the colors.
I fled the compound for just one night. I shouldn’t have. I met a biker called Angel—Angel. He’s blond as a seraph, but big and tall and full of sweet talk I’ve never heard before. Except he’s my family’s enemy.
Angel can’t be my only hope because my kin have vowed to take out him and the rest of the Blood Legion MC in one big Tenn-tucky blaze of glory.

I love MC books so it is not hard to have me hooked on them. However, this author really outdid herself with this book and I am totally hooked! I can not wait to get my hands on book 2 of this series.
This book has everything that a MC book should have….Grit, action, loyalty and don’t forget romance. I love to see big, bad MC presidents who have a heart of gold and has a tender side to them. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes MC books any what so ever!
Cry Mercy is what you want to do when you read this book! Ashley @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Angel & Mercy are the first couple of this new MC series from Rie Warren and I can’t wait to read more about all these Alpha males! The Blood Legion MC are bad boys who are going good who see to always be finding trouble! These men will grab you and not let you go! Cannot wait to see where this series goes and how these big bad men are taken down one at a time with the love of their lives!
Wow, Rie Warren outdone herself with this new series! These two were made for each other, Mercy surviving a lot of bad things being done to her is definitely my hero, She’s strong and fierce. The way Angel love Mercy through it all, broke me emotionally, this book is very intense but so good
Very gritty tale. Angel was so accepting of his feelings for Mercy despite the opposite sides they were on. Mercy had an inner strength when she had a chance to feel secure. With all the danger surrounding them, I loved how they made their way into each other’s heart.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
This is the first MC book I’ve read by this author, and I will definitely be reading more. I absolutely love the name of the MC- Blood Legion and I can’t wait for more. Angel is the president of the Blood Legion MC and he is a manwh*** only sleeping with a woman once and then moving on. It was fate that Mercy stumbled across Sol and he encouraged her to go into the bar. One look at Mercy and Angel was a goner, but Mercy has secrets that she feels will change the way Angel views her. The real problem standing in their way his Mercy’s white supremacist family and they are gunning for Angel’s MC. But their chemistry and attraction to each other is undeniable and it makes for some hot sexy times. Will Angel be able to overcome Mercy’s secrets and deception? I can’t wait to read Grace and Slade’s story!! I highly recommend this book!
With all the drama and awful things Mercy endured, both Angel and Mercy still found their way through. I loved how sweet he was with Mercy in the beginning with how he took care of her. Also, as usual, the characters are super hot. Every scene threatened to catch my kindle on fire. Great intro to the series!
5 Angel Filled Stars!!!
Rie Warren yes!! I’ve wanted Angel and the Blood Legion MC ever since she wrote Storm(Bad Boy Of Retribution MC). I was beyond stoked to learn she was answering my prayers.
Angel’s finally at his rightful place of his MC, as the president. With the help of his brother Storm they got rid of the trash. Now, the MC is on the right side of the law. They own their bar, opened up a tattoo shop and even paying taxes.
Angel is very happy with the way his life is and wouldn’t change it. Until he spots a beauty in the bar one night. She’s brighter than the rest and doesn’t dress up to impress or push up to any guy to get seen. Angel goes right to her and when she said her name was Mercy he knew they were meant to be. When she goes to run away he thinks he’ll never see her again. When she does comeback it’s to warn him their about to be attacked. Angel knows things will never be the same.
Mercy was able to skip out when her uncle wasn’t around. When Mercy went into the bar and bought a beer she was in awe. These bikers and hippies all getting along and hanging out, wasn’t like anything she’d ever seen before.
Mercy’s uncle, brother and the rest of their gang hate the Blood Legion MC. They’d killed her brothers years ago. When Mercy meets Angel she wants to know more of him. But, with her uncle she knows she can’t stay or else everybody is in trouble.
When Mercy returns home her uncle finds her and takes his frustrations out on her. Until he finds out where she went her uncle is going after the MC.
There’s only one thing Mercy knows she must do next. That’s to warn Angel and the MC. World War 3 erupts and Angel is there to protect what’s his.
Angel and the rest of the MC take Mercy into their family. Angel knows everything that Mercy’s been through and he loves her anyway. When Mercy is confronted by her uncle she knows her happiness is gone forever. Mercy is put into a loose loose position. Stay and her friends and the MC will suffer, go back her friends and the MC won’t be harmed. She knows she’ll loose either way but Mercy feels she must protect her old friends, new friends, Angel even if it kills her.
Angel doesn’t quite get it at first. But, when he figures out everything Angel knows he’ll save Mercy and not her go down alone without a fight. It just isn’t that easy. Through it all they have each other.
Next up is Slade and I’m jumping up and down. I’d been hoping for him since Bad Boys of Retribution and I’m stoked he joined Angel and his dark past will finally get told.
Rie does an amazing job at writing these bad boys and their leading ladies. Not many people can write these kind of stories and yet make you not want to put your book down. I can’t wait for the Slade and Grace.
This is the first book in a new series from this exceptional author, and OMG, I am totally blown away!! Angel and Mercy’s story is raw, gritty, heartbreaking, dark, and is filled with emotion, angst, revenge, danger, action, which all lead to an amazing and powerful read. I was totally engrossed throughout this addictive page turner, and cannot wait to read the next book in this phenomenal series. I recommend this authors’ work for all MC lovers.
Have mercy on me
For those of you who might have forgotten, we visited New Orleans with Storm and Blaize when they posed as a biker couple and we discovered Angel, who low and behold is Storm’s half brother.
Angel is now in charge of the Blood Legion MC as Prez, and it’s on the up and up……mostly, and he can also have just about any woman he sets his sights on. When he sees some fresh blood in the form of Mercy, he quickly shows an interest.
Mercy goes to the bar run by the Blood Legion MC, just trying to have a little freedom from her family. But it becomes clear quickly that her family is out for blood with regards the MC
Loved this story and quickly fell for Angel and Mercy who have an amazing chemistry together I look forward to Grace’s story next and finding out more about our mysterious Veep, Slade
Angel is the Blood Legion MC President. Taking care of his business and brothers is what he is all about! That is until he sees Mercy. Can he convince her that he wants more than one night? Even more, can he protect her from her family?
WOW! WOW!! WOW!!! I am speechless! Angel and Mercy’s story is dark and dangerous yet so sexy and sweet! I was hooked! The intensity and suspense is so high that you will be on the edge of your seat, needing to know what happens next! I loved every second! Fantastic MC read that will leave you breathless!
Cry Mercy is an action packed, fast moving story and is the perfect start to Rie Warren’s new Blood Legion MC!
Mercy and Angel come from different worlds yet they are immediately drawn to each other. Angel becomes her savior and protector and gives her a chance to escape the nightmare of a life she has been living.
In this book we are introduced to a whole cast of characters from this MC and I am so excited to see what else is coming in this series!
Do you like dark reads with hot MC guys sprinkled throughout? Then this is the book for you. I have to admit this author was one of the ones that made me fall in love with this genre so I might be a tad biased, though not really, cause good writing is good writing. RIGHT?!
Angel and Mercy have an intriguing story to tell. They also are very sexy together. WINK! Angel is an awesome bad boy with the perfect amount of heart. Mercy has experienced such darkness and abuse. Yes be forewarned but if you can take it, well it is SO GOOD. Mercy also has a beautiful heart that wants to protect those she cares about. People that could possibly be looked down upon by the rest of the world. My momma bear woke up a couple times, wanting to kick some booty. EEK!
Tough topics are explored. Addiction, rape, prostitution, and even white supremacy are touched upon. All this is set in New Orleans (LOVE LOVE LOVE it). UGH plan for angsty, emotional moments that have you on the edge of your seat. I feel agitated just thinking about it. YIKES!
Ok I need to stop talking about this book or spoilers will start coming out of my mouth. Where is a good book club when I need to discuss all? Happy Reading Everyone! XOXO
Holy hell, Cry Mercy is phenomenal! Yep, I said it, I mean it—phenomenal. It covers the usual MC basics:
Tough, gritty, hot AF leading man
Strong, smart, sexy leading lady
Loyal, take no s%^t MC members
Despicable misdeeds that must be avenged
Gah, I don’t even know where to start . . . so, I’m just going to keep it simple.
You need to meet Mercy and Angel. You need to read their story—their romance. Their rise from the ashes. Both have been dealing with horrible pasts—recovering from horrible situations. Situations that would leave others dead or crying in a corner. Situations where others would have zero humanity. Zero will to live. Zero ability to love.
I couldn’t read Cry Mercy fast enough. To see what the hell happened. To make sure that Mercy and Angel were okay—that they really made it. That their pasts weren’t going to get in the way of their future. Be prepared to laugh, cry, cheer, grimace, and swoon!
I thought Cry Mercy was a good story it wouldn’t be the first book that I’ve read by the author but by far this would be my favorite by Rie Warren and I’m excited to see what’s to come in the Blood Legion Mc series . Mercy is a fighter I admire how she refuses to be a victim again after what she has been through she didn’t let it define her , what can i say about Angle just wow he really come through for the heroine in so many ways he doesn’t try to take her fire away he ignites it even more . I can’t wait to read more by the author and this series .

What a Great start to an MC series. The author has given us a very well written, action packed, gritty story surrounding the cajun brotherhood who make up the Blood Legion MC from New Orleans.
The characters are so well written that you can’t help but feel their emotions during the best of times and the absolute worst. These men have been through hell and back and have seen the worst of it or so they think.
Mercy was raised in the Tenn Hills by her grandma. But when her grandma dies she is sent to live with her relatives where she is used and abused by her family. Mercy longs for just a little reprieve from their so called life. So she sneaks out and finds solace at a bar in New Orleans. Looking like a ragamuffin, she nurses the one beer she could afford, just enjoying the sounds and people living a normal life. Angel, the Prez of the Blood Legion MC, is enjoying a night in the club’s bar when he spots the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. He knows by looking at the state of her clothes and her mannerisms that she that’s she’s in trouble. They talk, the sparks fly, yet he knows nothing about her. She suddenly runs out of the bar saying she has to get back. To where, Angel has no clue. All he knows is her name is Mercy and their one kiss has rocked both their worlds.
From here the story really takes off. His need to find her and right her wrongs, her need to be near him yet stay away for his safety. This star crossed lovers story is a wild ride that you definitely don’t want to miss out on. But please note, this book is not for the faint of heart and may have triggers for some, but it’s superbly written so hopefully that shouldn’t be a problem. Kudos to the author for a job well done, and this reader is looking forward to book 2 of the Blood Legion MC Series. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars for an awesome read.
5 Cranky Stars
Hold on to your heart because this book will steal it away. I read this in one sitting and cant wait to devour more.
Mercy is a prisoner by her families doing. The KKK have nothing on the men who are supposed to protect her yet throw her to the wolves at every turn. One night she sneaks out and ends up in a bar, a bar that’s owned by her kins enemy. She comes face to face with Angel and knows he’s anything but.
Angel doesn’t bed a woman twice. No relationships besides his MC brothers. Hes the president and likes his life just the way it is until his eyes land on Mercy.
This book gripped me and I never wanted it to end. True love speckled with a lot of lust. Every page left me on the edge of my seat. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
When Angel sees Mercy (yes those really are their names) in his club’s bar one night, he is instantly drawn to her. After a very brief conversation, she ghosts him for days (or so he thinks) until she suddenly reappears, battered and bruised and warning him of an imminent attack on his club. Mercy comes from a hillbilly white supremist family, but after suffering at their hands for years, she can’t just stand by when she overhears them readying up to attack the Blood Legion MC, the one group of people who have treated her with kindness and where Angel; the beautiful man she met, rules as President. Can the pair get a HEA, or will her family take the MC out before they even get chance to try?
I’ve never read Rie Warren before but the blurb for this stood out to me and I’m so glad it did. I really enjoyed this and as it is apparently a spin off from another series, I will definitely be checking that series out a soon as I get chance. There was drama, action, violence, and some pretty hot bedroom action going on and I can’t wait to see what else is going to happen in this series. I’m hoping Slade will be next but I’ll be happy whoever it is. I give Cry Mercy 5 stars.
OMG!! What an amazing heartbreaking book. This book brought me to tears over what Mercy had to go through over and over again. Angel was the perfect man for Mercy. He was strong and protective but he also allowed her to shine in her own way. This book is one I couldn’t put it down. The writing just blew me away and never did Rie Warren exploit her characters as she shared such a hard and emotional story. I highly recommend this book. I wish I could give it a million stars!!!
Let’s start off by saying this is a first time author for us an we really enjoyed our first read by them.The story was pretty much action packed from beginning to end.
The story had a great cast of MC character’s that were loving,kind,protective,loved ribbing and teasing each other but, no doubt we saw the love they had between them as it was all there for those to see.These men were down right dangerous too “so”, the perfect mix.
We loved Angel the man went from nailing everything he could to pretty much love at first sight but, he set his sights on one women riddled with a ton of complications.We loved how protective,kind,loving and caring he was toward Mercy from the moment he met her.
Mercy was a women who lived a life of slavery and pain and brutality and yet remained a women who was caring and loving and one who had a sense of humor and one who would give her life just to protective the ones she loved a cared about.Mercy was special because not only did she have Angel wrapped around her little finger she had a entire MC club that came to love her in no time at all.
“Our relationship had been built on danger, survival,death, and . . . limitless hope.”
Overall the story had action and suspense from onset to the very end but, it was also one filled with emotion.I enjoyed the story and we are looking forward to the next in this series.
Mercy is a fantastic way to start the new MC series by the amazing Rie Warren! This book had everything you want in a MC book and a few surprises that you are not expecting, like laugh out loud moments involving man-bun wearing hipsters. Mercy was so strong despite her horrible past and Angel was so protective of Mercy without taking away her freedom. The chemistry between Angel and Mercy was so hot I expected to see steam coming out of my kindle.This is definitely not your average star-crossed lovers story and I can not wait to see what else Rie Warren has in-store for us in this new series.
