National Award-Winning Author KC Decker, brings readers a Sexy New, Doctor-Patient Romance.Ironically, my name is Mercy, though my parents showed me none. If you buy the nonsense they’re selling, you’d think my very birth foretold of an evil prophesy and unleashed a wicked scourge across the land.While that telling is all very dramatic and compelling, it’s not the whole story. The truth is, I was … story. The truth is, I was almost ten years old before the religious cult began to insist I had been kissed by the devil.
Nowadays, how people perceive me is clouded by a different set of convictions and a whole new doctrine. It’s a different batch of Kool-Aid, but I still have no choice about whether to swallow it or not. Not while I’m here and labeled a Ward of the State.
I’ve worn all types of labels over the years—non-believer, pariah, deranged, orphan…it’s all in my file if you care to understand me better. But the label that seems to have implanted the deepest and garnered the most attention is the one I wear like a Scarlet Letter. It precedes me when I enter a room and is whispered about like a schoolyard crush.

5 DR. SUTTON STARS!! Wow, I give you a prescription to read this phenomenal book now. Mercy and Sutton will take you on one heck ride through Mercy’s life and you need to hear it. Their story will give you all the feels with some naughtiness. This book is so different from my normal reads, which makes it refreshing. I have never read KC Decker before and I think I have been missing out on her fantastic storytelling. You must read this book.
Mercy is a wonderful doctor patient romance. Mercy has been through more then one can imagine in her life. She has been a ward of the state since she was young. She is a survivor and more then her diagnosis. She has fire in her that you will love. Dr. Sutton is amazing and hot. I love how he takes charge when he replaces Mercy’s previous doctor patients. He digs deep to help his patients. He recognizes things that have been missed. You feel the chemistry between Mercy and Sutton grow throughout their sessions. It is amazing to watch Sutton push Mercy and her grow so much. This story is more then your diagnosis. It has everything I was looking for and more. I loved this one so much. Hang on to this ride and journey of over coming.
5 Cranky Stars
Oh my God. I need all future romance books to be this good. I was hooked from the very first page. It was sexy, smart, and addictive.
Mercy is the most complex character I have come across in a while. I love how her mental illness doesn’t define her, it’s just one part of her. She’s extremely intelligent and interesting. You have to actually have a brain to understand her inner dialogue and I like that a lot.
Dr. Sutton is also extremely well written. You can absolutely sense his inner turmoil and his genuine concern and care for Mercy. Their romance is hot, forbidden, and very very sexy. I loved this book! 5 out of 5 stars!
For me, this is KC Decker’s best book so far!
The storyline was interesting and written with great care and respect. The author really did her research and created an amazing story. It is full of emotions and will keep you engaged and turning pages.
I have to say I struggled first couple of pages, but by the second chapter I was completely hooked!
I loved Mercy’s character and really admired her strength after everything she’s been through during her horrific childhood. She was instantly likable with quick wit and I enjoyed the banter between her and Sutton.
I think the forbidden aspect of the storyline was well written albeit a bit rushed at times. But I still absolutely adored Sutton and everything he did for Mercy. It pulled at my heartstrings to see Mercy get the happy ending she most definitely deserved.
The author also did a great job developing side characters and I loved the whole gang of Mercy’s friends.
I wouldn’t mind author writing another book with Mercy and Sutton since I couldn’t get enough of them! And I feel like there’s more questions that could be answered and further developed.
I really think this is author’s best work so far and I gladly recommend it. I look forward to read more and am curious to see what’s next!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Finding Mercy
—>>> It has been a while since Mercy had arrived at the psych ward as a child with a broken mind, the last ten years under the care of her psychiatrist Dr. Sigmund, her one constant. But now, her solid rock of comfort is suddenly is taken from her, and she finds herself placed under the care of his replacement, Dr. Sutton. While reviewing her file, he comes across information which leads him to believe that she may not have been diagnosed correctly, while fighting very taboo emotions for one of his alluring new patients. Dr Sutton makes extraordinary inroads in treatment already during his first few weeks, but he makes it a priority to set Mercy up for life outside the ward’s walls, as she is soon turning twenty one and timing out with her care as ward of the state.
I was drawn in from the first page of this story and found myself admiring Mercy for her strength, her goodness, her sharp intelligence and wit to have come out on the other side of her horrific childhood experiences more or less whole, after all. I loved the slow-sizzle between Sutton and Mercy as well as the exchanges with fellow Adult Behavioral Unit patients, the handful she has allowed to be close, who are also wonderful support for Mercy. This journey of Mercy finding herself is a great read!
I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I picked up this book but I was pretty caught up in it once I started it. Poor Mercy. I was rooting for her through out the book and was glad she got her HEA.
I really liked the book was a little torn on the romance. the doctor -patient connection. was a little hard for me. Mercy was very vulnerable with her mental health issues and things got a little tricky. Mercy in her innocence had a hard time dealing with Sutton. Sutton being her doctor, had to walk a fine line. It blurred sometimes. I also thought the ending was abrupt. Things wrapped up quickly. All that bring said, the story could have been dark and dangerous but you found yourself rooting for Mercy and Sutton. She had a traumatizing life and you wanted someone that she could depend on to love all her good and bad. Her friends were amazing and you also were rooting for them. Through all the dark mental health issues, the author was able to shine some fun times with her friends. Each book I read by this author has been full of emotion,. Love is not always sunshine and roses.
A 3.5 star read for me. I liked this story. I believe it’s the first book by this author that I’ve read. I did enjoy the story but for the second book in a while I am reviewing g that I wasn’t a fan of the author’s writing style. I almost didn’t finish. The flow, again, was off for me. I found the story jumped and I had to read and re-read wondering if I had missed something. It was a bit frustrating to say the least. I knew the story would be compelling having read the blurb but the writing style really left me less then happy. I have great respect for all authors and I don’t expect their writing style to always go hand in hand with me but if you skip ahead with no warning, leaving the reader scratching their head it doesn’t make for a happy experience is all I’m saying.
I loved the idea of this book. Mercy had me intreged right from reading the blurb and I know it was up my alley. I really liked Mercy and while I struggled some, I found that I had to push through and read the story. I’m glad I did because it was a really good story and a raw look at a character with a mental illness, who learns to cope and overcome her past and prevails. Add in the forbidden aspect with Sutton and I was glued trying to see what was going to happen. Sutton was a great aspect to this story. The way he helped Mercy ….. it melted my heart. I loved the end and glad that Mercy got the ending she deserved.
I struggled with some of the writing. Some scenes seemed to jump from one to the next without the feel of a smooth transition. Like the scenes weren’t done but the author wanted to move on from it. Some times I felt there was alot of internal dialogue that I found myself being taken out of the story. This I just my experience with how I enjoyed the overall story. It’s my first book by this author and I would be willing to try another because the plot was great and I felt like the author did all the right research. 3 stars #2OCCJD
