I’ve read all of the Dead Presidents MC books, by this author, and loved each and every one. I’ve not, however read any of the Special Forces books by Susan Stoker. I’m not sure why, because they’ve caught my eye, I’ve just never picked one up. Now, I’m regretting that, if this book is any indication of how the stories go! (I will say, even though this book is supposed to take place in the Special Forces World, I had absolutely no trouble following along. I’m not sure where it fits in, or what I may have missed, but I had no issues.)
Mercy is a pre-school administrator. She is working hard to give back to her community, beginning with its youngest, and most vulnerable citizens. She has a huge heart, and is a genuinely nice person. But she’s been burned, having grown up in a situation where love is a joke and not to be trusted. So she concentrates on her school, and the children.
Landon is an active duty Army Medic. He loves his mother, but doesn’t come to visit, and rarely calls, due to some misplaced feelings regarding his father’s death. He is mixed up, trying to make up for those feelings by giving his all to his country. When he is finally forced to come home, he finds that things aren’t always like they seem.
With Mercy and Landon, sparks fly from their very first meeting! I loved the chemistry they had, how well they fit together, how well they worked together. I loved visiting with the Dead Presidents MC guys, and hope to see more of Mercy and Landon in the future! This series has been nothing but amazing, and Mercy and Landon fit in well with they guys! On another note, think I’m going to have to dive into those Special Forces books…….
A spinoff from the Dead Presidents MC Series.
This still includes characters from the Dead Presidents but its focus is on Mercy. She is the Head of a Preschool that was for low income families.
This was very interesting to see ambitious clever and passionate women as the lead. Her job is so important to her and I think very important we have these women as leads in our books.
Even as lust developed between Mercy and Landon it doesn’t make her career and accomplishments any less important. Landon is an army medic on leave visiting home for the first time in 7 years.
I was intrigued to know the story of him joining the army and getting to know the history between him and his mum.
Highlights of the book have to be the friendship of 2 of the kids in the preschool as well as the Dead Presidents MC helping out at Christmas.
Was nice read and would recommend to others but I feel like wanted a bit more. Think that’s just me being greedy though!
