They say have Mercy on the tortured soul. But what they didn’t say is Mercy was that tortured soul. No one warned me that Mercy couldn’t always be something to save you when you were lost in despair. But it could drown you in its depth, and when I was ready to give up on her, she pulled me in and down on my knees. I peered up in her eyes and whispered. “Mercy, please have mercy on me.”
I absolutely LOVED reading this book. I took me 2 days to read because I was so hooked. I have to know more like what happens next.
Wow, what a rollercoaster ride of emotions! From the very beginning my heart was already breaking. Mercy has been on the run from a monster since she was 19. When she finally felt she found a home and love of a good man, she had to run again and this time to also protect Kellan. With a broken heart, Kellan tried to move on, but fate had a different plan. The chance reunion just showed how meant to be they were. When Kellan finally realized who Mercy was running from and why, he was willing to do everything in his power to keep her safe. I seriously loved Kellan, he was shattered when Mercy left him, and you were able to see him struggling with letting that pain go but with the help of Nico he was able to understand and concentrate on keeping her safe and moving on together.
These two love each other so much and witnessing the pain and suffering they went through when they were separated was heart wrenching, but once they were reunited and the way they worked together to move past it all was beautiful. And the chemistry between these two was off the charts hot! You definitely see the possessive alphaness of Kellan. The suspense portion of their story kept me on my toes and the way she was finally free from Linc was intense.
I absolutely loved Until Mercy, it was such an amazing read and highly recommend it.
Full Circle
This story was an emotional roller coaster of ups and downs. The pain both our leads endured apart is heart breaking. Knowing your other half is out there and having had it for a brief moment in times makes it all the harder.
When Mercy meets Kellan she’s not whole. A broken and damaged woman with secrets that could kill her and those around her. But there’s something about Kellan that calls to her soul. And she can’t ignore it.
Kellan didn’t expect Mercy. Hearing her laughter in the bar he takes one look and he’s done for. Her vibrant eyes sparkle and he’s drawn to her.
He knows she has secrets, he’s seen the shadows that linger in her eyes. But he’s hoping his love will be enough to banish what haunts her.
But when Mercy’s past catches up with she has no choice but to run. If leaving protects Kellan she’ll do that and more.
Present day; it’s been years since she left Kellan, years of longing, nightmares and loneliness. Kellan is never far from her thoughts. Though she’s made a life here in Seattle and friends she’s also always on guard.
Linc the man from her past the monster she’s been running from found her before and it’ll only be a matter of time before he does so again.
Fate has a funny way of coming full circle, and when her past finally comes calling it sends her running to Tennessee. A place that Kellan had spoken of when they were together.
A place that will ultimately bring these two back together but also has them confronting head on what she’s been running from.
A must read, expect tears, sadness then joy of these two finding there way back to other.
Loved the pace of the story and the secondary characters.
Dun… dun… dun!!!! CC Monroe is back and better than ever!! Her writing is beautiful and pure. She’s creative and so descriptive. When she gives me heartbreak… I feel it in my soul. When she gives us a tortured character… I ache for them! When she gives us love… I love all of them! Really, it’s a unique talent but CC Monroe oozes creativity with every word. I was thrilled when I saw this book was so close. I made the time to read these words even when I didn’t have a ton of time. I can’t help but drowned in her words and drown, I did…
Mercy, oh Mercy. I felt for this wonderful woman. Shes had such a hard time with life. She’s just living her days… day in and day out. But she isn’t LIVING. You know what I mean right, when someone is just going through the motions but not really living their life. That was Mercy. Then comes along Keelan and it’s like he woke her from her dream-like trance. Kellan is just what Mercy needed.
I think what I love and appreciate the most from CC Monroe’s books is her ability she has to put so much thought and emotions into her words. Until Mercy is so full of angst… so full of heartbreak and pain too. However, I found myself laughing throughout with Kellan and Nico’s antics. Then add in the chemistry and sexual tension and you’ll have a book damn near impossible to put down. An even better treat is getting to see some of Monroe’s previous characters… it’s like meeting up with old friends!!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
To love someone so much, that even after 4 years later, the pain in your heart, feels like you just lost them yesterday.
That is the definition of Mercy and Kellan.
Mercy is on the run, Kellan finally has a chance to get his girl, but will evil forces at play, let that happen?
Kellan is determined to make Mercy his forever, he doesn’t care about the obstacles in the way.
Mercy loves Kellan so much that she would not be able to survive if something happened to him.
This book a whirlwind in the best way and I thought it was amazing! Can’t wait to read more from CC Monroe.
