Synopsis
I put up with the abuse, the degradation, the humiliation, and bided my time. I wanted vengeance and I took it. The Lords give as good as they get and the consequences were fierce, but there’s one truth when it comes to Killian, Dimitri and Tristian.
They keep what’s theirs.
They wanted to break me, but instead, they molded me into their perfect weakness. They fought for me. Bled for me. Championed for me. I was put through the gauntlet and came out stronger. I earned the title of Lady.
Then they became my weakness.
I agreed to sleep under their roof, but on my terms. No more rules, no more punishments, no cameras or dress codes or sneaking into my bedroom. In return, I’ll give them a chance to earn the title of Lord.
Building trust takes time, but with all the threats nipping at our heels, that’s a luxury we don’t have. We have to rely on one another despite our complicated pasts—to find a murderer, a stalker, and a traitor.
This new life of pain, wrath, and mercy is a confusing maze of twists and turns. Fortunately for us, there will always be one fixed constant, guiding us home:
The Royal we.

Review
The review for Lords of Mercy is a hard one for me to write. I loved the other books in the series, and I really enjoyed the first probably two-thirds of this book. But in the end, it did not do it for me.
I loved how the book began, with Story making the guys work for her. She returned to them, but she wasn’t giving in to them again, and I really liked how strong she became. I also loved seeing the guys having to work for it and realizing she was with them because she wanted to be.
We also finally find out who “Ted” is, and I don’t know if it was because I guessed it, but I was disappointed. Quite franking by the time we got to the reveal, it really couldn’t have been anyone else, and so I would have liked a little bit more mystery and intrigue. That’s where the book started to go downhill for me, but it got worse when…

There was a baby, because sure, this seems like a great environment to bring a child into. But, this was not an epilogue baby either. Not a five or ten years done the road baby, but like right now, Story is still in school, and the guys are getting in gunfights. Was I surprised? No, because they started setting this up, I knew what was coming, but it was still utterly unnecessary!
So while I wanted to love this one, but I did not. I sincerely hope this baby thing doesn’t happen in all the books in this series.
