Mercy is a kick ass girl who has not had an easy life, but who has also felt the unconditional love of her father who would go to the ends of the earth to protect her and prepare her for just about anything! I love that she is a nurse, and wants to help people when she has been so hurt. As I said I was prepared for much worse and fully expected to have been enrolling in therapy soon after I read Mercy's story. I loved this book from the very beginning. I am a follower of Lucian Bane's writing and have enjoyed his style and how the characters come to be, I also see pieces of the author in his writing that are in his personality.Which is fun cause I'm like -yay that's what Lucian has said or would say. And, I will so that I can understand and accept Sade with baggage and all. That being said, I have some questions about the S/M parts of the story that will need to be researched-after I write my review. So this is my first experience reading about S/M. I mean we introduce ourselves as Hi I am - and I'm into S/M. So I do not know if I have ever had a friend that had any of these desires or practiced them in their private life. In Life most of us do not identify to the public, co-workers or new friends what we do in our sex life.

The books I have mostly read are HEA some kind of romance-PNR, Historical and contemporary. Could Lucian do something else, is there another way he could get out ,could I handle the darkness of the book?, What was going to happen to my tender heart that I have spent a lifetime trying to control. I questioned why the particular move that Sade made to get out of Mercy's death grip had to be that way. I received the snippets along the way that Lucian offered.
