Merciless gets ALL the stars!! Yet another scorcher from Sybil Bartel! This book had everything. Bad guys, car chases, shoot outs & of course a serious alpha fighting for the love of his life. Sybil never disappoints with the action & the sexiness. This time is no different.
Scroll down for my full review. But beware spoilers!
So before I get into all the goodness that is Merciless. I thought I would take a second to explain my love for this particular author. Since I haven't reviewed one of her books on my new site I figured it was time. So for all of you who have yet to jump on the Sybil Bartel train, DO IT NOW! Seriously I can not say enough about this author. I found her through a random add last year & ever since I have read & reread every one of her books. Now I know a lot of you are more into audiobooks, especially you busy moms like me. Trust me I get it. I am the same way but Sybil's books are worth the reading time. I promise. Maybe after the kids are down & you have some downtime alone in your room? Because with her books. Oh boy. You definitely want to be alone when you read them. Or have your SO close by. ;) So anyways the main reason I love Sybil's books is because every single one of her stories that she has published ties together. They are all in the same world & all the charters overlap into other stories. So if you have a favorite alpha of hers? (Can anyone say TALON?!) You will probably see them in future stories! Also her alphas are freaking ALPHA! Seriously she has ruined me on all other alpha heroes in books! Her men are intense to the point of scary at times but then they can flip & become your freaking dream men. Seriously so freaking SEXY! But her story lines are so well thought out & so action packed that they could easily be turned into action movies. Every single book is a page turner that you never want to put down! Believe me I own them all & like I said I have reread them all multiple times. I'm still never bored. They are my go to for road trips, airplane rides or just random downtime. Every book is worth a read & that I can promise you.
Now onto Merciless. This book, just wow. I got it & wanted to dig into it instantly because I knew it would be awesome. Unfortunately I had to wait until the kids were asleep. But once I opened it I didn't put it down until I finished it. I had already been curious about Collins since way back when he was a random Luna bodyguard & went by Collin. Finally we get his first name! Garrett. Now we already had the teaser so I kind of already knew the storyline but I had no clue how intense it was going to be! I mean right off the bat she threw us into the suspense & drama. Then we get into it with our two love birds & I will admit at being frustrated with Brookes caginess. I just wanted to yell at her to "trust him!" but you know where is the fun in that right? The whole first part had me on edge then when they finally get together it is EXPLOSIVE! I mean hotness & sweetness to the max! They are so incredible when the guards are let down that I totally forgot what the teaser said & I was sure they would face the rest of the book together. But of course the bomb dropped & I was ripped away from my bliss. But no fear part two definitely made my heartbreak worth it! I mean the drama is intense & the action is just plain insane! But his dedication to his son & yes to Brooke even though he is pissed at her made my heart happy. I mean seriously happy. He was willing to walk through a hail of gunfire just to keep them safe & even after being hit several times his one & only thought was getting them out of there. Then when the dust settles somewhat & they are finally able to air out all their dirty laundry it was seriously epic! I love love love that they waited for each other. She knew he was her one & only. He knew his heart was hers & that no other woman could replace her. Even after just one night. That's pure HEA genius if you ask me. The way he almost worships her & how she describes her feelings for him make that apparent. These two were obviously made for each other. I loved getting to know Sawyer better & I can not wait for his story! Also I liked how she tied in Maldonado. But what I loved the most & what I mentioned earlier is how many characters we got to see in this book. Not only the obvious in Luna & his men but also Talon & Neil. We even get to see Dane freaking Marek! But my favorite was Ariel & Connor. I love that Ariel & Brooke are friends & that through that Connor & Maverick have become friends as well. I just like that the family always comes together & embraces all the new additions with open arms. All in all this book was a winner for me 100%. 5 stars & if I could I would give it 10!
For those of you who are wondering if you need to read all her books to enjoy this one the answer is no. This book is completely enjoyable all on it's own. But if you want to start at the beginning of this series here is the link:
