*********SPOILER ALERT****************
I received the snippets along the way that Lucian offered. I questioned why the particular move that Sade made to get out of Mercy's death grip had to be that way. 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. The books I have mostly read are HEA some kind of romance-PNR, Historical and contemporary. In Life most of us do not identify to the public, co-workers or new friends what we do in our sex life. 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. I mean we introduce ourselves as Hi I am ----- and I'm into S/M. It's just not the way we usually work. So this is my first experience reading about S/M. 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. And, I will so that I can understand and accept Sade with baggage and all. 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.
I loved this book from the very beginning. 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. 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. I can totally identify with that as I also want to care for people. Even in all her struggles she comes out this side of the story with some baggage, but, not so much so that she is damaged beyond repair. I love that she is strong both physically and mentally or she would have just disappeared years ago from her awful past. She is so positive about wanting to help Sade, even when she has no idea what she could be getting into! She accepts almost all of him and wants to help bring him to a place where he can be more normal. To be his friend. It's like in this underworld of hell that Sade lives in there have not been many if any true people in his life. I cant wait to see how the relationships that are forming in the first book continue on in the second book. How will Sade and Bo relate and if they will become closer? I cant wait to see if Sade and Mercy's father have a real relationship. What happens when Mercy finds out her dad is still alive? I love that these two broken souls have a connection somewhere from the very beginning and how fast they connect on a higher level. That they show each other that part of themselves they think no one could ever love or understand. I was like cheering them on as I read. Hoping that Mercy will kick Sade's ass for "fighting dirty"! They cling to each other in a very strong and I believe positive way. Slowly shedding light on the darkness of the past. Both giving and taking-I thought when Sade restrained Mercy the second time, that both she and I may lose it... We did not. And I love her mantra, that helps her deal. but, even when Sade restrains her and touches her, she does not fall apart or crawl back into the hole where it's safe. She DEALS and moves on. Most of Lucian's female character are always this strong, beyond believe strong that we don't usually see. And in some of the sexual situations that I'm thinking "Oh, hell No!" I'll brain him when I get loose. But, they don't and maybe it's just that I have never had that kind of relationship. That I don't understand, or the power of that kind of love???? I don't know!! I will need to think about that one.
Both Mercy and Sade are dancers, I love it! Strong and sensual. BOOM!
Thank you for asking me to trust you with what happens with Mercy. I'm glad I did! It was not nearly as bad as I had conjured in my mind waiting for the final book.
I love it that when Sade's heart was pounding, I swear mine was too. I wiped tears as Mercy did. I held onto my kindle so tight my hands hurt today. I loved that Sade (Vin Diesel look-a- like) was" Man enough" to cry, to start the sharing first and even though he thought Mercy was a little crazy- he did it anyway. Maybe subconsciously Mercy really is his angel! I hope so! I'm not familiar with SAIL song,( I will find and listen to it) but I kept thinking of another song that seemed to fit also. We're not broken from Pink. I hope to hell that Sade's dad gets his too!
Lucian Bane is a masterful story teller and I eagerly await Mercy and Sade's story to continue I hope all of our questions will be answered. I don't mind the cliffhanger, I now have something to look forward to reading, That I know it will be a new, inviting, strong, positive and loving storyline that Lucian is so great at writing. That they may have come from hell, but will be damned if there going to go back , that they will work together to come out the other sunny side! I love a story that we can sink into and keep thinking about the characters days after w finish the book. And on some random day something makes you remember what happened here.------Wow that is GREAT writing!!!
CHEERS!!! WELL DONE!!!! I'm speechless (and that never happens) BRAVO, WOW, THANK YOU, THE BOOM MASTER!!!
