Mercy (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought.

Beau is gorgeous in those fitted jeans and a tight polo shirt that shows off the impeccable shape of his muscled shoulders, but he knows how gorgeous he is and that’s what kills his appeal. If only he finished off the look with a touch of humility, he’d be a ten.”

I recognize that a man can be submissive and not lose his manhood, but the same can be true that the hero can be alpha despite being a submissive brat. Their relationship had an air of father-son. Also, Maggie’s joy at the administration of pain and the key event of submission weren’t that appealing, maybe because of that, and to me they defied her alpha. Still, the self-education, research, and careful experimentation with character boundaries, especially Maggie’s, were well done. Plus the aftercare was sweet and so heartwarmingly reassuring. Sara Cate is a USA Today bestselling author that lives in Arizona with her husband, dog, and kids. She enjoys baking in her free time. Good thing we got that boring stuff outta the way. I have to rant about this, because I DNFd at 5% and it's been awhile since I was so angry at a novel. Premise is a woman who's part-owner of a sex club discovers she's sexually dominant and starts a relationship with her co-worker's bratty son, who's in his 20s. I’m not afraid of spending my life alone. I actually like being alone, but I’m tired of being unfulfilled and I’m terrified the best years of my life are behind me, and unlike being a sexy rich man in his forties, I’m a thirty-four-year-old workaholic woman that never gets to play the starring role in anyone’s fantasy.” The vulnerability he’s expressing, the pain, fear, anger, all of it, is somehow as beautiful as much as it is haunting.” Maggie

Beautifully, the story described Maggie and Beau’s growth and acceptance, embracing them and being comforted by the lifestyle, especially after Beau gave it up. I enjoyed reading about her insecurities in her new roles. How Maggie talked jazzed up. I liked and found Beau’s meanness about wanting to be punished for an acquittal and having someone else lead him because he was out of control amusing. This book is both graphic and explicitly about a sexual relationship. If you’re sensitive to these topics… I don’t know why you’re trying to read this book lolThis book mostly takes place in The Salacious Players’ Club and Maggie’s home. They do go to several local businesses and it’s varied enough to give a real city feel. I was pleased with the world she created. I had a clear picture of what all the rooms they were in looked like. Not too much time and not too little time building. Genre & Tropes Genre
