REVIEW: Mercy by Helenkay Dimon

Image
Synopsis: After she infiltrated his business and betrayed his trust, a disavowed CIA agent must seek sanctuary in the bedroom of a man who will either help her, kill her, or bring her to her knees… Becca Ford is on her own. Eight months after she headed up a sting operation to take down millionaire club owner Jarrett Holt, the other agents in her special ops team have been eliminated under odd circumstances, and she needs a place to hide. Jarrett is a man who prefers darkness to light. He deals in the only truly valuable currency-information-and his supper club caters to an exclusive clientele. It was an uncharacteristic moment of weakness when he let a woman into his life. But it’s not luck that the criminal charges disappeared… as did the evidence. When Becca returns to the club seeking his help, Jarrett doesn’t want to hear her story. But he does want her body, and demands that she give it to him. He’ll keep her safe-for now-but it’ll be in his bed and on his terms, until he says th

TAG TUESDAY: Pokémon Go Book Tag

So I saw this tag done by @foksha_1996 on Instagram and I just had to do it! This tag was made by ReadAtMidnight . I just started playing this game and thought it would be a good idea to join both my love of reading and this game together. Thank you for coming up with this fun tag!!! DISCLAIMER: Pokemon Go belongs to Nintendo and Niantic. I do not own these photos.  Out of this group, I only have Charmander 🙁 My love of books started back when I was in fourth grade. Pretty sure Harry Potter started it all. Those are the first books I remember loving, besides Goosebumps. So thank you J.K. Rowling for bringing my love of books to the surface and now I can’t stop buying books. I totally blame you. I haven’t come across Pikachu yet and I don’t think I will for a while. Unfortunately, I can’t ever seem to get into classics. I’ve never been interested in them and don’t think I will for a long time. Maybe when I’m older. But I can assure that my love for the Lord Of The Rings trilogy will ne

Title: The Way I Used To Be Author: Amber Smith Purchase:  Amazon  ~  Kindle  Started: 06/30/2016 Finished: 07/02/2016 WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!! This book was spot on.
