ARC REVIEW ➞
This story picks up where Dark Reign left off, Daphne joining Emerson’s collection….
Daphne is now held hostage and learning the hard way about Emerson’s obsession with her and her art goes. This isn’t what she wanted when she asked him for help. Emerson is a complicated man. She has a dark past and that has contributed to the man he now.
I loved getting to know a little bit more about who Emerson is and getting some idea of who the man truly is, but I feel like there is still a TON to learn about this mysterious man. I loved getting to know his brothers, Sin and Will. They are protective of Emerson and the three of them have a unique bond. Daphne doesn’t want to be there, yet she also sees more in Emerson and she is drawn to that. Learning more about him only leads to the two of them developing a deeper connection and understanding.
Sweet Mercy continues to paint a beautifully broken picture of Daphne and Emerson’s story and I can’t wait to see how their masterpiece turns out.
If you’re looking for a dark, anti-hero, romantic suspense this is one to read.
