Book Review: Mercy by Julie Garwood

Reviewed by Jennifer Turner


Plot: Theo and Michelle (Mike), the lovers and main characters of the story, have an interesting meeting which involves him regurgitating his food upon her expensive dress.  She ends up performing surgery on him, not knowing that they will meet up again soon.

The Sowing Club - a group of twisted people who started off committing white collar crimes just to gain money, but end up being some hard-edged, murderous and dangerous people - seek to kill Michelle because one member killed his wife with his greed.  The wife was smarter than anyone gave her credit for; she had information that endangered the club as a whole and could send them to prison.

Review: An eye-catching, action-packed, heart throbbing, lovesick romance... sounds like a cheesy advertisement for a movie.  Mercy is a mystery-romance that leads you by the nose, giving the appearance that this is going to be an average romance story - nothing new or captivating about it.  Well, not quite true - the book does start with a slow pace for a few chapters, but once the storyline progresses the romance and action blossom.  The story will hold you in captivation for many hours without being able to stop once the first page has been turned.  With all the murdering, twists, turns, and shocks, the story ends like a dream; everyone got what each earned, whether death, love, marriage or jail.
