I'm not always the hero. Sometimes I'm merciless.

My whole life I've been the good guy—loyal friend, helpful son, dedicated firefighter—but in the bedroom I'm someone else. That’s where my inner villain likes to come out and play.

With a kink as taboo as mine, it’s too risky to play with anyone who doesn’t crave it like I do, so I’ve gotten used to depriving that side of me.

Then I see her. She’s the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen and my darker half recognizes itself in her mysterious brown eyes. She’s everything I could ever want and thought I would never find.

Our arrangement may seem twisted to everyone else, but the sex is explosive—and soon my soul demands to own every part of her. We come from different worlds that want to tear us apart at every turn, but I'll be damned if I let them.

I will fight for our future, and I will be…merciless.

Reader Advisory: Merciless deals with forced fantasy between consenting adults. Readers sensitive to non-consensual sex fantasies should be advised.

My Review:

I’ve been waiting for Austin’s book and it did not disappoint at all. If you’ve read the other books in the series you will find out each guy has a sexual kink. Austin’s is a little extreme and to be honest I wasn’t sure how I would react while reading. I have to say Gina Maxwell wrote these scenes in a tasteful and respectful manner which I very much appreciated. Don’t get me wrong it was hot as heck but I didn’t get that sick feeling in my stomach when I knew it was going to happen. Nor did I feel sick after I was finished. I felt safe and respected just like Emi. I loved Austin and Emi as they are social opposites and I loved the way the crew accepted her into the family. Austin is a good ole Southern boy and he’s my second favorite now after Chance. Sorry, Roman. It was good catching up with the rest of the gang as well. I loved the bond that Austin and Addison have with each other in this story. Each book in the series has offered me an escape and I can’t wait to read the next one!
