Mercy's Angels: Elizabeth
Every little girl dreams of her future. Whether it be college and a career or marriage and babies. All our life we think about what we are going to do “someday”. Lizzy has dreams. She and her Daddy sat and planned for places to visit, things to try and people to see. With the death of her father when she was ten, she put the list away. Her mother’s depression and her own feelings of abandonment left her without a purpose. Where would be the enjoyment without her whole family to share it with?
By the time she was ready for high school, Lizzy has come to terms with a life full of bumps. Mom has had one boyfriend after another searching for the happiness she had before. Moving to new neighborhoods with each one. Kids are mean at school and friends don’t come easy when you didn’t get to attend with them from kindergarten. Being a semi-loner with only a few girls she can call friends she learns to be self-sufficient. She makes good grades and tries to make her home life easy on her mom. But that all comes to a stop when the latest boyfriend pays too much attention to her growing body. Mom doesn’t notice and the only option she sees is to leave. On her own at sixteen is not ideal, but it’s better than not having any choices.
Street life is hard and there isn’t a day that goes by that the thought of going home doesn’t cross her mind. Finding others just like herself makes it bearable. Surviving is easier when you’re not the only one. Then one day, she meets him. That one person that makes you wish for more. Spending time with them makes your day brighter. Makes you wish for everything again. Never thinking it’s all just an illusion. Betrayal of the worst kind. Pain and humiliation become the norm, and it’s all his fault.
Thirty years later, after making her way in life and bringing her girls with her, she has it all. A successful business and friends who respect her. Living quietly does make for town gossip, but that is just talk. She is content with everything she has and what she fought for. Until, he comes back. With him come memories better left in the past. Can she survive with her heart and mind intact? Can she tolerate being around the person who betrayed her, to make her girls happy? This is Lizzy’s story. The final installment of the Mercy’s Angels. What happened to take the light away from her eyes? Why does the past have to resurface now?

***Trigger Warning***
OMFG i really was desperate to read this book... And it lived up to exactly what i thought it would, and a hell of a lot more!!! This is Elizabeth's story and it is not only beautiful with showing how strong Momma is but it does take you back to the heart wrenching, emotional past and what she had to suffer at the hands of compleate and total monsters!!!
As i refuse to give away spoilers... I will try my best to express what an amazing book this is without giving away plots...
Elizabeth's story is written with a true passion and in places, i cried, sobbed in fact as i could literally feel what she has to endure from the sweet age of 16... Her life changes forever...
With the return of the Mercy's Angels MC, memories and flashbacks are continuing to grow for Momma, along with other feelings, feelings that she didn't know were possible!!! Can Kenneth and Greg help build her stronger? Or will it prove too much? Has her past stolen her future? Or will she finally get her HEA? It's a wonderful journey and with each page you turn, you can feel the strength inside her grow! But things are never that easy... Right?
With twists and turns and shocks throughout, i can say that this book really deserved the maximum 5 stars... And i can't wait to see what Ms Barnard has planned next, and i know... It's going to be brilliant!!!

"Mercy's Angels: Elizabeth" (Mercy's Angels MC Book 4) by Barbi Barnard is a great read. This is Elizabeth's story. I enjoyed getting to know Elizabeth's story. I also enjoyed getting to catch up with Nick, Tiffi, Jenni, Wayne, Greg, Stephen, and all the others. I loved the surprise appearances for one of my other favorite MC's series too! :-) This story is emotional, over coming tragic events, has humor, new beginnings, family, and much more. I recommend this entire series to all fans of MC romance.

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review!
I have read all of Barbi's books and this one is my favorite! I knew Elizabeth's past was bad but I wasn't prepared for it being that bad. I cried so much for Lizzy. I was so upset that she was kept from the truth.
I'm so glad we finally got Lizzy's story! It's hard to believe this is the end

Hot, hot, hot
Elizabeth's story was great. Loved it, and brought in characters that everyone loves. Give us more Angel's Mercy, please! Thanks Barbie!

Intense with some funny thrown in!
Too be honest I only picked this because of the crossover with L. Ann Marie 's MC series (Cloud,Danny and Pres. Maybe some Princes too!) The story was good and I liked the author 's style. However, I've only read this book in the series and it didn't grab me enough to want to read the rest. Also, the crossover didn't happen until the epilogue so kinda a bummer.

Touching!
Elizabeth's Story is both heart-breaking and full of hope. You see the struggles she has gone through but also the courage and determination that she has to continue life as she knows it. Love Kenneth and Greg, making her feel like the fantastic woman that she is. Great read, highly recommended!

I couldn't wait to get this book. After reading the rest of the series, I fell in love with the characters and needed more of them. Once I finally got my hands on this story, I couldn't put it down. In this book we learn so much about what makes Momma. What she went through, and yes some will make you want to jump in and kick some ass. You also get to see her overcome things she didn't realize still bother her. This was my favorite of the Mercy's Angels. I wish there were more books because the characters are that amazing!
