4 "With death, comes life" Stars

This one picks up right where Reign finishes with Jillian and Zeek on the run. Zeek has left everything behind for Jillian but she is having a hard time figuring out if she loves or hates him after everything she has found out. When it comes down to it I can totally understand why it'd be hard to say no to Zeek.

 photo zeek_zpszte228s2.jpg


So the first half of this book was a little boring and a lot slower paced as Jillian and Zeek have a lot to sort through. When these to decide to make up, they sure do it right with some smoking hot scenes.

I got all giddy excited when we get to be back amongst some of my favourite MC men at the Devil's Dust clubhouse. Zeek's brother Lip is part of the club but will their past stop Lip and the Devil's from helping them?

So I liked when the action got going in the second half, it bought the thrill back and I really enjoyed all the different characters. The underlying 'coming of age' with Zeek discovering he is a normal person with normal feelings, he just has to learn to cope with those feelings and act accordingly.

Jillian finds her inner 'kickass bitch' right when she needs it the most, this girl has some moves!!!

Even though I didn't love this as much as the first one, I still really enjoyed it. I think the author did a great job of setting up some great foundations for more books to come. I'll be keeping a lookout for them.

TITLE: Mercy
SERIES: (Sin City Outlaws Book 2)
AUTHOR: M.N. Forgy
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
RELEASE DATE: April 4th, 2016

MY RATING
Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Like high octane gas this series is addictive, filled with enough biker grit to keep you up throughout the night reading..

I cray cray LOVED Reign (Sin City Outlaws, #1) by this talented author M.N. Forgy
If you haven't read the first in this series what are you waiting for?? Get one clicking before this is released!!

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

MERCY (SIN CITY OUTLAWS #2) starts off right where BOOK #1 ended, her father shot in cold blood, Zeek throwing her in the cruiser and taking off, spoken in dual POV'S (Zeek & Jillian) Leaving the City of Las Vegas behind, they are on the run, both are wanted fugitives.

I went against my brotherhood. I slept with a cop. My club found out and my uncle set me up, made me kill Jillian’s father right in front of her. Then he tried to kill her, and I know he would have tried to kill me, too, so I snatched her and ran.

Who can they trust??

I gave into temptation, I betrayed the code of blue, I fell for a criminal.

Zeek and Jillian both end up in the last place Zeek ever thought he'd go to for help

“I’m here because I have nowhere else to go. I’m here because it’s the last fucking place on Earth”

Image and video hosting by TinyPic I knew not to get involved with an outlaw, especially one from the notorious Sin City Outlaws, a president of a motorcycle club.

“I’m a sheriff, and he’s an outlaw. How could we ever work, and that’s saying if we make it through this shit?”

These two together are like an explosive bomb ready to detonate, the attraction is like lava running through their veins, fireworks exploding..The good girl rookie cop and the big bad wolf of a bikers gang, forbidden attraction. The chemistry between Zeek & Jillian is as off the charts as ever before..

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Image and video hosting by TinyPic "What are you thinking about?”
I snap from my daydream of throwing gasoline on Zeek’s bike, holding the red gallon of gas above my head and laughing like a mad woman.
"Hmm, what?” I try to play it off.
"Yeah, you, you have this look…it’s disturbing.” I chew my inner cheek, debating on what to say.
Um, I was thinking about burning your bike, maybe your clothes, too. I thought it’d make me feel better about everything…"
I sigh, trying to avoid eye contact because I’m sure he’s bug-eyed.
"Oh fuck, you’re one of those chicks”

I hate Zeek, but I love Zeek. Feeling the two is a constant battle. Like Heaven and Hell playing on the same field.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

I got mummy problems, and you got daddy issues. No wonder the sex is off the charts.

MY THOUGHTS
I loved the dynamics between these two strong characters, the love, hate aspect of their time together, the battle between wits, the constant bantering, the love hidden under all the hurt and deception..
We're all suckers for books where the bad boy falls for the good girl and this series is no exception, ticked all those taboo boxes..
This series exceeded all my expectations, the dark, the grit, the sexy times, the hot alpha male and the tough as f*ck rookie cop. To say I loved this series is an understatement, these characters were flawless, the storyline was unique, the ending could not have been written better..

Five glowing stars! M.N. Forgy brought her A game. She came, saw and kicked our reading asses. Holy crap this was an exciting steamy read! Bikers and law enforcement mix just about as well as oil and water....they don't! This crafty author brings out the impossible and improbable and leaves me craving more. Better question is what will happen next? There are too many loose ends for this to be the end. God I hope not. Ugh just the thoughts churns my stomach!

Zeek: On the run, hunted down like a fugitive by police, his Uncle and members of his own club. This deadly president will defy odds, he'll takes his chances with one of his adversaries. Devils Dust will either be his saving grace or destruction.
 photo Reign 6.jpg

The name of the game is survival for Deputy Sheriff Jillian McAdams. Wrongly accused of murder by her own department she'll walk a fine line, she's never walked before. The life of a criminal. But how do you stay with someone who killed one of your own?

I have been patiently waiting for "Mercy" and let me tell you,this book was bigger,badder and a hell of a lot more sexier than the first one. Zeek and Jillian are one couple that I wouldn't want to mess with and the rules no longer apply to them. Will they survive each other? Can a cop and a MC President really have a happily ever after?

"Depending on who you ask, they say love can bring the worst or best out in a person. "

Which am I?


After that horrendous cliffhanger in book one,we know that Zeek and Jillian are on the run. Jillian is being set up for the murder of her father,and Zeek has run out of options so the only way to keep her safe was to run with her.Having no one to trust,they head to his estranged brother's MC to seek help but everything doesn't go as planned. Forced to rearrange their plans,Zeek and Jillian do what has to be done in order for now. But Jillian doesn't trust Zeek. She knew he was a ruthless man before they got together but being on the run has made her really see why he's the President of one of the most feared MC's.

Zeek is willing to do anything to keep Jillian safe. Having a target on their backs has not been an easy thing for them but he will not rest until her innocence is made and he gets his club back from being taken over by his ruthless Uncle Frank. How far is he willing to go to save the woman he loves? You'll just have to read it and find out.

I can honestly say that this story kept me on the edge of my seat. I kept thinking what the hell is going to happen next! I love when there's a ton of action in a story and you come face to face with a showdown. That to me makes the story more interesting and the characters more real. I loved Zeek's determination and his humor for certain situations. I found myself laughing and shaking my head with a smirk on my lips. He was the ultimate BADASS and the way he loved Jillian was such a different side to him that I'm glad to read about.

"Who actually wakes up wanting to find love? It's painful as fuck. I've had bullet wounds hurt less than this shit.

I highly recommend this series if you haven't read them already. It's very different from your normal MC reads which I love but it has the same raw,all consuming grit and angst that we all love.

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Mercy by M. N. Forgy after the cliffhanger in the first book, Reign.

Mercy should not be read as a stand alone novel. Read Reign first.

Sin City Outlaws MC President, Zeek DeLucca and Las Vegas Sheriff, Jillian Adams have defied their peers, friends, and family. They chose their passion for one another even though it was forbidden. Two very different people on very different sides of the law. The heart wants what it wants.

After an explosive scene in the end of Reign, Zeek and Jillian are on the run. They are wanted for the murder of a Sheriff Lieutenant, Jillian’s stepfather. They have stirred the hornets nest with Uncle Frank, the mafia, and the Sin City Outlaws MC. There is nowhere to turn and no one to trust. Everyone is an enemy. Their only hope may be one of Zeek’s most personal enemies and a rival MC that has declared war on the Sin City MC. Zeek is seeking help from his estranged brother Phillip, otherwise known as Lip, and the Devil Dust MC. He’s made enemies and may have to pay with his life. He’s willing to take that risk in order to save Jillian’s life.

This is the second part in the Sin City Outlaws series. You need to read the first book, which ends with a cliffhanger to be able to read this part. It is the continuation and conclusion of Zeek and Jillian’s story.



After a killer end of the first part, I could not wait to read the second book. And it was worth the waiting. But it all stems from the events of the previous part therefore can not reveal too much.

Zeek and Jillian are on the run. Jillian can't cope with her emotions and situation that she found herself. She loves Zeek and hates him at once. And every day must to look at him because they are in danger and need to hide. They both will have to go through the process in which will be able to put together their not easy relationship. They shouldn't be together, but nothing is able to separate them. They have a long and dangerous road ahead to some peaceful and happy moments.



Lot of emotion, extremely hot scenes and plenty of rough action. It says everything about this story. Zeek is hot and dangerous as hell. He is the true alpha bad boy. And Jillian, also, isn't gentle and soft type of girl. She gives so much as she takes. They are amazing together and have an unbelieveable steaming moments. Their hot scenes are intense and rough. But it can also be romantic. His attention to her and dedication is something incredible.

Although I'll be honest. Compared to other MC romance books, and even forbidden love romances, it will not be the best of them you can ever read. Some of the dangerous moments made me laugh. I don't know whether that was the intention of the author. I think maybe yes, in order to soften constantly tense action. Because we have here constant of raw and dangerous events. But at the end it did not matter, because I so much got to like Zeek and Jillian that it didn't stop me to enjoy their story. At all.



I started it with curiosity and question. How this story can have a happy ending? And it exactly is a very original and with not trivial ending book. But is this really the end? It has great open space for the next books in the series, because there are some unfinished things. So I hope that it will happen, perhaps with the characters of the second plan? Hope so.

It's book for you if you like dangerous MC guys and forbidden relationships. It's violent but not so much dark with this moments when you don't know if you should laugh or be terrified. And has a lot of dirty and rough sexual scenes. Definitely for fans of erotica.

*PLEASE NOTE MERCY can't be read as standalone. Must Read Reign first. *

 photo ac3db0fdb5fa3b9c4435af8f00dac2_zpsohui7lco.gif “Zevin Zeek Deluca is the fucking Devil. Complete with a gun, and a leather cut to top it off.”

Rev up your engine because M.N. Forgy delivers one gritty addictive MC romance that will have your hearts ablazing with this high action sexy romance. Zeek, the Outlaw is back and this time he is out for revenge and will do anything and I mean anything to protect Jillian. Even if it means to kill everyone that crosses him.

 photo 036bd018bbf7c7fe8131b5a0edf8e7_zpsq1vefbh7.gif “Before you know it, love has impaled your soul, feeding it piece by piece to the bad boys we fall so stupidly for.”

Mercy picks off where it last off in Reign so you would need to read that book first in order to understand why Zeek and Jillian are on the run. As wanted outlaws, Zeek first prerogative is to protect Jillian and help clear her name for a murder that she didn’t commit. But Zeek needs to make Jillian understand him. And that task won’t be as easy as he thought.

#MERCY

Jillian is beyond shock to discover the man she loves killed her father. She should hate Zeek but at the same time she loves him. She wants to despise him but can’t. Like a moth to a flame, she needs him. Wants him. And desires for him. But trust is something that she needs to do. Can Jillian trust Zeek?

 photo ac3db0fdb5fa3b9c4435af8f00dac2_zpsohui7lco.gif “I know you think I’m a piece of shit, a bad guy who doesn’t give a fuck, and you’d be partially right. I am a bad guy; the worst kind. But when it comes to you, I give all the fucks and I would never do something to hurt you, not like that”

While on the run, Zeek informs Jillian of her father’s dirty dealings and his ties to Zeek’s uncle. Jillian is stunned, hurt and torn that the man she idolized and loved could have a secret life. As much as Jillian want to deny and not believe what Zeek told her, she knows that Zeek is telling the truth. As Zeek seek out help from his estranged brother who belongs to a rival MC, Zeek must make a choice. His MC or protect the woman he loves. And Zeek doesn’t need to take long to decide. It will always be Jillian.

 photo 036bd018bbf7c7fe8131b5a0edf8e7_zpsq1vefbh7.gif “Love is an ugly thing, it changes you even if it’s for the worse. I was fine with the way I was before. Some could say I wasn’t human, but at least before Jillian I didn’t know what the hell I was missing. Now that I’ve felt what it’s like to have Jillian’s soft, warm body tucked into my arms at night, and her breath tickle against my collarbone while she sleeps...I can’t forgo that solace now that I’ve had it. I will slay anyone who tries to step in front of that. Even if that means neither of us are standing in the end.”

As Zeek tries to protect Jillian, he knows that they must get their hands dirty in order to get clean. But on their way in clearing their name, Frank is back with a vengeance. He wants Zeek’s MC club and he wants to destroy Zeek. And in order to have both, he is on the hunt for Jillian. Will Jillian be the downfall for Zeek?

 photo ac3db0fdb5fa3b9c4435af8f00dac2_zpsohui7lco.gif “I’d take everything you ever cared about away all over again if it meant you got to breathe another day on this fucked up Earth next to my side”

Mercy was sinfully hot!!! This book was the perfect conclusion to Zeek and Jillian. It was gritty, violent, raw, and passionate. Nothing about Zeek and Jillian is simple and so their story should be a high adrenaline complex story of love. So if you are looking for a romance that fiery hot, sexy, and addicting then look no further than Zeek and Jillian. Discover why there are no right rules when loving an outlaw.

description

'Mercy' is the second and last book in M.N. Forgy’s 'Sin City Outlaws' series and picks up right where the first book ended. As the first installment, this one is filled with action, intrigue, suspense and last but not least steam. M.N. Forgy delivered a pretty great conclusion to Zeek and Jillian’s story. I have to say I’ve been anxiously awaiting for this second book in the series since the ending of the first book left me nervous and with my mouth hanging open.

“Mercy is for the weak and because of the world we live in there is no room for weakness. Only the strong fucking survive.”


Jillian never planned to fall for the notorious violent MC President named Zeek. She tried to stay away from him as much as Zeek tried to remind himself that getting involved in a romantic relationship with a rookie with be suicide. The inevitable happened they falling for each other, but every action has consequences.

“He and I may not be good for one another, may be different from every aspect, but it doesn’t fade what I feel for him. If anything, it fuels it.”


Jillian was set up for the murder of her father. She still can’t comprehend some truths she found out. On top of that she has mixed feelings for Zeek. She knows she should hate him, but she can’t deny how much she loves the man who is so forbidden for her. Zeek would do anything for the woman he loves, even abandon his Club and run away with her. He wants her free and save no matter what. Planning to save Jillian and also himself, he is ready to ask his estranged brother for help. Everything gets complicated, so Zeek and Jillian have to stay strong in order to survive.

"Depending on who you ask, they say love can bring the worst or best out in a person."

Which am I?


This second installment was as action-packed as the first one, but steamier which obviously I enjoyed. I enjoyed the intrigue and the suspense. There were times when the story really kept me at the edge of my seat. Once again, Zeek was hot and dangerous. I really enjoyed his character. I loved his determination to protect Jillian no matter what and the way he loved her. Jillian was sweet and gentle and as likeable as our hero.

“The feel of her beating heart against mine, the meaning of her arms pulling me in close, it all means something. It breaks barriers, it broke mine. It made me fade from numb to something more human.”


Their connection was done even better than in the previous installment. I really liked these two together and I loved their sexy times. Intense or sweet, I enjoyed every single one of them. The passion between these two was combustible at times. Loved it!

I wouldn’t have minded the story to be longer and some aspects of the story to be more developed – like the relationship between Zeek and his brother. Overall this was a good read and I’m looking forward to read other books from this author.

5 stars
After the mother of cliffhangers in Reign , I couldn’t wait for Mercy. I’m so happy MN Forgy wrote the second book so fast and the wait was manageable. Mercy was a perfect ending for the Sin City Outlaws Series. Zeek and Jillian went to hell and back and despite all the bad things that happened, they stayed together, fought the bad guys and got one very unexpected HEA. I LOVED IT!!

I loved this book as much as I loved the first one. All the romance, the sexual tension, the fights between these two amazing characters were awesome. I love how the author could write a book in the bikers genre with such violence without grossing me out. In fact, I was on the edge most of the time, worrying like crazy for these characters that I loved like crazy since book one and hating other characters, that at the end had what they deserved.

In Mercy , Jillian and Zeek are running to save their lives. They had to clear some things out, getting to trust in each other again, get the help from an enemy motorcycle club and the fight the evil ones. And guess what? Despite all the mess, the nearly death situations, everything wound up very well for Zeek and Jillian.

I can’t wait to read more books by MN Forgy. She gain a fan in me! <3

☆ I received an ARC via TRSOR PR in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! ☆

Mercy picks up right after bk1. In true MN Forgy flare, this was a pretty unconventional read with some definite uprising steaks.

I think any reader who’s read this authors works can tell you to predict the unpredictable because you just don’t know where this writer is going to throw you through next.

Zeek and Jullian are wanted people with a bullseye on their backs. Framed for murder, and a tumultuous web soaked in lies, blood, vengeance, and deceit, both characters must dig deep and figure out who they can or cannot trust while unraveling the truth before they are caught by authorities or worse, killed.

Of course, though, for badass alpha Zeek, Jullian’s safety and protection are his number one priorities and he will do anything and take out anyone to make sure of it.

But as for Jullian, can she really lay down everything she’s ever known and ensure herself to the man who goes against every fiber of her being and who’s also killed her father and turned his back on his own club for her?

Tick tok tick tok…time is surely running out for these two.

Readers get ready because once you begin reading, you won’t want to stop!

Mercy was great. After that shocking ending to the first book I could not jump aboard fast enough. I loved how Jillian gave Zeek as good as she gotl! She did not fall at his feet and made him work for it, even in it was to get in her good graces. This was a solid story. I will add that the formatting was really problematic however. The point of view would change out of nowhere with no page break/ POV change. It definitely was confusing and took me out of the story. Overall, I loved this story and loved seeing Zeek and Jillian getting their hea. 4 stars! ~Ratula

5 SWEET MERCIFUL STARS


“Most things in life that cause the most damage sneak up on you like that, not giving much warning before it completely uproots your life destroying anything and everything you worked so hard for. Before you know it, love has impaled your soul, feeding it piece by piece to the bad boys we fall so stupidly for.”


M.N. Forgy has once again managed to blow my mind with this one. Zeek and Jillian’s story was epic and timeless. Their love wasn’t ordinary and that’s what made it so perfect.

Mercy showed no mercy what so ever to these characters. There wasn’t a moment they didn’t have to fight against those who wanted to bring them down.

Jillian’s road of self acceptance and learning the truth about her father wasn’t easy for her. Their was hate and love, but love is hard to fight and she soon realizes she can’t hate Zeek. Instead she proves to be badass outlaw in disguise and good cop as well. She’s a resilient and courageous woman who would do anything to protect her man.

Zeek.

He’s been a part of a dark and dangerous world all his life. That’s all he’s ever known and Jillian brought out the light and sun in him. I loved seeing that sensitive side to him. Watching him go through all these different emotions for the very first time with the woman who has become his whole world shows that even villains can show mercy and be redeemed.

He isn’t perfect, but who really wants that?

It’s boring in my opinion. Shrugs.

What to expect while reading?

Well, for one your mind will explode… just go boom. There’s lots of moments full of anticipation and nerve wrecking scenes. Of course there are the hot and sexy moments as well, but my favorite of all were the sweet moments between Zeek and Jillian where he would just hold her close to his chest while simply laying in bed.

This book will take you on a ride, delivering an epic conclusion to Zeek and Jillian’s story!

WOW! What a freaking rush! My heart won't stop pounding! MN Forgy delivers in the second installment of her Sin City Outlaws series. This explosive, sexy, dark, and all around forbidden love story had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. MERCY is a raw, sex infused, jacked up version of Romeo and Juliet that had my pulse pounding, my heart racing, and my jaw dropping with every turn of the page. I knew it would be hard to top REIGN, but GODDAMN this blew me away! M.N. Forgy is one of my GO TO authors for a good and gritty MC Romance, and she didn't disappoint AT ALL with MERCY! Don't miss out on this SEXY as SIN, action-packed, down and dirty thrill ride of a read!

If you haven't read Reign (Sin City Outlaws #1) then stop right now. Go read it and then come back. You'll thank me afterwards.

I've been dying to see what happens with Zeek and Jillian after Reign. Thankfully I didn't have to wait too long to get the rest of their story.

Mercy picks up exactly where Reign left off. I won't recap that just to be safe that it doesn't spoil anything for anyone. Zeek is the President of the Sin City Outlaw MC who fell in love with Jillian, a local Deputy Sheriff. They should have stayed away from each other but they couldn't. Due to dire circumstances, Zeek and Jillian are forced to be on the run. Unfortunately, due to what happens to make them have to run, there is very intense emotional damage between the two of them.

"How can you love and hate someone all at the same time? I love him so much that it fuels my hatred for this man."

Their journey in this conclusion is highly emotional, raw, turbulent and full of angst. Yet, you can't help rooting for them. Of course we want to root for the bad boy outlaw and the good girl Deputy Sheriff. We always want what we can't/shouldn't have.

In my review for Reign, I mentioned that I wanted more grit and assertiveness from Zeek. Well, I certainly got it in Mercy.

"He made this beast, fed this monster for years, and now he's about to see his masterpiece firsthand."

One of my favorite parts is the relationship between Zeek and his brother Lip. We learn a little of their backstory in Reign but we get to know more about their history and we meet Lip for the first time. I absolutely adore Lip and I hope we get his story!

Overall, I've really enjoyed their journey and look forward to more form M.N. Forgy!

Mercy, mercy me.  Holy hell, I thought Reign had all the action, it has nothing on Mercy.  I will admit I may have cussed Ms. Forgy out in my mind more than once when I finished that cliffhanger at the end of Reign, but Mercymakes up for it trust me.  Mercy starts off right where Reign leaves off, with Zeke and Jillian on the run.  Zeke, let me say this, he may be an outlaw and may be this hard ass bastard to other people, but to Jillian he is totally different.  He knows that he has dug his own grave when it comes to Jillian after what happened, but while he may have one foot in it, he still tries to not only earn Jillian’s forgiveness but her love as well.

Now Zeke had my heart in Reign, but now he has my heart, my panties, my soul, my panties.  Yes I am well aware that I said he has my panties twice, cause he is just seriously that fucking hot.  Jillian, while at times I may have wanted to slap her I understood why she was like she was and still loved her anyways.  If this author wrote an entire series about only these two I would read them all in a heartbeat.  I love how they balance each other out. 

I am in love with this series by M.N. Forgy!  I need more books from these dirty, sexy, badass bikers and I need more right this very moment!  I highly recommend not only Reign and Mercy but all of her other books as well, because you may or may not get a glimpse of some of my favorite bikers in her other series!

This is book 2 from the Mercy series and starts immediately after book 1, Reign ends.

And we all remember that ending don't we!!??

PE circle 400

Yup... Zeke and Jillian are on the run.  Jillian's cop father has just been murdered by Zeke and Jillian is being set up to take the fall.  To Jillian it feels more like a kidnapping since her senses are overloaded having just witnessed her fathers death, and she does not want anything to do with Zeke, yet can't get away.  Zeke is honestly just trying to save her, but where would your mind be in the same situation. You are in love with the man who murdered your father in front of you!  Brain in a blender!!

Zeke's uncle is after them and they are trying to stay one step ahead of that evil man.  This story gets so twisted with shocking reveals that Jillian just can't keep up.  Zeke never leaves her side though and makes sure to break through her walls to save her!

Jillian is currently on the run with Zeek. They end up getting help from an unlikely source. Some very interesting secrets come to light that shake Jillian's and Zeek's world to it's core. Jillian gets a reality check from none other then her mom about her idol. We find out why Zeek and Lip don't get along and it goes much deep then I thought. Then a bomb is drops and it changes everything for Jillian and Zeek.

The book takes off right where the last book ended. Just like the other book this was filled with so much action. It not be a boring book that is to say the least. There was a cringe worthy moment that I think all the ladies will agree with me. It just felt straight up wrong. Other then that moment I enjoyed every moment o this book. They are not you normal couple but they just work together.

Note to the Author: I couldn't help but notice that the way the book ended, should we keep an eye out for another book?

My Mercy Review . . .


It hasn't been that long but I almost forgot how Reign ended.  After refreshing myself I was excited to see if Zeek and Jillian were able to get themselves out of the mess they were in. 


Mercy starts off exactly where Reign ends with Jillian very upset and pissed off.  And deservedly so.  Now Zeek has to keep Jillian safe and at the same time get her to forgive him, which won't be an easy feat with them on polar opposite sides of the law.



I fear for her, 'cause when she's finally done being mad at me I may actually rip her in two with all the pent up possessive energy I'm harboring. 


Jillian is a black and white type of woman.  She knows right from wrong.  But with Zeek he's grey and falls in between everything.  How can she honor or badge and love an outlaw?



"I got mommy problems, and you got daddy issues.  No wonder the sex is off the charts,"


Now that Zeek has chosen Jillian over his club he goes back to the only place he can think of.  Which is the place he's most NOT welcome to.  With one last hope that his real brother will finally come through for him, Zeek pleads his case MC style.




Seeing the Devil's Dust MC, Zeek realizes what his club has been lacking.  Brotherhood and loyalty.  If they survive this, he vows to take back the club and change it to what it always should have been.



"What's a brother for if you can't rely on him to help steal your cop girlfriend back from an insane family member who is part of the Mafia?"


Even though Jillian and Zeek should seem so wrong for each other, they aren't.  Instead they just fit together.  Their chemistry is through the roof and together they have to find a way to balance both of their lives outside of themselves if they want to make it work.

Is this darkest MC book I have read?  NO, but it is still gritty and good.  Will I read more from this series?  Absolutely, and when I have time I also want to read the Devil's Dust series as well.  I wasn't sure how Zeek and Jillian's story was going to end, but I liked the conclusion and we are still left with some unanswered elements that keeps us hooked for more from this series.

3.5 stars. This book was just ok for me. I thought that Zeek and his brother would have more of a story line and the 2 mc's intertwine more than what they did. I'm on the fence if I will read book 3.

So, I guess there will probably be a death match between Sin City Outlaws (particularly with Zeek) and Cross in the succeeding books? Okay, I might pick up the rest of the books in the series when I'm in the mood for some MC romance ('cause right now I don't).

PS: It's not the book, it's me, but I've been suffering from a book slump for the past two weeks. It seems no book excites and haunts me.

A sheriff.
A criminal.
Running.

*Please keep your hands and feet in the car at all times. Annnnd. Enjoy your ride*

After a hefty cliffhanger we are given the next adventure for Jillian and Zeek.

And a ride is definitely what we get. Both are on the run from the law and Zeek’s uncle. Each going against their own “clubs”. It is crazy what love can make you do. These two are truly in love. Their differences have brought them together and they are on a path to fight for their lives.

Jillian sees Zeek in what is really his element as an outlaw. She is taken aback at how someone she loves can be this way when facing danger but yet be so different with her. As any person would, she questioned if she can trust him after what he has done. How could she not? I was conflicted just reading it. It came to a point that Jillian just had to woman up and realize that she would have to get her hands dirty to save her life and Zeek’s. This woman is strong and fights with all that she has. You go girl!

“I just need time to process everything before I go climbing back on Cock-a-saurus Rex.”

Zeek is on true edge. Each move he has to make right so that they make it out alive. Which means that he has to make a few decisions that he does not want to. The main one seeking help from his brother. The journey that gets them there is filled with looking over his shoulder and just making it to his Brother. That is right, he seeks help from the long lost brother that despises him. Obviously, they did not get the warmest of welcomes. Ya know, gunshots, punches, kicks, such fun! Pride blooms for him when he sees that Jillian is fighting not for herself but him.

“Our attraction was a mistake from the beginning, when that desire grew into love it became punishing.

The love and attraction for these two is still so apparent. It is what keeps them going.
They want that peace and safety for each other. There is also no shortage of Zeek and his oh so glorious dirty mouth and his skills that he bestows upon Jillian. Lucky, lucky girl!

“You have no need to be jealous, baby. You're the one I'm going to be with at night, you're the one I love, and you're the one I'm about to fuck.”


Both have things to lose and neither are use to this feeling.
Loss of truth
Loss of base.
Loss of life.
Loss of love.

But they had so much to gain as well.
Gain of truth.
Gain of base.
Gain of life.
Gain of love.

“Mine. Both of you,” he whispers in his sleep.”

There was a game of tennis between them with will they stay alive, what will happen next and the main volley was is this worth it. So much is going on from one page to the next. Whether it was fighting for their lives from others, fighting for their love or just simply being. I was on the edge of my seat cheering for these two so that their passionate love for each other made it through.

Have Mercy! *in my uncle Jesse voice*

**Josie's Review 4.5 STARS**

After the whopper of a cliffhanger we were left off with in book #1, I’ll be honest and say I have been less than patient. Please make sure you have read the first book in the Sin City Outlaws series prior to reading this review, it can contain spoilers.

Ms. Forgy picks up Mercy right where she left readers at the end of Reign with Zeek and Jillian running from the law and from Zeek’s uncle. Let me just say this was one heck of a ride. Emotions are running high and trust is shattered. This book and the characters will have you hooked. It is full of grit, angst, turmoil, drama and plenty biker love to keep you going to very last page. I found that Mercy was darker and way hotter than Reign.

Jillian is a mess in this book, she no longer trust’s Zeek and rightfully so, she just witnessed him murder a man in cold blood. She knew being with an outlaw was trouble, but to witness this firsthand puts him in a different light in her eyes. One that was cold and dark.

Zeek is a different man, ok sort of. He is still cold, rough and an outlaw but the difference is Jillian. Zeek is not willing to let any harm come to her. He is willing to do anything to keep her safe, even seeking help from his estranged brother and sworn enemies. He is in utter turmoil witnessing the devastation and distrust brewing within Jillian and wants to make amends. He is a force of nature, one that will not rest until he gives Jillian the peace she deserves.

There was so much inner turmoil between these characters. Zeek for once was nervous and scared of what he could lose. Something a man of his stature never felt before. He had a determination unlike we never saw in the first book. It was not easy for him to seek the help of his sworn enemies but for Jillian he risked it all.

They both had to ask themselves if their love was worth it with all the conflict and drama they were facing. Before the two can find their HEA there were demons to be slayed, an MC to get back at, a brother and the Devils Dust MC to win over and for the law to catch the right guy! Talk about no pressure. There was so much action in this book, it just would not stop. My heart was constantly racing and my panties needed to get changed just as much. Zeek and Jillian’s story was perfect. I was so happy to see them grow in this book. We see a different side to Zeek that I loved. One where he is not afraid to show his love for Jillian all the while still being a bad ass. If you have not read this series you seriously need to pick it up. I am really hoping this is series isn’t over yet. I am waiting to see what else this author will bring to the table for the Sin City Outlaw MC.

I’m an outlaw. I don’t fall in love and I sure as fuck don't run... Until Jillian McAdams.
I fell for a law abiding Sheriff, breaking my vows to my own club, and turning her against her family of blue.
An outlaw and a sheriff, it can only end in one way… Mayhem.
Now we both have to pay the ultimate price for betraying our families.
I swore to kill my brother, his allegiance sworn to another club, if I ever saw him again.
Yet here I am running to him in hopes to save Jillian’s life…
We both will have to rewrite the rules we know to stay alive.
Even if it means we lose everything we had in doing so…


Review:
“‘You make me weak, a starving man willing to do anything for his next fix. And eventually…’ I move in between her legs, occupying her space. Her mouth parts as she takes in a sharp audible breath. ‘You’re going to destroy me from the inside out.’”

5 mercy me stars!! M.N. Forgy has done it again…. She’s made me obsess over a fictional character and I don’t care who knows it!

Zeek and Jillian….ugh, one of my favorite book couples ever! They are explosively hot together!! I have fallen in love with this series and I loved the way it ended! It’s intense and edgy, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! I love all of M.N.’s book and this is no exception!! Great job!
