What a wonderful book to complete the Salacious Players Club series. No flops, all bops. 

I ate this book up. Maggie is by far my favorite FMC from the series. She’s always been so aloof and mysterious I just loved getting to know her a bit better. Beau had such a wonderful, and well-deserved, redemption arc. I really saw Beau in a new light. Because yeah, he’s fucked up a lot in the past, but there is a lot of unfair pressure on him to just be okay with everything happening in his life and to just grin, bear it, and move on.

This is the only book that’s age gap didn’t give me the ick. One point Sara Cate!

This book did make me dislike Charlie a bit, but honestly she was already my least favorite of the FMC’s. She put a lot of unfair expectations on Beau. I like Praise but I cringe at her and Emerson’s excessive PDA.

This book’s biggest offensive: why in the ever loving fuck would Maggie take Charlie/Emerson’s safe word? The ex-girlfriend and FATHER of Beau?? That’s so weird and it’s not explained at all.  HUH??????? I love the title Mercy but come on now 😭
