Publisher's summary

New York Times best-selling author Julie Garwood takes listeners from New Orleans' exclusive Garden District to the backwoods of Louisiana's mysterious bayou country in an unforgettable novel of passion and suspense that cuts straight to the heart.

When esteemed Justice Department attorney Theo Buchanan is struck ill at a New Orleans gala, Dr. Michelle Renard works fast to save his life. Soon, Theo finds himself in a race to save her when Michelle is targeted by a deadly crime ring. They call themselves the Sowing Club, a devious foursome driven by greed to accumulate millions in a secret bank account. Now they're dead set on silencing Michelle, who might know the secret behind the killing of one of their wives. Dodging a world-class hit man and a band of cunning criminals, Michelle and Theo walk a narrow path between passion and survival.

Story was great but the accent she used was awful

Would you listen to Mercy again? Why?

I would but the accent she used for all the Louisiana characters (Marianne and the dad) was grating. Like so bad I'm sure I missed some story because I had to skip.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Mercy?

I loved all the Michelle and Theo scenes.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The Louisiana accent for pretty much everything. When the club members were talking when she said "character said" her voice went suddenly flat. Very annoying.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed.

Good story

I really enjoyed the story, which is a good thing, or I might not have made it through. The reader's accents were horrendous, and really lessened my enjoyment of the book.

Great Story

My interest was captured right away. This book reminds me of Lisa Jackson Bentz and Montoya series in New Orleans. The author tells a great story without all the written porn. I
enjoy a good romance but get tired of all the explicit sex scenes in books. Seems like the authors fill in with this when they are short on ideas.
Absolutely recommend this book.

Loved the narration and laugh out loud story.

Traister is a fantastic narrator. Her accents of Cajun and Boston were wonderful and added greatly to the enjoyment.

Suspense will pull you in

I really enjoyed this book as much as the first book. I love how the author has enough suspense to keep you eager for what is next. Theo is a great character and I enjoyed his interaction with the small town people. if you like thrillers with a little romance mixed in, check out this series. This was book 2.

Love ❤️ 5 stars

Loved this book! The narrator, Christina Traister, was outstanding! She is my favorite female narrator. The story had a little bit of everything to keep you listening.

One of my favorites of Julie Garwoods

This one has touches of humor and the narrator is one of the best. I have to say my favorite of the Buchanan men
