Review: Cross & Merri
Rating: 4 out of 5

These books surprisingly don't have a lot of sex in them, a ton of drama for sure, almost too much to follow. Cross is a gorgeous man who was injured in a motorcycle accident caused by his enemies. He has dirt on his father that he has been sitting on for a year, and the accident was just a threat to let him know that his enemies are watching him. The evidence shows that his father had a mistress who was sent into the sex slave business in Mexico. Missy King is her alliance, Meredith is her given name, but she calls herself Merri. In Mexico she fled from a drug lord Jesus and is hiding out in a convent learning to be a massage therapist to injured children. It takes a lot of guts for Cross to try to rescue Merri, especially since his one hand is almost useless after the accident. And one night Cross has a serious pain attack, almost like a seizure, and Merri knows exactly how to treat his body to help him overcome his pain. You can tell from this experience together that their dynamic changes. Cross is positive that Merri is a victim, that she is a wonderful person. He also knows he is lying to her about who he is and he is seriously attracted to her. Jesus comes back to the US to haunt these two and luckily Cross is able to save the day. Merri and Cross know they shouldn't be together with their connected history but they are so into each other! I would have loved to have read more about their relationship, especially their physical connection but we are left hanging. I hope to read more about this couple in the 3rd book because their chemistry is incredible! I totally fell in love with Cross - a playboy in the past, but once he meets Merri he is soft & gentle and super hot, a real hero!
