4.5 Stars. Okay, this is a novella so there isn't much back story, but what there is is sufficient enough for me to give me the needed information of relationships, connections or lack there of. I actually wish there was more story development just to add more layers to the story because I thought it was good. I just wanted more which is why it's not five full stars.

But all that to say that when Kailey finally gets together with both Trigger and Bullet (interesting and subliminal nicknames), the sex is H.O.T. I wasn't expecting what happened.

I loved Kailey Whitmore. She was super smart, sassy and sexy at the same time. A lethal combination. I loved how the popular girls, specifically Jennifer, wanted what Kailey ended up with, but was so dumb she didn't even pick up on what the relationship was. Not like Sara Beth and Heather did.

When Kailey returns to her home town for her class reunion, she's a little apprehensive because she's scandalously and recently divorced from her philandering husband who may be go to jail for embezzlement and fraud. When her childhood crush and all around Jock and popular guy Trig "Trigger" Morgan approaches her at the bar. He tells her he had a crush on her when he was a kid and Kailey doesn't believe him. She thinks she's being punked. But decides to take the plunge and go for it.

After an incredible night together, she leaves him for a meeting, doing the "walk of shame" out of the hotel and garnering the attention of Robert (Bobby) "Bullet" Brady, NFL superstar and Trig's childhood best friend. We discover there is a backstory there which has strained their friendship a bit. I would have liked to know more about that, but you get the gist as things progress. It turns out that Trig and Bullet used to share women through high school, college and into adulthood. But things have changed and Trigger doesn't want to share Kailey. Bullet pushes them both and soon they are all in bed together with hot and enticing results.

They figure out that they meet each others needs in more ways than one and can be a family.

You have to suspend belief that this type of relationship could be kept secret for five years with one of them being in the public eye. But, I was willing just to have the fantasy that it could be real.

Yowza... This was scorching hot for me. I will definitely check out Mercy's other titles. She should write bigger story with more layers. I think she would do really well.
