| Kyli is a mercenary who's been gone on various harsh assignments for years. She's finally come back to the place where it all started, and is ready to settle down after a close call in the field. She's applied for a job with the force, but when it comes back rejected she knows she will have no choice but to go back out and become a Merc again. Depressed, she's ready for one last fling before she goes back to her rough life, and when a mysterious note shows up asking her to meet at an old hangout, she decides to give it a try. After all, what does she have to loose? There's more to gain than she thought, when she looks up and sees not one but both of her old lovers.
Merc and Her Men is a sexy romp that starts fast and just keeps on going. I really thought that it was just going to be about the three of them, but it doesn't quite end up that way. Max and Kyli were deeply in love all those years ago, and through a series of misunderstanding and youthful stubbornness didn't stay together. Kyli is one tough woman, who's made it in a rough job that takes skill and bravery. Her enjoyment of the plans her two old flames have for her doesn't lessen or change her feelings for either one of them. I learned to like all three of them, and I can't wait to see what happens to Gregor when he finally meets his match. I liked Kyli for her no nonsense attitude, and Max and Gregor were typical alpha males. The sex has a little bit of BDSM and some kinky stuff thrown in, but nothing too off the rails. If you want to try something a little different from the norm, give Merc and Her Men a try, you won't regret it.
