Their lives entwine and the story unfolds. I kept wondering when the doctor was going to give in to her inner lust. Mercy turned out to be a great suspense with both the love story and the mysterious bad guys. I couldn't tell that it was the second of a series. I'm ready to read more! (  ) JudyLynn | Sep 22, 2008 |  Both the cover and the jacket blurb on this book leads one to think it is a mystery/thriller. But it turns out to be a romance novel in disguise. Garwood writes a great deal like Nora Roberts and her story unfolds with much the same sort of "formula" writing as is typical in that genre. So I was a little disappointed in it, thinking I was going to read a mystery and winding up with a lot more sexual content than I anticipated, and for that reason I'll have to rate it a 3. Rating it as a romance novel, though, it would probably have gotten a 4. I thought it was a bit of dirty pool to have such a misleading blurb. (  ) madamejeanie | Sep 21, 2008 | This was an amazing book! It was an absolute page-turner, I couldn't put it down! The characters were great--with a twist that blew my mind!! I literally was flipping around the book like mad, I couldn't believe it!--the story was great, and the writing was fantastic! Julie Garwood at her finest! ( ) madamemeow | Jan 6, 2008 | I really enjoy Julie Garwood books because of her sense of humor. She makes her characters fun. This book is about a group of four people that get caught up in greed. They belong to "The Sowing Club". An attorney with the Justice Dept. gets ill and a beautiful doctor from a small town (Bowman) saves his life. He decides to pay her a visit just after her clinic is broken into. Thinking there is more to the break-in than a prank, he calls in his FBI friend to assist and before you know it they are involved in the town and chasing crooks and killers. This book hooked me right away and I hated to see it end. ( ) DunnFunKat | Sep 3, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
But Theo can't stop thinking about Mike and her little hometown on the bayou. After concluding an investigation and trial that brings down a powerful organized crime syndicate, Theo receives several death threats and his boss recommends he keep a low profile. What better place to go incognito than Bowen, Louisiana, where the catfish practically throw themselves at your fishing pole and where a certain pretty young doctor is opening her new practice? But when Theo arrives, he finds life in Bowen isn't quite as idyllic as he thought. Someone has ransacked Mike's new office and seems dead set on harming her. As Theo struggles to protect Mike, he uncovers a ring of upper-crust criminals willing to do anything, even murder, to keep their dirty little secret--all $40 million of it--from being discovered. What connection could they possibly have to Mike? And why does everyone under the age of 18 keep calling Theo "Coach"? Join perennial favorite Garwood on a journey into the quirky, close-knit communities of the Louisiana bayou and the journey a man and woman devoted to their careers undertake as they fall passionately in love. --Alison Trinkle
