The Mercy Sisters: Love Delivered
Olivia Mercy believes there is much more to life than what you can offer the world. Despite being from the notable Mercy Family, she'd much rather defy expectations -- including who she dates. Except she can't find the nerve to introduce who she is dating to her parents and instead keeps him a secret.
Coming from a family of lawyers, Shawn Carter wants to uphold the family legacy. His goal of becoming a partner at the firm outweighs anything else. Unfortunately for him, that also means he has little time to date. The partners at his law firm believe they should all demonstrate a work-life balance. So Shawn has to replace his late nights in the office with something else.
When they meet, Olivia and Shawn agree that a fake relationship will help them accomplish their goals. He's exactly who her parents expect her to bring home. She's a woman he can show off at the company happy hour.
What happens when her secret compromises his goal?

The one living the double life....
Mrs. Nichole, I have to say you wrapped this series up well. It is ironic because I couldn't really get a read on Liv in the first two books. She was focused on her zen and matching energies until she was practically invisible. Olivia was the real "wild card" of the three sisters. She was living a whole double life in those Rolling Hills streets. I was thoroughly surprised but it made for a great read. I was glad when she was finally able to get out of the entangled web of "Johnny." "Johnny" was doing more than being a starving artist. However, I have to say Mama Mercy was right. She was three for three on matching her daughters with their significant others. Shawn was the man for Liv and it was funny that he had all the characteristics she liked in "Johnny." Liv came in and changed Shawn's life as well. He went from a bachelor to sort of a relationship to being locked down. I knew the facade that he and Liv tried would fall through one or the other would eventually catch feelings. Shawn was all the man that Liv needed in her life, he had an established successful career and was ready for love. He was also a family man because he did not play about his sister. I loved when he had the epiphany about what mattered in his life and he realized having someone in your corner to share your dreams with trumps having an accomplished career single.
This is a magnificent read, and you will love how the Mercy sisters series ends. Olivia was the "baby" of the three but she was the firecracker. She was living a life that her sisters nor parents had a clue about. Mama Mercy hit it out of the park with Shawn. Shawn was the total package for Olivia. Mrs. Nichole feel free to give us a novella or something updating the three sisters. I would love to know if the family expanded anymore. It would be great to read about any new career changes as well. If you have not read about any of the three sisters I strongly suggest you do. They all are unique in their way. Their meddling mother was nosy enough to make sure they met their husbands. Grab your copy and leap into the Mercy family.

The story made me smile
Olivia and Shawn started with a fake relationship and ended in love. The different thing in this story was how the author skillfully plotted their relationship. Both Olivia and Shawn haled from wealthy parents. Her dad was a retired football player, and her mom was a well-known natural products business owner. And his parents were high-profile attorneys. The couple made it to their place of happiness after a few rough turns. The sister's connection was the selling point. Shawn and Olivia's love story was the sweet stuff. The story was marvelous.

Do I Need Love?
2.5 Stars
As much as I wanted to know about the youngest sister, Olivia, or Liv as called my most, I can't say I overly enjoyed this book. While it was a decent read, it was a bit all over the place. There were a ton of twist and turns and honestly, it was a bit much.
I was always a bit confused by Livs' "exchange of energy' kick she was on. If you're Zen, be Zen, yet she just seemed lost. She literally said she was trying to be 'Grown' and not have her mother pick a man for her, then she turns around and fakes a whole relationship with the man her mom in fact picked for her, to prove her mother wrong when it "goes wrong"...yeah, real grown😒. Then, she's sneaking around with white, wanna be thug of an artist whom gets her caught up and almost gets her sent to jail, over some subpar sex and weed...again, sounds super grown to me🤦🏾♀️🤨. I really didn't understand Olivia, like at all. She has a really good life that she's worked hard to have, even with her father being an ex NFL player and her mom is a Beauty cosmetics legend. Love literally is a catch, yet she's trying so hard to run fr something, rather than just speak her mind. Although her mom was pushy, I think had she had a grown up discussion with her parents, it would've faired better than how things went down. Liv was a mess and she's truly not my fav Mercy sister🤷🏾♀️.
I liked Shawn. I was a bit confused as to why he was running from his families law firm. He could've worked there, them branched off on his own eventually. I did love the family his bond had, especially his with his sister Tai. I was glad, even with all that could happen with him career wise, that he decided to be with Liv. He handled the pregnancy like a man in Love and moved accordingly after. I hope they live and Love for many years to come.
It was nice to see the other Mercy sisters in this one too.
From the weed/sex man to the fake relationship, to the real relationship, to the break up, to the make up, to the baby to the marriage...this was one rollercoaster ride for sure.
Ok read.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I truly enjoyed Olivia’s story. She was a lot like her oldest sister, being determined not to have anything to do with any man Mama Mercy selected for her. That included Attorney Shawn Carter, the man Mama Mercy, had selected to be her dated for her thirtieth birthday dinner.
When I say I was saw outdone when Olivia changed out of her evening clothes the night of her party and decided she was going to fly to Fiji instead, and to top it off when Shawn showed up to take her to dinner., he ended up taking her to the airport instead 🤦🏽♀️
Upon her return from Fiji, the two entered into an contractual agreement to participate in a fake dating relationship, that eventually turned out to be a real waste of time😂 but than again maybe not.
This wonderful story brings a lot to the table as what looks like the end of this “ The Mercy Sisters “series . So get yourself a glass of wine or your favorite beverage and enjoy as you follow Olivia and Shawn’s exciting journey to discovering love and what is truly important in life
Thank you J.Nicole I have truly enjoyed this series❤️

Mama’s know it all!
Listen- I wish I had a Mama Mercy! She is the real MVP in all 3 books! This story was especially interesting to me. Liv was the secretive, earthly- wildcard! Shawn was goal driven and bored out of his overworked mind- no social life at all! When the heart knows what it wants- there is nothing that will keep them apart- including a money laundering, drug dealing ex! 😂😂 This story was super cute! I am so glad they got it together after faking it! Team Carter! Oh- and the mention of the red bird had me tear up a bit! Anyways- I recommend this one as a quick and sweet read. Little to no real drama! 5 stars!

You can’t stop fate
I loved this book and the entire series. All the Mercy sisters were unique in their own right and supported each other like none other. Olivia and Shawn went through some ups and downs but fate won and they made it and their connection was so cute. Olivia spoke life into Shawn and his dreams and he showed her the love she didn’t know she was missing. This series is a definite must read.

Mama Mercy strikes again
Olivia and Shawn were not on each other’s radar. But good ol’ Mama Mercy was on another one of her match making by 30 missions and Olivia was next on her list. What started as fake grew and how could it not when they meshed so organically. I knew there was something skept about Johnny besides him being a sneaky link. I need Mama Mercy to hook me up, lol. I’ve loved all the Mercy Sisters stories and I’m glad Olivia’s can now be added to that list.

All Love
This book is amazing. I love this story more than the other 2. Shawn is the best example of a real man. Not sure if it’s because it had been a minute since I read the others but this by far was the best one. Keep writing and I will keep reading. You are a truly gifted writer.

This was my favorite of the series even though Liv was confused and conflicted despite her oneness with the Universe. I knew she'd have some mess with her since she was so secretive.
All in all, the series was just ok as far as the romances went. What I appreciated the most were the family ties.

Loved this finale in the Mercy sisters trilogy. We moved to the 3rd sister Olivia. She was fighting finding love and was going to try a fake relationship with Shawn. Then the relationship turns into something real. Great ending to a fun trilogy.

Awesome Love Story
I love the way the two came back to each other. An independent woman discovered she didn't have to stop being who she was because she had a man in her life. A workaholic man carving out time for a social life and ending up opening his heart to love

Love It!!
I think Liv is my favorite sister because I can relate, being the youngest and my family thinking I can’t make a sound decision on my own. And also wanting my business to be my own. And Shawn is the perfect compliment. I love how love prevails!!

I really enjoyed this book just as much as the others and I liked the twist she put on it with her Johnny situation amongst other things. Kind of predictable in the end but still a great read.

soul connected
Liv and Shawn connected on another level. Liv’s story wasn’t just about finding one self but looking deep within and live in your moment.
