Zero's Mercy

Merciless Few MC - Maryland Chapter #1

by Linny Lawless

Zero earned his name because when it comes to showing mercy, he has none. As the President of the Merciless Few MC Maryland Chapter – the National chapter – he has gained the loyalty and respect of his brothers. Each of them follows his lead, and they serve a cold dish of vengeance to their enemies. When Zero’s path crosses with the feisty, foul-mouthed, and very sexy mechanic named Charlie, who has gotten herself into a whole lot of trouble and is now on the hit list of another MC, she reminds him of something he’d long forgotten. Mercy is not only for the weak—it’s needed when the woman you love is in danger.

FANTASTIC!!

This is the first in the Merciless Few MC Maryland Chapter and Zero is the Prez along with Tack who is SAR of this MC. Tack is contacted by his step sister who he hasn’t seen in years but he is the only one who Charlie can turn to when a biker from another MC uses her as his punching bag. She’s had enough and knows that Defcon will kill her next time.

Right away Zero knows that this woman needs help and with his past coming into play there is no way he will turn Charlie away from the club when Tack asks for her protection. There was plenty of MC action, secrets and steam that made this a real page turner. I am totally hooked and can’t wait for the next book by this author.

A great start to a new series! Zero & Charlie are great together. I do wish it had been longer and hope we get more of their story.
Charlie comes to her brother for help from an abusive relationship. She grabs Zero’s attention. Her ex, Defcon, keeps coming around and things get pretty heated. There’s plenty of action and drama in this book. I loved it!

Zero's Mercy: Merciless Few MC - Maryland Chapter by Linny Lawless is the beginning of another intense, hot suspenseful series with a storyline and characters that will pull you in from beginning to end with MC drama and plenty of steamy moments. Zero is the President of the MFMC Chapter, his name tells it all as he shows no mercy to his enemies.

Once Zero learns that her ex is a member of the RBMC - DC and that Charlie has proof that he has been doing things against his club he and the Merciless Few MC vote to protect her. When Defcon arrives at the clubhouse wanting Charlie, Zero confronts him and tells him they are ready for the RBMC. With danger headed towards them, Zero will reach out to Heavy, President of the RBMC-DC explaining what Defcon has been doing, and learns that Defcon is working alone and that Heavy is looking for him and that his club wants to deal with him.

Finally Charlie will give into the feelings she has for Zero as the chemistry between them is too strong to deny. As these two begin an intense passionate, steamy relationship, Zero vows to destroy anyone who comes after the woman he loves. Charlie now finds herself in danger when confronted by Defcon, she will find the strength to do the unthinkable to save herself. Recovering from her ordeal she is working towards her healing with Zero's love and the family she has found with the Merciless Few MC as the threat of war between the RBMC-DC has been avoided. So many questions still need to be answered about Zero's sister who he desperately wants to find, will Mammoth be the one to find her? This story had it all suspense, danger, violence and most of all a heartfelt love between Zero and Charlie. Can't wait for the next book in this ride or die series as once again Linny Lawless allows her readers to become one with the characters she writes about.

Immediately fell in love with Charlie & Zero! Want more of the Merciless Few MC - Maryland Chapter!

Instantly felt a connection with Charlie and just as quickly fell in love with Zero!

Charlie is in an abusive relationship with Defcon, a member of the Royal B@st@rds MC, who cheats and beats on her. Charlie finally has enough and after making a plan she successfully gets away from Defcon.

Charlie runs to the only man she thinks can protect her - her stepbrother Tack, an enforcer with the Merciless Few MC, Maryland Chapter. Tack introduces her to the president of his MC, Zero.

Zero has experienced loss in his life, but he feels lucky to have a beautiful woman like Charlie walk into his clubhouse and he's ready to protect her at all costs.

I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up Zero's Mercy. I read a post about it on Facebook and I liked the cover model so I decided to give it a chance and I am very happy I did. The writer immediately drew me into the story and made me care about both main characters. I also learned just enough about the lives of the other characters to hope that the author will want to share more stories in this world. I especially want to know if Zero ever finds his sister and if she and Mammoth will get together.

Zero's Mercy is a quick read with lovable characters and a page turning story! I really hope there will be more in the MFMC - Maryland Chapter.

Entertaining!

Linny Lawless brought us a story in the Merciless Few world feauturing Zero, the President of the Maryland Chapter and the stepsister of one of the brothers, a 'damsel (temporary) in distress' because of her deranged former partner, a member of another MC

It was an entertaining tale in a very lighter tone regarding the MC genre, with a slew of some great supporting characters and a good dynamic between the protagonists and the surrounding environment.

It's a simple story with good moments and an original concept, the one of the bounty hunting as legitimate activity that was refreshing and different. As well, it's those kind of narratives that picks your curiosity regarding the secondaries' lives and future, ones I hope we'll ge getting the opportunity to experience too!

A quick read and palate cleansing!.

[Merry Jelks-Emmanuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story runs the gamut of emotions from the first to the last page! Charlie flees from an abusive relationship to find her stepbrother and ask for help. It will start her journey to healing. When she and Zero connect sparks ignite and after he hear her story, he takes it upon himself to ensure her safety along with his MC brothers. This story has triggers of violence and may be a hard read for some, but it is a touching story that shows the caliber of a strong man and the depth he will go to keep his woman safe. It also shows the strength of Charlie and the courage to leave an abusive relationship to save herself.

Fantastic Romantic Suspense. This is a beautifully written exciting story full of revenge/vengeance, suspense, danger, drama, anger, fear, action, abuse, and steamy romance.  Charlie is running from Defcon's abuse to her step-brother Tack who is Sgt. At Arms of the Merciless Few MC.  Tack brings Charlie to his President, Zero who is willing to give her protection.  Their attraction is immediate.  I loved how strong and courageous Charlie is and How determined and protective Zero is.  I also loved how loyal and supportive the Merciless Few brothers are.  Will Zero and the Merciless Few be able to keep Charlie safe from Defcon and will they go to war with the Royal Bastards MC?  This is a great start to a new series and I can not wait to hear more of this series.

[Phyllis Wolford · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great story. The characters were instantly attracted to each other, but were cautious about their feelings.
Charli was running for her life and ran to the only person she could, her step brother. When she showed up, and the president,Zero, saw how beat up she was, he gave her sanctuary and vowed to help her and to protect her.
Zero, is hit by lightning when he sees Charli, and tries to give her time to recover from being abused.
They quickly come together and their feelings soon mess and they become inseparable from each other. The Royal Bastards come for her abuser, but Charli took him out, and that stopped a war before it began.

[Siobhan D · Rating 5 out of 5]

Warn you now, have a box of tissues ready.
Charlie is in abuse relationship, find the strength to leave and finds her stepbrother and ask for help. It will start her journey to healing. As soon as Zero, sees how she has been abused, he gives her sanctuary and vowed to help her and to protect her. As she heals the sparks ignite .This story has triggers of violence and may be a hard read for some. Amazing strength and characters.

This is the first in a new series, and this is Zero and Charlie’s story. Zero is the president of his MC, and Charlie is on the run from an abusive ex, and heads to her stepbrother Tank. Zero is instantly attracted to Charlie, and he will do whatever he must to protect and keep her safe. This is a well written story which is action packed, with loyalty, vengeance, suspense, danger, drama, and is an entertaining and riveting page turner.

Zero's Mercy is a great intro to the hot new series Merciless Few MC. Zero is the President of the Merciless Few MC, Maryland Chapter. Charlie is the sexy mechanic who comes to her brother Tack for help and seems to have caught Zero's attention. She's running from trouble and it soon finds her. But the Merciless Few know how to handle business no matter what form it comes in. These characters give us an exciting, fast paced story. Can't wait for what's next for this series!

[Jeanette George · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed the character dynamic of this story the most. The story was fast paced and had a lot of moving parts that fit well together. I especially liked that Zero wasn't an alpha hole. Don't misunderstand I have love for alpha holes despite them being a lot at times, but it was a good change. Charlie, who admittedly goes through a lot, before she gets through it, but she's resilient and the type of heroine I love to see in fiction. This will be a good series to watch.

Zero Mercy: Merciless few MC- Maryland chapter

Zero and Charlie both had abusive childhoods. Charlie was in a very abusive relationship. She decides to leave her boyfriend and begin a new life. She meets Zero and start a great relationship, but she is afraid that her ex boyfriend wants to kill her. The storyline was amazing and begin with how much each character supported each other in this book.

[Raine · Rating 4 out of 5]

The overall storyline to this was great. I have some questions remain but I’m hoping that they will be answered following the Merciless Few MC in the future. Charlie is trying to escape an abusive relationship and called her step brother who is a Merciless Few MC brother. Zero the club president wants to help and is quickly taken by her. When things come to a boil point Zero is there to help Charlie.

I love this book. Linny Lawless gives us an awesome story between Zero and Charlie. Charlie is running from her ex who is abusive. She had run to her step brother who was in the Maryland Chapter of Merciless Few. The chemistry between Charlie and Zero was awesome. This book had me hooked from the beginning. I can’t wait to see what happens next. I love the brotherhood of the club. I highly recommend this book

Zero and Charlie

Wow! An adrenaline fueled nonstop action packed roller coaster ride to go on with the Merciless Few MC. My heart broke for Charlie on a personal level, I felt her fear, hatred and loss. Amongst all the chaos Zero and Charlie find something neither of them expected but definitely deserve. They fit perfectly together. I enjoyed everything about this story. Cannot wait to see what comes next.

[Jeanne · Rating 4 out of 5]

Charlie is hiding from her abusive ex DEFCON while her stepbrother Tack gets the Merciless Few to help keep her safe. She and the president Zero like each other right off. The whole crew is not what she is used to. Charlie and Zero move pretty quick once she moves on him while the guys deals with threats on her life and club politics. She also saves herself in the end.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. To escape Charlie has run to the Merciless Few MC and her step brother Tank. Zero is the prez there and falls hard and fast for her. It doesn't take her long to feel that connection with him. Their story is far from simple and has plenty of danger and vengeance. I liked both characters and look forward to what comes next for the MC members

[Debbie Earley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Holy cow from the minute I started this book I couldn't put it down. Zero and Charlie are the perfect fit for one another. Their story is action packed, steamy and left me wanting more of Zero and his men. I love that this Chapter is based in my state and I can't wait to see more of them in the future. Congratulations Linny I absolutely loved it.

One Of Her Best

I had forgotten who wrote this book. I liked the storyline of this book and the character development was good.

When I found out it was a Linny Lawless I knew why I liked it. Now to see if this is part of a series to find out more about the other members of the Merciless Few MC!

good read

This one is different from other MC books I have read. I can not really tell you why. I enjoyed the read; however, I didn’t really connect with the characters and don’t plan on reading more in the series. Don’t let my opinion stop you from giving this one a try.

Zero

Charlie had run away from her abusive relationship. She goes to her step brother for help and protection. There she meets Zero who is more than willing to help protect her and wants to be with her as well. These characters are easy to fall in love with.

Dnf

Made it to about the 40% mark and couldn't do it anymore. It's like the author cut and pasted every obligatory MC romance plot point into a word doc and called it a book. There's no lead up between points either. It's not good.

[Debra Floyd · Rating 5 out of 5]

Zero and Charlie’s story is very captivating. The biker stories always keep my interest.

Linny always does an excellent job in writing her books. She makes you feel as if you are a part of the story.
