Their Bounty
(Four Mercenaries #1)
by KA Merikan
Blurb
--- Taken. Prized. Possessed. Loved. ---Clover is an orphan and has led a tough and chaotic life. No stability. No money. No friends. He trusts no one.
His already miserable life takes a nosedive when he ends up in the hands of a human trafficking gang. Someone has placed a request for a young albino man, and Clover is to become the property of a mysterious buyer who will stop at nothing to satisfy their depraved desire. Clover’s fate seems sealed until four bounty hunters appear to take out his captors and accidentally save him.
The four mercenaries want to move on, but when Clover pleads for protection, they offer it to him at a price. In the beginning, the arrangement is all kinds of shady, but as he gets to know the four men who’ve taken him on a wild ride, his developing feelings might become as dangerous as the elusive buyer.
But can a relationship with four such different men even work? Men who kill for a living? Men so full of contradictions?
Tank. The massive ex-soldier eager to be Clover’s Daddy.
Pyro. Wild, tattooed, with a filthy mouth and an itch for violence.
Boar. Ginger, bearded, a big teddy bear who can turn into a grizzly.
Drake. Dark and dangerous, with a tongue as sharp as his knives.
Can these men provide him with the love and security he craves? Or has Clover made the worst mistake of his life?

Review
My Rating - 4.5 Stars!
Their Bounty, the first book in KA Merikan's Four Mercenaries series, is amazing!
Oh Clover, sweet, sweet Clover. We meet Clover when's saved by the mercenaries. What follows is an intense relationship between Clover and his men. And in between those moments, there's plenty of suspense, action, danger, and lots of sex.
As an albino, someone is after Clover, wanting him as a possession. His unique looks make him a valuable asset.
One of my favorite aspects of this tale is that two of the men really don't get along. This makes things extra interesting once Clover becomes a part of their group.
Although heavy on the sex scenes, there is so much more to this tale. Each men is completely different, with Clover managing to develop a relationship with each of them. It's touching and full of love.
And one of the sweetest things is the reason behind Clover's name.
Their Bounty definitely delivers on the steamy scenes, while also gifting the reader with a thrilling action read. It's definitely a unique and emotional tale.

--- Loved. Protected. Shattered. ---
Clover has found love with not one man, but four. He never imagined such a relationship could work, let alone that he’d be at the center of it, but a year later, his bond with the four mercenaries is stronger than ever.
Each man in Clover’s life completes him in a whole different way. Where Drake teaches him shibari, Boar always showers him with cuddles. Where Tank is strict and protective, Pyro takes Clover on wild adventures.
To truly become a part of the mercenary crew, Clover chose to train under the guidance of his men. He’s itching for action to prove to himself and to others that he can handle the toughest jobs.
But through violence and mayhem, Clover will be tried in ways he never wished for. Old enemies resurface, bonds are tested, and one wrong move can mean death.

My Rating - 5 Stars!
Their Obsession picks up a year after Their Bounty leaves off. And to my surprise, the description of the time since The Bounty and the beginning of this story is a true delight, full of wonderful humor. Clover in Mickey Mouse ears? Omg, yes!
Clover has been trained, and trained some more, to join this band of mercenaries. As they finally have him working along side them, it's tough to let the young Clover be in danger.
The relationship is getting even better. Clover's still at his men's mercy, he calls Tank "Daddy", and he's as sweet as ever. But, wow, the sex. Yes, the sex gets even better. If you didn't already realize, this book contains a lot of sex. But it's Clover's individual relationships with each man that amazes me.
As I'd expect, the story is dark, the events intense, and I was on the edge of my seat often. But there's also a good dose of humor, including a hysterical cum cocktail that had me in stitches.
Not wanting to give away the storyline, I'll just say Their Obsession is amazing and not for the faint of heart. Words cannot express the level of danger in this one. Definitely set some time aside for this one, as you won't want to put it down. And, oh, what a cliffhanger. I need book three now!
