Ruthless People is the 1st in a 4 book series. It’s about a very bloody and deadly merger of two powerful mafia families. It’s about a power struggle and f*** fest between a prodigal son and a mafia heiress.
The Callahan’s (Irish mafia family) and the Giovanni’s (Italian mafia family) merge through the marriage of Liam Callahan and Melody Giovanni to ensure power and world domination. Melody is the final piece of the puzzle for the Callahan father to turns the mafia reigns over to Liam. Liam Alec Callahan, aka Ceann na Conairte, thinks Melody will be a timid and meek little mouse and just a means to secure his empire. He never could have anticipated Melody.
Melody Nicci Giovanni, aka The Boss, aka Bloody Melody, has been secretly running the Giovanni family empire for 6 years. She’s the boss. She’s ruthless and deadly. She’s the Grimm Reaper in white heels. And she’s not at all happy about this marriage.
“She looks like a sweet little lamb from afar. But when you get close, you find out she skinned and ate the damn thing just to use it as a coat. She’s a beast!”
Bloody Melody goes down in history as the strongest, most powerful, and most bad-ass lead woman in a book ever! A temptress with a temper.
Liam and Melody are savages with no compassion or remorse. They’re selfish and superficial. They’re sexy and powerful. They battle for dominance while trying to establish a truce and make compromises for the good of the family. They quickly decide that sex is the best way to reach their goals together. This books contains some of the best sex I’ve ever read. Liam and Melody’s relationship starts with only sex between them. But they quickly form a bond and gain trust and respect for each other. They quickly learn to rely on each other and that turns in to love.
This was completely different than anything I’d ever read. As much as I love my HEA romance novels, I appreciated the grittiness and ugliness of this love story. Some people considered this book as going over the top or pushing the envelope too far. It’s violent, brutal, and bloody. But if you can accept the story for what it is you will thoroughly enjoy it.
