Publisher's Summary

To the outside world, they look like American royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, and rebuilding the city. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two bosses, cultures, and hearts. Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago and follows the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan - rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam believes he's getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need...the complete opposite of Melody. She knows exactly what type of man he is and would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life building. The mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down those who stand in their way.

Warning: This book contains adult language and subject matter including graphic violence and sex that maybe disturbing or triggers for some listeners. This book is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

This book is written in the perceptive of mobsters who aren't looking for redemption or possess a heart of gold.

Fantastic!

I have always loved a good mafia romance, but throw a kick ass woman and you definitely have my attention.
Meland Liam story gripped me from the first chapter. all the characters came alive for me and the plot had me coming back for more. The narrator was fantastic. this is not something that happens a lot.. that being said I would have preferred a woman to Narrate Melodies part, but still it was fantastic. wow I seem to be using that word a lot. but I truly did enjoy it!

the second book was a one click for me and no thought included. it was that easy of a choice.

the writer had me experiencing the highs and their Lows. The last chapter had me wanting to turn to the next book straight away.

This book was a five star for me and I highly recommend it. grab it today!

Disappointed

The narrator tried his best and did ok, the story was horrific I gave up half-way I’m sorry but these MC are obnoxious. I was REALLY looking forward to a Lady Mob Boss but the execution on this one wasn’t it. 1 out of 5 stars
