Product Information

Safe no ow drama; a tiny bit of om drama that brings out the H’s possessive side but doesn’t cause separation; h not a virgin; H not a manwhore - was celibate after meeting h although it had been months ago At twenty-eight, Gianna Marino’s happiness lies in white lines, alcohol, and risky behaviors. Everything changes when she meets the elusive dirty fed who challenges her in a way no one else does. What do you get when you combine a deadly mafia assassin and a grieving almost-widow? Maybe a recipe for disaster but it worked oh so well in this book. When I stay silent, too stunned to answer, he says gently, “I told you I’ve obsessed over you. Did you think that meant writing your name over and over in a notepad and drawing little hearts around it?” Normally, I would still be OK with it and enjoy it all, saying “Yay, what a hot book!” but unfortunately, most of the sex scenes are not to my liking so it has also affected me in a negative way. The book is indeed hot but not my kind of hot.

Ruthless Creatures | J.T. Geissinger

Nat teaches art to a bunch of twelve year olds at the local school, she's known around town as the girl who was jilted the day before her wedding, so she never got to even walk down the aisle in her beautiful gown. Her husband to be went out on a hike and never came home. I'll start off this review with our female main character who ruined this book for me, Natalie. She was a middle school teacher of art. She has a dog that always sleeps. I know, it was insignificant, I was just letting you know. Her fiance abandoned her on their wedding day five years ago. She still hasn't moved on. She dated several men but didn't have sex with them. Until she met her sexy neighbor, Kage. After a scandalous rendezvous leaves Elena Abelli’s reputation in tatters, the once favored mafia principessa is stripped of her halo and placed on house arrest. I raged as I sat there needing/wanting/screaming for the next book! Because OMG that ending!! I can't wait for our 'Ice Queen' Sloane's book! And I can’t lose her. If ever I do, I’ll burn the whole world to the ground before following her into the dark.”Barely an adult herself, Giulia is unsure whether she is ready to become a mom herself, but despite all of that, she keeps an optimistic disposition and steps up to her new role. I whisper, “For a guy who claims to be such a bad scary criminal, you’re a big softie.” “Only for you.” For a new adult mafia romance filled with suspense and steam, I recommend giving Condemned to Love a go.

Ruthless Creatures REVIEW - Ruthless Creatures

But with each passing glance and heated altercation, fate weaves an intricate web that spells their ultimate doom. The fast-paced action and dangerous mafia world created by J.T. Geissinger has captivated readers, who are eager to explore this universe further and dive into the rest of the series. Another strength of the novel is its strong heroine, Natalie, whose humor and sassy nature have endeared her to many readers. ConsThe Hero(es): Kage (a.k.a. Kasimir Portnov) - He is a dangerous man and is in town to take care of loose ends in the form of Natalie Peterson. However, when he sees her and she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, he is conflicted. He buys the house next door to hers and sets out to learn more about her. I've just finished my first and my last mafia romance of this year. Actually, I am not an audience of this trope. But I really did try loving this only chance I had. I know that sounds dramatic af, but if you're wondering why I read something I dislike, a close friend forced me to try this one after losing a ridiculous bet. Anyway, she have a great sense of humor because she also recommended me a ridiculous book.

Filthy talking, Russian mafia men are like catnip to me. Add to that one who makes consent sound sexy, would get pegged by his lady love if she insisted and is totally up for being spanked himself to prove himself to her and I'm pretty smitten with ol Kage. Kage was absolutely DELICIOUS. When I tell you that the man has presence, I mean he has PRESENSE. He practically oozes sexuality and badass. But he's also hiding something dark and dangerous with Nat in the front and center of it. He tries to deny their chemistry for as long as he can (which wasn't that long) until his need for her turns desperate. Now I'm not one for the insta-love vibe, but it actually worked for me here. Determined to fulfill his promise, Troy will do whatever it takes… even if that means clipping Sparrow’s wings.

On the other side, some readers caution that the book contains sensitive subject matter such as kidnapping, abduction, torture, and assault, which can be triggers for some. A few readers found certain aspects of the writing unsatisfactory, such as dialogues and pacing. The writing style of “Ruthless Creatures (Queens & Monsters Book 1)” truly stands out. It showcases a confident, knowledgeable, and clear tone that effectively engages the reader from the beginning to the end. The author’s neutral perspective is commendable, as it allows the reader to form their own opinions about the characters and events in the story. Ruthless Creatures is the start of her brand new Queens & Monsters series and I was so here for it. Mafia bad boys meet their match with fierce heroines? Yes please and thank you! In the mood for mafia romance books that toe the line of morality? Look no further than When Heroes Fall and prepare to be up all night. At the bar, she sees a mysterious man, very handsome, looking at her as if he wants to eat her☺. That is what she said through her thoughts!

The connection between these two was intense, the initial stages when he said the things he did had me swooning. I highlighted almost every word out of his mouth. However, one look at our hero, Kage, and all that pain and mourning disappears and he becomes her ultimate love. She even says that she now realizes she hasn’t been waiting for her fiancé for all those years but she has been waiting for Kage. Uhmm, what?!!When Cassio’s wife dies, leaving his children motherless, expectations push him to take a new wife. What he did not expect was an arranged marriage to an eighteen-year-old. Well, the parts about mafia are never the focus of the book, which was good for me as I really don’t like mafia romance and I rarely read this kind of books. However, for a reader who needs a good mafia book with a lot of action in it, this would be a bit disappointing. There really are no words at how much I loved every single thing about this story. Nat was sassy and fierce despite feeling emotionally wounded from a situation in her past. She had a sharp wit which led to such fun banter both with Kage and her best friend Sloane. She was the type of character that you’d love to have for real in your life. The writing is always good in a JT book so I cannot complain about it. I just needed more of JT’s delicious banter and couldn’t find it here as much as I wanted.
