When he decided he wanted me, he took me.Treating a mobster shot by a rival’s goons isn’t really my forte, but when a man is powerful enough to have a whole wing of a hospital cleared out for his protection, you do as you’re told.To make matters worse, this isn’t first time I’ve met Giovanni Calduchi. It turns out my newest patient is the stern, sexy brute who all but dragged me back to his hotel … dragged me back to his hotel room a couple of nights ago so he could use my body as he pleased, then showed up at my house the next day, stripped me bare, and spanked me until I was begging him to take me even more roughly and shamefully.
Now, with his enemies likely to be coming after me in order to get to him, all I can do is hope he’s as good at keeping me safe as he is at keeping me blushing, sore, and thoroughly satisfied.
Publisher’s Note: Ruthless is a stand-alone sequel to Caught. It includes spankings and sexual scenes. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Whenever Piper Stone writes a mafia story she doesn’t disappoint. This is dark, steamy and has plenty of action. And Add Thomas Locklear as the narrator you are ready for a great listen. Love his commanding voice. I was gifted this audio and offered my honest review.
I listened to the audio book. The narration wasn’t bad. The narrator had a moment of two when he spoke in the female lead’s voice when it was Gio speaking. That have me pause, but it wasn’t completely distracting.
I don’t know the female lead’s first name, or I should say that I don’t know how to pronounce it. I’ll refer to her as Minx. That is the name Gio used.
Gio was a mafia don. Had no expectations of him being gentle or soft or romantic. Minx was just crazy. This woman blew not and cold. She alternated between wanting to hit Gio, and craving him sexually.
I didn’t really get if Minx had a secret about her past, or if she blocked out information about her past. I
I think there was a fairly interesting back story about a mile infiltrating Gio’s organization, but it was overshadowed by the craziness of Oof and Goofy. I would give this book 2.5 stars.
Omg! The writing of Piper Stone is incredible and infectious and alluring. From the first page, this story drew me in like a fly to honey. Within minutes my heart was beating and my mind totally enthralled. And then it got better.
Violence, assassination, betrayal, death, pain, recovery, passion! Giovanni, the son of Chicago mob boss Montego Calduchi, experiences all of this, plus more. He does what he must in order to survive. He protects those who depend on him. And, one night he amazingly finds and rescues an enticing woman in a little bar.
Beyond her better judgement, Veridi is drawn to him. They spend one passionate night together that is filled with power, control, domination/submission, bondage, obsession, and erotic, twisted darkness. Gio is able to break down Veridi’s walls and reach the woman hidden below her outward bravado. How astonished will Gio be, when he discovers Veridi is his cardiologist? Will he still be drawn to her? Will he be able to satisfy her inner cravings? Will she allow him to? How extraordinarily, passionately HOT is HOT between these two lovers? Read this tantalizingly sensual story to find out.
Gio was almost killed in a mob attack that killed his father the Don. While he is hiding out he meets his Minx Veridi. While Gio was undergoing surgery for his gunshot wound he was dead for 2 minutes and saw his mother she spoke to him about redemption and revenge. The whole book centered around that theme. Gio deep inside was a sensual man who loved Minx and would die to protect her but he was also groomed to be the Don to protect the Family. Well written, steamy hot. I enjoyed it.

Dark and scorching-hot mafia read!
—>>> When a mysterious and hot stranger saves Veridi from her boyfriend at a seedy bar, it turns into a night which she will never forget. But neither does the stranger, apparently, because he just keeps showing up in her life. But this time, he does not intend to let her go.
When Giovanni’s father and capos were gunned down in cold blood, Gio vowed to exact revenge for the rat responsible. First, though, he had to heal and work out a plan, now as the head of the legendary Calduchi family legacy.
In the short time Gio had Veridi in his arms and under his dark and erotic control, he realized she was the only woman who has touched his soul and submitted so beautifully for him. Keeping her safe from his way of life, from himself, was now a priority.

Well worth reading!
I thought that this book was sinfully delicious!! A dark, intense, steamy, kink filled, action packed thrill ride that will keep you on edge with every turn of the page. Veridi and Gio’s chemistry is so hot and their scenes are scorching. With plenty of danger, twists, suspense and powerful emotions, this book earns every one of the five stars I gave it.
If I could award more than 5 stars, I would. This book was a completely thrilling, dark rollercoaster of emotions & I couldn’t put it down!
The instant attraction between Gio & Veridi was electric from the very start. As the story delved deeper, their connection was undeniable & sparks were emitting from my kindle! I seriously loved all the twists & turns that Piper wrote in & devoured them hungrily.
This book is intriguing, dark & most definitely delicious! It has steaminess. It has very dark connotations, but above all, there is a sweet undertone that refuses to die. Piper has captured the true essence with both characters & brings them forth from the darkness & into the light.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone – You will not be disappointed!
Well done Piper. I look forward to more from you in the future!
Shivers down your spine. Clenching in your gut. Clamping of your thighs. This story goes right thru you. Becoming a pet of the boss and learning your place. And all the while it’s happening you know it’s right. I must say I am slightly envious of knowing what you want and being open enough to get it.

This is the first time I have read a book written by this author & I will admit that I found it to be a really splendid, dark & emotional mafia romance. It has a well-paced story-line & plot fill with unexpected events. The individual characters are unique with complex personalities & some of them exhibit devious tendencies combined with determination to achieve their goals.
There is: a cruel & brutal crime boss & father that is killed (Montego Calduchi), his son the new crime boss (Giovanni Calduchi aka Gio), the woman he rescues & has a one-night stand with (Minx aka Dr. Verdi Mason), intrigue, suspense, twists & turns, crime syndicates, secrets, murder, danger, threats, enemies, violence, conflict, violence, life-threatening incidents, suspicions, memories, obsession, verbal conflict, devious plans, abduction, emotional turmoil, defiance, insolence, domination/submission, spankings, bondage, punishment, discovery, realization, steamy scenes, love & a satisfying conclusion.
Veridi and Gio’s chemistry is definitely smoking hot and the heat only ignites anytime they try to push away from each other bringing them even closer! The smoking hot sex is so well written and graphically detailed it’s easy to picture each one and Ruthless quickly became an awesome off the charts panty wetting read!
This Dark Mafia Romance is as riveting as it is captivating as the suspense intensifies with fear and danger, sending the tension spiraling as the plot thickens with uncertainty and betrayal. A whirlwind of emotions and events that really pulls you in deep with this incredible delicious story!
Loved this mafia romance with a twist.
This is a wonderfully written story with down to earth real characters. They have feelings, things are messy and they definitely aren’t perfect. But this story is fabulous and dark with a twist that you don’t see coming. This book pulled me in from the very first page and kept me twisted up until the very end. I loved it and I highly recommend it!!!

Criminally fantastic!
The scorching chemistry between Gio and Veridi is one of the strongest elements of this book.
Veridi is unaware of her untapped desires but Gio is dark, depraved and sadistic enough to “educate” her regardless of her feelings.
An assassination, a one night stand, dark desires, domination and control, mobsters, intrigue, danger, suspense, betrayal, secrets, lust, obsession and love, make this an intriguing, sensual, hot and satisfying read!
