I was sucked in from the very beginning with Mount and Kierra!
So. Unbelievably. Hot.
And swoony. Oh yes he’s a bad, bad boy but he’s going to melt the panties right off you. And she’s got badass in her bones.
A MUST READ.
I dare you not to one-click book 2
I did not expect this book. It was so good that I devoured the series in three days!
I love a good anti-hero and Lachlan Mount was one of the best!
I don’t know what planet I’ve been on that I’ve never read Meghan March but she’s my new favorite. The characters of Hellion and Mount are so real and by the end of this book, you know them really well. This is book one of the series and it’s smart, sexy, and I couldn’t put it down.
Oh. My. God!!! This book was insane! Kira and Mount are off the freaking charts! The story had me totally captivated from the beginning! The twists and such left me totally breathless gasping for air! I am STILL in shock! This was the first time I have read (actually listened in this case) a Meghan March book and I am so in! I can’t wait to get into the next book!!!
Wow! Didn’t expect to love this as much as I did! Super steamy and hard to put down!
Wow ….what an addictive read. Ruthless King was an intense, mind-blowing page-turner which had me hooked until the very end. Intriguing, riveting and unexpected are just some of the words used to describe this latest novel by Meghan March.
Lachlan Mount was everything I expected yet so much more. I absolutely loved him. Meghan March outdid herself with her latest alpha male hero.
Keira was the perfect complement to Mount. This fiesty red-head gave as good as she got and there was never a dull moment between these two. Their chemistry was smoking hot and the steamy scenes between them could have set fire to the pages of this novel.
To say I loved this story would be an understatement. With twists and turns that kept me reading page after page, I devoured this story in one evening. Meghan March gave us two complex well developed characters who were both relatable and likable, fascinating secondary characters who were all so diverse yet greatly added to the story and a plot that was so captivating I was left wanting more.
I can’t wait for Defiant Queen – bring it on Meghan March I’m excited to know what’s next. Ruthless King was a phenomenal read and I would highly recommend it.
Rating:
Meghan March can write erotic romance like nobody else!
This book has a premise that has been done before though there are story differences of course. However, Meghan March just seems to do it a bit better. This is a little steamier, the story has a nicer flow or stronger female characters, all combined to make things so much more exiting and fun to read.
The main premise in this story is that Kiera Kilgore is trying to save her struggling family whiskey distillery after mistakenly marrying a con man who recently died and left her in debt. But just when she is starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel, she gets a visit from Lachlan Mount.
Mount is the “King of New Orleans”, make that the underworld of New Orleans. He has Cartels, Mafia, Gangs, Cops, Feds, DEA, and all kinds of officials that jump to his bidding when it comes to doing business in the city. Mount tells Kiera that her late husband took out a loan with him for half a million dollars and it comes due in one week. He will take her in payment if she can’t come up with the money, and he knows she can’t.
We, as readers, have seen this trope before where the billionaire gets the girl who is desperate for money or he says she owes him for something and will take her body as payment. He owns her, in effect, for a certain amount of time. In this case, the rumors about Mount are that if you don’t do what he wants, he will kill all your friends and family. Each day of the week before the loan comes due, he sends her pictures of her friends and family along with a note saying how many days are left.
Kiera doesn’t have the money so she has no options, but she fights Lachlan all the way and every chance she gets. She has red hair and a temper to match. Kiera hates the fact that she is attracted to Mount and that he knows exactly how to turn her body against her. This book is super steamy and off the charts hot. With a heat index of out of 5 flames. The story is good and the struggles between the two are great. The ending is surprising and a cliffhanger and I can’t wait to start the next book!
The start of a fabulous trilogy. Megan writes really dark, gritty evil-heroes and bad ass heroines in Ruthless King. We see the ugly side of New Orleans, and we’re also swept up in a twisted love affair that starts with payment for a loan.
Loved the banter AND the chemistry between Lachlan and Keira in this hot-with-heart enemies-to-lovers romance. Get yourself a glass of ice water and enjoy!
Meghan March ticks all my boxes!
This is a great story, but be warned, there are 3 books and they are short AND have major cliffhangers. I loved book one and two, and I picked it up because I’d just visited New Orleans, and I wanted to read a book set in the French Quarter.
The best trilogy from Meghan March. Mount Lachlan is the ultimate alpha male. This first
book in the series starts the story of Kiera Kilgore and the damaged King of New Orleans Mount.
March’s story line draws you in from the first chapter. The characters that are brought into
the book are dark and dirty. The book is a cliff hanger with you just joneses for book 2 Defiant
Queen. I can hardly wait.
This is the first book in the Mount Trilogy series. It was a wonderful read. Lots of twists and turns. Look forward to reading book two.
This was totally the book that made me realize I could write the kind of romance that I’ve always wanted to write: thrilling, sexy, and no-holds-barred. I love all of Meghan March’s books but this one will always stand out to me as the best. Keira is such a fantastic, inspirational main character, and Mount of course is dom af. Read this one and then keep reading, the rest of the series is just as satisfying!
OMG, i knew why everyone urge me to read Ruthless King… Meghan March is the bomb… it is crazy with playful temptation… Keira who is struggling to keep her family business afloat…
Secret within secrets… she had to deal with Lachlan Mount… man who you dont want to mess with.. sinful devil… you can hate him all you want,… his smirk and ruthless smile will made you breaking down to your knees…
Ruthless King will play your emotion.. it will heighten your sense with sexiness.. constant gasping.. the level of teasing amd taunting.. Lachlan, you are the man..
Keira’s constant stubborness really play the story.. its spicy.. lots of challenging..
I cant wait for the next….
I loved this book so much! Meghan really knows how to keep me up past my bed time reading her books. Mount is the perfect combination of mystery and dream man rolled up in one. Gah! I love him and need more!!
So Meghan March has a new fan! OMG can mount just be mine. I’m just DYING for the next book, Mounts protective and possessive side is so sexy! I need a lot more of that in book two, and a lot more of Mount chapters! That ending was so unexpected and took me completely by surprise, so excited to see where all that goes. Meghan did a fantastic job with Ruthless King, there was a great flow and once I picked up my kindle I did not want to leave their world! And I LOVE that feeling. The story has a great beginning and I am hopeful for the next two books!
Well I just read this in one sitting. I devoured it and if you think you will do any less then you are mistaken.
The electricity that leaped off the pages between Mount and Keira was intense. I haven’t felt that in a long time between two leading characters. If you love the bad guy, the ass hole, the anti hero, the villain, etc. Whatever you call him, then you are going to love Mount. He is so going on my favorite book boyfriend list.
Not only is the story between those two smoking hot but the suspense and mystery behind what is going on is addicting. I know everyone says it but I really need to get my hands on the next book.
Meghan has an amazing and flawless start to her new series. This love-hate story is going to be a favorite of mine.
