Wow! Just wow! Ruthless King is amazing!!
Lachlan Mount controls everything, even Keira Kilgore. Long before she knew what was coming. The anger and hatred she feels become kindling to the foreplay and sex between them.
It builds up to an explosive climax and leaves you hanging…
Absolutely amazing and i can’t get enough of these two characters. The underbelly of New Orleans lives and breathes manipulation and sex.
Wow, I bought this book on the recommendation of a writer friend who gave me your name and am I ever glad. Tight writing, unforgettable characters and fast paced, this was a great read from beginning to end. I loved both Mount and Keira and there were enough twists and turns to keep me flipping the pages. Lots of hot, sizzling, emotionally charged scenes that are wonderfully written. Stayed up all night until I was finished, only to discover that it was a series! Happy days!!! The next book came out the following day so I only had a 24 hour wait. This is a must read!
I knew at the mention of Mount in Hennessey’s story he was going to be a force to be reckoned with. However what was unexpected was that I was going to trip all over myself about this man!!!

OMG to be Keira. I love how strong and defiant this woman is. It literally sends chills up my spine with how bold she is. I love how this author writes about bold and brash women who don’t cower in a corner. It’s going to take a strong woman for Mount and I do believe it’ll be Keira who has Mount on his knees!!!!
Hot, suspenseful and devilishly dirty and delicious!!
The twists and turns of this fast paced mystery read gave this story added a new dimension the term “mindfuckery”!!
The story of Keira Kilgore and Lachlan Mount, their names aline conjure up all kinds of delicious debauchery!!
Their story is even better!!
The writing was fast paced and easy to follow. The characters were likable, and even the secondary characters added strength to the overall storyline.
Exciting and mysterious Lachlan Mount makes a business proposition to newly widowed Keira Kilgore that she cannot refuse!
Why?
Lachlan Mount he’s the king of New Orleans and yes responsible for making things happen and getting what he wants.
Throughout the story we get hints of who he is and what he’s capable of accomplishing.
I needed to know more about Mount and Rhett’s involvement!
“Nothing is what it seems!”
I thought the story was going in one direction and BOOM, the ending made my jaw drop!!
Book 2 cannot arrive fast enough!
4.5 stars!!
“Magnolia cuts me off. “You’re not going to die tonight, baby, I swear. Give that man what he doesn’t even know he wants–which is everything that’s you–and you’ll be just fine. Now, get going. Put the armor on and go slay yourself a dragon of a man.”
Kiera Kilgore is attempting to sustain her family’s whiskey business in a city where everything is ruled by Lachlan Mount. Mount is a man who rules the city of New Orleans, “Rule with fear, but gain respect through actions.” This man knows exactly how he wants things to run, and he makes it happen. Kiera finds herself caught up in his plans, but isn’t keen on staying a part of them.
Kiera is a woman who is independent, intelligent, and extremely outspoken. She runs her family’s company with an iron will. When she’s caught up into Mount’s plans, she is UNHAPPY. Although the man is … well, fine doesn’t even cover it, Kiera is a woman who does not want choices made for her. While her body is completely fine with being toyed with by Mount, her mind (and heart) aren’t quite sure.
Mount is someone not easily understood. His past is shrouded in mystery, and it seems he has no person that is truly close to him. When he begins his pursuits, he is pleasantly surprised by the independence in Kiera, but not so much happy about the fact that she sometimes goes a bit too far in her defiance.
Beyond the struggle between these two, lies a deeper seated intrigue that begins twisting around these two. This is the part that pulled me in. Although the attraction & situation of these two is exciting, what’s swirling around them is the type of story I live for. And, honestly, that’s about all I can tell you. There’s so much happening, that by giving away even one piece of this story … I’ll ruin it for you. Let me just say you need to trust that Meghan brings you a great story EVERY. TIME. And, personally, I cannot wait for the other installments of this trilogy!
Every time I get ready to read a Meghan March book, I know I’m going to get a fantastic story, whether it be something humorous (Dirty Billionaire Trilogy) or something emotional (Beneath Series). So I was properly excited to finally get my eyeballs on this first book in her new trilogy, and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. It’s safe to say this book has moved into my top 3 favorites by MM.
I knew from the synopsis I was going to be in for an entertaining read, but this actually surpassed what I was expecting. The story is pretty much straightforward, but there are a couple of twists thrown in. Not a lot of secondary characters, but the ones we meet do contribute to the story in some type of fashion.
I love Keira’s best friend Magnolia, that woman keeps it real, and I liked that Keira and she stayed best friends over the years, despite the differences in their lifestyles. Keira obviously has enough business smarts, but not quite so much in her personal life, hence the situation she finds herself in at the start of the book. I will say that there were a few times I wanted to shake some sense into Keira, her actions drove me bonkers at certain points. As for Mount, he brings a whole new meaning to the word Alpha. We do see how ruthless he can be, and there’s a small tidbit thrown out in the story about what his life was like growing up, but other than that, we don’t get to know much about him and I’m hoping we’ll get more about him in the upcoming books.
With most books the main couple have good chemistry, but what we get with Keira and Mount is hovering somewhere around the nuclear level, it’s that hot. The sexy times between them are explosive each time they happen!
BUT!!!!!
That ending tho! The last two chapters took a hard left turn onto WTF Avenue and now I’m seriously marking off the days on a calendar until I can get the next part of this story!
March does it welL!
,
Ruthlessly addictive:)
My first book by Meghan March and I am going to put her on my one click author list as this book was simply put amazing!
Keira has lost her husband and is now CEO of her family’s business and legacy. Unbeknownst to her, her husband took out a 500K loan from the most ruthless person out there, Lachlan Mount. The loan is overdue and he lets her know in no uncertain terms that if she fails to pay the money back within a seven day period, he’s happy to take her as payment. A few surprises in store and now I’m sitting on the edge of my seat wishing it was November already for the next instalment in this series!!
For a reading challenge, I had to read a book featuring a woman in an unconventional career or role. In Ruthless King by Meghan March, the heroine is a whiskey distillery owner. With all the raving reviews, I thought I was safe. What a mistake! This book was not a good pick for me.
I want to warn future readers that this book is part of a trilogy and can not be read as a standalone. Even worse, it doesn’t even have a proper ending in addition to a ridiculous cliffhanger. I hate that kind of thing. It’s like forcing the reader to buy more books.
This book is in the same vein as 50 shades of grey. The story is mainly on sex games, and the h could have any job, it wouldn’t have changed anything as everything is focused on her meetings with the H.
Pass like seriously. This story made me twitch. The best part of reading a possession story is hearing how she possessed him. But there is none of that here just lots of stupid. Ms. March has never met a real drug dealer in her life let alone a gangster. There is truly nothing redeeming about men who profit off the helpless. Now there are sociopaths who can charm and mimic feelings but more common are people who think everyone is garbage and don’t hide it. Of course, the most prolific drug dealer is an addict who does it to support their habit. Like her ex that she was married to for 4 months. Who she stupidly married after a week? She didn’t know he was an addict, a thief, or adulterer. Of course, she didn’t cause that would require some brains. She’s stupid and he’s a mobster why would you even want them to have a HEA.
This is a suspenseful journey to go on, what is disheartening is the absolute absurdity of the situation. Maybe book 2 will give some insight to what is really going on.
Meghan March you are officially on my top 3 favorite writers. What an amazing book! I loved every page, line and word. I could not put it down.
This book has amazing characters and I completely fell in love with each one of them. I could understand their emotions, a little bit of their story and only hope to get the chance to discover more.
The fact that this is a trilogy makes even better because I will get to love it even more, cry even more and thank even more the existence of brilliant people who can imagine such a beautiful story.
I could not put I t down literally and I have never read a book in my entire life that had this kind of steamy. And believe me when I say I have read a lot of them.
Just WOW Meghan March, you rocked my world so much that I am having trouble getting it back in order.
Loved this couple. One of my read. Then re-read books.
It is not often I want to read an entire series, but Meghan March created complex characters and page-turning action with Mount and Keira. I have devoured this book and am halfway through the next, Defiant Queen. I wanted to both hate and love Mount.
Great read,couldn’t put in dowm
Nerve Wracking Tension & Smoking Hot Scenes!!
Ruthless King
Keira is trying to save her family’s whiskey distillery after her, now dead, husband bled it dry. Then she’s dealt an almost fatal blow – he’d borrowed half million dollars against it from the King of New Orleans, Lachlan Mount. He’s ruthless, relentless & deadly, she’s got 7 days to pay in full of else!!
This book is full of fear, tension & rage from Keira. But she also can’t help how her body reacts to Mount! The sexual need between them is palpable & not as hell. It ends on one heck of a cliffhanger. With the next 2 books a fiver each they had better live up to this one’s quality or I’ll be gutted.

Wow! I like this book. I do hate cliffhangers, so I do have to say I already purchase the second one in the series! $4.99 Each for the next two. after this series I don’t know if I will read she again.
Love anything by this author!
I thought the book was going to melt in my hands. The chemistry between Mount and Keira is scorching hot!
Lachlan Mount just made it onto my book boyfriend list. He owns New Orleans, a self-proclaimed king of the city, who is tough, dangerous and always get what he wants. And what he wants in the Mount trilogy, is Keira Kilgore, heiress to a struggling whiskey empire.
Mount is dominant, ruthless and determined to rule Keira. But life does not always go according to plan, much to this alpha’s dismay, and Keira quickly becomes immersed in the shadows of his dangerous life.
The chemistry between these characters is amazing, and Meghan March pulled me into their world a little more with each installment of this sexy trilogy.
