To have her in my debt.
She doesn’t know she caught my attention.
She should’ve been more careful.
I’m going to own her. Consume her. Maybe even keep her.
It’s time to collect what I’m owed.

Megan all I can say is you nailed it. Great book loved the setting and characters,it was suspenseful and sexy leaving me wanting more. This book is so steamy it was hard when the series ended. I want more.
This book was constantly being put in path advertising wise. Finally I got it for free so gave it a read. Wow! I really should have read it sooner. I loved this story. It was well written, the characters well developed and the sex was fantastic! I couldn’t put it down and after finishing it, I immediately bought the next 2. Definitely give this one a go, it’s dark, it’s dirty and it’s so worth it!
This book grabbed me right away with suspenseful action. I love it when I feel several emotions when reading and I felt several when reading this.
I liked this book a lot. Meghan March is a good writer. I enjoy her books, but sometimes they blend into one – hunky guy, hot chick fall in love instantly, have some drama, then HEA. In this book though, the characters are painted with more depth and I cared about them. I liked both the heroine and the hero – feisty real (believable) people that have a happy evolution towards really caring about each other and then the HEA! Lots of drama and fun stuff in-between. I liked learning about the distillery and enjoyed that she had a rich life before meeting her man.
Absolutely Ah Mah Zing!!!! Definitely pick this book up today, you won’t be disappointed. If you like HOT AF Alpha Males that take care of their ladies in more ways than one then this book is for you. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
Love this book and series!
Perfect
I loved these characters and their path together.
loved it
Fifty Shades on steroids. The story is compelling. I can’t wait to to read all of Keira and Mount’s story.
Oh my gosh!! Great story I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!! It’s exciting, and very hot, steamy, action packed story of two people from different worlds!
Cliffhanger! Be prepared: Once you start Ruthless King, you won’t stop reading until you’ve finished Sinful Empire!
One thing I love about Ms. March’s books is the original story lines she comes up with. At the start you’re thinking “WHAT THE WHAT?!” but once you meet the characters you’re immediately drawn in and all the pieces just fit. I can’t wait to get more of Mount and Keira.
I selected the audiobook for Ruthless King on a whim as I trolled through my library’s options last week. I tend to have a difficult time with audiobooks as narrators tend to be hit or miss with me. I like when the emotion comes through rather than just a neutral reading.
Anti-heroes can be so fun. The best part about Mount, aside from being deliciously wicked, is the ability to rationalize his behavior. He isn’t just a completely unhinged loon being a menace. At least not to me. Keira “Ke-Ke” was a frustrating character and I’m hoping she experiences some growth in the next book. I wish I liked her character more but she just grated on me during her inner turmoil moments. I did like the fire she showed in the one-on-ones with Mount. I wish she would listen to Magnolia’s advice a little better. Hopefully, I will like her more in the next book.
Overall, Ruthless King snared me and I have found a new author that I adore. Lucky me, the library has plenty of her books and the ones they don’t have I will pick up! With the exception of Keira, I loved the characters and look forward to all the growth as the story progresses. The narrators for the book were good, though we only hear from Joe Arden (Mount) a handful of times. Closing recommendations? Uhm yes, especially if you like the hate to love trope, darker romances, and steamy (and ooh boy are they steamy) sex scenes.
Wow! I LOVED Mount and Keira! This is book one in their story. Lachlan Mount is the king of New Orleans and he has set his sights on Keira Kilgore. She owns a family distillery and apparently finds herself in a difficult position when Mount comes knocking on her door. They have such great chemistry and Keira definitely isn’t afraid to give as good as she gets. Definitely worth the read!
You wouldn’t think an anti hero would be so ridiculously amazing, but its true! Thrown into a world of crime, deceit and mayhem our NOLA world is turned upside down. I’m used to Meghan portraying these amazing alpha males, but her twist on an anti hero was completely world changing! Keep writing these flawed men and their hard headed women because we can’t get enough.
Oh my God. This series was so great that I read it twice. It was hard not to love Mount despite the fact that’s he a criminal.
Holy smokes!!
I really enjoy reading Meghan March’s books. Her writing truly captures the reader and it is impossible to put her books down because you get so lost in her stories. Girl! Ruthless King is my absolutely favorite book by her. When I say I love this book I mean I love this book. Lachlan and Kiera are amazing characters who i instantly loved.
Kiera is a very driven and strong minded woman. She has no problems speaking what’s on her mind and doesn’t give damn about the consequences. She a fiery woman who can hold her own against the very dangerous and very sexy Lachlan Mount. I love Lachlan. He is a bad man who makes no apologies for the way he is, what he does, and how he goes about getting what he wants. He’s very blunt and almost nothing fazes him other than the sexy red head that is Kiera. Lachlan is all alpha Male with a lot of danger and scorching sex appeal. He plays Kiera’s body like a flute making the sexual chemistry explosive and hot as fuck.
I’m not really what I can say to Express how amazing this book is. It’s dark and sexy. It has it’s own form of humor and you will fall in love with these characters. They are my favorite that Meghan March has ever written. Ruthless King is a winner.
I have loved all that I’ve read or listened to by Meghan March so far. I love her Beneath series. I didn’t think I would get into this, it is a lot darker, the title refers to a bad guy, Lachlan Mount. We did meet him in the last book in the Beneath series. He’s the guy who everyone has to go through in New Orleans, the drug cartels go through him, he owns or pays off some of the police. His reputation is not a man you’d ever think you’d want. Or not the type of guy I’d want, I don’t really like the bad guys usually. I should have known though, after what the author did with the one really bad guy in the Beneath series, Rix, that she could find a way to make me like this bad guy. But don’t mistake Mount for Rix. Mount is a really bad guy.
This first one was really mostly about the sex part to me. I had a lot of questions about some things, and how they would really work. I also was definitely unsure about liking one of the things he made her do. I mean, there’s a reason they say things like people walking around like they “have a stick up their …”. We got some time with the characters from the Beneath series twice in this book. I liked that, but wished for more. There was a cliffhanger at the end, as I mentioned, and so I had to immediately get ahold of the second book. But I chose to get it from the library where unfortunately, I was put on hold. However, it was a surprise when later that same night, it was available! So really I didn’t have to wait any longer than I normally would wait anyway to start a new audiobook. My one complaint is how we didn’t get the every other chapter between the two characters in this one. So much more from Keira’s side. But I get the reason for it.
WOW! Just wow! I’ve never been that into mob/mafia (dont even know if thats the right word to describe this) series before but I couldnt put this series down. Every page is a page turner and I love how the romance slowly develops and isn’t quite love at first sight. The female lead is BADASS and the male is swoon worthy!
