Reviews on Goodreads. Amazon. The book addicts.
Holy mother of all things holy!! Meghan March did it yet again !! I really could not see it being better than the Beneath Series but oh my goodness it’s freaking fabulous!!!
Sexy is a understatement!! It off the charts Hot!!!
But that cliff hanger tho ! Got me like What?!?!? Omg!?!?
Meghan you never let me down !!!
This first book in the Mount Trilogy and ends with a cliff hanger.
The book is compelling, dark, unpredictable, scorching hot, brilliantly written with a captivating storyline,
A great read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
6 stars (yes, it’s that good!)
Speechless.
I’m struggling to write this review because Ruthless King is so unbelievable good I literally can’t find words that can do it justice.
Mind blowing. Hot. Scorching hot. Intriguing events. Gripping writing. Strong feisty heroine. Sexy, dangerous, mysterious hero.
I can’t even form complete sentences! That’s how great Ruthless King really is. Honestly, this year I’ve read amazing books. Truly amazing books that made me postpone some social events (yes, I’m a horrible friend!) and go to work after sleeping for just one hour, but Ruthless King raised the bar even higher because I didn’t sleep single minute, I didn’t regret it and I was buzzing through the entire day without coffee! That never happened to me before. I reread it not even 24 hours later and guess what? I only slept two hours that night… So, let me tell you this: Ruthless King is without doubt my favorite book this year!
I’m sorry for not providing much information about the story but I don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll just keep it vague: Keira and Mount are the hottest couple ever! Their chemistry is intense, their banter is amazing and I loved how Keira defied Mount every step of the way (oh well, not every step if you know what I mean…). Keira never saw Mount coming, she tries to resist him, defy him, fight him but soon she realizes she’s also fighting herself and her deepest, darkest needs and desires. Mount wants Keira and he’s used to get what he wants. But he also wants her willingly. That is absolutely essential for him. Their chemistry is so insane, that just one small touch turns the tide in is favor but he definitely doesn’t expect how Keira keeps refusing to bow down and obey him, she’s surprising him at every turn although Mount always gets what he craves…
Compelling, dark, unpredictable, scorching hot, brilliantly written with a captivating storyline, Ruthless King is absolutely explosive. If you haven’t read it yet, you’re missing out! Can’t wait to get my hands on Defiant Queen!
WHEW!!! Hot, sexy, and exquisite! THIS SERIES IS A MUST READ!
Mount is everything.
I LOVED it! I couldn’t wait to get to get the next book.
If you are looking to enter into a world of danger and suspense with plot twists that make your head spin then look no further! Ruthless King is set in New Orleans; a city run by the fearful Lachlan Mount. This possessive alpha will take whatever means necessary to get what he wants and Keira Kilgore is no exception. Keira Kilgore is a sassy, strong spirited distillery owner with Irish blood running through her veins. This red headed bombshell is dragged into the sinister world of Lachlan when he comes to collect his debt that Keira’s deceased husband took out, using her distillery as collateral. Keira will do anything to save her family’s distillery, but can she survive the wicked Lachlan unscathed? Ruthless King is just the beginning of an action-packed trilogy. Don’t hesitate to enter into the unpredictable world of Lachlan Mount! Meghan MarchRuthless King
I love this book. I was intrigued by the characters and fought hard not to like Mount (Alpha-Male Extraordinaire) but he was so well written I got jealous of his relationship with the heroine Keira. The storyline will suck you in…I impatiently awaited the release of the rest of the trilogy.
Anything Meghan March writes makes me want more, more, more. The characters in this will keep you either laughing crying or reading to go kick ass. When Mount takes what he wants… He takes Keira and boys does he! The series is worth the read. And the Savage series is just as good…
4.5 Stars for this one! Meghan March has outdone herself with Ruthless King! Is Mount just a bad guy or is there some good underneath? He is that dark hero you kinda want to like but you don’t know why and Kiera is sassy, defiant and always challenging him.
I am so excited for the next two books in this series!
Phenomenal! Dominating Mount and spitfire Kiera makes for an explosive first book in this series! Devoured it, could not put it down. Hot! Sexy! Alpha! Twist and turns!!! A must read! My favorite Meghan March book to date!
NO SPOILERS!
Ruthless King was an insanely sexy, gripping, mysterious, and addicting start to the Mount Trilogy, and I freaking loved it with all of my heart! The storyline and characters were phenomenal, and I absolutely loved Meghan March’s writing style. She completely blew me away with this book, and I can’t wait to devour Defiant Queen and the rest of the Mount Trilogy!
Ruthless King was so surprising and unexpected. I didn’t fully know what to expect going into this book, but I can honestly say that I loved every single moment of it. It was incredibly sexy, intriguing, entertaining, and left me wanting so much more. There were so many twists and turns to the plot that I didn’t know what was going to happen next, and I loved the on the edge of my seat suspense. Since Ruthless King is book one in the Mount Trilogy, I knew there was going to be a cliffhanger, but I was absolutely not expecting that ending. It totally through me for a loop, and left me completely shocked and craving the next installment, Defiant Queen.
Lachlan Mount and Keira Kilgore were amazing, and I loved them dearly. Mount was a sexy, dangerous, mysterious, and dominating alpha hero, and I loved him more than I thought I would. I loved the air of mystery surrounding him, and I can’t wait to delve more into his character and background in the rest of the trilogy. Keira was smart, sassy, feisty, and I immediately felt a connection with her. She basically had every quality I love in a heroine, and I can’t wait to delve more into her character as well.
Ruthless King was a beyond sexy, intriguing, and addicting introduction to the Mount Trilogy, and I would HIGHLY recommend it! Meghan March absolutely killed it with this book, and I am so freaking excited to read Defiant Queen and the rest of the Mount Trilogy!
Started reading the first chapter excerpt and had to buy the book. Story totally pulled you in. And just when you think things can’t get any worse for Keira, they do! But, oh, what a sizzling sexy dilemma to have in the form Lachlan Mount. I write steamy romance, and Meghan gently introduces you to 50 shades territory that is believable. NOTE: I highly recommend you buy all three books at same time as you won’t be able to wait to get your hands on them in order to finish the story.
See my review for Beneath the Truth! I’m a super fan!
BEST ONE EVER!!!
Whoa. Holy hell what an ending! I’m loving this so hard right now and I’m all kinds of hooked. I love the fight in Kiera, she’s coming out strong against Mount. Dang those two are super hawt together. Eek, I can’t wait to read more!
OMG, I one clicked this book weeks ago and only got around to reading it a couple of days ago. I literally couldn’t put it down. Lachlan Mount isn’t someone we should love, but I did love him. He’s tough, cold, arrogant and he rules everyone and everything around him. Keira Kilgore runs the Whisky distillery that has been in her family for several generations. Things aren’t going well. She’s in debt and after her horrible, con artist husband died, and then she finds out he’d borrowed half a million dollars from Lachlan Mount and he’s come to collect what he’s owed.
Keira’s the payment he wants and she fights him at every turn. The chemistry is off the charts in this. So glad the series is all done so I could go straight from the cliffhanger end onto book 2.
Wow! Ruthless King was EVERYTHING! So incredibly hot and so damn RUTHLESS!
I LOVE Meghan March and how her mind works! I had zero idea what to expect going into Ruthless King, I haven’t read the whole Beneath series so this was only the second time I’d read about Lachlan Mount. And damn. he might be my fav Meghan March guy yet!
One thing I love about every Meghan March book are the strong female characters she creates, They are never helpless damsel’s in distress, they can and do always save themselves. They’re confident, smoking hot and sassy as hell!
Lachlan Mount is the epitome of Anti-Hero. He’s out to do bad all over town but for those he cares about he’ll do so much good. He doesn’t always go about that good in the best or right way but he has the intentions behind his actions.
There were some fantastic secondary characters in Ruthless King that I totally loved as well! Temperence, Keira’s PA and Keira’s best friend Magnolia. They have so much personality and add extra to an already fantastic book!
Ruthless King is one of those books that you need to go into blind. Meghan has this incredible knack of sucking you into the story and keeping you there till you’ve devoured every word. She writes tension and suspense like no other. Every time you think you’ve got it all worked out, you’re 100% wrong! Lachlan Mount had me up all night cursing his name and begging to be Keira!
This is exactly what I was looking for!! After being in a bit of a funk Lachlan Mount has dragged me from the pit and threw me head first into his world…and what a deliciously sinful world it is!!
Book 1 in the series, Ruthless King will have you intrigued and invested from the get go and leave you with your mouth gaping from the cliffhanger at the end.
Lachlan Mount is an enigma. Mysterious and oh so hot!! He owns New Orleans and ALWAYS gets what and who he wants. Including the recently widowed CEO of Seven Sinners Distillery Keira Kilgore. She is a strong woman who refuses to back down without a fight. Especially when it comes to her business. She is determined to keep her family’s business alive even if it means making a deal with the devil himself.
I absolutely loved this book. The back and forth between Keira and Mount was funny to say the least, and I loved Keira’s stubbornness and tenacity to piss Mount off.
I wish we had gotten more of Mount’s POV, but at the same time I understand why we haven’t. He’s mysterious and I am dying to uncover who he truly is.
This book (I feel) is the calm before the storm and I am eager to carry on.
All hail the King because Lachlan Mount just took over my every thought. This first book in the Mount Trilogy gives a whole new meaning to the description Alpha Male. Mount is a character that you want to hate but believe me your heart and your head are going to be continuously at odds with this and your heart is going to be the winner. The chemistry between Kiera and Mount is so strong that the charge that radiates between these two will be felt all the way from the pages to deep in your soul. We all secretly (or maybe not so secretly) want that bad boy and Mount is the ultimate one, he is the KING of bad boys. This story will keep you a prisoner in the pages and will have you craving the next book like your life depends on it.
