Women are pawns in a game for pleasure. Nothing more. Until her. Madison Parker. I’m enthralled. Captivated.But my past is far too dark.Pushing her away is my only option.Yet her stubborn, sassy mouth and beautiful eyes weaken … her stubborn, sassy mouth and beautiful eyes weaken me.
I save her as much as she saves me.
Then blood is spilled once more, and I’ll forever live with the guilt.
Can light find its way through my darkness?
Can she truly be the salvation for this ruthless heart?

Wow who would have thought you could get a bigger arsehole than Carrick, guess it runs in the family because his brother Callan upped the anti big time.
That aside I loved Callan, how could you not. He’s the true definition of what we expect an Alpha Male to be, tall, dark, ruggedly handsome, tattoos and tonnes of attitude, but when something is his he’ll protect it come hell or high water.
The nefarious life he’s lead was never conducive to relationships, oh he’s left a long trail of women in his wake, but none were around for long. Enter Madison. She’s young and she’s the Senator’s daughter, those facts alone should make her off limits. Alas being a man with very few morals, if any at all, Callan will let nothing stand in the way of having what he wants, HER. But he gets a lot more than he bargained for because she’s not the timid mouse he thought she would be.
Her life is from easy and it’s not as glamorous as people on the outside think it is. With a closet full of things she doesn’t want anyone to see Madison is totally disarmed when Callan enters her life. He sees through what’s on the surface to the heart of who she really is. In return she sees the past he’s hiding behind and isn’t afraid to stand up and call him out on it.
These 2 amazing characters will set your kindle on fire, the passion they exude is explosive. It’s a tug of war between their feelings for one another and what drives them apart
This is book 4 in this awesome series and each one just gets better. It’s an addictive read you won’t wanna put down and will leave you mourning when you turn that last page because you don’t want it to end. I look forward to seeing what hottie comes next.
Ok wow I don’t know what to write here .this was an intense read I’m thinking more than Whisper. Here it shows that even if you have all you need there is something in your life that is missing that you don’t even know you needed or wanted. Madison what can I say about her I definitely felt for her feeling alone feeling like you are never wanted for her to never imagine that if you want and desire something or anything that you have to finding it in yourself. like the saying says you have to love yourself before you love another.Callan what can I say of that man he surpass my expectations of what I thought I was going to get from him but he definitely is the ruthless man that you will come to love during their journey in finding their ground their home. The ending was so perfect seeing the happiness they have found. I can’t wait to know who’s story is next I’m going with maybe Mason or Oliver I definitely want to know those two more.
this book was amazing! he is the devil himself. he gives woman pleasure and pain. while he will kill a man in a heartbeat. he doesnt do love. so when he meets the shy woman. he wants to give her pain and pleasure, but she is off limits. you must read this book!
I love a darkly delicious series, and Sins of Seven has kept things darkly delicious! Ruthless was enticing and demanding. It made me want to be Madison at times, I just wanted a scene with Callan, just once! Oh, the pleasures to be found here! This hot and steamy read was rich with life and complexities. I loved it!
I do believe this is my favorite book of this series so far!! Just the moodiness and direct way of Callan made me fall in love with him and this storyline was heart wrenching. This whole series has some incredibly hot Alpha Males, you don’t want to miss out!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Callan O’Leary does’nt do anything by halves.
When he kills he does it with gusto.
When he uses women he does it to satisfy his and his needs only.
When he refuses to feel he does it with conviction.
And then he sees Madison enter Sins for the first time and his need to take what he wants kicks into high gear. He plans to take her, break her and leave her with his usual ruthless precision.
But right from the beginning things go decidedly different than planned. Madison turns out not to be an easy pushover but a scarred young woman with a surprisingly healthy, if hidden, backbone.
As the story unfolds we get a detailed account of both their reasons for their actions and reactions. And we watch the unsavory machinations around them develop and reach a savage conclusion.
Will they be able to rescue their relationship and build a life together?
Callan is undoubtedly RUTHLESS, this man cares for himself and himself only that is until he crosses paths with Madison while at Sins. We’re taken through a dark, intense and passionate ride as Callan and Madison battle through their demons independently as well as together. There are moments where I can’t believe what I’m reading and others where I feel I can’t find out what’s going to happen next fast enough. This may be a trigger for some readers, we do come across some dark scenes throughout the story. I personally can’t get enough of them. Devilishly written that has me intrigued as to what this author will have for us in the future with this series. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.
I really enjoyed this book. It was so full of emotions. This book was all I could expect from this author and more. Amazing.
Callan. Is. Ruthless.
“Callan has a way of stealing my breath, gripping my heart as if he’s just pulled it from my chest.” My EXACT feelings regarding Mr. Ruthless himself while reading this EPIC novel.
Two broken souls who come together as one, finding each other through a means of pain and sweet pleasure. Both the hero and heroine live in the shadows of their own darkness endeavors, but eventually through emotional turmoil find the light.
I feel like there’s a storm coming and I’m not prepared. The name of the hurricane is Callan O’Leary
Ruthless I believe is the turning point in Dani Rene’s work within the Sins of Seven series. We see a different side to her writing, to her creative nature and I am beyond proud of her abilities. I love the turn we take with Callan and his journey in finding happiness within in the dark recesses of his mind. The emotional volume that we gain between Madison and Callan is gut-wrenching at times and oh, so powerful. One minute you want to smack Callan with his cold-blooded exterior but other times you want to melt into his hands with his filthy words, dominant persona and unbearable means to get your wet in all ways! Don’t let this sexy cover deceive your eyes, Callan O’Leary is a man that exudes dominance and unyielding attributes… you’ll be begging for more!

I thought I’d met my favorite Irishmen in Indulge but boy was I wrong! Every time I think the men of Seven Sins can’t get any hotter Dani Rene ups the ante and blows me away with another dynamic character I can’t help but love. Ruthless is a fast-paced, gritty, gutwrenching, and highly addictive read I couldn’t get enough of.
Callan O’Leary is dark, dangerous, and ruthless. He oozes attitude and arrogance but will fiercely protect those he loves. When he sets his eyes on Madison Parker little does he realize he’s getting more than he bargained for. Madison is young, wealthy, beautiful and appears to live a charmed life. I love how both Madison and Callan see past the facades they present to the world and pushed each other’s boundaries.
From the moment I read the dedication for this book I realized the author was going to take me on a unforgettable journey with Callan and Madison’s story and did she ever. Ruthless is deliciously dark, gritty, riveting and will keep you spellbound and on the edge of your seat until the very end of this thrilling and fantastic read. After Ruthless I can’t wait to see what Dani Rene gives us next in this amazing series!
Oh, to visit the Seven Sins, the premiere BDSM club in Chicago, run by a charming and devilish Irish man and his partner and best friend. I love going into Dani Rene’s world, and I hope that we continue to get more even after we get through all seven deadly sins.
Like all the other books, this one is a standalone, but it’s interconnected with the 3 previous books, so you can read it without reading them and not miss anything, but it’s a lot more fun to read them all, because, well, it just is.
Callan is over from Ireland with his sister Cayleigh to visit their brother Carrick, who owns the Seven Sins. When Callan is there, he gets to see lovely Miss Madison Parker. The one person that his brother warns him away from. The problem is that Callan never does what his brother wants him to do.
Madison noticed Callan six months ago and has kept coming back to Seven Sins every Friday night so that she can sit and watch him. He has a dangerous aura around him, but he’s all man, and everything that she wants.
The first time I ever met Callan, I was prepared to hate him. He’s a bit of an ash-hole at times. OK, maybe more than just a bit. And while I can often forgive that character trait in main characters, he wasn’t that in the book we first met him in. But, in Ruthless, Dani Rene managed to redeem him enough that I liked him. He’s still an ash-hole a lot of the time, but seeing his inner dialogue and getting to know him more really made me warm up to him. I really liked Madison. Dani Rene has a way of writing female characters who are both very strong and very broken and vulnerable. Madison definitely fits into that. I could have read a lot more of those two and been perfectly happy.
I’m dying for the next book to come out.
The Sins of Seven series is not for the faint at heart. These guys are the lowest of the low and proud of it. This book is about Callan. They are all friends so you do see them throughout the series. Now this author does dark and the men in this series have butte ugly proclivities that are really more than I can handle but it is part of the series. I love this author and have loved many of her other reads but I have to say this series isn’t my favorite and man these a$$wipes trigger my triggers in the foulest of ways. The writing is off the chart, this author has mad skills so even when you don’t want to read more you can’t stop because dang it, she’s good. There were a few things that just ripped me up and let me know I am a wimp when it comes to this type of read. I dip my toes into the dark and that’s all I can do, this author is not for the faint at heart but anyone who reads her work will truly find a special place.
Ruthless by Dani René is book Four in the Sins of Seven series. This is the story of Madison and Callan. I have read the other books but feel you can make this a standalone book.
Callan is a hard, rough man who was groomed at a early age to kill or be killed. Although the has a sister and a brother that he does care about that is the only attachments he allows. Women are just for physical release of his dark pleasure. Madison father is rich and high up politician but her life wasn’t easy her mother never cared and died when she was younger. Her father didn’t connect with her and had her on the fast track to just doing women things and marring a man she didn’t want to. The only real thing she was doing was going to a motorcycle BDSM club where she meets Callan. Madison knows he is a dangerous man but that only draws her to him more.
This was two hurt, broken, people who had dark desires coming together and it made them whole.
Really enjoyed their story.
Holy Amazeballs what a book!
Callan is an intense man. He’s background and upbringing has made his heart stone cold with no room for sweet and tender.
He’s demanding,he’s no nonsense and absolutely doesn’t play nice!
I loved his filthy mouth and dark needs.
Madison is the picture of the perfect sweet demure young lady.
That’s the persona that people see. But Madison has an inner layer that she shows no one.
I was captivated by her. She’s very complex.
Omg the dynamics between Callan and Madison is freaking unbelievable!
Their encounters are sizzling be it their arguments or their sex.
It’s hot,it’s sexy,it’s flirtatious and most of all their encounters are intense!
The are like a beckon to one another. They both gravitate to the other from the moment they see each other. It’s like their inner cravings and wants knows it can be quenched and sedated by the other.
I loved how their meetings just kept building and building.
And their conversations kept getting more dirtier.
Until the buildup comes to a crescendo that’s so explosive and so powerful both are stunned!
I loved how Ms. Rene brought these two unique characters together and how they find solace in each other.
The storyline and plot fit the unquiness and background of Callen and Madison to a tee.
Everything flows perfectly and blends so well.
The writing is raw and gritty.
It’s no holds barred matching the characteristics of Callen and Madison.
I loved reading the journey and experiencing all that is Callen and Madison!
Whoa! What did I just read?! After reading the other books in this series, I was hoping for a book about Callan. And, boy, does this author deliver! Callan is a total alpha male who does what he pleases and takes no prisoners. Women come and women go. Except one night at the Club, he sees Madison and knows he wants her in his life. But with any potential relationship, there are always barriers. Does Callan say to heck with it and go after what he wants? Madison on the other hand knows she wants Callan, but isn’t sure how to go about it. Does she ensnare her man? This entire series is by far my favorite series as it has so many elements in it; Passion, Anger, Sadness, Happiness, Love and so much more. While you don’t have to read the books in this series in any order, I highly recommend you read them all as they are truly magnificent! This one in particular is my favorite as this character just amazes me. True writing genius.
Ruthless is book four in the Sins of Seven series. This can be read as a standalone but i highly recommend all the sins so far in this series each one is oh so delicious.
Ruthless was dark as it was sexy, it stirred so many emotions and it commanded your attention right from the start. Dani really knows how to write a dark and captivating story. These men may be hard and feel they have no souls but with the right woman they become so much more. And Dani is great at bringing two broken people to make a perfect whole.
Callahan is a killer brought up in a life of danger, he’s trained just to be Ruthless. So when his path crosses with the beautiful Madison his ruthlessness roars to surface. What he doesn’t realise is that Madison has her own dark side and what she see’s in Callahan she wants.
Their chemistry is palpable giving us an intense ride.
I like to keep my reviews of Dani’s reads spoiler free so…. I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, with each book that i read i become even more excited for the next and their characters. Dani René loves to entice us and we love to be enticed.
Wow! What A Dark Sexy Intense Read!
Dani Rene has done it again. She keeps stepping up her “A” game with each book. Ruthless is book four from the Sin of Seven Series. Each book gets better and better and I never want them to end!
Yummmm! There’s just something about a sexy bad boy alpha that gets me every time.
Callan is an intense sexy alpha bad boy that has a dark and dangerous past. He is as ruthless as they come but Callan has many layers that will keep you guessing and wanting more.
Madison is a wealthy young woman who is beautiful, sassy and a tad bit stubborn. She has her own baggage to sort out. There’s a lot more to Madison than what meets the eye.
Callan and Madison meet at Sins and even though they are off limits their chemistry is undeniable. Will Callan’s cold dark ways catch up with him and will Madison’s family and obligations get in her way?
If you want a hot dark intense book that will keep you on your toes then Ruthless is for you. Ruthless is a standalone book but I highly recommend reading the previous books in the Sin of Seven Series. You won’t be disappointed.
I do not give spoilers in my reviews, as a reader and reviewer, I would like for other readers to have their own opinion and assumptions about the book. You’ll either thank me later or not.
With that being said, this book was by far the worst one I’ve read in this series. When you mention rape there should be some type of follow up, not left for readers to have unanswered questions.
Regardless of how ruthless Callan can be, he would’ve never been okay with that. Madison was quite frankly annoying, and I could stand listening to her majority of the time.
Otherwise, this book was beautifully written,.characters had great depth but the storyline and certain things, kept me from raising it to a 3 star book, and I REALLY hate leaving 2 or below stars.
I’m am loving the Sins of Seven books. Each book keeps getting better and better. Callan and Madison seem to have nothing in common on the outside, by inside they are both broken. They help each other heal, and they find solace with each other. If you love a dark, taboo romance this book is for you.
So….dark, dirty, delicious, dangerous…
Callan O’Leary is a hot, foul-mouthed, wicked-tongued, Irish killer with his eyes on one prize – the prize he shouldn’t even have on his radar. He’s killed, his family is connected, and his skills in the field are carried over into the bedroom – he has dark tastes, doesn’t really respect his sexual partners, and is gone before the orgasm fades.
Madison Parker has her own connections, ties that force her to be a good girl when she has urges that aren’t so pure. When trouble hits, she has to find rely on the people she trusts, and they come in short supply.
The chemistry between Callan and Madison is swift, fierce, and undeniable, which makes Ruthless an unmissable read. There is a dark tone to this book, a lot of coarse language and explicit sex, and the storyline is fast-paced and more than enjoyable.
I’m looking forward to reading the next in the series.
