Ruthless King by Meghan March
5.0

OMG! That ending! The twist was good, but I totally did not expect what/who would be at the door. Wow! So glad I can start book 2!

Here is the full review that appeared on Lisa Loves Literature first.

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.
