Hades: Stephanie and the Ruthless Mogul

Ruthless MC, Book 6

De: Theodora Taylor

Narrado por: Clementine Dove, Patrick Zeller

Is my husband a dream come true?

Or the nightmare I was trying to escape before I lost my memory?

I didn’t know true desire until the first time I laid eyes on him. Tall, dark, beautiful as a god—completely forbidden. He was the penniless son of the help born in the Lousiana bayou, and I was a pretty southern princess, cultivated like a hothouse flower to become the trophy on some well-pedigreed man’s arm.

My mother slapped my face when she saw us together and warned me he would ruin me. A few weeks later, my father made me sign a contract vowing I wouldn’t have relations with anyone until I married.

So, I tried to forget him. Until one day I woke up to find out I actually had.

There’s a near-decade hole in my memory. My disapproving parents have passed away. And the biggest surprise of all: that boy my mother warned would ruin me?

He’s my husband now.

He’s still beautiful as a god, and he’s now rich as one, too. He’s made himself over from a poor Cajun boy living on the bayou into a ruthless mogul with enough money to give me anything my heart desires. A huge house on a lake, the perfect job, and endless pleasure.

He’s a total dream husband. Until one day I receive a note from someone I trust, telling me three unsettling things.

1. The beautiful god I sleep next to every night is not my real husband.
2. Before he re-invented himself as a ruthless mogul, he was the even more ruthless leader of a notorious motorcycle gang, and….
3. I was hiding from him all the way up until my accident.

Could it be? Is my dream-come-true actually the nightmare I was trying to escape?

What would you do if you were me? Live with the perfect illusion? Or do whatever it takes to uncover the truth?

❤️❤️❤️.

Absolutely awesome book. Galen”Hades” and Stephanie “
Persephone”. are so perfect together. This second book of this series was absolutely amazing. I love the intermingle stories in these books. It makes them much funner to read when you have a lot going on. I have read and listened to several ruthless reaper books and all have been more than worth my time. this is a must read.

wow

Wow just wow. what a ride, emotional, intense, so good. The side characters and flashbacks were so well placed. I have loved this series. excellent writing from story line to characters to emotions the pages come alive. narration was great.

You left me hanging

I love the story however I don’t appreciate you leaving us hanging with Benjamin and Texas story they deserve a whole book. Please don’t let us down and I didn’t realize how many nuggets you left for a couple of other books.

The times you do in the dark...

... will surely come to light. And, now the chickens have come home to roost. Hades/ Galen loved Stephanie/ Persy so much that he was willing to tell and live a little white lie when Stepanie lost her memory. All of the family secrets have been revealed and all of the questions from book one are answered. In her effort to regain memory of nine years of her life, Stephanie finds out things that Galen doesn't want her to know or at least try to explain to her why he did what he did and beg for her forgiveness. He was trying to be a better man, one that Stephanie deserved, and leave the old Hades behind. Benjamin Brady Keane finally gets to explain to Tess his feelings. Oh, that scene had me crying as he professed his love for her. He never got over her and she never got over him.

When Stephanie finally remembers everything she and Galen can finally have their HEA and so does her sister Tess and Benjamin.

I loved this series. It is now one of my favorites that I will be reading again and again. It is always a pleasure for me to read stories centered around my home state and culture.

Starting over is oftentimes hard to do

Hades was despicable. Dispicabaly Awesome!!! From the moment these two met, nothing was going to keep this Reaper from owning her.

Good Stuff

I’m glad I got to see the progress for both couples. Looking forward to the continuing development in other characters.

And another one

I really look forward to reading everything you write, this was no exception. Hades was a bit...much, I mean he was very harsh. But I love his growth. Also I love Clementine, but she didn't give the voice over for Hades justice. I would have loved if Patrick read all the male parts and Clementine read all the female parts interchangeably not just the character for each.

Good but could have been better

I enjoyed the story over all and the performance was outstanding as always. However, though this whole Ruthless repers series they have billing up Hades and Persephone story. I wish we could have just focused on them giving more details of there time together and have given Tess and Benjamin there own book or short story. I feel like Hades and Persephone story got the short end of the stick a little and I found my self wanting to rush through Tess and Benjamin to get back to them. which is not fair because Tess and Benjamin's story was also interesting it just didn't need to be smushed into another story.

Hanging

Not sure why the beginning was in the hospital instead of when Stephanie ran away. It would have explained more of the history between them. There was no explanation for her accident. It was still a good listen

A Real Love

To find real love through the worst kind of pain is to find a love that’s forgiving and everlasting. This is the kind of love Stephanie and Galen and her sister also is able to find with Ben. What a journey they take to get there though. Must read.
