About this listen

From BookTok sensation J.T. Geissinger comes Ruthless Creatures, a scorchingly hot mafia romance about two people bound together by a debt that must be collected. No matter the cost.

Five years ago, my fiancé disappeared. He left me with a wedding dress I’d never wear. Left me with the kind of scars that can’t be healed. The man I built my future on vanished like a ghost. All that remained were my broken heart and a million unanswered questions.

Until a mysterious stranger arrives in town.

Tall, dark, and dangerous, Kage is as full of secrets as he is sex appeal. Though I know he’s hiding something, I’m drawn to him like a moth to flame. Heat crackles between us with every look, desire flares into passion, and I fall hard, helpless to resist.

But then I discover he’s been sent to collect on an unpaid debt from my missing fiancé....

And that debt is me.

What listeners say about Ruthless Creatures

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook Appears To Be A Mafia Romance Novel With A Captivating Storyline Filled With Unexpected Twists, An Engaging Plot, Compelling Characters, And A Suspenseful Narrative. Many Listeners Praised The Author's Ability To Craft A Gripping Tale With Spicy Romance Elements. However, Some Found The Plot To Be Predictable At Times, With Slow Pacing And An Annoying Protagonist. The Characters Were Also Criticized For Being Underdeveloped In Certain Instances, And The Ending Was Perceived As Abrupt By Some. Nonetheless, The Themes Of Forbidden Love, Grief, Suspense, Action, And Steamy Romance Seemed To Resonate With Most Listeners, Making It An Overall Enjoyable Experience For Fans Of The Genre.

If it was any longer..

I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much.. by halfway I was annoyed with fmc. She was always crying, always trembling, it got on my nerves. I started skimming her inner dialogue, it was a bit much. The insta lust/ insta love was a over the top, the spice was spicing and I definitely will relisten in the future... Loved Kage, wish there was more of him. Loved the narrators, made the story better.

Perfect!

I could not put it down! The plot was really interesting and well written, it had a lot of spice, the narration was perfect. I felt invested in the characters throughout the book. I am off to read the next book on the series- I love how the epilogue lead right into the second book with Sloan.

Suspense equal to the romance

The heroine had a personality. The hero was your standard tortured alpha. So he was fun but he wasn’t what made the book better than dozens of other romances. What I liked about her was that she was a thinking adult who questioned the hero. But this story wasn’t romance with a little mafia in the background; it was as much suspense as romance. I’ve already purchased the next book in the series because I want to follow the next adventure.

Not My Kind of Trope

As I listened to this story, I realized I'm not into the mafia/gang war storyline. However, J.T. Geissinger is an excellent writer and I absolutely LOVED Perfect Strangers and Pen Pal!

Absolutely nailed…. It

Ok as a reader who doesn’t read romance / smut often - this is the perfect intro to the Mafia trope. As suggested by one of my friends who knew I wouldn’t be able to resist. The narrators are fantastic, the 🌶️🌶️🌶️is perfect & this thriller/fantasy lover was never bored. Bravo JT
