Publisher's summary

His proposal is ruthless: marry him or die.

Gabriel Corso is the stuff of nightmares and dirty dreams. He's a sinfully gorgeous mafia prince from a brutal rival family.

In school, he was the bane of my existence. The dark villain to my sheltered princess. Then–poof–he disappeared.

If only he’d stayed away. Turns out, our marriage is a term of his inheritance and now he’s returned to collect what’s his.

That means ripping me from my gilded cage. It means locking me beneath his searing flesh. It means war.

I’m not supposed to like it. To beg for more. To fall for him.

There’s just one problem: his obsession...it’s intoxicating.

Together, we could conquer this dark world, but only if he doesn’t break me first.

Ruthless Heir is a standalone dark mafia enemies-to-lovers forced marriage captive romance with mature themes and a happily ever after. It is the first book of the Ruthless Dynasty series.

Great listen

This was a great listen. The story didn’t go on and on about the same things and keeps you interested in the story through the whole book

Could not put it down

Love the character development alongside their brutal love story - I could listen to these narrators for hours!!!

Overall OK but could have been so much better

Complicated interwoven story line … with a romance between the tiniest woman ever and the largest man ever. Wow. Could have been so much better.

WOW just Wow

That is one weird couple and I don't know which one is crazier but I'm convinced it's her. This made me clutch my imaginary pearls.

LMAO

Listen for an ironic laugh with some very questionable sex scenes and a lot of over and over telling the reader how tiny the woman main character is. We get it she has tiny wrists! Who hurt you?! I wonder if the author is really a male because the sex scene with the gun is absolutely ridiculous. I just pretty much laughed the entire book. It’s a waste of another credit. You used to be able to do an exchange but no longer. Now that Spotify offers audiobooks I’m probably going to end my membership.

🖤 DARK.. DEPRAVED.. HIGH VOLTAGE SEX.. DELICIOUS 🖤

Gabriel’s full of revenge and wants to destroy Ray Byrne and his Mafia Dynasty and five years ago, while at the same High School, should’ve been the start of his plan a) make Bianca Byrne, the spoilt Mafia Princess, his.. his to destroy. They ended up just being archenemies instead and it turned out to be his biggest failure of his life.. or will it be? So now, five years later, this 25 yr old is on to his plan b).. kidnap and force Bianca to marry him. It was planned as a brutal and bloody Quest for revenge and to claim his power, his birthright and his inheritance.. but the action-packed, suspenseful, hot rollercoaster they share has Gabriel slowly changing his attitude, his focus, his goals and even his character. From an enemy to a Bodyguard.. from a ruthless kidnapper and jailor to an obsessed savage lover.. from a dominant deviant demanding daddy to a passion-consumed loving husband.. from a possessive dark Prince to a sex god soulmate dark King to so so much more.

And what about 21 yr old sheltered protected virgin doll Bianca? Guarded 24/7, shielded from the brutality of their world and a pawn to be used in a powerful plot. Well, her character growth was equally as impressive. From naive captive mouse to a demanding submissive forceful lover.. from a cherished daughter to an obsessive protective wife.. from a compassionate killer, shown through erotic high-voltage actions, to become a strong dark Queen.. and so so much more. Which was entirely due to Gabriel upending her gilded cage.

Wow.. this is a very intense, unpredictable, angsty, suspenseful, unique, complex rollercoaster with layers, twists, turns and varying levels of dark with sexually depraved, kinky, dirty and bloody sexcapades. There’s a war on two sides and violence, cold-blooded enemies with brutal agendas, dark scenes, betrayal and a happy for now ending. However, the plot will be picked-up by some of the other crazy characters that we’ve first met in this continuing the story. Fantastic narration by Samantha and Michael brought the breathless, the exciting, the suspenseful and shocking, the emotional ups and downs and torturous twists, the sparks, smoulders, flames and heat and all the colorful morally corrupt characters contained in this wickedly addictive story to life.. bravo you two. Great writing.. so bravo you three.

Worth a credit? Yes. Was it shocking? Yes.. but a very nice surprise from a new to me author I’ll be eagerly following for book 2 in this dark Ruthless Dynasty.

Fantasy of a teenage girl

Oh man this book…..if your looking for realism this one isn’t for you. The situations are a little to intense. The drama a bit to dramatic, the characters a little to broken or badass. Even the names are just a tad “to cool”. Basically this is the kind of story I would have dreamed up in math class when I was about 15.
If you dig this kind of omg so intense bad ass dark action love story, then this could be your winner. Otherwise leave this one for the teens and move on. Not worth the credit for all us jaded 30+s.

Ruthless Heir

Warning Many Triggers!
If you’re a sensitive reader/listener this book might not be for you. Some of the sex scenes are super graphic don’t get me wrong I like it😉rough but sometimes being so descriptive is a bit too much.
Storyline was good but in my humble opinion the narration was off so it made it long & drawn out and that’s a shame. This is the reason it only gets 4 stars. Is it worth the credit? Maybe only if you enjoy graphic sex scenes…Enjoy❣️

5 Stars aren't enough

Holy moly! If you like true dark mafia romance, then this is the author to read. Never have I found one book to fit what my idea of a mafia world would look like until now. The narration brings it out even more. This is not one for the weak. I loved every dirty moment of it!

SOOOOO GOOOOOOD!

One of my first in the realm of audiobooks, but phewwwww. Both actors are so good for the role. At first I didn’t like Bianca’s voice but it really suited her as the story continued. I cannot wait to start number 2!!
