Ruthless King: A Dark Mafia Romance

War of Roses Universe (Mice and Men, Book 1)

By: Lana Sky

Narrated by: Cordelia Diamond, Nico Haze

After a decade spent claiming a throne for himself in the seething violence of the criminal underbelly, all Donatello Vanici craves now is peace.

Only a union forged between his heir and the most powerful mafia family in existence could ever be strong enough to end the bloodshed for good, but the Stepanov head resists his overtures at every turn...

Until tragedy strikes, and forces Donatello’s hand.

Haunted by a past that dogs her every thought, Willow Stepanov will do anything for the man who adopted her — until a chance encounter with the enemy lands her right in the middle of a dangerous power struggle and a war that grows more violent and vicious each day.

But it's not just her future her captor holds hostage.

He is a man with nothing left to lose — while she may just lose everything.

Her life, her family, and her heart…

Mice and Men is a new stand-alone series in the War of Roses Universe.

LOVE THIS BOOK

this book is beyond amazing. The male narrator is good and the female is ok...not my fave...I listened to this at 1.7 speed. the story was sooo good and and having it on audible is amazing!!! I love Lana Sky!!!! her books are amazing

Loved it

A beautiful dark Mafia romance book that is so well written with wonderful characters and great chemistry. Guaranteed to keep your attention the entire time. Amazing narration.

Dark, Intense & Fiercely Consuming

Dark, intense and fiercely consuming, this book snared me in its seductive web, made me more than happy to be there and it left me desperate for the next book. Just in case you are unaware, this series is a spin-off of the War of Roses trilogy but can be easily enjoyed all on its own. However, in my opinion you will have a deeper and richer reading experience if you do enjoy that series first, simply because characters do reappearance and of course that is where we originally meet Willow/Mouse. There is a skillfully crafted and potent blend of deep emotions, tension, turmoil, drama and angst flowing seamlessly across every page and that delivers an intriguing and addicting start to a series that I need more of STAT!!! If you love your reads gritty, raw and with wicked sharp edges, you are going to need to dive in NOW! I loved the dual narration and I'll freely admit it is my preferred format. For me personally, it just makes it easier to get into and stay connected with the book. I thought both performances were excellent and I thought the actors voices fit the characters nicely.

Love it!

I love the dual narration and hearing all of the male voices from a male actor, and female voices from a female actor. It made the dual POV book so much better! I great story and continuation of the War of Roses Universe. I can't wait to see how this series continues. I just love Don and Willow!

Entertaining Audio Version

I am a fan of this book and had the pleasure of listening to the audio. Ruthless King has dual narrators. Something I didn't know I enjoyed until listening to this book. Like all Lana Sky books, this is a fast-paced gripping tale. Looking forward to audio for book 2.
