The Ruthless Groom Release Blast & Review

 

The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy is now live!

 

I didn’t plan to marry a reclusive heiress. Lucky for me, I find myself attracted to my beautiful new bride. Our arranged marriage connects two powerful companies. That we’re compatible between the sheets is a bonus, but I didn’t bargain on her ex showing up at the wedding reception uninvited.

That pushed me right over the edge.

I protect what’s mine, and Charlotte is now mine, whether she likes it or not. Our honeymoon is a disaster in paradise. I’m angry. She’s resentful. All those swirling emotions explode in the most physical ways.

But even as I’m drawn closer to my new wife, there’s still a threat looming out there. Seamus McTiernan is determined to destroy what we’ve created.

I won’t let anything tear us apart.

He has no idea who he’s dealing with. I will end him.

Watch me.

My Review

Oh hot dog!! I am so digging Perry and Charlotte and couldn’t wait to get more of their story after we left off at the end of The Reluctant Bride. Luckily The Ruthless Groom, book 2 in the Arranged Marriage trilogy, picks right up where it left off. I was just as drawn into this second installment of Perry and Charlotte’s trilogy as I was the first. I will say this story is packed full of delectably dirty scenes, engaging storyline and fantastic characters. 

This book finds Perry and Charlotte reaping the benefits of their arrangement and giving into their explosive chemistry. But a blast from Charlotte’s past brings out a more jealous, possessive, and distrustful side of Perry we hadn’t seen before. I would say we’re for sure seeing Winston Constantine’s brother and the son of Caroline Constantine. He may have some struggles but he’s super protective and territorial over what is his, and his new wife is his in every way. 

How will Charlotte and Perry navigate their growing feelings while also battling distrust towards each other? I loved seeing deeper into these characters.  As the layers are being peeled back, and as they are beginning to question if their arranged marriage could have the potential to be more than either of them could have ever imagined. 

Y’all! Protective Perry is Positively Perfect! Even when he is frustrating me, I’m obsessed with him. These two are like the seventh circle of hell hot. They go at each other when they are mad and each can give as good as they get. They are angry at their situation at the lack of control they have over their own lives. But either way they are fantastically explosive together. I find myself wondering when I turn to the next page will there be fighting or you know… 😏

This book has tons going for it but it ends on a jaw dropping cliffhanger. You MUST read The Reluctant Bride before reading this book. Neither is super long but they are addictive so trust me when I say you will plow right through them. Here are just a few things you can expect from The Ruthless Groom. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Phenomenal Five Star Read

🖤 A Billionaire Alpha Hero who will frustrate you

💍 Arranged Marriage

💕 A beautiful and sweet heroine

🖤 The unforgettable Midnight Dynasty world.

🔥Scorching Hot Scenes 

🌪 Surprising Twists

Titan Cover Reveal

Titan - CR banner

I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

Titan, an all-new dark and twisted standalone from bestselling author Shantel Tessier is coming May 29th, and we have the smoking hot cover!

TITAN

I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

A King is supposed to rule his Kingdom using any means necessary to demand respect.

I’m not a weak man… A King kneels to no one.

I’ve only ever cared about one other person in my life, but the thing is, she never belonged to me. And before I could tell her how I felt, she left.

Now she’s returned, needing someone to save her.

Emilee York was always meant to be mine, and I’ll see to it that happens. I always get what I want, even if that means I have to take it.

And she’s no different. She’ll be my queen, one way or the other.

EMILEE

When I left Sin City behind me, I had no plans to return. I avoided everyone, even my friends, to stay in my bubble. I’ve always been the kind to pull away and run when things get difficult.

But one phone call changed everything, and I was racing back. If only I had known what was waiting for me.

Titan reappeared like a ghost haunting me.

One look and I knew he recognized me. I never forgot him or what we shared. Those feelings that no one else knew existed between us.

I ignored them back then, but now they are more intense than ever.

“Get on your knees…” He demanded I kneel for him.

I tried to act like he didn’t affect me, but he knew. He remembered the way I reacted when he would touch me. And just like he was taught to do—he used my weaknesses against me.

He staked his claim, and I became his queen to use how he saw fit.

What makes it worse is that I crave him, and when I kneeled, it was willingly.

But was it for nothing?

EXCERPT

“Why do you hate me so much?” If you do, why the hell are you engaged to me?“Might have to do with how much of a bitch you are.”“Oh, I’m sorry.” I smile. “Did I steal your title, asshole?”He pauses, head tilting to the side. “What did you just call me?”“A-S-S-H-O-L-E.” I continue smiling, taunting him. “Do you want me to spell it for you again—”My words cut off when he’s at my face, kneeling on the bed in front of me. His hand wraps around my throat like a shackle. He’s not squeezing, but the firm grip is enough to restrict my air supply and my thoughts.A frightening chill forms goose bumps along my skin as I stare at his darkened, merciless eyes.The sense of bravery I gained a few seconds ago evaporates into thin air. My shoulder blades snap together as if telling me I should be scared.This is a scary person.He’s fucking terrifying.The need to run away from him hits me again, clawing under my skin and pumping in my blood.“You seem to be taking your amnesia game way too seriously, so let me remind you of how it goes.” His thumb rubs my jaw like a lover’s caress when in fact it’s a Grim Reaper’s kiss.It’s cold.Everything about him is freezing.My pulse roars in my ears like a distant thunderstorm.He’s invading my space like a natural disaster, impossible to stop or prevent.Still, I manage to choke words out. “You think this is a game? What type of person pretends to have lost their memories?”“The type who doesn’t want people to know what they’ve done.”“What I’ve done?”“Shhh. Don’t talk.” He presses his thumb to my lips, and I can’t help the pulses taking flight under my skin. “When I speak, you listen.”

My Review

Yes, Yes, Yes!! Twisted, Astonishing, Unputdownable! This book will take everything you think you know about bully romance and knock you on your fanny! Nothing about this book was predictable. NOTHING! From the start I was on the edge of my seat. This book was slap full of insane, intriguing and the most mind-bendingly mysterious moments.

Forget adulting or anything else from the moment you start because I assure you… You.Won’t.Stop.Until.It’s.Done!! Then you will continue to check and scream out in frustration to see if more pages will magically appear!!

Reina is unexpected, she is a contradiction to everything you expect and you can’t help but to feel every emotion she is as she is going through it. The frustration she’s enduring as she discovered who she was through the eyes of others. Wow! Just Wow! That’s all I can and will give you. 😘 It leaves you feeling as perplexed as she is, you love and hate her as much as she does herself! I happen to love complex characters like herself and love the brilliance Rina displays when writing them! 🙌🏻 Ah-May-Zing!

Asher is the hot, popular, angry playboy. But something had to contribute to that deep rooted anger right? The way he acts towards his fiancé is confusing and frustrating, but it’s also hot, and sometimes scary. I love the mystery surrounding what’s driving him. He is baffled at times by Reina’s behavior but doesn’t trust her for anything. I’m so excited to see what’s coming in book two. Like I’m dying for this conclusion y’all!

My Cr8zysockbookblock blog wrap up for this book! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐-  Rina Kent is the dark and mysterious queen. She never fails to deliver something that will leave us gasping for more. I was captivated and spent from a myriad of emotions this book ran me through, and I loved every heart dropping moment! I don’t know how I will make it until the next book. I need the conclusion, it’s like an obsession at this point. Lol 

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥-There is nothing extremely off the chain hotter than some Hate Sex!! 🔥 am I right?!?! Yup, so HOTT! 

🌪Cliffhanger Warning-🌪🌪 TOTAL Cliffhanger! This is a duet and you WILL NOT reach resolution in this book!!
