Synopsis: Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago, following the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan—rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians.
Liam believes he’s getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need . . . the complete opposite of Melody. She knows exactly what type of man he is, and she would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life building. To the outside world they look like American Royalty, but behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance.
The Mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down all those who stand in their way.
Ruthless People Review
This book rocked my world and is worthy of 5 fan-freakin-tastic stars in my eyes! I absolutely loved every chapter. It had drama, sex, love, loss, excitement, humor, and suspense… it was awesome. This was a one day, can’t put the book down, read for me!
Liam Callahan and Melody “Mel” Giovanni --- the “Ceann na Conaitre” and the “Boss” --- the Irish and the Italian… arranged in marriage to merge their families. This is not your typical love story of bad-boy meets starry-eyed girl and changes to be a better person so they can live happily-ever after with rainbows and butterflies… no, this is a story of two bada$$, gun totting, killing machine, heads of the family, mafia babies that are arranged in marriage by their fathers to bring their families together for total control of the east and west… Romeo and Juliet, eat your hearts out. There is a new King and Queen, if they don’t kill each other first.
Liam captivated me from chapter one. He’s ready to take his place as the leader of the family and all he has to do is marry the woman his father has chosen for him, you know, a step ford wife to stand by his side. Mel is my new woman crush; (probably because she kind of scares me, but she is so awesome) she’s the boss in her family (literally) and is not going to let a man, not even her new husband, get in her way of total domination. Throw in some crazy Irish siblings, step ford wife sister-in-laws, a crazy Russian mafia family out for blood, and a police commissioner who thinks he can change the world… It’s a chaos and I loved every minute of it.
JJ McAvoy definitely knows how to keep her readers entertained and guessing. I can’t wait to see what she has in store next for these “Ruthless People”. Please hurry….
