Ruthless People #1...the book that started it all......"One Marriage + Two Bosses = 3X the Chaos."To the outside world, they look like American royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, and rebuilding the city. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two bosses, cultures, and hearts.Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago and follows the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan - rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Theirs is an arranged marriage with the goal of ending years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam assumes he's getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need...he’ll soon find out that his wife to be does not fit that mold. Melody knows exactly what type of man Liam is and would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life earning. The mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for their family, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down those who stand in their way.

"This book was...entertaining. <br/><br/>I liked it. Especially since I listened to the audiobook. <br/><br/>There were many times I laughed or gasped. Overall, I was intrigued.<br/><br/>I found Declan and Coraline's story distracting, though. And their story made Melody (the heroine) a bit unlikable. <br/><br/>I didn't want Declan (the hero's cousin) to lust after Melody, and so I felt bad for Cora (Declan's wife) and disliked Melody. <br/><br/>I loved Liam (the hero.) He is...special and he and Mel deserve each other. <br/><br/>(I want the audiobook version of Declan and Coraline's story.)<br/><br/>Better yet, I want them to have their own series."
