Get ready for the darker and dirtier side of New Orleans with a brand new alpha romance from USA Today bestselling author Meghan March.
New Orleans belongs to me. You don’t know my name, but I control everything you see—and all the things you don’t. My reach knows no bounds, and my demands are always met. I didn’t need to loan money to a failing family distillery, but it amuses me to have them in my debt. To have her in my debt. She doesn’t know she caught my attention. She should’ve been more careful. I’m going to own her. Consume her. Maybe even keep her. It’s time to collect what I’m owed. Keira Kilgore, you’re now the property of Lachlan Mount.
*Ruthless King is book one of the Mount Trilogy*
Full disclosure: Captor/prisoner stories historically aren’t my thing. The fact that Ruthless King is book one in a trilogy gave me pause. Ultimately, I decided to give it a go (obviously), but I’m still not sure what to think about Meghan March’s foray into dark romance territory.
On the one hand, I enjoyed the heck out of Keira. She is feisty, tenacious, and sarcastic. She kind of reminds me of me—if I owned a whisky distillery, attracted a-holes like flies to honey, and had a dangerous gazillionaire who desperately wanted to get in my pants.
Then there’s Mount. He’s an anti-hero through and through. In my opinion there’s nothing appealing about him. He’s vulgar, selfish, and has only two priorities: sex and power—how quickly he can pressure Keira to have sex, what type of sex he can force Keira to agree to, and how much pleasure he’ll get out of sex. I get that anti-heroes by definition aren’t kind, and trilogies require more time for characters to grow, but I need to find some redeemable qualities in a man before I want a romance to blossom with the heroine.
The last chapter is probably the most interesting and would be the impetus in me continuing with the trilogy. Damn those cliffhangers!
