Ruthless Enemy

Ruthless Enemy is the first book in the Ruthless Mafia series. It's a dark mafia, enemies to lovers with a second chance trope. This book has lots of fast-paced action, steamy scenes, no cliff hangers, a surprise daughter and a HEA. I gave this book a 3.5 star rating.<br /><br />Tre Capitani and Lorelai met in high school and fell in love. His family is mafia and hers is the police so they are forbidden to be together. Lorelai's father was shot and killed and Tre was convicted and sent to jail for 15 years. Lorelai testified against him, which he considered a betrayal since he had already proposed to her and what belongs to a Capitani is forever!<br /><br />Tre is released from jail, finds out where Lorelai is in Witness Protection and goes to kill her. Surprise...he finds his daughter as well so, now he kidnaps the both of them and plans on them being a family. The daughter is kidnapped by a unforseen enemy who actually wants Tre dead.<br /><br />Lorelai is no weakling and stands up to Tre and his family. The desire is still there between them but will Lorelai survive the threat against her own life in time to see her daughter saved?

3.5 stars<br /><br /><br />Ruthless Enemy is a steamy, dark and second chance sort of romance.<br /><br />To be true, it took me a while to get into it since I found some parts of it rushed and confusing, and let’s not talk about the male character Name “Tre”; who on heart name its child Tre, which means Three in Italian? And soldatos which means nothing In Italian. <br /><br />Other than that, I found the plot intriguing even if there were some cliques here and there, but it’s okay; it was a fun and easy read that let me destress from all the crime, thrillers and horror novels I’m used to read. <br /><br />The drama, the darkness, the steaminess and the strong female character to the thing and made me enjoy the whole, rendering me hooked up and in need of the next one.<br /><br />.<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book one in The Ruthless Mafia Series and it is Lorelai and Tre's story and it is a great start to a new series and definitely a must read. Lorelai and Tre have history as they met in high school fell in love but had to keep there relationship secret because of there backgrounds as Tre is from a mafia family and Lorelai is from a police family as her father is a sheriff but when she has to testify against Tre he feels betrayed and ends up in prison and he is determined that when he is released he will find her and seek revenge only things don't always go as planned because when he eventually finds her he finds out that he has a daughter and that changes the playing field. The chemistry between Lorelai and Tre is still as strong as ever even after all this time but will be be able to forgive her and this be there second chance and become a family only time will tell what the outcome will be for them all. There are twists and turns that have you turning the pages to see what would happen next and I couldn't put this book down as it was so addictive. This is the first book that I have read by this author but definitely not the last and I can't wait to read more of her book's in the future.<br /><br />I Voluntarily Reviewed a Copy of This Book.

Unlike most mafia books, this one had characters in their 30s with the secret child being a teen by the time she was discovered. It was a twist that was unexpected and delightful! Loralei sent Tre to prison when they were both just 17 and she was unknowingly pregnant for the murder of her father. Tre got out after 15 years and vowed revenge but changed that plan after seeing her and discovering her “sister” was really her daughter. Tre also realizes he still has feelings for Loralei (hence the romance) and opts to bring them with him. The story definitely isn’t linear and they encounter many twists in their journey, which the author writes so well and engagingly! This is my first McKenna Miller book but I’m excited to dive right into the next two in the Ruthless Mafia trilogy!.<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I really enjoyed this book so much couldn’t put it in down at all but it’s really confusing what order to read this series in! I know the author tells us what order at the end of each book but when I personally tried it I was still getting confused. So I guess each person who read this series can decide for themselves. Anyway this book is a wonderful fun book to read as strong independent woman which I always love and another amazing mafia this one has side nobody knows about yet. I personally love how he treats his his woman even after what she puts him through. This book definitely has mystery and other things that we love in mafia books and will have you guessing things through out as read among also wanting to know what happens next!. It’s a quick read too in my opinion <br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

However, after years apart they are about to find out that they still have quite a lot in common, a daughter who they now need to come together to protect using both sides of the law. This is a long book filled with lots of interesting writing and plot points about the two main characters to create a well developed story which I will love re-reading. I highly recommend reading this book and finding more by this author. You won't regret it!<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I loved the book it was amazing, the author McKenna Miller really has really brought the characters to life. This story has a lot of action, drama, kidnapping, enemies, anger, fear, courage, strength, secrets, arguing, lust, passion, love, respect, euphoria, and family, Mafia family. Tre and his brother went to jail for fifteen years for killing a police officer and now he is out after doing time. He finds out he has a daughter Brianna so he wants to get to know her and Lorelie. Lorelie was the daughter of the Cheif of Police, she also had kept the story from her daughter that she was her real mother not a sister..

I haven’t read anything from this author so I was happy to try and I really enjoyed this book for the most part. I do love mafia reads. I did find small parts read slow but if you prevail those parts were small. Maybe a bit of editing. The story follows Tre and Lorelai. They met in high school and, for the most part, kept their relationship private as Tre's family is mafia and Lorelai's father is the sheriff which basically put’s them on opposing sides. Lorelai is forced to testify against Tre and his brother and both ended in jail and she has to enter WITSEC. They don’t meet each other again til 25 years later. Lots of twists and turns. I look forward to another.. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This second chance mafia romance was a great read! Loved the chemistry between Lorelai and Tre and the love they still had for one another years after they were separated due to circumstances outside of their control. <br /><br />Lorelai was the daughter of the police chief and Tre was the son of the Mafia boss. They had a romance in high school but when things go awry during a heist, the police chief is killed and Lorelai is forced to testify against Tre, sending him to prison. Fast forward to the present, Tre gets out of prison and tracks her down to take his revenge but gets caught up in his old feelings for her and she is keeping a secret daughter from him.<br /><br />I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Excellent and unpredictable<br />I liked this story by the surprising and interesting side of the reversal of the situation between Tre who the son of a mobster and who comes out of prison to kill his ex Lorelai who had denounced him, but he finds himself sparing her.<br />Their story seemed difficult to write from this beginning, but finally, it is torrid, intense, more complex than it seemed because of the dangers which threaten them, but also by the unexpected characters of these two characters. <br />I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
