A review by jaimejustreadsromance
Ruthless by Gina L. Maxwell

5.0

If you thought Shameless was hot, wait until you get your hands on Ruthless!!! I'm actually quite surprised that I didn't spontaneously combust from the heat between Addie and Roman.

Much like in Shameless, the plot line for Ruthless was just the right amount of taboo that made me nervous but kept me interested. I admit, for a lot of readers, this won't be THAT taboo but, for me, Roman's kink is right on the border of yes please and I'm not sure this is for me. That being said, Gina L. Maxwell has a way of writing that makes me second guessing my sexual limitations and frankly I can't get enough.

Roman is the perfect balance of hardworking and professional by day and ruthless and sexy by night. And the piercings and tattoos...oh my. Addie is confident, strong and up for any challenge. The two of them together are combustible. Addie brings out the best of Roman while accepting the ruthless part of him and he has a way of bringing out her vulnerable side and pushing her out of her comfort zone without breaking her trust.

The sexual connection between them was really the most powerful thing for me though, because it wasn't just physical, it almost felt spiritual which I didn't expect at all. I'm questioning everything I thought about this kink and there's nothing I like better than broadening my horizon.

It seems that Mrs. Maxwell is exceeding all of my expectations with this series and from what we learned about Austin in this book, I have a feeling that she will be three for three and I can't wait.
