About this eBook

He was her kidnapper and became her salvation. She was a thief and became his queen.

The minute Nicky Tarnovsky walks into my bar, I know he’s trouble. He’s not another playboy businessman in search of a casual hookup. Behind his bedroom eyes lurks the cold cunning of a brutal man. The attraction between us is instant, undeniable, and explosive. I’ve always been messed up that way, loving the wrong guy and suffering the consequences.

My world turns upside down when Nicky delivers me to a Colombian cartel as payment for a debt. Inside the idyllic walls of a tropical compound, we become playthings to the psychotic whims of the beautiful Valentina. She’s bent on destroying our self-respect with her dirty, sadistic mind games. Soon it’s obvious that Nicky is as much her victim as I am.

Any minute, I expect to die, and it’s all his fault. I should hate him for bringing this hell to my doorstep. I should consider him my enemy. However, the only thing I can think about is crawling into his arms after the torture. The longer we’re held captive together, the more my feelings become twisted. What should’ve been our first kiss might be our last. I don’t care that he’s a criminal. He’s the only thing holding me together.

What they don’t know is that I’ve only begun to fight.

The Ruthless Knight by Jeana E. Mann is a dark and twisty contemporary romance set in the same world we were introduced to in the Exiled Prince Trilogy and in the Rebel Queen Duet . This is the story of Sir Nikolay Reznik Tarnovsky (AKA Nicky) and the woman that broke down his walls and stole his heart (along with his watch, priceless painting, and Porsche). It is NOT necessary to have read the other connected series but you will know who ends up together so small spoiler alert. Calliope has had a hard and difficult life and done everything she could to keep herself and her sister safe, even if that means putting themselves in danger with some of the jobs they take. A fateful encounter with Nicky leaves Calliope on the run and Nicky desperate to find her, not because of their lusty encounter, but because he finally has a chance to escape the ties that have been binding him to a veritable hell on earth. But When Nicky realizes that he'll have to leave Calliope in his place he changes his mind and together, they have to fight their way free from a mad-woman. Well-written and well-paced, dark and twisted, tragic but also romantic, what with Nicky changing his ways and Calliope finding a safe place. Jeana E. Mann has fast become a must-read author for me. Enjoy!

Wow! This is an outstanding dark romantic suspense! Impossible to stop reading it! You can read this story as a standalone, but I highly recommend you to read The Exiled Prince Trilogy, and The Rebel Queen duet before. Believe me, you don't want to miss these stories. Ruthless Knight is so much more than what I had expected. Anyway, let's be realistic, Jeana E Mann never disappoints, and she will always amaze me with her gripping stories. Despite that fact, I wasn't prepared for Nicky and Calliope's heart wrenching story. I had an instant love for both of them. Their story is heartbreaking, suspenseful, intense, and breathtaking. In fact, some dark scenes were hard to read, not knowing what will happen next. I had shivers while reading. Sir Nicolay Reznik Rarnovsky (Nicky) is an amazing character, powerful, sexy, playboy, ruthless, but also extremely loyal, caring, and protective. It was hard to see him powerless. Calliope is a very strong woman, caring, protective, resourceful, and independent. Their instant attraction, and sizzling chemistry are unique and explosive. I really appreciated having both POV. The storyline is fast-paced, suspenseful, filled with danger, and twists and turns. The cast of characters is really impressive. I loved to see again Roman/Rourke, and Henry/Everly. Valentina's character is well portrayed, as a real she-devil, and a sadistic monster. I can't wait to know more about Jagger, Calliope's sister. The ending is beautiful, and I need more of Nicky and Calliope's story! Looking forward to read Absolute Power, Jagger's story. If you like dark romance, this one is definitively for you. I HIGHLY recommend it. I can't help wishing to have this story, and the intertwined series, in audiobook (read by the appropriate narrators). It would be amazing.

Nicky the brave knight: although you find out a lot of details about Nicky and why he has done what he's done throughout the years ,I still feel like he blames others for his actions and expect them to forgive him easily and understand without explanation. I was hoping for more of a Nicky's hilarious Antics however you don't necessarily get that in his book, it's more gritty and slightly raw emotion that him and calliope face.
