The second basically book continues where book 1 leaves off. We see different sides to Tato and Yena. Things have developed that you wouldn’t expect. This is still a quicker read to I throughly enjoyed this one especially since we get to see more of our characters. There seems to be more depth the both Yena and Tato. There is more heat in the second book that definitely adds to the story. I do wish the book was longer but it doesn’t stop it from being throughly enjoyable. In this one the drama seems to step up another notch. We see lies and betrayal and see the drama that unfolds from the lies and betrayals. The story is extremely well written and developed. It definitely pulls you in and keeps you glued to it. The ending definitely gives us a surprise ending and honestly can’t wait to see what is going to happen next. An excellent story that doesn’t disappoint.

This is Book 2 of A Dark Stockholm Mafia series. In this book, we see a huge change in Tato. The story is fast-paced and full of action. The steamy scenes are thrilling and left me pretty hot and bothered. As a character, Tato has so many layers that we see him slowly allowing Yena to peel those layers back. Undoubtedly, Yena means so much more to him than any of the other women in his harem. While the women are not there by choice, they've got their reasons not to be set aside and are not taking very kindly to Yena's developing role here. Danger is all around. Power is not absolute and immune to being contested. This story is a strong five stars for me as it is thrilling, difficult to predict, and a page-turner. This is a quick read and a developing story so it is definitely not a standalone.

This was a very interesting book. The characters are well written and developed. Yena and Tato's chemistry is very good and they seem to be falling in love with each other. Tato may have taken the other women without consent he never took Yena that way. It was interesting to see her willingly give herself to him. It will be very interesting to find out who was behind the attack and who helped them from the inside, I have a feeling that it is one of his harem women that is behind it. If you love a good enemies to lovers mafia romance then you should give this series a try it won't disappoint you.

Continuation of Ruthless: Yena & Tato’s story!

Yena is having a hard time with realizing if she’s okay because she’s developing feelings for Tato or if she is absolutely insane. I enjoyed seeing their connection continuing to grow organically, even with all of the chaos surrounding them. This book was a quick read and had lots of twists and actions. The spice was hot, especially with Yena and Tato, as well as Tato and his harem. I loved how Yena isn’t going to take any of those ladies attitudes and snide remarks. I loved the twists and all the action! It’s going to be interesting to see what else happens between these two! :)

Book 1 introduced us to Tato, He’s big and mean and kills people. Yena and her brother Joseph are the next characters. Joseph needed money and was working for Tato. He saw him use and humiliate a woman and Joseph wasn’t having any of that. Joseph ran off, taking the girl with him. Now the good part. Tato takes Yena as revenge. Of course she’s very scared but also finds him appealing. In book 2, we see more about Tato and Yena. Things are slowly exposed as they see the other side of each other. It’s still dangerous. It’s still steamy. I need the next book, I received an ARC copy from the author and this I my honest review.

Tato and yena’s story continue in this book.
With yena wondering how she can becoming attracted to someone who is heartless and Tato no understanding why he isn’t treating yena like all the other women in his harem.
It’s a fine line between exploring there connection and putting on a show to keep them safe.

I enjoyed this book and I’m looking forward to see where the story of Tato and yena goes.

As Tato and Yena become closer someone makes their move to put a stop to it. Yena is falling for the heartless monster, but the life of her brother is at stake. Conflicting emotions arise as they are both within new territory. What will happen next, and can they find out who is the mole within the organization before it is too late?

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily leave this review.

Ok, great book. It was a quick read and left me running to get more of this series. I had to go to the first book before I continued to read this. But worth going back to beginning. Lots of drama, steamy situations and some history of Tato. Yena seems to bring a softer kinder side out.

I'm volunteering this review as an ARC.

Yena is furious with Jacob, what was he thinking. Did my brother think he could just run off with one of Tato’s favorite mistresses and there be no repercussions. Yena thought Jacob has learned his lesson. But now Yena is the punishment for her brother’s behaviors. Will Yena survive and at what cost. No one takes what belongs to Tato and not suffer.

Great fast paced short story.

I love these short stories!! The author is developing their relationship and chemistry. Great sex scenes, very detailed with lots of drama. Tato has buried all his feelings. Horrible things have happened to him now he has no soul. Now he does terrible things. Will Yena help him? Read the awesome story and find out.

[Kenneth Lingenfelter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Tato has Yena and her brother captive. Tato is captivated by Yena and is treating her as special. Yena is starting to fall for Tato. He tells her his real name which no one else knows. Trouble from another mafia group. Very good story line.

Yena's about-face is crazy. But this author seems to come up with something to keep you coming back. I have to read the next book to see what "Mateo" does next and to, hopefully, find out who's behind the trouble. Also, does the shot ever happen? I gotta know.

4 ⭐️ 5🌶
This novella picks up right where Ruthless picks up. Yena is the captive of Tato. Yena is falling for Tato, and he is for her. In this book, Yena learns Tatos given name.
Want to see how far they go? Pick this up.

This is book 2 in the series, it continues where book 1 leaves off and we're seeing a different sides to Tato and Yena. There's more steam in this and I thoroughly enjoyed it . Can't wait to read the next book. I received an ARC for my honest voluntary review

[Tiffany Townsend · Rating 4 out of 5]

This installment was much better.
I enjoyed reading about Yena and her spunk.
But I still feel like Tato is a jerk.
Having a hard time with how Tato treats Yena.
I understand that she is not on Tato’s level and without his attention she would most likely be dead, but still.

[Kristen Kull · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good 2nd book in this series. Much better written than the first book.
Tato and Yena continue to clash.
I'm glad I decided to stick with this series. I wasn't sure after all the grammar and writing errors in the first book.
Lots of sex, violence and intrigue.

[Caya Walls · Rating 5 out of 5]

Listen, Yena is an incredible FMC. And Tato sharing his real name with her... ugh, I loved it.
