Ruthless Beasts

by Delilah Mohan

The Enemy's Daughter. A Heartbreaking Feud.

Shots fired louder than wedding bells when I was taken from the altar by my father's enemy on my wedding day. Forced into a marriage with my captor, I could do nothing but accept my fate as Adam Ferrari and his two best friends swept me away to their secluded mansion, thrusting me into their world of dark, haunting secrets.

My secret was a matter of life and death. His kept him barely alive. I hated these men, but I hated my father more. If I wanted to live, I had to hide my truths until I found my way to freedom.

But when I was accidentally exposed, these men defended me, vouched for me, cared for me and I found it near impossible not to fall for the man I married and his protective best friends. With more threats against us than I realized, and countless enemies, I was blind to the danger we were in until it was too late.

I was their beauty. They were my beasts. Could we survive our fairytale with our hearts intact?

Plot: 3.5/5 • Spice: 3.5/5 —————> Bellamy was standing at the alter ready to marry into an arranged marriage when it’s interrupted in gun shots. Mercer, Adam and Ace were there for revenge. After killing the groom, Adam steps into his place and marries Bellamy.


She’s moved into their house while they’re still planning the demise of her former grooms family and her family. Turns out the former grooms family killed Adam’s wife and unborn child. Hence why he’s out for revenge.


They fall first.


Bellamy’s secret is revealed when she gets a phone call confirming her appointment. Annnnnnd cue my least favorite trope: pregnancy. She’s already 12 weeks when they abducted her.


Once we find out she’s pregnant it becomes highly predictable. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like it. I just
constantly knew what was coming next. Ends on a solid HEA. The spice was fun. With each guy being a different personality they all brought something different to the table. The only person who develops as a character is Adam. Everyone else kind of just stays the same.

Strong start. Really strong. Then seemed to drag and sometimes it was hard to believe that these guys were 35. Then to pause all reality to believe that one old man managed to bypass all security at the end?

Absolutely loved the first 3rd of this book!

5 star pregnant heroine read.

Wonderful tropes. I loved all the guys. Cons-I did think the guys were a little too similar too one another could have been more unique and defined guys. I also did not love that for all of them it was instant love like I wanted some resistance. Great book even with that though. The ending was way predictable and obvious but it had to end that way. Pros- love that she is pregnant heroine and how they all want to be the dad and treat her and her baby like glass. That fact she was a pregnant heroine in this retelling made it 5 star. Pregnant heroine always a win. Story got a little slow at parts but fact she was pregnant kept it from dropping stars. 5 star pregnant heroine read.

Bellamy is kidnapped from her wedding that her father arranged to a man she didn't even know. The men who took her are enemies of Bellamy's father. They wanted revenge for something that happened years ago. These men have always been on guard and tough, but with Bellamy they seem to be relaxing. This is a wonderful story.

This story seems to fall under a beauty and the beast retelling storyline. It is a pregnant trope-which is one of my least favorites. The guys are instantly in love with our FMC, which made it seem a bit slow. There are definite trigger warnings which you should review before reading the book.
Overall, the book just fell flat for me. It felt like the book needed more antagonizing and push and pull with the guys for me.
However if you like mafia, why-choose novels, it’s worth a look at.

*Mafia beauty and the beast retelling
*RH
*Pregnant FMC

This book drew me in from the first scene where a forced Marriage is interrupted and the bride is kidnapped. What seems to be a bad thing quickly turns into the best thing that could have happened to belle. I love that all the guys fall for her, but aren't sure if they are allowed to. The dynamic of them navigating this new relationship were great.

I was hooked from the beginning! I loved how it just dived into the chaos and then turned into almost a slow-ish burn. Love the story and all the points of view. I wish he had a little more spice detail and maybe more relationship building details. But a Great Read!! Loved!!.

What lengths would you go to ensure the woman's safety you chose to protect? While unconventional, I like the way Adam chose to protect his unexpected bride. It takes a village, and I love how these men accepted what she brought to the marriage without question.

I read and reviewed a copy of this book.

This is a unique reverse harem twist on beauty and the beast. This hit really well with quite a few trope including pregnancy and mafia. It was a slower burn romance but it had a great build. Bellamy and her men are a great fit with each other, each with their own distinct personalities. I liked their relationships.

[Holly · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s a mafia romance with drama and suspense but between all this mess the characters involved are carrying and loving.
In this RH story MFC was kidnapped at her wedding by mafia as revenge to her Father’s Mafia.
Slow burn with nice ending.

I enjoyed Bellamy and her men. The storyline is solid and I liked the characters. The men have different personalities yet all fit Belle well. I liked the way everything came together. I kind of want Hannah's story now too. Overall this was a good read.
