Couldn’t have titled this one more perfectly because Simone was definitely ruthless! It was nice to see snippets of Mr. Dixon in this story, this man don’t play, whether in his book or whether he’s just making a cameo appearance.
It was hard to feel sorry for these characters sometimes as their poor decision making put them in some compromising positions. Despite that, I was still rooting for Jasmin and I wanted her & Alissa learn from their mistakes and not cross Simone again. Definitely didn’t predict that ending!

going looking to see what else Ms. King has in this vein.

Ruthless was the right word to describe Simone!
I didn’t see that ending coming, but it left me wanting more.

I simply can’t get enough of this author. When I saw that this book follows the infamous Simone, and some cameo appearances from Mr Dixon, I was already sold. & MAN did this book deliver! Ruthless was the perfect title because Ms Simone is NOT the one to play with. I really want to dive more deep into her story, to find out what made her so damn cold.
I was also rooting for the female characters in this book, so the ending definitely took me by surprise. I’ll take 10 more!!

Ruthless
This way this ended made me pull my hair, cry, throw my phone on the bed & left my mouth wide open! The fact that one of my favorites made an appearance (huge impact) was all I needed! I need more!!!! Cause I’m wondering if some of the answers to the questions we have are right in front of us?!?!

Keep them coming
Each new story about Mr. Earl Dixon gets better than the previous one. Simone is truly a force to be reckoned with! I like her style and hated Jasmine for crossing her. All I can say is that I'm anxious to know who her sister is and if she will heed Mr. Dixon's warnings about causing Sylvia any harm. Fantastic read!

Different Yet Good ...
This was a different read for me. I'm normally a reader of heartfelt, make you cry or yearn for love kind of novel but this, THIS was way in left field but I have to say I enjoyed every last word...
All I can say is babygirl lived up to her name and now I need some more.

Heartless!
Simone's got this vibe where she's like, don't mess with me, but she can totally be cool if you're cool. I was totally into this read and now I'm dying to see what comes next. That ending? Totally caught me off guard!

woww
I’ve read my fair share of books but Chile…A psychotic loan shark is next level. There was really no way out after rubbing her in the wrong way. The cliffhanger at the end has me ready for a part 2.

ruthless review
I figured the ending was going to happen like that, but I was not expecting for it to be that extreme. I’m not gonna lie. This is a cute quick read. I ain’t mad at it.

Intense
This story was so intense!!! I have a finally that there will definitely be some consequences to what happened to the last person. My heart is still pounding after reading that last line. Once again Ms King did not disappoint

Cold blooded
Simone played no games and set out to remind people why she’s ruthless. I’m always happy when the mysterious Mr. Dixon makes an appearance.

Simone was completely Ruthless in this one. Why play with fire when you already know the end result? This book shows what not listening or what making impromptu decisions costs you. The ending was so unexpected but it has me anxious for what’s next.

Mr. Dixon influence lives on. Quick read.

Wow
This book was good because Simone really became what she was afraid of. She think what she doing makes sense. But it's actually turning her into a very dark and evil person.

This chick...
Based on the cover, part of me thought she's going to be some alien demon situation LOL because ma'am, control those nails. But turns out she WAS evil, just in human form. This chick was an entire savage but I was here for it. I wasn't mad at this and I liked how it included Mr Dixon.
