Ruthless Force

Her Vicious Pack #10

by Layla Heart

Vera and her pack might have chewed off more than they should have, they’d gotten almost all the kids out, but now the Hearts have sent reinforcements, a lot of them…

When they broke into the building where the Hearts used to keep Mathew and Luca, there didn’t seem to be much of a struggle. They’d hoped that was because the Hearts weren’t prepared, but when the reinforcements from the Hearts arrived, that proved to be false hope.
Now, Vera and Luca are still in the building, Riley is with Mathew, who got hurt, Caleb is with one of Derrick’s teams trying to keep the Hearts at bay and Jorge is helping the kids to safety. The whole pack got separated, which makes everyone nervous.

The pack has to fight their way out, has to make sure everyone survives, but that might not be so easy…


This is the tenth out of twelve novellas following Vera and her mates in the Her Vicious Pack serial, a dark contemporary reverse harem/Why Choose romance set in a sweet Omegaverse world about a criminal found family empire with dreams of ‘expanding the family’.
This novella may include any of these steamy scenes, ‘I need tissues NOW’ moments, cries of ‘why, oh, why’ and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author).
This serial has MF, MM, FF and group scenes.

About the author

Layla Heart loves sexy romances and has a particular soft spot for broken boys and their damaged girls. When she’s not reading or writing steamy stories, she loves to nap with her two cats, preferably under a fluffy blanket, and play videogames. She has studied literature and creative writing but often finds that the couple of classes she took on coding are much more of a help in this new adventure as an author.

I really enjoy this series. I love the characters and getting to see them learn how to be partners and grow as people. They are always quick reads but I love them every time and I can't wait to see how this story progresses as it come to an end.

All the action we’ve been waiting for finally comes to a head, which had my heart pounding and stomach churning! There was some sweet relationship building as well, which was fun to experience. The implications of the all the drama are yet to be revealed so it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays in as we get to the final two installments in the series!

An action packed and spicy read following Vera and her pack as they rescue the kids and battle the Hearts. They are also preparing for the babies to arrive. Love the characters and their relationship with each other.
