The Ruthless
Brutal. Heartless. Ruthless.
Kingston “King” Toretto breaks everything he touches. Ruining lives and crushing souls, he’s ruthless to his core and heartless. With a body made for fighting and fucking, he’s trouble, bad for your health, and he’s been bad for mine for years. Cold, detached ocean blue eyes and broken past, he’s everything I didn’t need, but everything I wanted—if only he’d stay.
Complicated. Sassy. The Princess.
Samantha has always been my problem, my goddamn addiction. The body of an angel with the eyes of the devil, she’s got me wrapped around her manicured finger. A tight fucking hold on me. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her, aside from staying. Leaving is what I do, but I just didn’t realize leaving her this time around would be so fucking hard. Leaving her for the last time may just kill me.

He strung her along for years. It's sad she sort did the same to another. Don't be with someone else if your heart is with another.

Nevermind the Queen - The "King" and the "Princess" are where it's at! 😎💕
If you enjoy a sexy, bada$$ biker romance with enough angst to keep you guessing, then this is so worth your time!
I just found Jaci J and the Devil's Disciples about a week ago and have devoured the entire series and am now jonesing for the next....really good...really addicting!
My advice, start at the beginning of the series so you get the full effect, I seriously have lol'd at times and cried ugly girl style at others at some of these stories, in fact in about every book....which is rare and I feel really worth your time, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Another great book in this series. I love this series and the author's writing. This book, as well as others in the series, have triggers that all readers might not like. There is cheating but there's a HEA. It's about a relationship that spans 11 years with an H who refuses to commit. He's a Nomad for the club so he's not there all of the time. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great book
The Ruthless was a great story. Jaci J did a wonderful job on it. The story was written well and had a strong plot. Samantha/Princess and King were strong characters. Samantha was sassy and feisty and King was fierce and protective. He'd do anything for his Princess, I loved his possessive side. They were perfect for each other, they completed each other. Even though they had many ups and downs, they were perfect together. Their chemistry was off the charts Sizzling.
This was a great story, I highly recommend reading it. It's a 5 Star Must read.
Thank you, Jaci J. Wonderful work ❤
5 Stars!

Hell's Disciples MC (7)
I hate coming to the end of an excellent series, but I just have. Got bone to pick with Jaci J though, just reached the end and she's talking another book to come??? But I got the whole series to read back to back, I Hate Waiting. As you may of gathered cross with author, though not too much as I Loved this series, MC at it's best. Lots of hard mouthy bikers, who will kill for their woman, this last one with King and Sam, fantastic. If you really love MC books, don't mind foul language, brutal justice and some, lots of hard sex. Youngsters grab you some Jaci J, excellent

Some thing Ruthless are worth having.
Damnit, Jaci!! I teared up reading this book. There aren't words right now to describe this one. King is beautiful but so broken and to hear himself talk about how he is worthless freaking killed.
Samantha is relentless though in her love for King and it made me love their dynamic and tough as nails banter.
I have said it each book, your MC boys live up to the titles of their books and damn if I don't get all kinds of feelings within the pages of your stories!!

Another knock out story
Well she did it again with this story! I got it the minute it b went live, and couldn't stop reading until I finished it. Live how you still hear from the guys you have grown to love. King is definitely an alpha male If I ever seen one, with a fucked up out look of life. But of course we grow to love him! Bish will always be my man, as King is Jaci's, but I can appreciate him! Can't wait from more from the amazing Hell's Diciples MCm

Loved it,
King and Samantha such a great couple their story wasn’t easy but so beautifully well written. I loved the banter, connection and the constant battle with this unique and genuine couple. I started and couldn’t put this book down, I wanted to hate King but it was just so lovable and his alpha dominance stole my heart, even when he was denying the obvious I loved him.

King and Samantha’s story was fabulous it was full of drama and angst.
King is a man with no time for entanglements he lives his life on the road from one job to the next. The only constant in his life is Sam aka Princess but even then it’s on his terms.
I really enjoyed the dynamics of the story, we see the club members but they take a back seat to the unfolding relationship. We get inside King’s head and his struggle to accept his feelings.
Bring on more because I love those guys.

Loved these characters!
The flow of this book did it for me. Even though there were big gaps of time it didn't upset the story for me. The drama that tends to drag on in a lot of MC books wasn't an issue, it was the right amount for the characters personalities. I've read several of Jaci J 's books before this one but I can honestly state for the record I am now a loyal Jaci J reader and fan.

Sam and King
Sam has been going round in circles for the last 10 years. When she was you she hooked up with King and lost her virginity. Every time he's in town they hook up. She gets a stalker and her dad phones the best tracker King to sort out her problem. The only problem is her walls start coming down and love hits her. He leaves again only this time leaves her with a little something.

Loved it!
I just knew Sam and King's story would be epic and the author didn't disappoint! Even the mightiest fall but it just takes them longer to hit the ground. King did not want to settle down and over the course of eleven years he had no problem with seeing Samantha once or twice a year to tear up the sheets. But this time is different...feels different for him.
Long live the Queen who captured the King!

I love King! But can I say I loved the Princess even more??? I love a female character who is strong, independent and honest. Princess was all that and more. She made King feel things he couldn't handle but told it like it was anyway. Loved it! King was pure alpha all the way...he was protective and sexy. He gave his all....his way. I didn't put it down until I finished it. Cant wait for Tag!

Where's my King?
Hot alpha with an attitude. His princess keeps him in line. Lots of upheaval from start to finish. Baby boy Kane makes them solid! Love this book. One of my most favorites of the year!!!! Must read, you won't be disappointed

I absolutely loved loved this book....King was amazing and I loved how tough Sam was, there was a bit of everything, drama, angst, love...you name it, it had it. Would have liked to see the stalker story developed more but it wasn't a major thing forme.

For for a King...
Loved, loved, loved this book. It took a minute to warm up to King but it happened. I can sympathize with Samantha's dilemma. You both love and hate King pretty much through the whole book, but ultimately he wins you over! Great story!

🗑Spans years 10-11 , hooks up (fine) except h is a doormat. Keeping a H that treats you like shit is the standard. He’s still sleeping with OW chapter 45…there’s 54 chapters. I’m not sure what everyone else is reading

"Nothing in my life is more satisfying than being inside of Samantha."
4 Princess Stars!
Have you ever had a friend who was in a toxic relationship? The two were so bad for each other- on again off again... explosive... combustible... yet they couldn't let each other go! That is Sam and King's relationship, and honestly... I couldn't get enough of it. Drama central and I loved it! I don't normally lean towards drama but this just worked for me.
King was an alpha with a whhhooollle lot of issues. A pure asshole with a slightly redeemable side. Not the kind of man you dream about being with, not book boyfriend material in my opinion but when he FINALLY stepped up to the plate for Sam, he really stepped up to the plate.
Sam was a wild one. Fierce personality, drama queen, high maintenance, vixen, you name it. But she was so vulnerable to King and it was sooo cute.. although still sad. But I think we all encounter that one person in our lifetime who's our kryptonite.
Sigh...
This book was great though.
