Ruthless Reign Series #1
Ruthless Reign
I had just taken over the reigns of the Alpha Omega Cartel. I am only 19, but there are many who wants to make sure there is a "ruth-less" reign with me gone.
RUTH
At 19, I thought I would be the attending college, living in a dorm, pledging to a sorority and making googily eyes over the hot professor of my criminal law class.
Not becoming the heir to one of the biggest mob organizations in America.
My name is Ruth. And I am now the Queen of the Alpha Omega Cartel.
Dad didn't exactly tell me that our successful family business was the front of the Alpha Omega Cartel. I thought we were a mom-and-pop family food business that did so well, we diversified into other areas... not the Cartel!
RIFT
The Godfather had fallen, and now it was time to do some restructuring, but we have a problem.
The reign had fallen into the hands of his daughter, Ruth, the lost pretty blonde princess who never got her manicured fingernails dirty being a part of her daddy's dirty business. When I first laid eyes on her at her 16th birthday party, and I was 18, she took my breath away.
That was before I learned the truth, and now I want revenge.
She may be the new heir to the Alpha Omega Cartel, but I am going to make sure it will be a Ruth-less Reign.
**Ruthless Reign is a College Bully Dark Romance. There are adult themes like violence, mafia, bullying, and sex. Recommended for 18 and over.

Well, I was not sure I was going to like this book because of the FMC Ruth. She seemed a bit ditzy and naive. I was wondering why she was not asking the right questions with what is going on. I kept on reading. So when I got to the end I was shocked. I was like dang she fooled me. Then it all made sense and I was like yep this is going to be a favorite series of mine. So you know that Ruth is dealing with the death of her parents. However she meets Rift or say that he was going to try and come in and demand things only to be swayed. LOL, that was funny to say the least. So what happens with these two. Lets just say that the game is on and we are about to find out who is smarter than who. What will happen when the jig is up. Well it is about to get real with how this book ended. I want to know what will happen and if there will be more to these two.

Ruth or Ruthless
I loved this story and can't wait to find out what happens next. Ruth Santiago is a college student who loses her parents in an accident and has to take over the family business. Only when she starts looking into the books for the restaurants they are not adding up to what her father was actually bringing home before he passed and they were not showing the amounts she was expecting. Rift Rocco comes into her life and shows her what it was that her father actually did and where almost all the money was coming from. Since she was heir to the largest cartel in California she has the Rocco family and the Silverado MC coming after her to take over the Santiago family business. Only come to find out Miss Ruth is more business savvy than anyone even knew.

Once you start you won’t be able to put it down!
This series was slow for me to start. I couldn’t get past how ditzy and ridiculous Ruth was in the beginning but damn am I glad I stuck it out! I was shocked by how she outsmarted Rift and Silverado, how she showed them she isn’t some naive little girl that doesn’t know anything!
After I really got into the book I couldn’t put it down. I’m intrigued to find out what happens with the business and the guys. Does Ruth keep outsmarting them or does something develop romantically along the way? I can’t wait for book 2 to come out!!

This book is AMAZING ♥️ I couldn’t put it down for a second!! I had to know what happens!! There are quite a few twists in this one. Ruth and Rift completely melted my kindle 🔥🔥 They were fantastic characters, and together they were even better!! Ruth, who is only 19 years old, suddenly becomes the head of her family’s cartel, when her parents die. A cartel she knew nothing about. Rift, who has fallen for Ruth since seeing her at age 16 when he was 18, has his own empire. Does Rift want to be Ruth’s enemy or lover?? I highly recommend this book!! I can’t wait for book 2!!!!!

Book 1 of Ruthless definitely seems more like an introduction than anything as the first 75% of the book is setting up the plot. It seems like Ruth doesn't find out about her family secret until the middle of the book. The real plot happens within the last quarter of the book, and unveils a mind blowing twist I did not expect but liked very much. I enjoy the plot and am excited to see what happens in book 2 as the end of book 1 revealed everyone's true colors. I've got to say this has become one of my favorite pieces from Rachel Angel.

Wow didn't see any of that coming
Wow what a book. Throughout this book we see Ruth after finding out her parents are dead, having to start taking over the family business. That's when we also meet Rift who shows her many things to open her eyes. Whilst not being able to take his eyes off her and also with the added Silverado throwing his part into the ring. We see such a epic showdown at the ending of this book with things coming to light I totally didn't see coming. Really great start to a series and I can't wait to see what happens next

Wow, oh wow. This book grabbed me and kept me reading till the last sentence and then I needed more. It moves along at an amazing pace, keeping you reading. You will fall in love with these characters no matter what happens and you want to know more about them. By the end of the book you are in love with them and want to know what happens next. This story will keep you turning pages till you reach the end and then you need more, now. This book is a must read, no doubt about it.

Losing both her parents Ruth (FMC) gets a massive culture shock when she finds out exactly what her dad was. Its definitely an eye opener for her. More so when Rift comes calling with his own brand of complications. Ruth & Rift certainly steam together. So hot!! I loved that ending it completely threw me. I didnt see that coming and it was knockout. Its a great start to this series and i really enjoyed reading it

Ruth, a college student becomes the heiress to her father’s empire when her parents die in an accident. But does she know what the business is really about? Rift, the head of his own empire and completely attracted to Ruth decides to show her and, well, I won’t say any more. This read is one you gotta find out all the delicious deeds for yourself. I highly recommend it.

Ruth is left devastated after both her parents passed away and the secrets they left behind begin to unravel. Ruthless Reign is full of twists and turns and I was living for it. Rift was not expecting Ruth and decides to be there for her and help her out. These two had me second guessing them at every turn. I'm anxiously waiting book 2.

Fantastic read! Quick paced but not lacking in detail or action. Sexy, clueless Ruth has lost her parents and gained an unknown empire. Hot, vicious Rift knows what he wants and how to get it. Is she completely blind to the family business? You have to read to find out with the twist ending! Excited for book two!!

Wow this book grabs you from the very beginning. I couldn't put it down I'm loving the build up of this story. And holy ending I did not see that coming. I can't wait for the next book.

Great book
Definitely hooked after the first 3 chapters and the twist, that was some amazing writing for that to be so well hidden until right before the end!
