Ruthless Bachelor
People say I don’t have a heart…or a soul. That I’m not capable of caring about anyone but myself. They’re wrong. I love my family, even my troublemaker little brother. Women? Meh, not so much. I learned the hard way to never confuse my heart with my dic… well, you get it.I have the perfect life. I answer to no one and everything I do is on my terms. Nothing gets in the way of what I want, and yes, that includes women. I’ve had countless attractive women in my bed, for a night, but never more than that.Heads up ladies, I have very special skills that women crave, but I’m a one and done with you kinda guy. Don’t give me your number. I won’t be calling you. Names are optional. I’ll probably forget it anyway. I’m not a complete ass about it, I always make sure to have a car waiting in the morning.And then Anya walks into my neat, compartmentalized life and now the jokes on me. One taste of her and I want more. Need more. Crave more. Does Anya really believe that she can deny me? Hasn’t anyone told her that I play dirty? I’m not going anywhere because I know I have what she can’t resist. One problem, she seems to hold the same power over me. My name is Hunter but I might just have become the prey.*Contemporary Romance BWWM Interracial Novel HEA*

89 books388 followersThe characters I write will not be perfect. None of us are. They will make mistakes. All of the hero's will have redeeming qualities, but on the outset, you may not be their biggest fan. My heroine's will be the kind of women you want to hang out with. They're the women next door, down the street and around the corner. They are the ladies you would want to spend time with on a Saturday night drinking a martini.
I have been an avid reader of romance novels since the age of 14 and know what appeals to me as reader. My goal is, and will always be, to provide that same experience for the women and men who read my novellas and short stories.
I’m a former Marine and served for 8 years, so strong military men will always be a favorite topic of mine. I will continue to write stories with military heroes’ front and center. I’m also a fan of Alpha-males and strong women who love with everything they have.

A steamy romance read where development and depth were lacking.
I couldn’t picture the characters because the author only showed a few sparse details of them. For example, at 14% of the story I found out the heroine was brown skinned, from the colour of her cheeks and legs. I had to guess things on my own because they were not that straightforward.
While the story was written in the past tense, some of the sex scenes were in the present!
It was an easy and predictable read that didn’t excite me and only scratched the surface...

It was okay. I wasn't convinced and I didn't buy into his argument of why he was interested in the heroine. The story doesn't chart new territory or put a fresh spin or twist on a staid trope. The heroine's best friend disappeared from the story.
I've enjoyed some previous books by this author and I'm looking forward to reading 'Blinded by Love' dropping in October. SIDEBAR: This author needs an editor or fresh eyes to review her stories. Anya's dress changed from red to black, this author is too seasoned for the typos etc that I find in her books.
Read It! Your opinion may differ.

Loved it!
The storyline was enjoyable and I loved the main two characters. I had this book in my library and finally decided to read it and I am glad I did. I only wish it was more to the story. I wanted to know what happen to Phil and Christine after their stunt.

Author Ruth Cardello wrote a story about a place where very wealthy confirmed bachelors lived, no woman allowed except for in the lounge where they can go and meet the men living in the Bachelor Tower. Ms. Cardello invited other authors to write a story in this series and Ruthless Bachelor is one of the stories included and written by Reana Malori. This is my first read by this author and she did a great job as this story fits in quite nicely with the theme of this series.
Hunter Malone is a confirmed bachelor, vowing no need for a wife or family; work being his only interest, until he lays eyes on Anya Newton and he’s a goner. After one night with her he decides he doesn’t want to let her go and sets out to make her his. I loved Hunter’s character as he was such an alpha, which are my favorite kind of heroes. Once he figured out what he wanted nothing got in his way of making it happen. Anya is such a good person and deserved all the good things, not to mention Hunter’s total devotion that he brought to her and her son. Ruthless Bachelor is hot, sexy, romantic and a good read and a nice addition to this series.

This is an amazing story that shows the evolution of the author known as Reana Malori. The characters came to life in a way that left me breathless and cheering.
Hunter Malone took one look at Anya and it was over for him. The way she took over his mind, body and emotions left him confused and a bit angry. He figured all he had to do was bed her once and he'd be done. Nobody told him the side effects of meeting the one.
Anya wasn't expecting Hunter and she wasn't ready fro him either. The attraction was so strong and she felt she could do the hit it and quit it thing and suffer no after effects. Little did she know that the after effect was the obsession with Hunter.
Together they stalk love and then free fall into .... Well, buy the book and find out for yourself.
Masterful job Ms. Malori!!

Ruthless Bachelor
Quick question about Phil, has he always hung around for Hunter’s attention…
Phil seemed to have this aggression towards Hunter; will Phil’s story be told…
Carrie dragging Anya out was the meeting of half-a-universe awaiting to join…
Anya allowed herself freedom and later discovered blissful happiness…
Hunter found a distraction that he was unfamiliar with and clung to hope…
Hunter lived up to the name in the title…
Anya analyzed a situation and left room for a discussion…
Carrie was a wounded individual that wanted Anya to be wounded unconsciously
Hopefully, Carrie will find her prince…
Alphas living in a high-rise surrounded by gorgeousness (jealousy bound to occur)

Finding love when not looking…
Okay I am all for having a bad life experience and not knowing your worth but Anya got on my nerves. I don’t know how much Hunter needed to tell her that she is all he wanted for her to understand and then her friend Carrie comes along (bitter) about the friend and flys off at the mouth. The scene at Hunters that involved him breaking her heart (which he didn’t) with Phil and Christina and Anya stomping off like a brat made me dislike her again. I was screaming shut up and listen to him before you fly off because of your insecurities! Over all this was a nice story and definitely worth the download.

Anya and Hunter - A forever deal
What can I say! Another great book by Reana Malori. That Bachelor Tower was a wicked place…a place for hookups. Hunter and Bryce, over the years, have gone through a lot of women. But when Hunter met Anya, that first night, he knew she was different. As time went on, he met her son Malachi and he was smitten. He wanted them in his life forever and he’d impregnated Anya, adopted Malachi, and planned a wedding by the 4th month of her pregnancy.
My only regret is not knowing how Conall handled Phil and Christina for their collaboration to break up Anya and Hunter.

Hunter was a super alpha male. He knew what he wanted and would stop at nothing to get it. He thought he was living his best life until he met Anya and he saw there was someone who could make life even better. These two had a whirlwind relationship but I love how both Hunter and Anya embraced the possibilities even when doubts would creep in. Reana gave the reader a steamy love story with a heaping dose of alpha male, a few twists, and a strong heroine that wasn’t going to make things easy. Really great read and I would definitely recommend this book!

Loved this story!
Hunter and Anya made a great pair and their love was off the charts! The only complaints I had were the issues with the two opposite. I wanted details on how they got theirs! Also, what happened with the business deal that Hunter was pursuing? Even though I know what happened to the company, it would have been good to know he got the deal he wanted! This, however, did not detract from the overall goodness of this book! I love all of Ms. Malori's books and this one is no exception! Good read!

Meh..
This book was a miss, for me. It wasn't bad it was just boring and as such, it took me way longer to read than it should have (4 days because I kept putting it down to do other things including reading a different book in its entirety.)
Hunter was interesting, Anya was bland, Carrie was underdeveloped as was Bryce. Christina's issue seemed to be jealousy but we never learn about Phil's hostility towards Hunter was about. Not a bad story but not a memorable one either.
There are minor editing issues that were a bit distracting.

Hunter’s heart
Hunter knows what he wants and goes after it and Anya was someone he wanted but he did not know that she came with a child. That didn’t stop him still from wanting Anya it just made him more determined to have her and her child as his own family.
Conall and Tatiana’s appearance in this book was a great surprise because I was wondering if I was going to her from this couple again.
Hopefully we get to hear from both of these couples in the near future and hopefully Bryce will find that special someone that will change his way of thinking also.

Back with another great book of the Bachelor Tower series, I loved this story and while the series is not new to me, author Reana Malori was. Reana’s story of Hunter and Anya falling in love was hot and him taking care of her son Malachi was heart melting. I laughed thinking of my daughter at Malachi’s age and how she lived on chicken nuggets too. This book was definitely a five star read and I am pleased to find a new author to read.

The Bachelor Tower series ranks high on my must re-read go to list. Ruth Cardello had me at hello and my heart has yet to say goodbye. So when I found out that Reana Malori had decided to try her hand at seduction of the heart via the BT world I was intrigued. Ruthless Bachelor did not disappoint. From alpha behavior to breathtaking romance with a dash of cuteness on the side, Malori made her visit all her own and with characters like Hunter and Anya left some big shoes to fill.

When I say Reana Malori put her foot into this book, she put it in there!!! Hunter and Anya's story was exceptionally written very well. I love how she writes about strong black women that gives you a sense of pride and you can see yourself in these women. The spark was lit and kept getting more intense as the story went on. BUY this book and I guarantee that you won't be disappointed. Bravo Reana Bravo!!
May 6, 2021
Yes, Reana Malori does it again! This book is EVERYTHING!!! Hunter really believed he could live life without having the one special person in his life...well Anya showed him. This read is edgy, sexy and off the charts hot. The author gives us a story with a great plot, relatable character interaction and steam that's lifting the romance off the pages. I highly recommend you one click this book, you will love it!!!

He left his bachelor in the past.
This was a sweet story about a single mom out for a night of fun who has a one night stand with a career bachelor. Of course after that one night they’re all each other can think about and our H is not resting until he has his woman.
I liked the relationship between the H and h, and little Malachi was adorable.
The only thing missing was the H POV in the epilogue. I really wanted to know how he handled Phil and Christina.
Solid read!

Loved this story Hunter was beast!
I gave this story a four stars as it deserved it. Anya and Hunter were fire, their relationship was steamy, passionate and dreamy. The story was quick and to the point some parts could have been more in-depth as I wanted to know what happened to Phil and Christina but on the whole the story was entertaining and the sexy scenes were hawt, hawt, hawt!!!!!

Got on my nerves....
This book got on my nerves. This should have been a$$hole bachelor. I like I confident he was but damn he was something. Very few people enjoy each other before they get pregnant. These old effin women don't know about birth control. The story was good, in places. Whatever happened to Christina and Phil? Next time I hope to read about confirmed bachelor Brice.

I waited to read this book. I wanted to read this book. I am sad to say I don't like quick romances. Yet, the quick romance between Hunter and Anya was amazing. Hunter roared alpha from the moment you were introduced to him. Anya did not need Hunter to be complete but she wanted him. She did a very manly thing when they first met and that drove him to her.
I enjoyed the storyline, the characters and the author hasn't disappointed me. I would encourage you to read this book and see for yourself.

Good Good!
We saw a girls night out turn into two people meeting and realizing that that were meant to be everything to one another. I loved the fresh look at the single momma and the I love you but I can make it.(that's without attitude) The dialogue from the story is really good and the story flows effortlessly. This is and was a good story,something that's going to keep you enter.

Hunter and Anya
This was a cute story. The timberline was a little confusing, but the story still held up.
Anya met Hunter at a bachelor condo environment. What they thought was a one night entanglement was actually the start of a life together.
I want to know more about the dark side of Hunter, I want to know what happened with Carrie (Anya's BFF) and Bryce. Where was Hunter's brother Caleb??? So many unanswered questions, but still a good read.

Real Yummy !!!
Love, marriage, family was never in his agenda, he thought he had everything he needed, he had no shortage of women… he hardly does a repeat. All that changed when beautiful Anya walked into the Bachelor Tower’s bar with her friend, attraction was mutual between Hunter & Anya, she had no expectations and he thought he wanted one night. Oh boy… Hunter is ruthless in business and guess what ?! he would flip the world upside down for Anya.
Swoooooon !!!

Excellent read! This installment in the Bachelor Towers series was an excellent read. While it included the usual ruthless businessman, it was more centered on the family aspect. Hunters reaction to Malachi was refreshing. Men like him are often portrayed as wanting nothing to do with a single mother. Malachi was such a precious little chicken nugget.

Nice intro to Bachelor Tower Series
I loved the concept of the Bachelor Towers and can’t wait for more stories in this series.
Hunter, a consummate bachelor, takes one look at Anya and can’t resist having her again and again.
Single mother Anya is a bit reluctant to let Hunter into her world.
Enjoyable read.

This was a really good read, short but definitely packed a punch! Reana Malori is an amazing writer, all her books draw the readers in and I have yet to find one that I didn't care for. Hunter is a true alpha male. Anya I could really relate to and see myself. Not sure about the other books in this series but I would definitely recommend and read more if Ms. Malori wrote another.
May 13, 2021
Loved the concept...a billionaire apartment complex (supermarket) where women can mix and mingle. What's not to like? I would have liked to have read more about Hunter's background where he eludes to a criminal past because he seems able to walk a straight and crooked line. Can't wait for the next book in this series. Keep up the great writing!!!

Oh
Easy read, hard, ruthless business men, conniving people. Glad to see the inclusion of Connal in this book. I like the intertwining of previous characters. Her friend was undercover shady though. Glad she got her happy ending. Love this story as I love all I have read so far keep writing.

Fast paced
This was a cute fast paced story. It would have been nice if some scenes were a little more developed but I don’t hate it. I think this is my fourth book by the author and I’ve come to realize that it might just be her writing style. Nevertheless, if you’re looking for a quick read this is it for you
