ARC Review: Ruthless: The Faces of Evil Series: Book 6 [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Ruthless" the 6th book in her Faces of Evil series by Debra Webb.

He has a ruthless past

Three photos of three unknown women. Sent to Deputy Chief Jess Harris by the Player, one of the world's most sadistic killers. The Player is taunting her, and Jess is more than ready to take on his challenge. Only one thing could distract her from the Player's deadly game: the appearance of a clue to long-unsolved cases. For years Birmingham's children were vanishing - one per year, always on a full moon-until the disappearances stopped and the Man in the Moon case went cold. No leads on the children were ever found - until now.

Jess has no choice but to pursue the case. Someone is reaching out to her, sending her mementos of the missing children, and the citizens of Birmingham deserve justice. But after years of silence, has the Man in the Moon really resurfaced? Or is he just another pawn in the Player's game?

Ruthless (The House of Rohan) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Ruthless" the 1st book in her House of Rohan series by Anne Stuart.

Product Description

Few outsiders will ever witness the dark misdeeds of the Heavenly Host. And among this secret society, where exiled Georgian aristocrats gather to indulge their carnal desires, fewer still can match the insatiable appetite of their chief provocateur, the mysterious Viscount Rohan.

Pursuit of physical pleasure is both his preferred pastime and his most pressing urge, until he encounters the fascination of a woman who won't be swayed. And while his dark seduction appalls the pure and impoverished Elinor Harriman, she finds herself intrigued…and secretly drawn to the man behind the desire.

My Review:

Elinor Harriman was born to a titled father and money hungry mother. When her mother left England for Paris, the downward spiral of their life began. Her mother moved from man to man, gambled and lost and eventually landed them in squalor. Now her mother is dying of the French disease and it's up to Elinor to protect the only thing Elinor truly values, her little sister, Lydia.

When Elinor's mother escapes in a moment of clarity from their home with the last of their meager valuables and cash, Elinor is forced to follow her. She locates her at the Heavenly Host, a place where anything goes and not a place for an innocent young girl. The Heavenly Host is run by the infamous Viscount Rohan and when Elinor is brought to his attention; he finds himself interested for the first time in years.

Francis Rohan is your typical alpha male but you just can't help liking him.  He's very quite unconventional and deviant.

Elinor isn't beautiful but she's selfless and witty while her younger sister Lydia is beautiful and not cold or shallow but warm and caring. 

I really enjoyed the love story between Charles (Francis's good friend) and Lydia.

3.5/5
