The Ruthless Groom by Monica Murphy
4.0
The Ruthless Groom - Releasing June 14, 2022
The Ruthless Groom picks up right where The Reluctant Bride left off-it’s Perry & Charlotte’s wedding day, but someone from Charlotte’s past has come back to stir up trouble. With barely veiled threats and innuendo, the only other man from Charlotte’s past is able to quickly drive a wedge between the newlyweds, and causes Perry to question who Charlotte is loyal to. Even though both Perry & Charlotte are starting to develop real feelings in this arranged marriage, the trust isn’t there, and without trust, will that be enough for this marriage to endure?
I’m not going to lie, Perry drove me insane in this book. He was so hot and cold, and so callous to Charlotte. I really felt for Charlotte. There was a line that Jasper said that really stuck out to me - “You do realize our Miss Charlotte has had her heart broken by everyone she’s ever loved.” Charlotte might be privileged and a Lancaster, but she has spent her whole life feeling isolated and alone. Every time Perry wouldn’t let her open up or didn’t trust her without cause, it hurt my heart a little bit.
It was very easy for me to connect with Charlotte and really feel for her in this book. I felt like we got a better understanding of her than we did in the first book, which is funny since the entire 2nd book takes place in the span of about a week! But I really felt like we got to know Charlotte more. We also really got to see more of Perry’s insecurities and watch him struggle to accept that he’s truly starting to care for Charlotte.
The spicy scenes in this book are fantastic-you could feel the chemistry between Perry & Charlotte jumping off the pages! Monica Murphy writes amazing spicy scenes and really weaves the sexual tension throughout the book.
I won’t say what happens at the end but I will say I can not wait to get my hands on The Reckless Union because I NEED to know what happens next!!! The Ruthless Groom is available June 14 and you absolutely do not want to miss it!
