Ruthless People #1...the book that started it all...... "One Marriage + Two Bosses = 3X the Chaos." To the outside world, they look like American royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, and rebuilding the city. But behind closed doors is a constant battle for dominance between two bosses, cultures, and hearts. Ruthless People is a romantic crime fiction set in modern day Chicago and follows the life and marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan - rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Theirs is an arranged marriage with the goal of ending years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam assumes he's getting a simple-minded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need...he’ll soon find out that his wife to be does not fit that mold. Melody knows exactly what type of man Liam is and would rather die than give up the power she has spent her life earning. The mafia of the past has evolved, and with rival bosses gunning for their family, Melody and Liam will have to learn to work as one to take down those who stand in their way.

WTF. I was SOOOOOOOOO excited when I saw the library had this book. And then I started reading it. First chapter, not so bad. After that, mother freaking the worst. What the fudge! What is wrong with this book! I forced myself to read this far just so i could justify giving a star rating. I can list some things I would rather have done. Sit next to a screaming baby/child for 2 hours. Listen to my strange neighbor bark until midnight. Clean several toilets.
Do I need to go on? I wanted savagery, and a building of trust, and instead I got weird sex, and they decided to trust each other right then. And that he would love her already. WTF. I know you are married and shit, but come on. My favorite part was when Mel shot her husband, and shot his brother. I think those were separate scenes. But seriously, terrible book.
Also, apparently the Italian was butchered, Here is a review that tells you whats wrong with the Italian, from someone who is fluent!
