ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 15, 2024

Willow Harper has spent most of her life alone, after all, it’s easier to be alone when you’ve already lost everything. Content in the quiet town of Whispering Pines, she immerses herself in her art.

Then Caleb Foster shows up. Tall, handsome, and annoyingly intrusive. Willow wants nothing to do with him.

Caught between curiosity and caution, Willow finds herself watching Caleb and wondering where he goes at night. He sticks out like a sore thumb during the day, but after sundown, he vanishes without a trace.

When fate throws them together, bringing supernatural threats and urban legends to life, Willow has no choice but to trust the mysterious stranger who dogs her days and hounds her dreams.

As their connection becomes increasingly difficult to ignore, they find themselves relying on each other to brave the approaching storm.

Willow didn’t ask for his help…Caleb seems reluctant to offer it.

And both are completely unprepared for what lies ahead.

••••••

REVIEW: WOLF’S CHANCE is the first instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult SHADOWRIDGE PEAK paranormal, romance series- a spin off set in the author’s Blackbridge Peak series. This is wolf shifter/ rogue Caleb Foster, and twenty-six year old artist Willow Harper’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Willow and Caleb) WOLF’S CHANCE follows in the wake of Caleb Foster’s arrival in Whispering Pines. Pulled towards something unknown, Caleb Foster finds himself drawn to artist Willow Harper, a human woman but a woman who sees more than anyone could have ever imagined. Hoping for some answers, Willow and Caleb go on a journey of discovery only to find themselves on the defensive at every turn.

The world building reveals some of Willow’s background, and the health issues with which she is struggling to contend. Willow’s art has attracted the attention of several people including our story line hero, art that tells a story that should not have been told.

The relationship between Willow and Caleb is tempestuous at best.There is a definite attraction but there is no romance, and Caleb struggles with his attraction to a woman he doesn’t deserve. There are no $ex scenes.

The secondary and supporting characters include Willow’s best friend Lily Summers, and the return of Blackbridge Peak Alpha Cannon.

WOLF’S CHANCE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and discovery. The slow building premise is intriguing and captivating but very little is revealed leaving this reader frustrated. The characters are desperate and sad; there is no romance only distrust and questions. WOLF’S CHANCE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

WOLF’S FATE
(Shadowridge Peak 2)
by Eve L Mitchell
Genre: adult, contemporary, paranormal romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk / Amazon.au /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release December 20, 2024

Willow Harper thought she was finally beginning to understand the world she’d been thrust into—a world where she’s connected to the enigmatic shifter Caleb Foster. But Caleb has vanished, leaving Willow vulnerable and alone.

The longer Caleb stays away, the more dangerous his absence becomes—not just for him, but for her. Other shifters, drawn to her for reasons she can’t explain, are closing in.

She knows severing their bond may be her only hope, yet the deeper their connection grows, the harder it becomes to let go—especially when her feelings for him are anything but simple.

Hunted by dangerous enemies and haunted by the lingering bond to a man who’s no longer there to protect her, Willow must find Caleb before it’s too late. Together, they’ll have to face the threat to her and, perhaps, confront the darkest parts of Caleb’s past.

But with each day that Caleb stays away, they risk not only losing each other—but everything they’re fighting for.

••••••

REVIEW:WOLF’S FATE is the second instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult SHADOWRIDGE PEAK paranormal, romance series, a spin off set in the author’s Blackbridge Peak series. This is the continuing story of wolf shifter/ rogue Caleb Foster, and twenty-six year old artist Willow Harper’s story line. WOLF’S FATE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events of book one WOLF’S CHANCE.

SOME BACKGROUND: Pulled towards something unknown, lone wolf Caleb Foster finds himself drawn to Whispering Pines and artist Willow Harper, a human woman but a woman who sees more than anyone could have ever imagined. Having spent ten years alone after the decimation of his pack, Caleb struggles with pack life, and interacting with society.

If you have not read book one, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Willow and Caleb) WOLF’S FATE picks up approximately three weeks after the events of WOLF’S CHANCE in which, wolf shifter Caleb Foster, having left Willow Harper behind under the protection of the Blackridge Peak Alpha Cannon, journeys towards the ghosts from his past . With his ‘connection’ to Willow growing stronger as he approaches his homeland, Caleb quickly realizes Willow’s life is in danger, and is desperate to protect the woman that calls to his heart. Struggling with the demons from his past, Caleb continues to spiral but with the presence of our story line heroine, Caleb’s demons begin to reveal a devastating story.

The world building reveals Caleb’s past and the destruction of his pack and the people he loved. The ghosts continue to haunt our story line hero but the past takes aim at our story line couple.

The relationship between Caleb and Willow continues to be turbulent and aggressive as Willow struggles to understand the man Caleb is becoming, and the wolf who is desperate to avenge the past. Caleb and Willow are apart for a good portion of the story line -Caleb on the run towards his darkness, and Willow searching for the man with whom she is falling in love. The lone $ex scene is limited but impassioned without any true resolution.

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of the Blackridge Peak wolf pack including Alpha Cannon, Doc, Royce and a visiting Shaman.

WOLF’S FATE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, magic and power, family and loss. The premise is enchanting and entertaining; the characters are broken and magical; the romance is limited as Caleb struggles with his attraction to our story line heroine. WOLF’S FATE ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 26, 2024

Sent back to the human world by my brother and the shaman, I found refuge among humans, reconnecting with an old friend who urged me to embrace the life I left behind. Yet, my shelter was short-lived when the alpha, Cannon, captured me once more.

In his pack, I witnessed the stark differences between the pack I came from and the Blackridge Peak Pack. I longed to belong to a community as free as this—all the while resisting the magnetic pull towards the alpha.

Meanwhile, someone who was once close to me could hold the key to unlocking the mysteries of humans hunting shifters. While some truths remained hidden, I feared the answers lay within the heart of my old pack.

As external pressures intensified, threatening to shatter the delicate trust building between Cannon and me, I came to realize that it’s not our bond we should have been resisting.

It’s betrayal.

•••••

REVIEW: WOLF’S BETRAYAL is the second instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult BLACKBRIDGE PEAK paranormal, romance series focusing on Wolf Pack Alpha Cannon, and his fated mate Kezia. WOLF’S BETRAYAL should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the cliff hanger of book one WOLF’S GAMBIT.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cannon and Kezia) WOLF’S BETRAYAL picks up after the events of book one. Kezia has been on the run for close to five months in the wake of rejection by her fated mate but participating in the underground MMA fights brings too much attention to our story line heroine, attention that catches the eye of her reluctant mate, the alpha who is determined to destroy what fate pushes together. Meanwhile, Kezia’s original pack is desperate to reclaim their wayward pack member but all is not well when secrets revealed threaten everything Kezia thought she knew, and her future going forward.

The world building continues to focus on the contemptuous and temperamental relationship between our story line couple. Cannon is unable to accept Kezia as his fated mated, and the alpha’s disdain for Kezia is affecting her ability to move on from the past. Secrets revealed show a lifetime of lies, betrayal, jealousy and greed,that continue to threaten everything Kezia thought was the truth.

The relationship continues to be combative and antagonistic. Cannon and Kezia are belligerent and contentious but with Kezia’s approaching heat, Cannon is determined to push away the woman that calls to his wolf. The $ex scenes are limited but intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and questionable secondary and supporting characters, many of whom have ulterior motives, wanting nothing more than to destroy our story line heroine.

WOLF’S BETRAYAL is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, madness and mayhem, rejection and hate. The premise is captivating and intriguing; the characters are desperate, powerful , determined and lost. WOLF’S BETRAYAL ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 31, 2024

Just when I thought I could finally find my place and belong in a pack, fate had other plans. The sting of betrayal cut deep.

As the dust settled from the devastating blow that threatened to shatter the fragile trust between Cannon and me, we both struggled to confront the harsh realities of our world. Fueled by a thirst for revenge, my heart was torn between the hunger for retribution and the longing for reconciliation.

As I prepared to fight for my pack, I knew the stakes had been raised, and everything was on the line. At every turn, danger threatened, and with each step forward, uncertainty hung in the air—not only ahead, but also within.

Knowing I had yet to face my most formidable adversary, I realized it was time to reclaim what was rightfully mine. I wasn’t running anymore.

It was time to fight…and win the ultimate end game.

••••••

REVIEW: WOLF’S ENDGAME is the third and final instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult THE BLACKRIDGE PACK erotic, paranormal romance series. This is the continuing story of thirty-two year old, Blackridge Pack alpha Cannon and eighteen year old Kezia. WOLF’S ENDGAME should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book two WOLF’S BETRAYAL

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

IF you have not read book two, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kezia and Cannon) WOLF’S ENDGAME picks up after the events of WOLF’S BETRAYAL in which Kezia has been imprisoned by her former Alpha Bale of the Anterrio Pack. Along with her brother Kris, Kezia was raised by a brutal pack leader, and she was about to find herself forced into a mating she did not want. Having left behind her true mate, Kezia struggles with the possibility of losing everything until her inner spirit, takes charge, freeing out heroine to pursue her goals. Meanwhile, Kezia’s mate Cannon is fighting for his life, and with the return of his mate, a powerful magic takes hold, pushing Cannon to uncover the truth about the woman with whom he has fallen in love. Determined to take down the Anterrio Pack, the Blackridge Pack declares war wherein not everyone will survive.

The world building focusing on betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, obsession and madness, power and control. Pack leader Bale is determined to destroy Kezia and everything she represents but in doing so, invokes the wrath of the Blackridge Pack, a wrath from which he will never come back.

The relationship between Kezia and Cannon continues to be combative but Cannon is slowly warming up to his equally powerful mate but Kezia’s power comes from an outside source, and it is this source, that will help Kezia survive the coming war. The $ex scenes are limited but intimate and passionate.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of magical secondary and supporting characters many of whom are questionable at best. Betrayal is met at every opportunity so much so that Alpha Cannon is struggling to trust the members of his own Pack.

WOLF’S ENDGAME is a story of power, betrayal, madness and love. The premise is enthralling and spellbinding; the characters are determined, desperate and dynamic; the romance is fated and powerful.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 29, 2024

My whole life, I’ve been the outsider. The wolves of the Anterrio Pack took my brother and me into their pack after our parents died.

To the pack, I remained the wild, untamed misfit despite my efforts to belong.

My first heat loomed ahead of the Luna Ball, and once again, I found myself attracting unwelcome attention, not just from my pack but also from the visiting Blackridge Peak Pack.

When my brother suspected their new alpha might hold answers about our past, he refused to put me at risk while he searched for the truth. Instead, he set me free from a pack that never truly accepted me.

Running from the only home I’d ever known, I longed for a fresh start. But in an unfamiliar human world, finding my place proved to be another challenge, as trouble followed me relentlessly.

Until I realized it was not just misfortune that was dogging my heels.

It’s an alpha.

REVIEW:WOLF’S GAMIBT is the first instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult THE BLACKRIDGE PACK erotic, paranormal romance series. This is thirty-two year old, Blackridge Pack alpha Cannon and eighteen year old Kezia’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

WOLF’S GAMBIT is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance. The fast paced premise is intriguing and entertaining; the characters are powerful and determine. The relationship between Cannon and Kezia is fated but Cannon also struggles with his need for a woman he does not want. Kezia is unlike any female shifter in recent history, and in this, she has become a target for every shifter male. WOLF’S GAMBIT ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 10, 2023

Faith
I left the world of my strict upbringing long ago, embracing a new life with no restrictions. But now a relentless private investigator is hot on my trail.

Cooper Carter seems determined to return me to the prison I escaped. He’s an enigma, cold and unfeeling, yet I sense the fire within him waiting to be unleashed.

My plan is simple. If I must return to the nightmare that I ran from…I’m taking Cooper with me.

Cooper
It was just another job, a straightforward seek and retrieve, but Faith Hunter is far from simple. Her sharp wit and spirited nature make her a captivating challenge.

Faith says her past is full of monsters who only want to use her for their own gain. An arranged marriage awaits her return, and somehow she’s talked me into faking a relationship.

Yet, Faith’s plan has a crucial flaw. She doesn’t truly know me, or how far I’ll go to get what I want. Soon she’ll realize that the only monster she needs to be wary of…is me.

•••••

REVIEW:BROKEN BY FAITH is the second instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult, dark, romance series. This is PI Cooper Carter, and twenty-seven year old, heiress/dancer Faith Hunter’s story line. BROKEN BY FAITH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cooper and Faith) BROKEN BY FAITH follows the search for our story line heroine. Cooper Carter is a private investigator who has been hired to find and return heiress Faith Hunter back to her family but Faith Hunter does not want to be found, and when she discovers Cooper’s connections to her family, our heroine is determined to go deep and go dark. As Cooper’s virtual prisoner, Faith struggles with her captor’s attitude but will quickly fall in line when he reveals there is more to the story than a family looking for the daughter who didn’t come home. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Faith and Cooper, and the potential fall -out when our couple begin a real but fake relationship in an effort to stop Faith’s family from destroying her life.

The world building focuses on the contemptuous relationship between our story line couple but Cooper is more aware of a deeper betrayal than Faith could have ever imagined. To protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, Cooper offers up marriage, a marriage with an expiry date that neither one wants. We are up close and personal with the details of both family histories, histories that are dark, vengeful, greedy and cold.

The relationship between Faith and Cooper begins as captor and captive. Cooper has been tasked with bringing home our story line heroine but there is more to both stories, as each side sees something different and vulnerable, and morally questionable. The $ex scenes are aggressive and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and questionable. We are introduced to Faith’s ex fiancé Howard, her brother Reese, their parents, as well as Cooper’s mother Regina Carrington, and the return of Grace and Dallas (Torn by Grace 1).

BROKEN BY FAITH is a story of betrayal and vengeance, greed and avarice, secrets and lies, forgiveness and acceptance. The premise is edgy and riveting; the romance is spicy and seductive; the characters are spirted, animated and desperate.

Grace
I enjoy the peaceful life I’ve built, but when my brother arrives in town for work unexpectedly, I know my quiet routine will be shattered. To further complicate things, I know that his best friend—my ex—won’t be far behind.

Dallas Elliot made it clear to me long ago that he didn’t want a relationship. To prevent history from repeating itself, I plan to avoid the man who broke my heart.

Too bad fate has other plans.

Dallas
I’ve always known that Grace Slater was off-limits. She’s the only girl I broke my “no relationship” rule for, but I cut my losses before my best friend cut me out of his life.

The job we’re working shouldn’t involve Grace. It definitely shouldn’t have put her in danger. I vowed to keep her safe, no matter what. Keeping it professional won’t be a problem since she hates me.

Seeing her flustered when I push her buttons is just a perk of being around her…I’m just not prepared when she pushes back.

REVIEW: TORN BY GRACE by Eve L Mitchell is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, erotic, romantic suspense story. This is waitress/server Grace Slater, and Bail Recovery Agent Dallas Elliot’s storyline.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Grace and Dallas) TORN BY GRACE focuses on the second chance relationship between Grace Slater and Dallas Elliot. Eight years earlier Grace’s brother Dempsey’s best friend Dallas Elliot broke Grace’s heart. Grace had been in love with her brother’s best friend for as long as she could remember but Dallas was forced to choose between Grace and his friendship with Dempsey, and Dallas walked away from our story line heroine. Fast forward to present day wherein Dallas and Dempsey, now working as Bail Recovery Agents, have returned home, looking for a skip but Dallas is about to come face to face with his past. Grace Slater is working several jobs, struggling in a way no one expected but she has no other choice than go it alone. When Grace’s past resurfaces, Dallas is the first to come to her aid, help Grace continues to refuse until it may be too late. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Grace and Dallas, and the potential fall-out as Grace must face her brother’s wrath; the man she once loved; her family’s dysfunctional relationships, and a past that is looking for revenge.

The world building sets the tone for the Slater family dynamics, and Dallas’ connection to our story line heroine. We are introduced to Grace’s co-workers, most of whom have no idea about her troubles but suspect there is something wrong.

The relationship between Grace and Dallas is a best friend’s sister/ second chance romance in which Grace battles between head and heart remembering the heart break and humiliation of Dallas’ rejection. Dallas is desperate to protect our story line heroine , both from her past and from herself, but Grace is often a little TSTL (too stupid to live), and refuses to listen to the man with whom she has fallen in love. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

TORN BY GRACE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and revenge, abuse and power, forgiveness and love. The premise is emotional and heart breaking; the romance is seductive and fated; the characters are broken, desperate but determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 23, 2022.

Onyx Santo.
Cold-hearted, harsh, and a brutal adversary.
They call him a Devil. I call him my nemesis.

His designer suits, expensive shoes, flashy car, and cruel intelligence can’t hide what he is underneath.
Empty.

He fooled me once, and I swore he’d never get a second chance.
There is nothing he can do to redeem himself in my eyes.
As my most hated rival, the only time he makes me smile is when I’ve bested him in the boardroom.

But someone far worse is out to get me. Perhaps…even hurt me.
The police have no leads, and I have no idea who it could be.
I do know one man who doesn’t play by the rules. One man who could protect me.

I’d rather live in fear than ask for his help.

Ruthless Devil is a full-length enemies-to-lovers romance that is intended for mature readers. This is a standalone book and does not need to be read in conjunction with The Ruthless Devils series, but you may enjoy it more if you do. If you are not a fan of morally grey alphaholes or heroines who aren’t afraid to tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine, then you should keep scrolling.

REVIEW: RUTHLESS DEVIL is the fourth instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult THE RUTHLESS DEVILS dark, erotic romance series. This is sports agents /attorneys Onyx Santo, and twenty-eight year old Angel Balan’s story line. RUTHLESS DEVIL is a complete stand alone, and does not have to be read fter the previous three instalments. Onyx Santo was first introduced in the original series but his story is separate from the first three books.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Angel and Onxy) RUTHLESS DEVIL follows two time lines that focus on the acrimonious and caustic relationship between sports agents /attorneys Onyx Santo, and twenty-eight year old Angel Balan. Years earlier, while attending Cardinal Saints College, a college owned and ruled by the Santo family, Angel found herself rescued by the Cardinal Saints ‘Devil’s in the wake of a potential sexual assault but Angel’s rescue came with a caveat, a caveat that was about to destroy any future relationship between herself and her would-be rescuers. Fast forward to present day, Angel is now working as an attorney and sports agent for Saints Sports Management, an agency owned by Onyx Santo, the man who has been diligently working to destroy Angel’s career but all is not well in Angel’s life, when a stalker takes aim at our story line heroine, targeting her for perceived sins of the past. What ensues is the building but tempestuous relationship between Onxy and Angel, and the potential fall-out as Onxy struggles between head and heart where it concerns our story line heroine; and Angel’s stalker takes aim with near fatal success.

Onyx Santo, and his fellow ‘Devils’ Cooper and Charlie do not like our story line heroine. The past reveals an arrogance and birthright, and with it, anyone they deem below the Saints and Devils, is considered fodder and prey. Onxy Santo is determined to make Angel’s professional life miserable in the hopes of destroying her self-esteem and ego. Angel Balan has been bullied by Onxy and his ‘Devils’ for as long as she can remember but never expected the harassment to continue into her professional life but when our heroine finds herself the victim of a stalker, Onxy is determined to protect the woman that is calling to his heart.

The relationship between Onyx and Angel is petulant and testy. Angel struggles with what happened years before, and Onyx refuses to accept that Angel has now become a part of his life but when the attacks against Angel become dangerous and personal, Onxy calls in his fellow ‘Devils’ in an effort to track down the person(s) responsible. The $ex scenes are erotic and intense with some scenes of breath play and bondage.

We are introduced to Onyx’s best friends: Cooper (private Investigator), Charlie Woodcott (fixer), Jeremy Pittman (professional football player) and his wife Chrissy; as well as several business clients.

RUTHLESS DEVIL is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, acceptance and love. The premise is dark, edgy and dramatic; the characters are intense, rebellious and hostile; the romance is provocative.

REVIEW:KEEPING HARMONY is the third instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, adult DENVER dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is twenty-six year old Cameron Sabino, and twenty year old Harmony Sabino’s story line. KEEPING HARMONY can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion I recommend reading the series in order as several characters cross over from the previous instalments.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Cameron and Harmony) KEEPING HARMONY follows in the aftermath of an attack against Harmony Sabino, an attack that resulted in the murder of someone else. As payment for a debt owed, Harmony becomes a pawn in a potential war between two powerful underworld families, a pawn whose life is to be forfeited one way or another. Enter Harmony’s step-cousin Cameron Sabino, and the man with whom Harmony will fall in love. What ensues is the enemies to friends to lovers relationship between Harmony and Cameron, and the fall-out as our couple discover the extent of how dysfunctional one family can be.

Cameron Sabino was adopted and raised by the Sabino family from his early teens but has always lusted after his ‘cousin’ for as long as he can remember. Harmony Sabino is considered to be a spoiled underworld princess but a princess who is about to become fodder in a much larger game of power and control. On the run together, Cameron must first insure Harmony’s safety as he places himself in the direct line of fire.

The relationship between Harmony and Cameron is an enemies to lovers relationship in which Cameron battles between head and heart knowing to protect Harmony means to go against the family to which he belongs but the heart wants something more, and Cameron is about to pay the price for the woman he loves. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense with some scenes of light spanking.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, energetic and dynamic secondary and supporting characters including the return of several members of the Sabino family, Louis Neroni, Aidan Ashford (Her Greatest Mistake 1), Raphe Lastra and his significant other Devon (Beautifully Broken 2). The requisite evil has many faces.

KEEPING HARMONY is a story of dysfunctional family values, power and control, death and destruction, acceptance and love. The premise is gritty and dark; the characters are captivating and powerful; the romance is seductive and erotic. KEEPING HARMONY ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2021.

She is his escape. He is her shelter.

Mia’s been on the sidelines her whole life. Her parents have never been interested in her, and the only constant in her life has been her best friend, Ava. But Ava’s gone and fallen for a Devil—and everyone knows the Devils are trouble. In fact, trouble is now knocking on the door, threatening them all.

Mia has no intention of becoming involved in the drama, but she can’t deny she’s worried. So when Ava insists that Mia needs someone to watch over her, she reluctantly agrees.

Enter Ash Santo.

Ash is not Mia’s idea of a knight in shining armour. He’s a player on the field—and an even bigger player off the field. But she finds unexpected shelter in his arms, and she can’t help falling for his charms.

Ash is still reeling from the revelations about his ex-girlfriend and his cousin. Desperate for an opportunity to escape them both, he begrudgingly agrees to watch over Mia.

No one is more surprised than he is when Mia proves to be an enjoyable distraction. She’s flirty, sexy, and fun. It’s problematic because his cousins told him to stay away from her; they already have enough problems without him messing about with Ava’s best friend.

They told him to resist temptation. But what if he doesn’t want to?

And what will happen when the danger stalking them finally emerges from the shadows?

Three guys, three girls, one game. The Devils are playing to win.

REVIEW: RUTHLESS CHARM is the third and final instalment in Eve L Mitchell’s contemporary, new adult THE RUTHLESS DEVILS college sports, romance series focusing on twins Gray and Jett Santo, and their cousin Ash. This is college sophomores Ash Santo, and Mia Davis’ story line. RUTHLESS CHARM should not be read as a stand alone as many of the events of Ruthless Charm are as of a direct result of the events in book two Ruthless Desire.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

NOTE: If you have not read book two, there may be spoilers in my review.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ash and Mia) RUTHLESS CHARM follows in the wake of an attack against Quinn (Ruthless Desire) and the lingering threats to our story line heroine. Now that Gray’s girlfriend Quinn, and Jett’s girlfriend Ava, are more or less living part time with their respective loves, Mia finds herself at the mercy and protection of Ash Santo when he is forced by his cousins to live with our story line heroine but Ash and Mia’s previous one-night stand left a lingering emotional upheaval, and their attraction to one another is masked by disdain and anger. While Mia’s freedom is curtailed, she finds herself at a crossroads going forward but the need for personal autonomy forces Mia into questionable actions, actions that may threaten her life going forward. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Ash and Mia, and the potential fall-out as the cousins begins to unravel the who, what and why of a campus predator.

The relationship between Ash and Mia is tempestuous at best as Mia struggles with the invasion of her privacy, and the potential loss of friendship as her bestie Quinn is quickly pulling away. Ash doesn’t like the separation from his cousins or the forced proximity to the nineteen year old woman that pushes all of his buttons but the palpable, sexual attraction can no longer be denied, and in the end, our heroine will suffer when rumors and innuendo threaten her hard fought stability. Mia’s reputation at Cardinal Saints College is questionable and unwarranted, and in the end, Mia refuses to bow to the smear campaign that could ruin her life. The $ex scenes are intimate and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. 

The secondary and supporting characters include the return of Jett and Ava, Gray and Quinn, their brother Onyx Santo, as well as musicians Shane and Wade from Atticus Dawn. The power the cousins wield at Cardinal Saints College reflects in their attitudes; the young men and women are often naïve and immature directing vitriol and hate at every opportunity. I believe the author has plans for a spin off focusing on Onyx Santo.

RUTHLESS CHARM is a story of power and betrayal, vengeance and hate, family, friendships, relationships and love. The premise is edgy and dramatic; the romance is spicy; the characters are wounded, spirited and energetic.
