Editoral Review
Ruthless by Michelle St. James is a captivating romance novel that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. First published on July 31, 2015, St. James showcases her talent for storytelling with this thrilling novel.
As an accomplished author in the romance genre, St. James weaves a tale of passion and danger that is sure to satisfy even the most discerning reader. Ruthless centers on the life of Rafael Len, a powerful and wealthy entrepreneur who is determined to protect his interests at all costs.
When he meets the beautiful and intelligent Gabriela, he is immediately drawn to her, but their love affair is quickly put to the test as danger looms around every corner. St. James brings the world of the rich and powerful to life with her eloquent writing style and precise attention to detail.
The complexity of the characters, their motivations, and the richly detailed setting all come together to create an immersive reading experience. St. James also delves into themes of power, corruption, and the lengths that people will go to protect what they love.
One of the standout features of this novel is St. James ability to create tension and suspense as the story unfolds. As danger grows ever closer to Gabriela and Rafael, readers will be left guessing until the very end.
The romantic chemistry between the two protagonists is also expertly crafted, leaving readers yearning for more. Despite its strengths, one weakness of Ruthless is that the pacing can be slow at times, which may be a turn-off to some readers.
Additionally, some may find certain aspects of the plot predictable. Overall, Ruthless is a must-read for fans of the romance genre, with a gripping storyline and well-rounded characters that will keep readers invested until the very end.
Michelle St. James writing is top-notch, and her ability to craft a complex and engaging story is truly impressive. I highly recommend Ruthless to anyone looking for a riveting, passionate read.
