Ruthless Heir: A Dark Mafia Romance (The Seven Deadly Sinacores) Paperback – June 7, 2023

As in book one, I was hooked from the start in Ruthless Heir. Noah is searching for his father’s killer and thinks he’s narrowed it down to Jackson, who just so happens to have a beautiful and single daughter, Emily. They begin to see one another while her father attempts to come between them, all while Noah makes plans to break her as revenge. When the plot twist comes, followed by more, it hooks you in until the end. The book is a quick read and while a standalone I enjoyed reading in order after book 1.

RUTHLESS HEIR is the second instalment in Aidee Jaimes contemporary, adult SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Noah (Russo) Esposito, and artist/ gallery owner Emily Shaw’s story line. RUTHLESS HEIR can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion. The events of RUTHLESS HEIR run parallel to, and cross over with the event of book one MERCILESS VOWS.NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.Told from dual first person perspectives (Emily’s and Noah) RUTHLESS HEIR follows in the aftermath of the murder of Noah Esposito’s father Leonardo. With the discovery of Leonardo’s body, and the resulting fight for power in the family, Noah goes in search of the person responsible only to discover all was not as it appeared to be. In the hopes of destroying not only a killer but his family as well, Noah begins a slow seductive of Emily Shaw, the daughter of the man he holds responsible for the death of his father but all is not well in the group that will come to be known as the Sinacore Alliance when a killer known as The Ferryman begins the systematic assassination of the heads of the connected Crime families. What ensues is the building relationship between Noah and Emily, and the potential fall-out when Emily finds herself facing her own mortality, at the hands of the man that she has grown to love.The relationship between Emily and Noah begins in the wake of the murder of Leonardo Esposito. Noah is on the hunt for the person responsible, and Noah believes said killer may be connected to our story line heroine. Emily has be warned away from Noah Esposito, a man she believes to be someone else, and the man who is about to break her heart. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters including Luca and Carina Sinacore, as well asseveral members of the newly formed Sinacore Alliance; Noah’s step-mother Sylvia Esposito, Gideon Black, and Emily’s father Jackson Shaw. The requisite evil has many faces.RUTHLESS HEIR is another story of power and control, secrets and lies, betrayal and revenge, acceptance and love. The fast paced premise is detailed and dramatic; the romance is edgy; the characters are desperate and determined. RUTHLESS HEIR ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

The plot always has room to ask if revenge is deserved or just expected. This was one that left no doubt. Great story. Awaiting next in series.

I was confused at first thinking this was reading like it should be book one, but it all came together nicely.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy am voluntarily reviewing it. This was different than the first book and the Sinacores were not the main players. The timeline was the same so readers will get to see the things that happened to Luca and Carina from a different point of view. The Sinacores are all up and through this book as an ally to the Gianni Mafia. Noah Esposito is in the family not by blood but through loyalty. His father was the consigliere for the famly until Francesco, considered Noah's uncle, passed away and his son, Joaquin, took over. Tony Sinacore tried for an alliance with the families when the Ferryman started coming after the heads but no one would listen. Everyone knew that Noah should be the one to take over but Francesco's sons tried their hands at it first.When Noah's father died, he made promise to his stepmother, Sylvia, to find and take care of the person that did it. His research brought him to S Gallery and Jackson Shaw. As soon as Noah saw his daughter Emily, he knew he had to have her. Emily felt an extreme draw to Noah as well. Daddy Shaw was not having it. He knew something was up with Noah and did not want his daughter in that world. The connection between the two could not be denied and Emily was not going to give Noah up easily. What ensued was a serious steamy interaction. Noah and Emily were a match in every way but both had secrets that could separate them.The twists and turns are unexpected. Readers will be on pins and needles waiting to see what will happen next. I could not put this book down. I had to see how it ended and it did not disappoint. I can't even imagine what the next book will be about but I can't wait to read it.

- I fell in love with book one of this series and rated it 4.25 stars. Aidee Jaimes writing is amazing! Every time I’ve picked up a book from her I forgot how beautifully she writes and fall in love all over again. All of her stories hold my attention and truly draw me in to the world. However, I connected less with these characters.

This is the second book in this series, and this is Noah and Emily’s journey.When Emily meets Noah the sparks fly, but she soon discovers he is not the charming and caring person she thought. Noah is the ruthless hitman for the Gianni family, and he is fueled by vengeance against Emily’s father.This is a well written story which is action packed, with betrayal, emotion, trust, vengeance, challenges, and love, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, and steamy page turner.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Another fantastic story n this small series an interesting story and with many twists and turns great sex scenes and an awesome ending

I liked this one even more than the first. Sadly it felt also rushed at the end but still good.I like the MCs and their chemistry.

When the author or the blurb say the book must be read part of a series, it is not a standalone, listen to them. This is one of those books where you need, need, NEED to read the series due to the overlying story arcing through the series. The timeline of some events overlaps significantly for books 1 and 2. If possible read them close together so that you don't forget or miss any details.In saying all of that, this book is a scorcher!! Some scenes might well melt whatever device you read on if not careful! 😉 Well crafted and written, this book (and series so far) definitely make this author part of my reading watch list.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

A great second book in this series another hot sexy Alpha Male Noel fighting his way through stupid leaders trying to give loyalty that's undeserved finally finding himself leading his Mafia searching for the person responsible for killing his father finds much more than he bargained for in Emily a beautiful young artist. This is a good read with a strong storyline and great characters.

Wow! This was just as good as the first book of the Seven Deadly Sinacore's.I absolutely adored Noah, loved his story, and how he found his love ❤️I can't wait for the next instalment!
