Book Title: The Ruthless People ( 4 book series)

Author : J.J. MCAVOY

Book description: To the outside world, they look like American Royalty, giving to charities, feeding the homeless, 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, following the life and marriage of Melody Nicci Giovanni and Liam Callahan-rivals by blood and leaders through fear. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes to end years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam, next in line to lead the Irish, believes he's getting a simpleminded wife, one he can control, one who bends to his every need . .. the complete opposite of Melody. Bred to be a Boss, a world-class marksman, master of disguise, with no mercy and no fear. Twenty-four years later, she has achieved more than any man could even dream of, killing anyone who steps in her way. She knows exactly what type of man Liam is, and she would rather die than give up the power she has spent her whole life building. But with no other family left, she must not only learn to work with Liam, but the whole Callahan clan. The Mafia of the past is evolving, and with rival bosses gunning for them, Melody and Liam will have to figure out how to work as one to take down those who stand in their way, all while keeping up appearances.

Book review: Okay it’s been long since I stopped reading romance novels, but I had to post this. I see people loving arranged marriage romance everywhere but I am surprised no one talks about this.

I read this book back in 2015, and absolutely loved it. It had everything that I love in a trope like arranged marriages with the added benefit of it having a ruthless and badass Female Lead.

Melody was absolutely ruthless and smarter than Liam, she didn’t take anyone’s bullshit and was always a step ahead of everyone. Unlike most FL she was not the damsel in distress waiting for the guy to help her.

Now that I reread it 2-3 years ago, I did see some problems that I overlooked as a teen, but still that didn’t dampen my enjoyment of it.

"Mouth is the second sexy body part".

The famous cheerful guy, Saikawa had tried to rip off the gloomy kid, Sayama's mask.

After that day, he had captured Saikawa's attention and Saikawa had volunteered to teach him for the upcoming examination but with one condition, Saikawa can do whatever he wants with what is hiding under Sayama's mask.

He hates it when people touch his bare face, lips and inside his mouth, but he cannot say anything when Saikawa touch them.

Summary: Koga Naoto is an omega who was raped by his alpha classmates and got pregnant. Due to that traumatic experience, he came to hate alphas and told himself that he doesn't need a lifemate or a bond, but even with that incident, he insisted on keeping the child and raised her, and an angel named Shizuku was born. She became his strength and center in this cruel word that treats omegas unfairly. But his life suddenly changed when he met an alpha named Tsuchiya Hazuki from the matchmaking party he forced himself to attend.

Review: I honestly read this manga just for the cute adorable kid in this. She is the sweetest and the matchmaker for her father. The Alpha is incredibly caring towards the Omega and treats him like a star on earth. I re-read this every couple of months honestly because of how much I like it!

Tabun Korekara Ai no Hibi

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Completed

Summary: 31-year-old Akio Ito is totally worn out and has finally quit his job after devoting his twenties to the craft of creating manga comics. He's down and glum when he's reunited with Hiroto Kuma, nicknamed "Kuma", a friend from high school with whom he once enjoyed manga and subculture. A year his junior, Kuma, who is now a bestselling novelist and a single father of young twins, always told Akio that he loved his work.

This is a story of love and salvation involving an easy-going novelist with kids, a self-deprecating former manga artist, and a pair of twins who are full of vibrant energy.

Review: Oh I adored this manga so much. Kuma absolutely loves Akio and is so supportive and incredible. I think everyone in this world deserves a Kuma by their side when they don’t believe in themselves and feel they are not enough. It honestly made me yearn for someone when I am depressed, lol. The characters are so understanding and encouraging, it’s incredible to see them. Always a plus point is having two adorable babies!!!

Sasaki to Miyano

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ongoing

Summary: Miyano is a high school student with a secret–he’s a BL fanboy. He’s passionate about his hobby but doesn’t share it with others easily, until a chance encounter with a quirky sempai named Sasaki brings a new friendship. Sasaki doesn’t know what the heck a ‘seme’ or ‘uke’ is, or why he should be worried when Miyano threatens to draw doujinshi involving him, but he’s eager to learn about his cute new friend’s hobby!

Review: I think everyone knows about this manga and it’s anime, but if you don’t this post is to force you to read it! This was one of my first manga and I have cherished it since then. It’s a slow burn which makes it all the more better. The characters are really mature and incredibly sweet to each other. More than it being yaoi, it’s more shounen-ai, with cute scenes and heart melting sweet kisses. I would really recommend it to everyone, and there is an incredible anime to watch too! This series even have an incredible spin-off!

But that yankee is Tsugumi, an Omega who doesn't use suppressants and deals with his heats through sheer willpower. Tsugumi loathes all alphas because they consider omegas just tools for reproduction and has sworn to kill them all. Megumi, whose behaviour is different from other alphas, confuses Tsugumi and leaves him torn between rage and desire.

Review: one of the my favourites! I have re-read this sooo many times and I absolutely love it. The omega has the cutest reaction and his chibi face is so cute. The alpha is protective and jealous and just perfect!
