The latest novel in the series with the “sexiest, baddest, hottest”* outlaws around, from the New York Times bestselling author of Claimed.

In the latest novel in the series with the “sexiest, baddest, hottest”* outlaws around, one woman must choose between the two men who want to claim her...

...Or does she?

Despite his magnetic personality, Rylan can’t seem to seduce Reese, the deadly leader of their town of outlaws. Winning her over is a welcome challenge, but her indifference isn’t the only thing standing in his way. If he wants Reese, Rylan must also win over Sloan, her stoic protector...

Sloan has always loved Reese, but their painful past has stolen his chances of a future with her. Rylan’s interest in Reese only intensifies the tension—until Sloan begins to wonder if the reckless man might be the one person who can bridge the distance...

The last time Reese fell for the wrong man, she had no choice but to kill him. Now, she desperately wants to take what both Rylan and Sloan are offering. But if she makes the wrong call again, she risks losing them both.

OOHHH. EMMM. GEEEE!!! This book is HOT! Just when you think that Elle can't possibly outdo herself, out comes RULED and knocks your panties off! LOL Just so you know, this is not for minors. It has strong sexual content and is not suitable for kids under 18.  So thank goodness I am past 18 so I could read it! YAY! LOL  But seriously, this book is amazing. Yes, it's hot, but there is also a story.  It's not just steamy sex scenes, it's an actual story and I can really appreciate that. 

Ruled can not be read as a standalone.  There is too much back story in the first two books that you need to know about in order to really understand and appreciate the world and characters.  Ruled picks up right where Addicted left off. And if you remember, Rylan is still after Reese, but she still wont give him the time of day. But perseverance will prevail and soon Reese's walls start to break down.  Only that her very loyal "bodyguard" and right-hand man, Sloan, also starts to let his walls come down.

This is such an amazing series.  Claimed was my first book by Elle Kennedy and I am so glad I decided to read it because it made me discover her other books and she is now one of my favorite authors.  Anything she writes, I will read and there aren't too many authors that fall in that category for me. I really hope that Elle decides to do a spinoff of this series or maybe a little novela because there is so much more she can do and characters she can write about.

I hope you decide to pick this series up now that all the books will be out tomorrow.  I promise you will thank me for it!

Happy reading!
