Publisher's summary

What is the one thing a sinner can’t allow?

Temptation.

But Keira Sartin is all that and more. A walking, talking dream. She calls to every cell in Alexi’s messed-up, rule-breaking soul.

Except she’s forbidden. Addictive. A distraction he can’t afford.

Not when his family is depending on him and redemption is within reach. Not when his mission hinges on making no waves and fulfilling his duty. Not when she’s the sister of his bride-to-be.

What’s the one thing a troublemaker can’t afford?

More trouble.

But Alexi Skolov is all that and more.

He’s beauty incarnate. Flesh-and-blood sin. Wild nights and dark pleasure.

He’s also up to no good. Which means he’s not for her. She has her own objective to fulfill, and he’ll only get in the way. He’s also promised to her sister.

It should be easy for them both: just stay away.

But running from temptation is hard. Avoiding trouble even harder—and sometimes it catches up to you, leaving you...breathless, begging, broken.

Broken Heir: A Dark Fated-Mates Romance is the third book in the Ruthless Warlords series. Although it is a scorching-hot stand-alone, it is recommended you enjoy the books in this series in order to obtain the greatest enjoyment.

• A ruthless alien mafia boss
• An innocent heroine growing into her power
• A fated bond
• Plenty of spicy action

Great series

I am patiently waiting on the next book!! this is a great series. Not a cliff hanger or spoiler.. but I need to know more about the Twins!

Oh Alexi Skolov!

Oh Alexi Skolov, you were broken as much as you were lovable.

On this third installment of Ruthless Warlords, which follows the Skolov Family in their quest to find their siblings that were stolen from them while they were babies, we learn about Alexi and the beast that he has been working so hard at controlling. Since the attack on his family, he has been trying to contain himself and the monster lurking inside of him. When they find a viable lead to their siblings, Alexi volunteers himself to broker the deal with a competing family to get more of the information that he needed and find his baby siblings. Through this process, he meets Keira, who is an Omega and has the uncanny ability to calm him.

This book had a lot of hot Omegaverse scenes that will melt pages. But what I really liked about this book was their quest to find Mikhail. It was full of twists and has a satisfying end to it. I cannot wait for Damian's book.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of this book and oh my goodness, Jason Clarke and Stella Hunter will just about literally make you melt. Jason's growl is just absolutely perfect as an Omega alpha and Stella's take no prisoners approach to this story is such a delight for the ears.

Addicting Series!!

This series is so addicting! I was so excited to get Alexi’s book. He was always a fascinating character and he falls for the enemy’s forbidden Omega, how can you resist a forbidden romance. Alexi and Kiera have instant chemistry from the first moment they meet. I found that I liked Kiera’s early acceptance of Alexi’s claim refreshing. I love a passionate enemies to lovers build up, but the quick pace of their romance made their love story better. There already was so much action and mystery going on in the story that made this audiobook so captivating. Alexi was so much more than the arrogant, playboy alpha. He has a traumatic past that makes him an uncontrollable beast when he feels threaten. The only person who was able to bring him back from the edge of darkness was Kiera. The way he loves and protects her was so dreamy. The duet narration by Stella Hunter and Jason Clark was phenomenal like always. They have incredible chemistry and did a wonderful job bringing Alexi and Kiera’s story to life. They are pure audiobook magic! I can’t wait for the next book in the series.

Love this book!

This book was so entertaining; the narrator, who are excellent did such a great job bringing the characters to life. Alexi and Keira are the perfect couple. I loved Alexi’s beast mode. This book was funny and the banter between siblings was hilarious. Hope there is another book coming in this series; appears Damien will be the next brother to have the spotlight.

Love this series, and the family.

This series is not for the faint of heart, but I love this series!!!!! I can't wait for the next book. The narrators Jason and Stella are outstanding. If you want to be on the edge of your seat and love steamy "HOT" scenes then jump right into this series. It is vital that you start with the first book to understand the family's story. There are still more family members and I hope that Alison Aimes continues to write as well as she has thus far.

Again, can't wait for the next book.

Fated Perfection!!!

Temptation thy name is Alexi Skolov and I could not resist!

This book is dark, heartbreaking, steamy, possessive, obsessive, fated perfection! ❤️

Alexi Skolov story is heartbreaking and gut wrenching and just makes you love him so much more. He is haunted by a horrific past that literally changed him. He doesn’t believe he has a future and is determined to prove his brothers can trust him this one time to get inside the Sartin crime family compound and find their long lost brother who was stolen from their family along with his twin sister as babies. There was a plan, but that plan went out the window when Alexi met Keira Sartin.

Keira had her own plans and her own demons and baggage. Under the thumb of her Ruthless cruel uncle she wants nothing more then to get her sister out of the compound and to help other Omegas and their babies. She felt inadequate as an Omega, and was reminded daily she was useless. Until she meets Alexi and her plan crumbles before her eyes!

Keira Sartin and Alexi Skolov are two broken souls that find eachother and are perfectly imperfect for one another. This couple may just be my favorite out of all so far. There is just something so intense and raw about Alexi and his need to protect Keira at all costs. But more then that it’s this need he has for her to really save him from the beast within himself. He’s vulnerable in so many ways and Keira is everything he needs. She is fearless and compassionate , strong and determined and I just loved her!

Alison Aimes continues to blow my mind with every last detail of this Ruthless world she created. Everything from the character mannerisms, to the descriptions of clothing, surroundings and objects just sets the scenes perfectly for the story that unfolds.

Broken Heir is heartbreaking madness, dangerous chaos, intensely thrilling and wickedly steamy. There are questions and answers, blood shed and twists, action and drama, swoons and love, all in one book that will hold your interest captive from start to finish!

Now about narration I cannot think of two better voices than Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke to bring these characters to life. They bring so much energy and passion they are a joy to listen to. Like for real not to sound like a creepy creeper but they bring on all my warm and tingly feelings !

My favorite of the series

Ive loved the Sokolov brothers from the beginning but Alexi has won my heart and mind. His restraint, his determination, his loyalty had me cheering for him and his beast every step of the way to win his Omega. Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke made this one very emotional. Loved every minute and cant wait for the next one to learn more about the quest to reunite the missing twins and heal this family . Well done Alison Aimes ❤️

Maybe I like Aliens....

Holy lord this book! Alison Aimes where were you all those times I said "Meh, Aliens aren't really my thing." let me tell you, they are now!!

When I say this book has everything....

- A deliciously HOT alien mafia boss
- A heroine who doesn't know exactly how much power she wields
- Fated mates
- Knotting
- Murder, betrayal, secrets & the PLOT TWISTS
- and of course, the steam was *chefs kiss*

Alexi Skolov really was the beautiful broken beast hero we all crave. From the moment he met Keira he was so concerned with keeping her safe. That was even before the feelings started getting involved. His beast even recognized something in her that he couldn't resist. There were so many times my heart ached for him and the events of his past. By no means was he weak though, he was every bit the beast you would expect from an alien planet.

Keira Sartin was always told she was nothing, less than nothing. She was never good enough for a good life, but Alexi changed her story. What was supposed to be one night ends up becoming the turning point for her. Seeing Keira go from this battered woman who had to mind her tongue to the strong woman by the side of Alexi was the cherry on top of a perfect story.

Narration people. Stella Hunter and Jason Clarke. If I have said it once I will say it again but these two are a match made in narration heaven. The way they play off one another can really be heard and at this point if they are narrating together, I will be listening. I thought I had heard Jason Clarke in all his narration glory, but this role was made for him. With all the growls Alexi tended to make because of his beast. Good heavens, I was in a state in the best way.

While I should have started with book one of the series (don't worry I will be going back to the beginning), I didn't feel like I was lost at all. Alison did an exceptional job of making this a complete standalone while also bringing in what I would expect are aspects from the previous books. Bravo to you babe because that is hard in Sci-Fi.

Obsessed with this series!

Yet another one to add to my all time favorites! Alexi’s story was a heartfelt one- full of wrath, pain and misfortune. Until he meets his match- in every way possible. And she is no simpering maiden! A true warrior in heart and spirit. She stood her ground when she needed to, and understood the bigger picture- knowing when to submit. So many authors think a “strong” female is combative and bullheaded- but that just makes me want to shut the story off because true strength is the quite and diligent type. I will definitely be relistening to this tale and watching for the next installment in this “alpha-verse” world. 🤞🏻 I hope to don’t have to wait too long!
Worth a credit?
Heck YES

Captivated

So, inlove and captivated with this series. Could not put it down. Just anticipating the next "episodes".
