Ruthless Bishop

Dark New Adult High School Bully Romance (Sinners and Saints)

By: Veronica Eden

Narrated by: Violet Strong, Michael Gallagher

Everyone has something to hide.

Thea
I was invisible until I wasn’t.

One mistyped number became the catalyst to my hell on earth when I accidentally sent a risqué photo to the blackmail king of Silver Lake High. Now Connor Bishop holds it as a bargaining chip over my head. I’ve become his doll, at his mercy in a corrupt castle.

Better do as he says or else, or else, or else....

His thumb is on the send button every time I try to buck his command. Can I survive a private photo going viral instead of living this life of torment?

It’s not right. Maybe it’s time his castle burns down.

Some lies are more dangerous than others.

Connor
Meek. Shy. Wholesome.

Thea Kennedy was picture-perfect innocence until she wasn’t. The unexpected photo is the juiciest secret to land in my lap in a while. Who knew she was hiding luscious curves under frumpy sweaters?

With one racy selfie, Thea stepped into my world, where I control the board. I’ll trap the little mouse and won’t let her escape the depraved kingdom I built.

But there are darker monsters than me lurking in the shadows. They want to take a bite out of my little mouse. I don’t like sharing what’s mine.

Note: Ruthless Bishop is Book Three of the Sinners and Saints series, but can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. This audiobook is a dark new adult high school bully romance recommended for listeners 18 or older and contains mature themes and content that some listeners might find triggering or offensive. Please proceed with caution.

Critic reviews

"You do not want to miss this masterpiece dark romance. Starting from a hot chapter to the perfect ending, this book was the whole package for me! A definite recommendation to all the dark romance lovers!" (@Abstract_Books)

Fantastic job with the Author and Narrators!

First of all, I want to say that Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher were pure perfection in narrating this audiobook. I loved the duet style in the way they poured every emotion imaginable in all the characters they had to play. It made the book so much more enjoyable which is hard to believe because Veronica gave us an incredible story. I think that Connor and Thea are my favorite couple in the series, but I said that about Devlin and Blair in the last book. Ha ha. I guess she has set a high standard for Fox and Maisy. 😊

I love the way Connor treated Thea. He was not so much a huge bully like Devlin and Lucas were to Blair and Gemma. He was actually very protective of her which made him enduring to me. Yes, he was a bit of a tease in the beginning, but you end up seeing a very different side of him through Thea’s eyes. I also love the sweetness of Thea. She was kind but at the same time she was very strong. I love the fact that she would stand up for others even if she didn’t know the person. We need more people like her in the world.

The one thing I like about Veronica’s books is how she introduces the next couple in the story line so that we can look forward to reading how the relationship will take place.

Now, I just have to wait for the next audiobook. A lot of the times I would suggest just reading the book, but in this case I think it would be worth the credits to listen to the whole series on audiobook because the acting is incredible.

Different...

What I liked most about this story is how Connor gets completely engrossed in Thea who is not like any girl he's hooked up with. Even as she's figuring out her own insecurities she still keeps him on his toes demanding respect. Their dynamic is a bit different than the other characters in the Sinners and Saints series despite the fact that Connor starts their "relationship" off in complete bully fashion.

I really enjoyed this in Audible.

Great read!

Love it! I love how they end up being together. It could have been a 5 ⭐️ but she was being stupid at the end. Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher did an amazing job at narrating

Ruthless Bishop

Ruthless Bishop is the third book in the Sinners and Saints series. The timeline in this book overlaps the same timeline in Tempting Devil. Thea and Connor have been nextdoor neighbors for a long time. He never really gave her a second glance. Then one night she mistakenly texted him. Connor is Principal Bishop's son and is the king of secrets and blackmail. This book may have small triggers for some. This book had me hooked from the very beginning. I can't wait to see what happens in Wilder's book. Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher did amazing narrating in duet style.

Very good

I enjoyed this book good standalone bully romance fun and entertaining my favorite in the series so far. Narrators did a good job but they were not my favorite. can't wait to hear the rest of the series

Loved this!!

I absolutely recommend listening to this one in the series order since we have overlapping timelines that corelate to the previous books

This was seductively dark and pushed all my buttons.

I enjoyed the narration. It was very enjoyable.
Definitely recommend this series

I love this Series!

This is the third book in the amazing Sinners and Saints Series, a bully romance. Thea and Connor's story is well written and intricate, filled with mystery, danger, and twists and turns. They are opposites attract, but they are perfect together. This is another great addition to the Series. Looking forward to listen to Savage Wilder, the next book in the Series. Michael Gallagher and Violet Strong did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. #TheFlock #PinkFlamingoProductions #AudiobookObsession

The narrators as always did an amazing job

5/5

Ruthless Bishop is the third book in the Sinners and Saints series. Each book is a standalone but all interconnect so I recommend reading this series in order. There is not an overarching story it's just fun to see the epic love stories that have come before. Ruthless Bishop deals with some hard issues including internet predators, body image, infidelity (not from the main characters), trust and power. I loved both the character arcs for Thea and Connor Ruthless Bishop is a great addition to the Sinners and Saints series and I cannot wait for more.

I received this audiobook for free from Pink Flamingo Productions and Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

A Must Read/Listen

Ruthless Bishop by Veronica Eden is a dark new adult high school bully romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher. This is the third book in the Sinners and Saints series and can be read as a standalone.

The book does come with a warning/caution: " Ruthless Bishop is a dark new adult high school bully romance with romantic suspense elements intended for mature readers. This book is part of a series but can be enjoyed as a standalone. The Sinners and Saints series boys are all devilish antiheroes brought to their knees by a spitfire heroine, so if you love enemies-to-lovers and hate-to-love type stories, you’re in the right place. This mature new adult romance contains dubious situations, bullying, blackmail, stalking, a predator, crude language, and intense sexual/violent content that some readers might find triggering or offensive. Please proceed with caution."

This is the third book of Veronica's that I have read and it definitely won't be my last. I absolutely loved the relationship between Connor and Thea. Their relationship may have started off on the wrong foot but in the end you couldn't help but root for them.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Savage Wilder to be released on audio so I can get Fox and Maisy's story.

Violet and Michael did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you like dark romances, bully romances, fake relationships or enemies-to-lovers.
