Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross: Spicy Chapters, Reviews & Free Download
Story Summary
Ruthless Vows picks up immediately after Divine Rivals, with Iris Winnow devastated by Roman’s disappearance and determined to rescue him from Dacre’s grasp. Roman, whose memories have been wiped, now serves as Dacre’s scribe — writing words of war with no recollection of the love he left behind.
Iris becomes a frontline correspondent once again, documenting the destruction while clinging to the hope that Roman is still alive. Slowly, letters begin to slip between realms, reaching Roman despite the magic fogging his memory. Their bond starts to resurface through the written word — the same way they first fell for each other.
As Enva and Dacre prepare for their final confrontation, Iris and Roman are drawn back together by fate, magic, and aching familiarity. The war between gods reaches its climax, testing their loyalty, courage, and the vow they unknowingly made long before.

Spice Summary
Ruthless Vows remains low spice, with intimacy expressed through emotional tension, closeness, and soft physical connection. The book focuses more on longing, memory, and reunion than heat. There is one meaningful intimate moment, tender rather than explicit.
Chapter 34 – The Reunion Night
Once Roman regains his memories and the war’s chaos briefly settles, he and Iris finally have space to breathe. They kiss deeply — no hesitation this time. Roman lifts her face in his hands, pulling her close. They fall into bed together, undressing slowly and touching with rediscovery rather than urgency. The scene fades into implication as they move beneath the covers.
"He kissed me like he had been waiting lifetimes to remember."
