Summary
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.

Intense!
Connor doesn't have the best morals and isn't always the nicest guy but he sure does make for an exciting character. I love Connor and Thea's story which grabbed my attention near the beginning at the accidental sexting all the way until the end. This is what I would call a light bully romance/romantic suspense. It dealt with some heavy topics including online predators, stalking, internet security and blackmail. This has been a captivating series that I highly recommend. I love how Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher brought this story to life with their duet narration.

Absolutely fantastic performance
Wow. This book has a fantastic storyline. I think what made it so good was the flawless performance from both Violet and Michael. I now have two new favourite narrators to add to my list. The storyline really does emphasise the risks of online grooming.

The girl next door
Bishop is ruthless. He bullies the girl next door. Gets secrets from everyone to blackmail them. And he is only in highschool. When he receives a nude pic by mistake, that girl better hold on to her panties... a romance that stars with blackmail, a sweet girl with a secret and a guy who doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Would she teach him to be better? His skills used for good? I enjoyed the book, every chapter. And the voices were on point, they sounded young and full of life.

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.

Very addictive.
I received this audiobook via a promo code at my request from Audiobook Obsession and this is my voluntary review.
This is book 3 in the Veronica Eden Sinners & Saints series featuring two of the side characters from the previous book, Connor and Thea which is fun because it runs parallel to the last story so you get to see some of the same events where Devlin tormented Blair from a different perspective.
I LOVED Thea, she was this awesome lil badass with a strict mom who accidentally sent a naughty picture to the wrong guy. Sexting sexy selfies isnt really a thing I'd personally do but Thea made an even bigger problem for herself when the guy in question turns out to be the town superhacker bad boy next door.
Son of the Principal Connor loves computers, he loves the digital age where everyone might appear to have this shy reserved goodie goodie act but the web gives him access to their deepest secrets and he loves he can use those things to control the world around him. Ridgeview is his playground.
At first he doesnt know who the hot girl in the picture is, he just knows he loves what he sees and when he discovers its the nerdy girl next door hiding that body under all those unflattering sweaters, he keeps the texting going so he can have his fun & settle a score against her meddling mother. Before long, Thea is horrified at the error and becomes blackmailed to play his girlfiend when his mother demands he play the role of doting son with a future for her election campaign.
Inevitably, the hot lil nerd has won him over, and he wants her for real..but hes not the only one who wants her, and one of those secrets she kept online might just have found her too.
While the first book in the series didn't leave me with much of a good impression, Veronica's work here definitely hints at a bigger mystery in the underbelly of Ridgeview so much I'm skipping waiting for the audioversion of book4 and diving right in to Savage Wilder!

Ruthless Bishop
Ruthless Bishop
By Veronica Eden
Book 3 in the Sinners and Saints series
Narrators: Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher
4/15/21 to 04/17/21
This is a awesome series and each book is distinct in what the characters are going through. Thea is quite shy or is she? The great wide web can be a great place to meet some folks but there are predators there as well. Veronica Eden wrote a suspenseful story that deals with this topic and it kept me wanting to see what would happen, even knowing who that predator was did not diminish the suspense. Surprisingly there wasn’t as much angst between Connor and Thea as in the other books but it was still full of twists and turns that will be eye opening. Veronica writes realistic situations and this book showcases how we deal with very real issues like dysfunctional family life and not realizing what can happen when we are online and of course how when we’re young that there are cliches that try and define who we are yet Thea shows Connor that he doesn’t need to be mean. Connor’s growth is shown as his relationship with Thea continues and we get a HEA. Can’t wait for the next book.
Michael Gallagher showcased Connor’s ruthlessness and also showed his caring and willingness to create a better place for himself.
Violet Strong really came across brilliantly as the shy yet blooming Thea with all of the emotions that helped pull me into this book.
Amazing choice of narrators by Pink Flamingo Productions.

5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
When i started listening to this audio, i didnt want to put it down... why? well without spoiling it...
Firstly Violet Strong and Micheal Gallagher were just spot on, their voices where perfect and pulled me in.... it always makes a difference when you can connect with the voices and picture the characters.
Secondly, Thea and Connor- i loved their connection. The storyline had me gripped, it was such an eye opener as you truly never know who you could be speaking too- predators are real and it can happen to anyone AND can be anyone...
Definitely an Audio you can go back and re-listen to over and over....

Absolutely loved Ruthless Bishop
Bully romance has to be one of my favorite tropes in romance novels.I knew the moment I heard the second book that Connor and Thea would get there very own story within in the third book.The story about Connor and Thea who are next door neighbors.Connor is the king of blackmail at school and Thea is the nerd who wears baggy grandma sweaters.At the beginning of senior year,Thea sends a risky photo of Connor when she thinks it’s to a lifeguard she met during summer break.They start sexting each other back and forth until Connor recognizes that it’s his next door neighbor and uses this as leverage to get her to do a favor for.What sets this apart from the other books in the series was the level of bullying that Conner did towards Thea.I felt like the other characters were harsher towards their female love interest where it felt like Conner recognized his feelings for Thea right off the bat.I loved the possessive and jealous nature that Connor demonstrated.He was very protective of Thea really on in the story.The narrators did such an outstanding job with telling the story. They had brought the characters to life. I highly recommend everyone to check out this story.

love it
This is an exciting High school bully tomance. One text and a sexy picture to the wrong person, changed Thea 's life for the worst. She becomes Connor's puppet. Thea is always under Connors threat of releasing the photo.
Connor needed a clean cut girl to pose as his girlfriend, but little did he know that this fake relationship with Thea turned into something more. Underneath his broody attitude, he really is a romantic. Thea has a way to get under his skin, and show him he can be loved.
This story is dark , intense, filled with secrets, bullying, blackmail, teenage angst and is steamy. I look forward for what's coming next in this amazing series
Violet Strong and Michael Gallagher narration brings all the emotions, angst, to this amazing story. very well done.

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.

Bully Next Door
If you have ever wanted to try a high school bully romance I think this is a really great starter book. Not too heavy on bullying. and a pretty swoon-inducing H. He's just that right mix of ruthless protector and playboy. That being said check the trigger warnings. I love the h she is so adorable and I loved watching her break out of her shell.
I would like to punch each and every parent in this book. They are truly the worst.
The narration is wonderful. Very believable as high school students!

Genre: Romance, YA/NA, HS Bully, enemies to lovers, fake relationship
Standalone: Yes
Part of a Series: Sinners and Saints #3
POV: Thea and Connor
Steam Level: Toasty at times
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.

Engaging Story Line with Fantastic Narration!!!
Ruthless Bishop is book three in the Sinners and Saints series and definitely my favorite book in the series this far. It is the story of Thea, a girl who hides behind clothes too big and who feels hidden or forgotten, and Connor her next door neighbor and major bully/ blackmail aficionado. When a text Thea meant for someone else mistakenly ends up on Connor's phone, it sets them down a course neither could have predicted. Although this starts out as Connor being up to his blackmailing ways, it seems that maybe they might just be exactly what the other needs.
I actually really enjoyed this book the most of the series so far. I listened to the audiobook and it was so fantastically done, I think it perfectly complimented an already well done story. I thought I would really dislike Connor's character given his penchant for blackmail and bullying, but you could see his heart come through in his interactions with Thea and his protectiveness of her over time.
I was fully engaged in this story line start to finish and as mentioned previously, Michael Gallagher and Violet Strong did an amazing job as as Connor and Thea. I look forward to more from the author in this series as well as more from these narrators. #PinkFlamingoProductions #TheFlock

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

Another great story by Veronica Eden. I loved Bishop in this story. Thea took a bit and had to grow on me. They both come a long way and mature as the story goes. The narrators are excellent!!
