About Ruthless:
Quoted from Black Expressions: The Bible story of King David and Bathsheba gets a gritty 21st-century update in Shelia M. Goss’ Ruthless. Sheba and Uriah Richards have been happily married for 10 years. Uriah’s boss is David King, a media magnate whose wealth and power are second only to his love of God. At his first sight of Sheba, David is smitten—and while he prays for strength to resist temptation, Sheba finds herself falling for David. To complicate things further, Sheba’s long-lost half-sister, Delilah, shows up—and soon she connives to get her sis Sheba into David’s bed. After David sends Uriah to an assignment in Afghanistan, he makes his move…and Sheba succumbs to his charms. Then she finds she’s pregnant. Now, only God’s mercy can set Sheba’s life right.

The moment David’s lips touched Sheba’s she knew the dynamics of their relationship had changed. Instead of pushing him off of her, like a good wife should do, she welcomed his kiss. Her mind was telling her no, but her body couldn’t deny the magnet pull that held her captive in David’s embrace.

Sheba felt as if she was having an out of body experience as she heard moans coming from her mouth as David’s hands roamed over her body. Within minutes, David had swooped her up in his arms and carried her to the king size bed. She still had time to stop what was about to happen, but instead of turning away, she reached for David and allowed the passion that had been building up between them to take over. She gave into those desires and allowed David to please her in ways that Uriah never had.
Several hours later, naked and with David’s arm wrapped around her waist, she stared into open space. David slept beside her. She could hear his soft snores as she thought about what had just transpired. She enjoyed David’s touch. David pleased her body as if it was a harp. It sang to every stroke of his touch.
Guilt threatened to fill her mind but she kept it at bay. If Uriah had been home, none of this would have ever happened. It’s his fault that she was now sleeping in the arms of another man. It’s only a coincidence that the man happened to be his boss. It wasn’t her fault. None of it was. David and Uriah were to blame as far as Sheba was concerned.

David King used the borrowed hotel key and rushed into his employee’s corporate suite to retrieve his forgotten cell phone. His bladder needed relief so he decided to make a pit stop to the bathroom before returning downstairs to the DM King Media annual corporate party.
The sound of the shower caused him to pause. The bathroom door was ajar and he could see the silhouette of a woman’s body as she showered. David knew he should have turned around and made a quick exit when he heard the shower, but his feet were planted in one spot. His mind wouldn’t will him to move.
He watched as the water slid down her flawless chestnut brown skin. David was not a peeping Tom but her hourglass figure held him captive. He observed from the distance as she exited the shower and dried off with the white fluffy towel. David had been all over the world, but never had he seen a woman as beautiful as the one who he now laid eyes upon.
Her radiant jet black hair cascaded down her back and accented her perfectly oval face. She seemed unaware that she had an audience as she sprayed on perfume. The sound of the hotel phone ringing broke David’s trance. He slid out of the hotel suite without the mystery woman ever knowing she had company.

RUTHLESS by author Shelia Goss is a modern version of David and Bathsheba. This
book is Christian fiction filled with deceit, secrets, and surprises.
David King is a renowned business mogul and appreciates the “finest” things in

associates, and his staff, David goes to great length to get what he wants.
When David sets his eyes on Bathsheba, he knows he wants to add her to his
collection.
Bathsheba is a beautiful and elegant woman. She is married to one of David
King’s top employees, Uriah. Uriah is a very dedicated employee and loves his
job just as much as he loves his wife. Bathsheba, in return, loves her husband.
But once David sees her, the wheels begin to spin…..Will David King be able to
separate the loving couple for his own sake? Will Bathsheba refuse David for
her marriage sake?
RUTHLESS is a fast pace and exciting novel. The more you read the more you

Shelia M. Goss’ Ruthless is an interesting book that places a modern twist on the biblical story of David and Bathsheba.
David King is a wealthy man who literally has it all, money, power and any woman he wants but he only has eyes for Sheba. Although he knows it is wrong he can’t stop thinking about Sheba and how he can convince her to be with him. He eventually does some ruthless things to get what he wants, but can he pay the price for his actions?
Bathsheba Baker Richards is the happily married wife of Uriah Richards. She feels an instant attraction to David but has no intention to act on that attraction. Although she and Uriah have some financial issues they are still very much in love.
When David and Bathsheba meet you just know nothing good is going to come out of this relationship especially when God is nowhere in the midst. The author also gives us closure on her first Christian fiction book in the series Delilah. We finally find out what happens to Delilah and how she relates to the story of David and Bathsheba.
I enjoyed reading this book. It started out a little choppy but the storyline picked up and moved right along. It was a very quick read. I found myself rereading 2 Samuel 11-13:25, to reacquaint myself with the biblical story and I was pleasantly surprised that Ms. Goss followed the scripture. I anxiously await the next story of her notorious women of the bible.
