Ruin is more of a set-up than a fully fleshed out narrative, nonetheless, I am still eagerly awaiting the next installment.

This book was perfect. I usually hate dark romance but this? Masterpiece. This is why I will always and forever love Kenya Wright.
So beautiful, I couldn’t stop reading.

This is an ARC review…I was given a early copy to read and review and happy to announce this book will not disappoint in any way.
Cain and Phoenix are meant for each other and I can’t wait to what happens with them and the others. Two broken souls find something special. I have read dark romance and this was not bad, I sometimes cringed at some parts but I could not put this book down, like I had to finish it! Phoenix best friend Quin is hilarious for sure everyone should have a friend like that!
Now Mrs. Rose I am ready for the next book like yesterday

Interesting
**Audiobook review **
*****Major trigger warning: mention of child SA*****
Ruin started off with a bang, literally with pew pews lol. There was slight action in the beginning and then it kind of mellowed out in my opinion. Cain and Pheonix had some very deep conversations mixed with a few spicy scenes.
Lance and Lacy did a great job narrating, and the sound effects for some parts? Mmm top notch!
Overall pretty interesting and I'm curious as to what the future has in store for those two.

What a ride!
Not sure what I think considering the intensity that Cain/Cole feels coming after two days of "connecting" with Phoenix.
There are some questions I wonder about that I would have liked the author to answer.
1. Has Cain educated himself on using knives and the other medical instruments?
2. How much was the check the church gave him after the priest's murder? Did it cover the costs of renovating his high tech chapel? His soul coffin?

Not my cup of tea. It feels very disjointed, and more intensely focused on the blood play. The entire book reads like an ode to the experience/kink, which again isn't my cup of tea so...

I received this book as an ARC for review. *****Trigger Warning****
Ruin is a page-turning psychological thrill! Phoenix and Cain are complicated characters and Taylor Rose wrote them well. Phoenix and Cain are both strong troubled characters, and when they come together- whew! There are moments which may be triggering. On the other side of those moments are amazing characters and thrills.
This book drew me in from the beginning and kept me on an emotional rollercoaster! I felt every emotion right along with Phoenix and Cain. Taylor Rose wrote this so well I can still visualize each character and the locations. This is not my typical read, but now I can't wait to read Taylor Rose's next dark psychological romance book!
