Holy mother of WTF did I just read?! *Dukes of Ruin* is an electrifying plunge into a world where dark secrets, complex characters, and twisted relationships reign supreme. This gripping tale introduces us to the Bruins: Pretty Nick, the narcissistic and obsessive brother; Simon, the adorably awkward “horny virgin” with a unique reason; and Remy, their troubled friend grappling with mental health and addiction. The narrative is anything but ordinary—a cocktail of laughter and shock that leaves you bewildered yet craving more.
At the heart of this story is Lavinia Lucia, the formidable daughter of the King of Counts, sold into a world dominated by power and manipulation. The richness of royal history intertwined with the sinister undertones of the Bruins' lives paints a vivid picture that's both thrilling and darkly alluring. This is not your average romance; it's a ride through a twisted labyrinth of emotions and consequences.
Lawson and Rue have outdone themselves with *Dukes of Ruin*. With each turn of the page, the tension escalates, leaving readers desperate for answers. How will Nick earn forgiveness? What truth lies within Tate's story? The anticipation is unbearable, and the only thing I’m certain of is that I will be eagerly awaiting the next installment. If you’re ready to dive into a world where nothing is as it seems and characters are beautifully flawed, then grab a copy of *Dukes of Ruin*. You won't regret it!

These books are a fast paced slow burn! So many different things going on at once but it all flows and works together to make one badass story! HIGHLY recommend to read them in order so you do not miss any of the back stories that are being developed as the series moves along. These characters made me HATE them.....they made me FEEL for them.....they made me loathe them entirely UNTIL they made me fall hopelessly in love with them at the end of their story!kganley's review

I'm not sold on these guys yet. They are physically, mentally, verbally abusive and they sexually assault her. So we shall see if the win her, and me, over. The Lords did, so I'm sure these guys will too
