Ruin by Taylor Rose
3.0
Not my cup of tea.
MAN!!!! This story was just too dark for my taste. Cain and Phoenix are some messed up people in the head. The things they experienced in their youth, molded them into the adults they were. Cain had to change his focus on his life when his parents died. Phoenix's mother turned on her when she told her what was happening to her, causing Phoenix to go into self-preservation mode and run away to live on the streets. Neither Cain nor Phoenix expected to find love to cool their darkness. Cain welcomed the love but Phoenix..... not so much.
This story was a long detailed tale about how a man who turned his back on God and his journey through darkness to find love. His love interest had dark tales of her own. She missed the love and safety of her mother but knew that was gone. Now, this man wants to give her what she's been missing in her life.
This was my first read by this author. "Ruin" was the only book recommended by Facebook's BWSL's 2022 list that I did not like. Besides that, I HATE cliffhangers! There was just too much unsettled in this story and with my preferences, I don't see myself reading any more from this series.
