Ruined: A Mafia Romance (Dark Hearts Book 1) Kindle Edition
Outside a glittering party, I saw a man in the dark. I didn’t know then that he was an assassin. A hit man. A mercenary. Ronan radiated danger and beauty. Mercy and mystery.
I wanted him, but I was already promised to another man. Ronan might be the one who murdered him. But two warring families want my blood. I don’t know where to turn.
In a mad world of luxury and secrets, he’s the only one I can trust.

- Reviewed in Australia on 10 May 2021Verified PurchaseAn amazing Romantic Suspense novel
20 year old Poppy is married off to a
Man much older than herself in order to financially support her sister with mental health issues. On the night of her Engagement she meets a man (a morally grey man) and with just a conversation he ignites something inside her. 2 years pass .... you’ll have to read it to find out what happens!
Warning it does end on a cliff hanger - but don’t worry book 2 is already out!
Trigger Warnings: domestic abuse, suicide, murder and mental health issues
- Reviewed in Australia on 17 October 2021Verified PurchaseRuined is the first book in the Hearts trilogy by M.O'Keefe and what a great start this book is.
I've been Intrigued about Ronan from previous books so I'm glad he finally got his own story. Poppy and Ronan are from different sides of the track and their romance is a slow burn but leaves you wanting more. This ended on a cliffy and Ill be jumping into the next book to continue to read Ronan & Poppy's journey.
- Reviewed in Australia on 12 January 2021I love the Midnight Dynasty series and the interconnecting characters. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this tale and boy was I surprised by the story. Poppy is a selfless individual who sacrifices her life for her sister. She knows what is expected and gives up her dreams and hopes just to ensure her sister has the care she needs. Your heart goes out to her especially when you learn that her interactions with the Senator has robbed her of her identity. He took and took and took and now she doesn't know who she is anymore. Just when things look to be taking a turn for the better, it seems that Poppy is in danger. But the thing is, it is hard to figure out where the danger is coming from. I was really invested in this story and before I realised it, I was 80% into the tale and panicked because there wasn't enough pages left to resolve everything. I'm glad that there will be more to the story. I noticed that Poppy was finally opening her eyes but still relatively naive in many respects. Be warned: this isn't the complete story so you will have to wait for more but don't let this stop you.

Narrator: Kit Swann
Enjoyable story and found a new narrator. Her male voice is excellent also a fantastic Irish accent also. Poppy finds herself in a marriage of connivence, she young and nieve, and finds herself in a world of trouble and not knowing who to trust.
- Reviewed in Australia on 14 January 2021This was my first book by this author and she did not disappoint. This is book one in the Heart's series and part of the Midnight Dynasty world.
While I was reading this one I was imagining it in audio, imagining Ronan's voice.... Lets just say in my imagination it was pretty fantastic and I'm sure if Stolen Hearts is made into an audiobook it will be just as delicious.
In this book, we get Ronan and Poppy's story. From the get-go, Ronan portrays a certain mystery that had me intrigued. Poppy although a fighter found herself in an unfortunate situation and was dealing with it the best was she could see how. She had been battered throughout the story and I'm excited to see how she builds her strength back through book two.
As expected the book ends with an epic cliffy that flows into book two. Overall a really solid twisty read.
- Reviewed in Australia on 10 January 2021What a way to be introduced to this author. !!!! Wow
I loved every second of this book. This Midnight Dynasty World gets more intriguing by the second and all I can say is you must read our mysterious Ronan, as he is one hot as sin man.
Poppy and Ronan will light your soul with a slow burn romance you will never forget. It’s mysterious, it’s thrilling and the chemistry is sizzling hot.
Poor Poppy is one worn down woman. All her life she just had to fight to make ends meet. I really felt fit her but as she’s been given challenges to overcome on a daily basis , her fighting spirit definitely starts to shine. Ronan on the other hand is an enigma. He never gives straight answers but his attraction to Poppy is heart stopping.
I honestly recommend reading this world. It’s just so addictive.
- Reviewed in Australia on 15 January 2021I’m still not sure if I like or hate Ronan yet, I know I want him but so far I kinda hate him, but I have a feeling he’s still a part of Caroline’s game and he needs to play it to get Poppy out safely.
I am loving this world and each author puts their own little spin on the characters. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
- Reviewed in Australia on 26 July 2021Verified PurchaseI really enjoyed this story. Parts I thought would happen didn’t...parts surprised me pleasantly.

Crappy ending 🤣🤣🤣🤣 a cliffhanger really!?!?
Ok, off to get the next bit 🤷🏻♀️

5.0 out of 5 stars So Aptly Titled Ruined Because It Will Wreck You
Verified PurchaseOh my goooddddddd seriously, this series!!! I won’t say just this book because I’ve read all three and I have to say it’s no wonder the first one is called Ruined because that’s what it does. Freaking wrecks you inside and then goes further and wrecks you for all other books. The book hangover after this one was intense. I started it to cure myself of an Amelia Wilde/Leo Morelli book hangover and wow. Just wow. I just lost like 6 hours of my life in a good way reading these. Couldn’t put them down. So much love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great start
Verified Purchase4.5 stars
Stolen Hearts is the first book in the Hearts Trilogy, which is part of the Midnight Dynasty universe, where we will get to meet again the Constantine and Morelli families.
This series tells the story of Ronan, a man hired by Coraline Constantine, and Poppy, which is a kind of niece to Coraline, but not by blood but through family friendship.
Poppy and Ronan first met at a Constantine party right on the night that Poppy's marriage was announced.
The plot is following Poppy's life and also Ronan is following her, even though there is not much from his point of view, the story being told only from Poppy's POV. She finds herself in a predicament after her husband's death, and is hard for her to escape her thoughts and learning's from her toxic marriage and even harder to trust people and even herself, but there were glimpses of how strong she can be, but in the end she is just a pawn in the bigger world of Constantine's. This is my feeling, but don't have any clue at the moment which might be the end story. But it's interesting and kept me connected and wanting more.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, so I can't wait to read the second book, because to be sincere I am drawn to Poppy's and Ronan story and interaction. Ronan appears as a calculated and cold guy, and I can't wait to get to know him better and see how he will take care of Poppy. And Coraline, I might start to hate her, I mean I already don't like her too much, she seems as a scheming woman, but I shall see what's her role in the whole story plot, I might end up to like her again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy **** - what a book: heart in my throat, tears in my eyes
Verified PurchaseI got to the end of this book and thought holy **** I don’t usually like books that end on a cliff hanger but all three books are available so I decided to give this one due consideration given it’s a book by M. o’Keefe (a truly outstanding author). It’s a heart wrenching novel. It made me smile, made me cry and at the end I was left on the edge of my seat. It’s late, but I HAVE to start reading the next one now. How it only has 4 stars I don’t know. I’d give it 6 stars out of five. The only way to make it better would have been to add in some dual POV.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great start to the series
Verified PurchaseRuined is the first book in the Dark Hearts series which is set in the Midnight Dynasty World. I struggled to get into the story to begin with but it soon became hard to put down. There are so many twists and turns to the story that I don't know who to trust or who is telling the truth. All I know is that I'm starting on book 2 straight away.
