“I break all my rules around you, Poppy. Every single one.”
"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞."
"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮?"Told in dual POV, Ruined is a creatively crafted mafia-type romance where the lines of good and evil are masterfully blurred. Poppy is a practically perfect American Damsel who has to learn to grow up and fight for herself. Ronan is a typical bad boy who knows that Poppy is completely out of his league. And yet, somehow, they are thrown together, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot get enough of each other!
"...𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐧.Overall, Ruined will appeal to contemporary romance fans who like action, suspense, and intense situations. The characters are complex, and the story arc is uniquely crafted throughout each moment of the story. Be forewarned, and this first book ends on a massive cliffy hence the length it has taken me to go back and write these reviews! M. O'Keefe is a truly gifted author, and if you have not read her work, you need to!

“I break all my rules around you, Poppy. Every single one.”
“Someone should care,” he said, quietly. “Someone should care about you, Princess.”
